    Tonneau covers and overhead racks

    I'm looking for an overhead rack and tonneau cover combination and need some ideas. Right now I'm leaning towards an Extang Solid Fold 2.0 tonneau and KB Voodoo's Utility Rack. I don't know if this is my best option though. I'm open to retractable tonneaus as well, though I'm not sure which I'd...

    Fire extinguisher mounting in a 1st gen Tundra *updated*

    Does anyone have a fire extinguisher mounted in the cab of their 1st gen Tundra? What size and where/how did you mount it? I'm looking for ideas for my 2005 double cab. I'm thinking on the floor behind the driver's seat, but then it would be hard to access when we're fully loaded. Perhaps...

    Solar charging 90AH deep cycle battery

    So I'm a total noob when it comes to electronics, batteries etc. I'm slowly learning though. The main reason I got into overlanding is because I'm a fly fishing addict and love exploring the remote backcountry of northern Alberta and BC in search of more and bigger fish. Part of that pursuit...

    Need a new battery - 2005 Tundra

    My factory battery is pretty corroded and I'm pretty sure it's the original one so it's around 12 years old. I'm looking for suggestions on what to replace it with. I've been eyeballing the Costco batteries, but I'm not sure if there's better ones. - This truck lives in northern Alberta...

    Mounting brackets for Scepter military fuel canisters?

    Considering how fuel thirsty my 2005 Tundra is, I only get about 400 - 450 kilometer range on a tank of fuel. I'm planning to pick up 3 of the good 20 liter (5 gal) Scepter military fuel canisters and 1 20L water canister. However, I'm going to need a way to mount them in the box of my truck. I...

    Help me pick the new rubber for my 2005 Tundra!!

    I'll be using part of my tax return this year to have new rubber put on my 05 Tundra. I'll be getting them in 265/75/R16. I live in northern Alberta, avoid deep mud, spend about 75% of my time on pavement and the rest on rough gravel roads. I don't want a really loud tire, so I'm looking for...

    Opinions on Ready Lift levelling kits?

    I had my 2005 Tundra in for an oil change today and got to talking to the parts guy since I'd like to put a levelling kit in this year. Toytec seems to be the primo choice. Unfortunately, the Toyota dealership doesn't sell them. They can install them, but their techs haven't seen them much so he...

    2005 Tundra diff breather relocation

    So my truck is in the shop right now. My rear axle seals are leaking due to a clogged diff breather. Enough of that says I, so when I get the truck back I plan to relocate my diff breather. My plan is to run 1/4" or 3/8" fuel line from the breather up to the fuel filler port and have the...

    I finally found a truck. Let the fun begin! aka My 1st Gen Experience and slow build.

    I snagged an insanely clean 2005 Tundra double cab with only 127,000kms on it with a bunch of extras for a great price. It's even "expedition white". LOL Now I get to figure out how to set it up for my backcountry adventures. I've already swapped my cross bed tool box into the truck for now and...

    Wanted: Toyota Tundra, Tacoma or 4runner in Alberta

    Hope I put this in the right place. If not, mods please feel free to move it. Throwing out a hail mary here but I'm looking for a used Toyota Tundra ('05+), Tacoma or 4Runner in Alberta, Canada. I'd prefer something Edmonton or north, but I'll travel for the right vehicle/price. I live in...

    More questions! LOL 2003 4runner?

    Yeah, I know. I'm bugging you guys. LOL. This is such a great source of knowledgeable people though. As some may have seen, the 2004 Tundra I was looking at didn't pan out so I kept looking. I just came across a 2003 4Runner, SR5 with the 4.7L V8. 200,000kms on it. Dealer is saying it has a 5...

    Things to know about a 2004 Tundra?

    I'm currently looking at a 2004 Tundra, crew cab, TRD package. It drives nice, but the brakes are a little mushy. The dealer still needs to do the AMVIC inspection on it and made note to check the brakes. They'll have to put new ones in before I buy it. Overall it seems in good condition...

    Best engine and trim level to get for Subaru Outback?

    Although we're about a year out, we're starting to research what will be my girlfriend's next car. She's been liking the looks of the Subaru Outback. We'll probably be buying used one unless we get a smoking deal on a brand new one. Most likely 2013 or newer. This car would be our main...
