    Help a confused guy put a power bank together (on a shoestring budget)?

    I've been thinking about cobbling together some sort of a power bank, possibly solar powered or possibly not, to take camping and to take to music festival (assuming those ever happen again). All I really want to do with it is run some lights at night, charge cell phones and laptops, and maybe...

    Who's making MOLLE panels for Tacomas?

    I've got a second-gen, access cab, Tacoma and am looking to maximize gear storage. I'd like to mount a couple of MOLLE panels in the backseat. Anyone know of a good source for a molle panel that I could maybe mount on the plastic area between the backseats back rests? The flat area is about...

    WTB: Tacoma bed rack that goes over a Softopper

    I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking for a rack that will go over a Softopper. I've debated just having one built, or ordering one from SOS, but since I'm not 100% sure I'm keeping the ST, I feel like looking for a used one is smart. I've got a 2nd gen Taco with a 6' bed, but am open to...

    Cheaper alternative to ARB awning?

    I'm looking for an awning to attach to the side of a topper on the back of a truck. I was looking at both the ARB and the Tepui awnings, but honestly, I just don't think they're worth what they cost and you're really paying for the name. Is there a cheaper (but still decent quality) awning I'm...

    Who's got OME 885's and medium Darkars on their Taco?

    I'm in the process of selling off my first gen Tacoma. I'm going to use some of the funds to build up my new(er) second gen. On the first gen, I installed OME 880 springs with light duty Darkars. In theory, I should have gotten about 1.75" of lift from this but wound up with more like 2.5"-3"...

    If you had to pick one: Skid plates or rock sliders?

    I'm in the process of planning a build on a 2011 Tacoma TRD Off Road. I'm planning on installing an OME 2" lift (885 coils and Dakars), but am only planning on running 265/75/r16 tires. I'd like to have a little more ground clearance, but in the interest of gearing and fuel mileage, probably...

    Best deal on OME suspension?

    I'm planning on swapping a full OME kit into my second gen Taco (probably the medium duty one), but obviously want to get the best bang for my buck. Cruiser Outfitters has the best prices, but their shipping quote was pretty high. Wheeler's Offroad and Toytec are a little more expensive than...

    WTB: Camper for Tacoma (6ft bed)

    Well, I've grown tired of changing my pants laying down in the back of a truck with a topper/sleeping platform. Alongside that, I've realized that I'll never be able to afford an OVRLND or Habitat, so I'm looking for a pop up camper. So, is anyone out there selling anything that'll fit on an...

    What slide-in campers have you all tried on your Tacomas?

    I'm trying to find a camper (preferably a pop up, but everything is negotiable) that will fit both a first-gen, as well as a second-gen Tacoma. I know FWC makes one ($$$!) and I've seen a few others (Swift, Travelite, etc... unfortunately none local to me) but the supply seems to be pretty low...

    Set up a Puma DC02 as a portable air compressor? Or just go with Smittybilt/Viar?

    I'm making some plans to get back out to the Rockies this summer and want to be able to air down, which I usually skip because I lack a compressor. I was tempted to pick up a Puma DC02 and mount it under the hood (hardwired) but I know I'm not going to keep my truck forever, so it seems like...

    3rd gen 4runner wheels on a 2nd gen Tacoma?

    A buddy of mine is looking to build up his 2012 TRD (Sport) Tacoma. It's got some atrocious ghetto rims (18's? 20's?) from the PO that need to go. He likes the looks of the 235/85r16's that are on my first gen. Taco, and I wouldn't mind selling my wheels and tires to him since I've been thinking...

    Thoughts on upgrading from an '04 Tacoma to a '16 Tacoma?

    So, a guy here locally is selling a 2016 Tacoma TRD/Off Road. I've been driving my '04 SR5 for a few years now and I love it. I've driven it all over the east coast, Appalachian Mountains, I've done trails in Wyoming and Colorado with it and I camp out of it about a month a year total. I'm...

    Beating a dead horse, but.... Hiking boots?

    Hey all, I've been digging around the forum doing a little research about hiking boots (I desperately need a pair). I haven't exactly found an answer to my unique(?) problem so here goes: I'm looking for a pair of hiking boots. I really like the build quality of the European (especially...

    Own an 04-12 Colorado or Canyon? Measure your cup holder for me?

    Here's a random request but I promise that, should this work out, I'll explain myself. :ylsmoke: The cup holders on the 2004-2012 GMC Canyon or Chevy Colorado (I believe either front or rear) slide onto a metal tab when installed in place. Here's my question, could someone who owns one of...

    1986 4Runner, 134k miles, in Ohio

    Not mine, but I stumbled onto this one today: https://athensohio.craigslist.org/cto/5805566014.html Not as sweet as a SFA '85, but still pretty sweet!

    (Re)Waterproofing an old tent?

    I got a great deal on a vintage "auto" tent. It's one of those jobs that attaches to the back of a van or SUV (or in my case, the back of a pickup with a topper) giving you a place to change clothes or whatever. I used it over the past weekend and I love it - more privacy, can stand up in there...

    Anyone extended the transmission or transfer case beathers a Tacoma? (First gen/auto)

    I've been meaning to extend my differential breather for a while and thought I should do the transmission and transfer case breathers too. The problem is, I can't get to the breathers on the transmission or transfer case. At least not from the bottom, can't even see them from the underside...

    Cases for or against extending transmission and trans-case breathers

    So I've been thinking that I need to extend the differential breather on my Tacoma's third member (take a hose from the stock breather location, run it up somewhere high in the fender or something, then add a two-way breather to the end of the hose). I get the rationale for this, that if the...
