    1971 Power Wagon camper project

    I also have a 1971 Power Wagon (W100). If you have any questions along the way, I'll happily share what I know. Unless someone changed it along the way, you have an NP205 transfer case on that truck. The front axles for '71 were all closed-knuckle. The good news is that swapping a newer axle...

    I appreciate the offer, but we're trying to downsize the fleet.

    2000 Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series

    Only spots I’m aware of are the driver side A-pillar and on the number trim where the paint is missing. I can try to get a pic of the underneath tomorrow in the daylight.

    Inverter Install

    Not to be that dude, but it sounds like there has not been a large amount of research put into this endeavor. That usually ends poorly when dealing with electricity. You may want to consider the layout of your "house" electrical system along with how it will be used before making the inverter...

    FWC Finch in Denver Area?

    I think I'll make an appointment with the Rocky Mountain store and see what they have. In looking around, I may want to go with a ute bed version anyway. Still pondering what I want to do here... Thanks!

    Lighting Comparison

    Thanks for the additional cross-eye information. This is actually the way I ended up mounting these. I did a little "guessing" at the cross-over distance, but then used a shake-out run to validate. On a positive note, I am DONE with all of the wiring projects on my vehicle for a bit, so I can...

    Lighting Comparison

    I have spent a bit of time reading here and, though there is some good information, there still does not seem to be any definitive answers (are there ever?). After spending some time thinking about why I am even bothering to spend the time and money on these lights, I know that they will...

    2013 Tacoma Parts

    Since installing my ARB bumper and light kit, I have a few parts lying around that will not be used. If you are in need and are willing to arrange shipping, they are yours: 1. OEM fog lights 2. Bumper side trim pieces (white) 3. Lower bumper air dam (black plastic) I may even have all the...

    Lighting Comparison

    So given all of this confusion around lighting, I finally decided how I was going to approach this problem: There are guys on this forum that any manufacturer would happily give lights to for promotion. When I look at what they choose when they pay for the lights, it appears that there is a...

    FWC Finch in Denver Area?

    Thanks guys. I'm looking for a camping solution for my Tacoma. Not sure if I'm going to go this path, but I want to look into it more. I do have OME Dakar leafs in the back, so the suspension is not quite as puny as stock and thinking a bit of weight might balance things out in the back end...

    Concern

    Nice ride! I recently added an ARB Bull Bar and Slee Sliders. We're building twins!

    FWC Finch in Denver Area?

    Does anyone in the Denver area have a FWC Finch camper that my wife and I could put eyes on? We've been looking at truck campers and bumper-pulls, but not finding much of interest. We rolled by the office of Rocky Mountain Four Wheel Campers, but they were closed and it didn't look like they...

    Stock look switches for late-model Tacoma

    Here are some more pictures of the switches, plus some info on a mod I performed that I think really helps keep the stock look with these switches. Here is the finished product with flash so you can see how they compare to the OEM ATRAC switch: Zoomed out to give you a better view of the...

    How to Modify Vehicle Wiring - Starting with the DO NOTs

    About five minutes when I'm not taking pictures for a forum post. I will absolutely agree with the crimp-only method on large guage wiring with copper terminal lugs. Since copper is a noble metal, it actually welds into a solid piece under pressure and your lug is electrically and mechanically...

    How to Modify Vehicle Wiring - Starting with the DO NOTs

    How I Use Crimp Connectors I started the thread by talking about what not to do, so now I'll add to that by detailing how I install crimp connectors. First. Here is the crimp connector with which I'm starting: I use a pair of pliers and needle nose pliers to pull off the plastic cover...
