    Such limited 4x4 van choices with decent gas mileage (in the US)

    EU emissions are much higher. "...the average (model year 2010 onward) car on the road in the EU emits around 6 to 10 times the amount of NOx emitted by an average car in the U.S., while the EU standards permit emissions only about 1 to 4 times higher than the U.S. standards. But it's not a...

    DIY Composite Camper T100 Expedition Vehicle Build

    I think they didn't use any physics... :unsure: The T100 and the older pickups used a fully boxed frame which is torsionally stiff. You can hard mount campers to that with no worries. The Tacoma and Tundra have had C-channel in the back until recently. Those frames twist a lot, and so if your...

    2020 Ford F250 on 37s - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

    Too pretty! Better take it out to the desert and get a few scratches ASAP, before something worse happens... 🤪

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    Surely that isn't true of the 3/4+ engines?

    Lifting jack

    The stock Toyota jack. It's mechanical/screw and has a long range. You need to put down blocks to bring the jack so it's almost touching what you want to lift.

    2006 Toyota Tundra - BaT - 76k Miles

    That's the one I like... stick is best, the power is adequate... and most people are turned off but the smaller engine and so they are cheaper.

    Northern Lite 610 for 1/2 Ton PU

    And less space in the sleeping berth. I'm not sure how all you couples are managing it, but I designed mine for NS sleeping (so both could get in an out without crawling over the other) and enough headroom for "romantic exploits"... and a taller flatbed style made the most sense. The 610...

    Mid-size vs Full-size truck setup

    I don't think driving in the city is going to be fun in any of these. Don't know the particulars, but often two vehicles makes more sense. A smallish hybrid being ideal for city use, or even EV.

    2006 Toyota Tundra - BaT - 76k Miles

    A few of the 5.7s in the 2nd gen have gone >1,000,000 miles. This guy did it in 2007 (2nd gen) with the 4.7, and is closing in on it with a 2014 with the 5.7. https://www.motor1.com/news/702983/2014-toyota-tundra-million-miles/ I don't think there is anything magic about any of them. A big V8...

    Hilux-frame compared to Land Cruiser 200/Ranger

    The Tundra was closed C, with extra C-channel pieces riveted in top and bottom. My crude measurement is ~185x75x3.2mm (or 1/8") for the main part and similar thickness for the riveted in pieces, so ~6.4mm top and bottom. The rear part of the frame is smaller and single wall though.

    Maybe the Bronco, not the Ranger.

    Kona Fire Mountain 45% off, opinions needed.

    The suspension forks are junk (wish they'd just put rigid ones on them), but the bikes in this range aren't too bad usually for casual riding. I'd also consider this one: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Schwinn-29-Axum-Mens-Mountain-Bike-19-in-Frame-8-Speeds-Black/288838682 For the money it's a...
