    Tundra vs metal post. Advice needed

    Hit a post with my tundra. See pics. Do I get it fixed professionally? $4500ish or take insurance money and bend the bed back to fit a tail light and get a high clearance bumper? Truck is a 2010 with 185k on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2017 Guerrilla Gravity Trail Pistol $1000

    Looking at a northstar tc800

    It’s a 1998. May be able to get it for 2500. Deal or walk? I wanted a northstar due to their reputation for being good for off road. Not Baja but just mtn roads. https://recvehicle.com/listings/1998-northstar-tc800-truck-camper/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Which Truck? Tacoma Or Tundra

    As the title says I am torn between these two trucks. I currently have a built 97 80 series LC. I love it and love its nostalgia. It doesnt tow our 3000lbs camper very well and I average around 11-12 mpg not towing. Crap mileage and no power is annoying. I can justify crappy mileage if there is...

    Coolant or distilled water?

    What do you carry in the rare case of a surprise coolant leak? I have been carrying a open jug of coolant and as it heated up in my cargo box it expands and leaks out of the cap. Thinking of just getting a jug of distilled water for future use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Heater type for Kodiak Canvas tent?

    I have searched but can't really find a definitive answer. What kind of heater would serve my need best? I am ok camping in the cold but a heater would make the wife much more willing. I have heard of ventilation issues with propane. I don't camp in places where I can plug in an electric...

    Slight ratchet noise from pass side front end when turning right.

    I have a mystery noise that I cannot replicate 100% of the time. When I start pulling away from an intersection making a right hand turn from 0-5mph (est) I hear a very slight ratchet noise. I have done the figure 8 test from steering lock to steering lock and no noise. I think my pass side sway...

    How much thought do you put into tread depth on new tires?
