    What direction did you head when you outgrew your 4runner?

    Getting to the point that my 5th gen 4runner is feeling cramped. It does a little bit of everything well (not great), but after getting back from a week long camping trip it's hard not to start looking elsewhere. Family of 4. Two little kids that keep growing, a dog that has stopped growing...

    How much room between cabover and truck roof?

    Question for everyone, I'm putting my FWC Eagle I've had on a Tacoma onto a newly acquired Crewmax Tundra. When I built my riser platform 4" between the two seemed enough. Now that it's on and I'm looking at it looks smaller then I usually see. I think I'm still good, anyone have other...

I found some plastic tile trim at the local hardware box store that looked like it would work, but it wasn't wide enough to hold the doors. Any ideas? I imagine they make thicker tile trim...

    Fly and drive, 7500 miles Arizona to Alaska

    Hello All, With as much as I enjoy reading others trip reports and using them for both inspiration and daydreaming I thought I’d throw one of my own out there. Who knows, maybe someone will find it useful, or at least good for a few minutes of daydreaming, if nothing else, it’ll serve as a...

    Prepping a 2004 Tacoma for a FWC Eagle Camper?

    Hello all, I need to prep my truck (2004 Tacoma, TRD, extra-cab, 6' bed) for the 2006 Four Wheel Camper Eagle I recently picked up. I've read forums/posts until I'm dizzy but I still had a few questions. Frame strengthening plates for the Tacoma - do I need them? I'm not planning on...
