    Tiny House Tundra

    The project is to build an expo Tundra that's capable off road, comfortable on the highway without a COG that makes it like driving a sailboat, and finally that has a very comfortable self contained living quarters (4WC). The build kicked off last May but the wait time on parts has kept the pace...

    Anyone running Stealth F5 wheels on a 2nd gen Taco?

    My new 255/85-16 Coopers are rubbing my UCAs at lock (2015 DC Taco with OME suspension and OE wheels). I'm debating going to a negative offset wheel to correct the problem. That said I don't want to create any rubbing issues on the body. Anyone running F5s on a 2nd gen Taco?

    2004 Lexus LX 470 Expedition Build, AZ

    SOLD We're selling our expedition built '04 LX 470. It's being replaced by a 4WC Hawk equipped Tundra, the build is just kicking off and it should be a blast. However this leaves me with less room, and time, for the LX. Clean car fax, no rust, runs great, 178K miles, $35K (OBO). Here's a...

    WTB: Maggiolina Medium Grand Tour

    Hola! A good pal is looking for a Medium Maggiolina Grand Tour (his computer is down so I'm helping him out). He's south of Tucson but is likely willing to drive a good distance for one in good shape. Thanks!

    12V LED camp kitchen lights

    I'm looking for a pair of LEDs (one on each D pillar) to mount in our 100 series to illuminate the kitchen. We have a fuse block in the back so power is easy, thus something more permanent than Luminoodles (although they do look really cool). Having the ability to dim them, or change colors...

    Whistling Maggiolina...

    So, I mounted our Maggiolina (medium AirLand) on our 100 on a Front Runner Rack (with wind deflector installed). Looks great however it loudly whistles, even at low speed. It is pretty far forward on the rack so I'm thinking that somehow may be causing the whistle. As the rear bolts are a bear...

    High quality hand held (FRS?GMRS)?

    We're looking for a set of well made hand helds. Baofengs always come up, however the made in China thing is off-putting. Can anyone recommend an alternative high quality dual-band hand held? Thanks!

    Best 27F battery?

    The 100 needs a battery, so I looked on Sears website and they no longer make a Platinum AGM 27F (what I have happily run in all of our rigs for quite some time). I want an AGM, what is the best option? Thanks!!

    Magiollina Grand Tour on 100 series OE roof rack?

    We mounted a medium Grand Tour this afternoon on the 80 and the COG is way too high (tall 80 w/ a tall Front Runner rack)...thus I'm thinking about moving it over to the 100. It seems that the OE 100 series roof rack will do fine until I can procure something better (slimline 2 probably). Has...

    Best sleeping pad

    I know this has been covered before but wanted to get an up to date consensus. Weight isn't an issue as it will be carried in the vehicle. What is the most comfortable sleeping pad available? I'm looking for something 6' long to fit in the bed of my work truck. Thanks!!

    Sat phone advice

    So...time to buy a sat phone for emergencies in the back country. I'm in too many vehicles to rely on radio comms and a SPOT doesn't give me the communication options I need, "Send a medevac bird to these coordinates and be prepped for a sucking chest wound", etc... I used sat phones a lot at...

    Best 100 series aftermarket lower ball joints?

    The 100 needs upper and lower ball joints... I'm going with adjustable uppers from Slee and wasn't sure what the best available lowers are, OE joints aren't available as they come as a complete LCA assembly. Thoughts?

    Best LC mechanic in Tucson?

    Mothballing a Landcruiser...

    It looks like the 62 build will be a ways down the road & I'm looking into mothballing it like an airplane (no place to store it inside). Tucson & Marana have countless airplanes with Sprayplat over parts that are UV sensitive, however I have no idea where (or if it is possible) to acquire...

    Massive Dry Bag

    I'm looking for a waterproof/dust-proof way to carry our sleeping bag (not an issue with the 80 series but when using the Taco a necessity). The problem is that we use a massive Cabela's two person Adam & Eve bag, it is great however beyond huge. When we had our RTT the bag lived up top, but...
