    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Installed the Prinsu after it living in the garage for the winter. It’s finally starting to look like my truck again. All I need now is my VHF in.

    *RickRunner* - Rickashay's 05 T4R

    Coffee creek? Or is that above the arm? I worked right at the back up there one season- most bear poop per step I’ve ever seen. We’re booking at Kokanee for a week in August, you guys around?

    Subaru Forest Questions

    We have an 08 Forester, called the Sg model- it’s the last of the wagon body like the earlier ones (called SF) rather than the suv models (SH/SJ). Ej25 headgaskets are notorious but that engine was used in the Impreza and Outback forever as well. Come check out subaruforester.org for more..

    Family vehicle Toyota vs Jeep

    We have a 6yo and a 4yo and a lab- DCLB tacoma has been perfect for everyone. Canopy keeps doggo safe and dry and carries all our gear. Back seats have fit all sizes of kids seats, and it is small enough to daily drive and park in underground at work. It even pulls the trailer for camping...

    Should you buy a truck that has had the frame replaced?

    Our 2005 had a frame replacement in 2015- new Dana frame, plus everything that was connected to it including lower swing arms and rear spring packs. It worked out well for us, a 10 year old frame replaced by brand new because of a quarter size hole beside the catalytic converter. $14000 worth...

    Awesome, looking forward to your build. We just replaced our ailing 2005 with a 2017 Trd Sport. I like the direction you are going.

    How good are Subarus?

    We have a 2008 Forester and a 2005 Tacoma. For on road, year round, carry the family, explore a new town the Forester is awesome. For off road or carrying things and pulling the trailer the Tacoma fits perfect. I daily the truck, and appreciate the Subaru as a safe family wagon were I don't need...

    Will I regret Michelin at2's in BC?

    Just finished a 12+ hr drive to northern Alberta on highways with the new K02- family didn't notice a thing- which is about as good of a review as I can get.

    Will I regret Michelin at2's in BC?

    Cooper AT3, Hankook ATM, or Toyo AT2 are all more affordable options. A friend of mine had good luck with this place shipping tires out of Vancouver; https://www.4tires.ca/ But you have to have somewhere to mount and balance them. Also check the Toyo CT it's a new Canadian only tire!

    Will I regret Michelin at2's in BC?

    Watch Kijiji for take offs! Or go to Costco and get K02s! The Ltx At2 were the same price when I was buying last spring. Also watch for the CT sales- father in law picked up a set of Goodyear territory's for the price of three- they use the duratrac case with a different tread design. Yikes...

    Need a new battery - 2005 Tundra

    I just put a CT eliminator into both the Tacoma (12y/o) and our Subaru (9y/o).. got the most cca I could without going to an AGM type.. I've seen a few people have problems with them recharging properly from the Toyota alternators.. Went with CT because there is one on almost every town and...

    Nice pics Addison - makes my koots tingle.. not even that smokey for the end of July. I've been watching the fire south of you - glad to see it's not doing much.

    Solar power: Wire gauge and length questions....

    I just finished working on my 90w Coleman kit, I shortened up the lead on the panel, replaced the 6ft extension with a 20ft extension cord, mounted the controller into a spare peli-case I had, put a port in the side of the case, then made up a permanent harness for the trailer batteries- and...

    Help me pick the new rubber for my 2005 Tundra!!

    My Father-in-Law is out of Fairview, he loves his Goodyear Territorys year round on his Sierra- his farm rig is a Suzuki with bfg t/a and they both do really well on the range roads summer and winter.. lots of Duratracs in the patch.. probably the most common up there.
