I’ve been wanting to build or buy a drawer system for my 3rd Gen long bed Tacoma since I purchased it, and now with the addition of my smart cap I really want to get the project moving. I really like the Alu Cab system but at roughly $4,000 it’s beyond my remaining budget. I don’t want to use...

I have a Chapin 1749 stainless industrial sprayer that I originally bought for a camp shower and doing dishes, however, I’m wondering, to simplify things, would it be safe to store drinking water in it as well? Obviously this is assuming that it’s never had any chemical stored in it. This...

I'm in the very early stages of planning a 4x4 camper. I'm a firefighter so I make good money but not $500K a year money. I have a budget more around $100,000. I work for a large department and we have several brush trucks based on the 4x4 international 4200 (VT365) and international 4x4...

I'm thinking about using King Starboard as an alternative material to plywood for the bed drawer/sleeping platform in my second gen Tacoma. Is there any compelling reason not to use this material? I like that it's more weather resistant than wood, although I believe it is a little heavier and...

I have a 2nd gen tacoma and was wondering if anybody could offer any insight on mounting a water tank where the spare tire is? Looking up there it looks like there is a ton of room and I'm thinking I may be able to fit the pump in the large storage space by the tailgate on the drivers side of...

I'm really wanting to get back to a simpler vehicle. What can I expect to pay for a fully restored or mostly restored 60? I've always wanted a land cruiser and have always liked both the 40 and the 60 but I think a 60 would be most practical for me with its bigger size and fuel injection. Truck...

My truck is used as a work truck and dd most of the time, and one of the things I'm trying to accomplish with my build is to be able to take almost everything back out after a trip. I would like a dual battery setup to run my fridge, some small lights, a 12v water pump and maybe charge some...

My factory dunflops are finally done. I'm pretty much set on going with 275/70/17 BF Goodrich KO2s on my stock TRD Sport wheels using 1.5 in All Pro spacers. How much lift do I need to clear these tires? I'm ordering Bilstein 5100's all around and also getting the wheelers 1.5in progressive AAL...

Does anyone know anything about this tire, like when it's going to be out and if they're going to offer it in more sizes in the near future? it's time for tires on my truck and I like the look of these, plus being General Tire they'll probably be a good product at a good price...

I'm looking for some help regarding pricing and weather or not this is a good idea. I'm looking to reduce my overall cost of ownership, I currently have a 2012 Tacoma access cab 4x4 six speed that I'm tired of paying $457 a month for. I bought it new and I now have plenty of payments behind me...

I'm in the planning stages of building my bed drawer system for my 2012 Toyota Tacoma that is also going to incorporate a sleeping platform and on-board water. My goal with this build is to keep things as simple as possible so that I can quickly return the truck back to daily driver status when...

After a lot of planning and research over the past two years and with the coming of my tax return I've decided it's time to quit talking, start building and start exploring. My goal is to complete this project over the next year and a half going on small trips here and there with the first big...

With the coming of my tax return I will begin turning my 2012 access cab TRD Sport into an expedition vehicle. I'm in need of tires and brakes so I figure this will be a good place to start. I'll be using an OME lift kit, method NV wheels, Goodyear Wrangler MTR 285/75/16 tires and EBC brakes and...

Shortly after buying my 2012 Extra cab 6spd I was bitten by the overland bug and I've been lurking for quite some time here since. This sight has been invaluable in helping me plan my truck. I'm in the final stages of planning before I begin buying parts. One of the things I'm having a lot of...
