    Toyo Open Country CT ???

    While researching tires, I came across the Toyo Open Country CT. This tire appears to be primarily available in Canada, although it seems 1010 Tires will deliver to US addresses. The tire looks like a good traditional styled all-weather traction radial, something that seems to have disappeared...

    2nd Gen Taco DC vs 4th Gen 4Runner - rear seat room?

    Hey all, I have a 2009 Taco DC, and my wife drives a BMW 328xi wagon. I haven't posted around here much recently because I've been a little busy. We had our first kind a little over a year ago, and she gets most of my time. Anyway, enough of the background - here's the reason for the post...

    Looking for a trailer build...

    A couple of years ago, there was a thread here where someone built a hard-sided popup camping trailer from scratch. I recall the tow vehicle was a Dodge Ram (or was it a Ford???) with a custom flatbed. I've searched and searched but can't find the thread. Does anyone recall this? Can you...

    AAL for 2nd Gen Tacoma?

    My 2009 Tacoma DC has the TSB rear springs, but they're still pretty soft for me. When I load up the bed with my band's gear, I bottom out on the highway pretty regularly. Would a full-length add-a-leaf and some firmer shocks help to firm up the ride enough to take care of this? I'd say the...

    OME vs Dakar springs?

    I've noticed quite a few complaints lately regarding Dakar leaf springs. My memory may be skewed, but I don't recall as much fuss with the old standard OME springs. (I'm sure those who've sold OME since before the switch would have a better recollection of issues with the old product.) I know...

    New Cooper Discoverer ST tires, problem already?

    New Cooper Discoverer ST tires -- warranty issue or no? Hey everyone, I bought some new Discoverer STs for my 09 Tacoma to use through the winter 11 days ago. I have put about a thousand miles on the tires. This morning while driving to work, I heard a thunk and felt something weird. After...

    Squeal like a pig boy...

    So my '09 Taco has 6600 miles and sounds like it's trapped in a scene out of Deliverance. The rear suspension (I suspect the springs/bushings since they were replaced for the TSB 4-leafs under warranty about 3k miles ago) squeaks horribly. The squeak occurs if I'm climbing in or out of the...

    Denver CL: 1980 K5 Blazer w/FWC

    1980 K5 Blazer with FWC Blazer model camper This truck is not mine, and I'm not affiliated with the seller in any way. I went and took a look at the truck today for a friend. The Blazer itself is pretty rough; personally I'd junk it and put the FWC on a different Blazer. The Camper is all in...

    OME 883 on a Taco DC?

    I'm getting the rear leaf packs on my 09 Tacoma DC replaced courtesy of the TSB. :wings: The stock 3 leaf packs were just too soft for my needs. Herein lies the challenge. I was perfectly happy with the stock stance; it's my understanding that the TSB springs settle out to about .75" higher...

    My 09 Tacoma build

    Hello everyone, I'm a long time lurker on the site, and have finally joined. I've read a bunch of great stories and build threads on here but never had a build or any adventures worth contributing. In the past, I've owned an FJ60, Jeep XJ (my least favorite) and most recently, a Range Rover...
