The Lair

Funny this talk of dropping the taco for a 4Runner, and I'm throwing the idea around to drop my daily driver car for a stock Tacoma.

The 4Runner interior space is the biggest advantage of an SUV, room in the back for the pup, back seat for the 3yo. But constantly breaking camp to explore is a huge pain. I would say trailer is the best option to drop at base camp and come back for it to hit harder trails, or keep the trailer for mild multi-day trips.

 

The nurse let you up for some air?

 

Why not get a cap for the taco, so you can stack higher inside, and get a trailer too. Then, depending on the trip, you can set rtt on top of taco or top of trailer, and you still have huge amount of storage in the bed, freeing up space inside for fam and doggies

 

Makes sense or get some good doggy crates and put them in the cap.

 

Could go full expo, camp with cage over it for rtt so weight is not on cap. Or alu cap like @inesshell has for winter. (Looks good imo) and weight nothing beside fiberglass

 

I love the cap with the Windoors! But shit they can me pricey and Heavy! I’m so fat as it is trying to keep it light

 

Those Alucabs are dolla dolla bills y’all

 

Hence why I've slimmed mine down!

 

You could go PECOR from that Aussie company.

 

Flip Pac!!!!

 

Actually probably the best bet but lbs

 

4runners were nice. Than they stopped putting a mt in them.

 

windoors are the shit! Would love some on my cap

yeah alucab are out of budget, but I was talking more contractor style cap, with side windoors. Those are light and some with integrated roof racks. Iirc @fatfurious2 scored one for cheap back in the days.

 

I did. Got it for around 200 if I remember correctly

 

@Mobtown Offroad what are the dimensions on your trailer? That thing is sweet.

 

Not sure if anyone else is following this story:

 

Was hoping the guy got a new truck out of the whole thing! Classy move by Toyota!
