Tacos in St. Louis area

2017 taco for sale off road, make me an offer. If you have a land cruiser i might consider a trade plus cash

 

I want a truck lift lol

 

How much cash you talking about adding to your trade?

 

Perfect for patrolling those mall parking lots. Going to see about brackets to get the bar mounted to the fairing to help with whistle, and see how it is then. So far, so good.

 

Nice. You might try mounting those brackets underneath that forwar crossbar to get the light bar to sit in the cutout. But I’m just going off the eye test, and have no experience with that rack. Maybe @G.T. or @ChandlerDOOM can chime in.

 

Nah I've got mine

 

Yeah, we tried a few different configurations, but nothing really brought it down to the cutout without being mounted on the fairing, but at the same time, I didn't really mess with bringing the fairing up off of the bottom position. Things to try!

 

Can’t recall if the Baja mounts went straight in or if we drilled holes to make it work.

 

Thats why you get a baja rack

 

Like from JC Whitney?

 

Baja Design 30” S8 bar mounted last night. There’s always going to be the argument of certain brands worth the money asked for their light bars. The output from this thing is amazing. @Baja Designs @SDHQ OFFROAD

 

Is that behind the grill? If so would you mind taking a pic of the mount or explain what you did. Thanks

 

Looking good sam

Food. What the hell are we doing? I don’t want to see a bunch of money wasted with us duplicating efforts and I know we want all of the prep to be easy so we can ensure that we are still making use of the trails as much as possible.

The camper trailer can easily support three pots/pans going simultaneously and we have running water. We can even have hot water if we get the diesel water heater fired. I’ve got pots, pans, strainers, and a wok - not a fancy trash can lid - to cook and prep in so if you wanted to thin down your cookware for the trip keep that in mind. Plates, bowls, and utensils should support eight so keep your favorite camp utensils with you.

Big meals are fun but to be honest, easy to prepare and eat meals are ideal simply using the logic that we spent a considerable amount of energy to get there and if you're like me, you’re going to want to get out and play as often as you can. Also think about some trail snacks for times when we don’t get back to camp for lunchtime.

 

The torque spec guide for 2nd gens that I’ve mentioned and shared before but with some new blood here it’s worth linking again.

For the suspension stuff, I’d say that the numbers are the same for the 3rd gens as well. The PDF is indexed so no having to scroll and scroll to get to the page you need.

And for @Tacomania

Wife got some shopping done last week, nothing crazy. I’ll marinate some chicken and prep it for grilling one of the nights. Don’t know what my brother has planned for his boys, but I’ll give him a call to get some feedback. Also my wife was telling me just to make sandwiches for lunch out on the trails, breakfast keep it simple eggs, breakfast sausage/bacon, tortillas possibly. Just ideas, so open to any other suggestions.

 

Cool trick for breakfast eggs if you like to scramble. Dig out an old drink mix bottle with a wire whisk ball. Crack your eggs in in and simply shake it up and then drop in the fridge or cooler and shake it again over the pan when ready to cook. Pour out what you need. Easy as, and make cleanup a bit easier.
