    Nice! Are they Marlin or trail gear?

    I’m really interested to see how the marlin ones do.

    It’s a trial and error method.

    The Drifter makes it easy to try and and try again...

    If you plan on towing the taco with it. It will work but not ideal.
    I towed mine twice only in town and was satisfied with the handling.
    It will work in a pinch. It tows the boat like dream. Boat is only 4000lbs.
    Taco on a flat bed was to be close to 7 or 8k lbs. Suspension was sagging.

    I've been looking around, but failing... Anyone with a 2.5 gen fit the ARB switches below the HVAC controls?

    These switches:

    Someone makes a panel for the cubby below that spot. No way they will fit there cleanly. Judging by pic

    No, just a bumper-pull travel trailer for cross-country road trips.
    I've kinda made my Tacoma not very tow-worthy, and the brakes wouldn't be too happy either.

    Yeah, but I actually use that cubby... I've got a couple days to make my decision on where the switches will go, or I could temporarily shove then in the coin tray (loose).

    lol...you scared me for a minute. First thing I did when I got home was to rip that warn box open to make sure solenoid can be relocated and searched their website for solenoid relocation kit lol...I am still interested, but @otis24 still has the first dibs. So, I will wait for him.

    I had an older cheaper version and I loved it. Melted it though and it stopped working.

    New ones might be more robust.

    I’m in for another I think. Although I’ve been using a French press.

    You can upgrade the brakes and re_gear and it will do fine for a small load like 4k or less.
    Tundra will be much better for that. But I would look at other options if it was me.
    I dont think about mpgs, I'm more concerned with others things. The 5.7 is powerful. But lots of issues with 2nd gen. 3rd maybe better but still issues. Now the Cummins diesel. I know I know dodge. Man it is impressive for a full size. They all have issues though. All full size trucks . Used is a risky slope. I would suggest buying from a reputable place and some kinda warranty.

    My dad has a Coleman tent. It's nice, but I'm just doing a lot of reading at the moment trying to figure out what is good for my useage. Alps Mountaineering makes one I really like, but again, just reading for the most part right now.

    It flushes.
    Question is were dose a porta potty flush to?
    That small it just goes 2" over. Still going to smell like shit in a bucket. Just a fancy bucket.
    Kinda like a diaper genie.
    If you ever tried one of those you quickly find out it's just a fancy trash can. Nothing magical
