What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

For the record @bartmaster posted a picture of it chained up 1st

 

Yeah it's just funny that in the day or two that he was using the chains, he got spotted by a vendor that used it to promote their product lol

I have a similar setup to Tyler's, but I use a steel cable instead of chains. Goes around the tent, thru the bed rack and thru my hi-lift and spare tire. Only takes a couple minutes to undo it when I'm going out on a camping trip and I leave the cable at home.

One day when I have a place with a garage I'll keep the tent stored off the truck, but don't have anywhere to keep it currently. And it's a bitch to remove/install without a system in place

 

Yeah but its not everyday that Vagabond clowns your RTT setup and uses it as an advertisement

 

Personally, I think the chain from HD might be a just a bit overkill. If I'm not mistaken, his sits higher than yours as well, heavier also? Bit more difficult to walk off with his I imagine.

Insurance factor is a question mark. Good to confirm with carrier if exterior gear/non-factory equipment is covered. With AAA, they wouldn't cover my cap or rack unless I paid additional. Ameriprise said it was covered. Need to check with my current carrier since I switched to Liberty Mutual. Even if there is a hit to the premium to cover it, I would - especially with all the coin sunk into gear these days.

 

Yup. I added the ammo can

 

Honestly, we didn’t mean to make fun of that setup at all. The comment at the bottom was added by Ricky. We just re-posted the story. I thought it was funny, but had no negative intentions posting it.
We definitely don’t compare our campers to RTT’s, or make fun of people to promote our business. There are pros and cons to every setup. And that’s a nice setup!

Sorry @BartMaster1234 !

 

Hey guys, we weren’t clowning anyone. We got tagged on a story and shared it on our feed. Sorry man, it wasn’t meant to be an ad or anything.

 

Honestly I just thought it was funny didn't think you guys were doing it to be mean or anything.

 

Philz beat me to it!

 

Good news is @BartMaster1234 is a cool guy, with some of the thickest skin known to man.

 

And chains.











I kid! I kid!

 

We’re not typically in this thread, because of plastic bed issues, but I’ll just leave this here...

Got my Ac recharged woohoo

Cleans up nice and the rain keeps it shiney

 

Put a new fuel filter on the truck today. Went with OEM.

 

Agree - how ironic he of all people is spotted and tagged... after the "chain incident"

 

i am going to attempt to do my fuel filter this weekend with some TW 'help' on standby in St.Louis because I may also have to replace front fuel tube due to breakage
it has not been changed since your truck was like totally brand new ... was told its a lifetime part and was refused to be changed upon request many times

the last time I personally changed a fuel filter it looked like this with rubber hoses attached! and a simple reach over in the top engine compartment

 

you know i am old as shit and slow at times

 

Give the fitting connections a dose of 50/50 ATF and acetone and let soak for a couple of days. Make sure to use line wrenches, not open ends. Good luck! Oh, and be prepared to get a spray of gas when they break free.
