I suppose you’re right. Never thought of it like that. So when the brief moment of gravity fails us, do we just become landers. like we’re over it? No, we continue to attempt to defy gravity, whatever the cost may be.

 

I know things must move a little slow up there but dam. cutting leaf spring bolts
COME HOME Shveet, its the first sign of overlanditus. in the 70 a bunch of landrover guys contracted it and went to cross the Darian gap. Some other guys got it and tried to float trucks on rafts across rivers. B4 you decide to drive to Russia give someone hear a call... were hear for you buddy

 

now come to think of it...I remember loosen the nuts for the alignment and yes there too long. doh! another thing to put on the list.

 

Why build a raft? just toss a sail ontop and off you go?

 

but i dont wanna...

@honkonbobo is out and about! He is clearly healthy!

 

I'm on 37's
our fearless leader wants 40's
other guys are wanting to get 35's
tent cots are looking good...... ahhhhhhhh.
look what's happening after you left....
and most disturbing crv's are wheeling with the tacoma's now.
and they don't carry extra gas,tools or parts ahhhhhhhhh.

just kidding keep enjoying up there..

 

since everyone is going to 35+s, i'll stay here with 33s.... actually my 33s are almost 30s again from how worn down the tires are...

i gotta get new rubber soon and I can't get coopers anymore... Falcons it is!


but yes, Tent cots are great, wait till you get a bivy cot.
Ultralights even!
Or worse, start doing tarp-only camping
remember = lightness is speed!


could be cheaper for you guys to come up here, lots of work in government jobs.

Heck even teaching jobs are open... Dawson city is short 10 teachers @tacoma16

 

Gotta be warmer than here. Take that any day.

 

Do you have enough lightbars to deal with the months of total darkness in the winter?

Contact bestop. They should be able to tell you what dimensions will/won't fit

 

Yup. Lighting bars before lockers but only after solar panels or something like that


Did a bunch of rewiring and upsized cables.
Added new lines and solidified the 12v cig plug for the rear for if i get an ARB fridge...

2x 8 gauge (power for lightbar, negative return)
1x 10 gauge (power for 12v cig plug)
4x 14 guage (12v led strip for bed lighting, trail lights, 2x accessories that are currently empty.)

Found some random cables i had no idea where they went to (they were the old harness for the hidden lower Grille bar that @Saturnine now runs)

Now i need to make an enclosure for it all since it gets dusty

 

See what I mean about build threads. I have a + and - wire in the bed of the truck and was wondering what to do with it now that the compressor is gone. da. trailer terminal box. thanks for posting this

 

What's this "trailer" you guys talk about?

 

This the u bolt season. New (appropriate length) u bolts and 4 degree shims. Better than stock!!



A small tool sacrafice in the process.

 

Look at my signature, i advertise my build thread like a shamelesswhore!

 

Oh since you're here....

I did heavy modification to your tailgate panel.

It was destroying my bed

 

Pics?

Why would you do this?

 

^Because race truck. 25-lb weight savings and was "free". Gotta keep it at 4800 lbs with full armor and 35s Anyway it's history. The sawzall action happened in 2021 before I installed the bumper: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ontario-bs-thread.249665/page-1948#post-25499713

The metal-cutting blade from this Milfuckee set I bought a while back. I later cut off the tailpipe with the same blade.
