    How's it going. New to tacoma world thought I'd show you my truck. It's a 2004 non prerunner 4x4 with a 5 speed. I have firestone airbag helper springs and a compressor build in for towing purposes. The solar on the roof of the truck is 3 100 watt panels and runs the fridge and compressor. As well as supplying me with power for lights and other things while camping. Let me know what you guys think. Bob.

    Interesting . . . he certainly did it 'his way' :cool:, rather than exactly what everyone else did.

    I don't like the CB position, awkward, I'd move that.

    Is that the air-pump and tank under the frame?

    compressor head and pipe location and cb location would get to me. I like the solar idea.

    The air tank and compressor are located under the truck mounted to the frame the air tank is 4 inch schedule 40 pipe the volume of the take is roughly 2 gallons but with the airbags I can inflate all 3 and increase my volume. Great for an air mattress or filling tires. The cb is in the way but but everything that I have done to this truck has been done in a way where I haven't drilled any holes into the plastics or cut anything. Everything has been fabricated to be bolt on. Thanks for the reply.

    The first picture is of the circuit breakers under the hood for the compressor and all the power going to the camper shell for the fridge and lights. The second is 2 12volt outlets I added to the back and if you look colsly in the second picture there is a black switch that turns on the lights at night you can see the lights in the third picture

    I like the solar panels. I will be thinking about that for a while.
