Orange County CAF's: up to no good

My other car is a 4 door but i think im getting rid of it and getting a 4runner in a couple years to match the tacoma

 

It's an actual mid travel truck that can hit jumps almost as big as my truck. The suspension was actually designed for travel unlike everyone else bolting in some shocks. Also the different levels of 4x4 is sweet. Rear wheel drive where the computer can send power to the front to help hold your line. Sure can hit whoops faster than mine because it is heavier and more stable. I give it to Ford making a pretty darn good production prerunner that someone with a F150 can't copy. Anyone here can make a trd pro with a little $$ by just bolting stuff to the truck.

 

Still wouldn’t buy one for that price tag.. id rather build a dedicated desert rig

 

Driving up to bishop. The fucking wind blew my goddamn soft topper off. I got lucky and it was less than a quarter mile back down the road. The rails are pretty bent but I might be able to bend them back. I was about to be real pissed if I lost that thing.

 

Drive safe buddy

 

Me in my late 40s would buy one instead of a sports car. It be for the guy that doesn't want to mod a truck up. All of us here have the mod bug. So wouldn't be the truck for us.

Oh shit good save. Way to make it stronger for wind?

 

Shit. I always wondered how mine would do in high winds.

 

Thanks bud. Made it up safe after that little mishap. Just glad I was able to recover it.

Maybe more clamps? I dunno. Winds were crazy.

Not. Well.

 

Ya I wasn't about to let an essentially new topper just go without looking for it haha.

 

Hell my dad had a first gen now got the new one and the new one I want to mod
I love driving that thing 100% more than the Tacoma...that twin turbo v6 is impressive.
It's our "service, small parts pick up truck" lol

I want to take it out one of these days to Barstow or somewhere to see what it can do.

 

Could you imagine that black topper just wrapping it's self around the car behind you at night. That could have been bad.

 

There is a raptor club here in so cal. The take from SB or to barstow. They show you how to use you truck . Its a 3 day trip across the mouintians. 350$ i beileve

 

Ya I honestly couldn't believe how fast I found it and it was in one piece. Like I said only the rails are fucked up.

Not the best picture but maybe you can see it

 

More clamps are key.

 

At least it didn't happen to you alone in the rain, that sucked!
Word of advice bolt it down. After that o have 3 on each side and it doesn't budge

 

All about bolting it down

 

I have 3 clamps (9 total) on each side including a aluminum rod that runs the length of the front. The velcro sucks.

 

Y'all just need a bed rack that goes over the softtop

 

Can you fold up yours with the rack on?
