You should see if you can get that bad boy up to 50kmh on Barton street

 

Lol I did try Westbound Barton once...
The suspension on these cars is actually smoother than most people would think, when it is in street mode.
Plus the front end lifts up about 2-3" when you press a button.

Couple spots I could do 50, but holy crap 1" sidewall tires are not meant for that road.
I was sure I was going to be replacing tires after going down there. (even got out and checked, then apologized to the car before proceeding).
Won't be cruisin there again.

Never realized how bad that road can be,
driving around in the Tacoma it seemed smooth as silk. Just a little more tire noise than usual.
In the car it was like being the marble in a coffee can.

 

nope, Radiator stayed in place.

unbolt the fan shroud, lift up a bit (bottom is attached via a hook-like thing), unbolt the 4 nuts for the "Fluid coupling assembly" (fan clutch), lift both sort-of up
rotate the fan shroud (lift left side up first as there is a tab that bumps into the radiator hose by the cap at the top), slip the fan clutch assembly out between the shroud and the rad (see image 2, basically through that hole)

reverse that for re-installation.

 

was gonna order the fanclutch if it didn't arrive today from Toyota.

am considering going 100% overlander and getting jackery "SoLaR gEnErAtOr" either 1000 (for $1100) or 1500 (for $1500)

 

Looks good...I have been contemplating this as well. Cap has seen better days and with all the wheeling, window seals leak a bit

 

Looks good!


I keep thinking about taking mine off, I think it would look better.
I’d miss the covered storage but, a flush tool box and tonneau would get almost the same job done.

Just beat me to it

 

do it join us tonneau cover guys!




most of those caps carry nothing but sailboat fuel anyways

 

Speaking of parts....stock uppers are shot.

These should work.

 

> something other than SPCs/ Mevotech

 

If you wait a bit, my camburg will be off soon…

all parts are in for 37s…

 

This is fucking new!

 

He is all about those overland points…

 

Already ordered..thanks tho!
I want to get em in before the Michigan trip...the stockers are making some very interesting noise!

 

Explain red fuel jerrys then

 

Well he is just waiting for rotopax that he probably ordered on prime day…

 

Came across this sucker at work

 

actually it's old!

Borrowed it from a coworker. it's ok. not amazing, but sure is a nice quality of life thing.
truck is already wired for a 12V connection in the back, just need to pick a dual zone fridge that i want

it's for the MSR Whisperlite stove BeCaUsE mUlTi-FuEl

The mounts for the backrack are on their way

 

a Pro!

 

Dual battery is a bit cheaper but not as good for longer camps. Also not as swapable between vehicles.

 

It depends how much and what you do.
Battery + mount + BMS + solar+ wires + inverter can be a bit pricey. Also the new permanent weight
