GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

Rear end slid into a 4 foot hole (that I didn’t see) and the truck was literally a breeze away from rolling... never more scared in my life!!

Ended up getting about 8 people to stand on the front corner of the truck/drivers side slider and was actually able to drive it out. Got it back on all 4 wheels and checked everything out, luckily no damage at all. Awesome weekend for sure!

Few pics from the trip!

 

Did you go up the giant windmills while you were up there? Those things are crazy as hell. If you stand under one of the blades as it’s coming down...oh man, feels nuts!! Looking at that giant blade carve out of the fog above you and right towards your melon .. yeah I only did that once

 

But you did go with green and orange....almost just as bad. We'll just say it's for the FAM across the tracks!

Happy to help.

This makes me want another 4Runner in the worst way. I kind of figured you'd already have that dual battery tray installed...

 

I am going to Powder the tray to match the Calvary Blue to use as a test.
Been a bit lazy with the runner lately.

 

Can we go camping soon??? Got my RTT installed before work last night so when I got off today I of course had to full set it up and have my breakfast brewski.
Also April 13th did we decide most going to Atlanta Takeover at the race track or the overlanding event in SC?

Oh yeah and PS: I’ll post two videos later. One is a funny one of me trying to unload this beast by myself after @CowboyTaco helped me initially load it... and the second will be my wife’s reaction when she gets home from work and see this that I bought this thing and it’s blocking the garage.. (I did get approval just didn’t tell her I pulled the trigger)

 

Anyone remember how much the ROAM Vagabond XL cost?

 

I like that koozie son! Glad you guys are putting them to use. Represent!

 

Looking like $1799 plus ship
I would figure that any of these venders would do a 10% off for forum members. But I could be completely wrong on that assumption, just saying 10% helps with shipping.

 

I think I need a Land Cruiser first

 

Indeed you do. We all need one or two.
Been very tempted to do something completely crazy and sell my rigs to get a newer LC, and build the $hit out of it.
That’s probably in the cards a couple years from now. I just tow such much, that having a v8 is almost a necessity.

 

I have bought a lot thru that site.
Probably they are just getting old stock out. It’s a warehouse space issue kinda thing.

 

@CowboyTaco I think that is just the tent. Meaning you can swap it out if you already have the base/frame/ladder/etc for a Tepui Kukenam.

As in you're not getting what is pictured below.

 

I think that was just for the mesh canopy... not the actual tent

 

Indeed your correct:
“Like all of Tepui's Baja Series Tents, the patented Zipper Gimp allows you to quickly switch out the Kukenam's included canopy for this mesh canopy for hotter and more humid trips. Tepui included a rainfly just in case a light, calm, summer shower is in the forecast.”

Was about to say, for that price I am strapping one to my zero turn! Lol

 

Yeah...I deleted the post because I'm an idiot.I realized my mistake after hitting the "Post Reply" button.

You guys are quick since I deleted the post almost immediately.

 

Haha! I don't even want a RTT, but at that price I was about to buy one anyway lol!

 

Guysssssss sooo good news/bad news
Good news-no more vibrations for me
Bad news-one bolt for the carrier bearing is not wanting to tighten

So i was doing the CB Drop at about 1/2 inch (i have a 3in lift) than one bolt tightened perfectly fine but the other one i started to tighten it than it just slipped it does not want to come out either sooooo what do i do!?

 

Hit it with your purse...

I kid I kid. Back out the bolt as tough as it may be, find yourself the correctly sized tap and chase the threads and you should be good

 

I mean... But i dont want to mess up my Michael Kors.. Lmao

But alright ill try it today bro thanks!

 

Also, I know most vendors call it the wrong thing, but you are talking about the "Center Support Bearing." It is a common misconception that it is the carrier bearing (which does exist, but does not support the driveshaft).
