    • Front bumper which is sitting at the powder coater now
    • Full set of skids
    • Winch
    • Big pile of LED lights
    • New gears with front and rear lockers
    • Prinsu cabrack
    The pile keeps shrinking and growing as parts go in and on and new parts arrive. Now that most of the Tacoma parts are installed the pile is growing again with Land Cruiser parts.

    Stumbled across your post while looking for info about the Pioneer 8100. It's now been a handful of months since you got yours and I was curious how its holding up. You mentioned it being a bit of a let down, so I figured I'd ask to see if the bugs ever got ironed out with a firmware update.

    I ended up documenting all of the issues and when presented to them they offered to do a computer reset on the unit. I in turn offered to do a charge back with my card that I paid for it with. With that said, they then opted to replace it and the new unit works fine.

    I'll end up putting one into my Land Cruiser as well.

    Hey @G.T. sent off those parts a little bit ago. Have you heard anything from @RelentlessFab confirming that he got them? I lost the tracking that I had.

    Fastenal. I'll look for my paperwork later today. I think I know where it is. I'll also give them a call.

    Getting really stoked about Round-Up. Might have an additional rig with us too as my wife should be in her new 4Runner Trail Premium any day now and she has already indicated that she is interested in taking it down as well.



    A couple months ago I spoke with Rino at length about getting an Alu-Cab Ossewa made for a Tacoma. At the time, I was the only interested party and obviously that drives the end price up since I'd have to bear the brunt of the engineering for the new chassis too. Now that more and more are being turned on to it the folks at Alu-Cab are starting to give it some serious thought. Stay tuned though as I have something big to unveil in a couple of months - or less if my wishes come true - that will change truck camping for our family considerably.

    It's amazing how well @ChandlerDOOM can make such a dirty truck look. Started out the day with plans that fell through and ended up meeting up with him and taking a drive up to an awesome state park for these pictures. Thank you for sharing these, they look great.

    You have no idea how much fun I'm having with this thing. Get with Steve Jackson at Land Cruisers Direct and buy one for yourself. Steve has built his business by hunting for the best examples and then making certain to sort out any possible issues and then describing every little detail so that there are absolutely no surprises.

    That's a cool idea. The back panel of the Trailgater is ferrous so a roll like that with a few magnets would work perfectly. Keeping that picture for future ideas.

    Like I said to @inv3ctiv3, it's just heaps of fun. And these 70 series Land Cruisers are so damn solid, extremely well built and heavy duty trucks.

    Thanks fellas, I spoke to Brittony about it yesterday as she said that the carrier wasn't there yet. Looks like everyone was on the same frequency as I logged in and saw these posts.

    The Tacoma Habitat? or a Alu-Cab Hercules for the Land Cruiser?

    Soon friend, soon.

    So today was a semi-productive day. I had swiped the wheels and tires from the Tacoma for the Land Cruiser so I could have them on it for the Jamboree trip awhile back. I decided that I liked them on there so much that I ordered a second set of Rock Monster wheels and S/T Maxx 315's to replace the set I took off of the Tacoma. This wheel set has a working compliment of TPMS sensors in them so no more TPMS light flashing at me on the dash. I know it's not a big deal to some, but it annoys the hell out of me and now it's resolved. While we were working on building the wheels I got a chance to meet @markm0311 and see his very clean single cab. Actually looking forward to seeing his project completed as I think his plan will please allot of Tacoma owners as a solution for their trucks too.

    No Land Cruiser progress today. The 100° weather was just too much for me as I can't run and jump anymore like the old days.

    @G.T. it was a pleasure meeting you and Austin yesterday! Glad I finally got to see these cool toys you got up close and personal. Hopefully I can meet back up with you and Heath and Austin the next time I make it out there. :cheers:
