    Winter Gear - Must Haves and Recommendations?

    Milsurp Mod-3 sleeping bags will keep you warmer than just about anything else out there. They're a bit heavier and bulkier than some other options, but they are a darn good piece of kit. Buddy propane heaters are also great. The use the 1L propane bottles, or you can get an adapter to hook up...

    Dumbest thing you've done while working on your vehicle...

    Wasn't my current truck, but I was replacing the coil springs in my 67 Camaro several years ago... Going at it with a ball joint splitter while sitting cross-legged directly underneath the control arm. My knees were getting stiff, so I straightened my legs out, then took one more swing with the...

    Roof top tent vs ground tent

    I've seen an RTT set up that you could actually drive away from. Had jacking legs so you could set it up, lift if off, then go exploring with the tent free-standing. Can't imagine how heavy it must've been, but it's a cool concept!

    Tablets for navigation.

    Has anyone tried using the Verizon Ellipsis tablet for navigation? I have one that I don't use for anything, and figured I could re-purpose it to GPS Nav if possible, and save myself from buying another one. They run Android, so it's got a pretty standardized OS. It's 4G-LTE, WiFi, and...

    What tires do you like? (Merged Thread)

    Been very happy with my Goodyear Duratracs. They're pretty decent in everything (haven't tried deep mud, and don't plan to), but they are PHENOMENAL in snow and rain! I also got 45,000 miles of hard driving on my first set, and still had almost 1/4" of tread when I replaced them. If long-term...

    Well, it looks like we were both kind of right... From Wikipedia, "A sea stack, named Chief Kiawanda Rock (note different spelling than Cape Kiwanda) is located 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) southwest of the cape. It is one of three features along the Oregon Coast that are called "Haystack Rock,"[2] though...

    ColoradoPacific's 2014 Tacoma Build

    It IS heavy, but I stopped caring about weight a long time ago haha. Some Alcan leaf springs will make up for it in a few months anyway...

    ColoradoPacific's 2014 Tacoma Build

    We also got my new bed rack all welded up and installed. We went for a low-profile height, so that with an RRT will be roughly flush with my roof rack when installed. Also got it painted, but I didn't get a picture of that yet...

    ColoradoPacific's 2014 Tacoma Build

    Well I've been busy the last couple weeks! Have a new bumper in the works, of the high clearance variety. This required chopping the rear quarter panels.

    Flying Tacoma

    Well I got an alignment on Wednesday. They fixed a minor case of toe-in, but nothing too bad. But my steering wheel still isn't centered, and I still have that wheel slip indicator on my dash (no codes though, I already checked). Guess I'll be taking into the Stealership after my upcoming work...

    Flying Tacoma

    So I managed to get my 5,500# Tacoma airborne yesterday. Was not at all intentional. Heading down from a trail run with my local club, and I was admiring the view instead of watching the trail and my speed. Suddenly I was floating. Reports are that I was about 18 inches off the ground, but...
