    2017 Tacoma TRD crew cab Long Bed Build Socal

    That's literally exactly what I will be doing. Which model did you get for yours?

    2017 Tacoma TRD crew cab Long Bed Build Socal

    What do you think of the Wilco Tire Swingout so far? I've been considering it as a cheap way to make up for the fact that I should've bought my Pelfreybilt with one.

    Strangest Camping Encounters

    Just a week ago in Pisgah National Forest at a dispersed campsite on a very out of the way dead end forest road I setup my camp. It was a pretty cold night, got down to a low of about 12 in Asheville so it was quite a bit colder there. The road literally dead ended into a valley with mountain on...

    What keeps you from overlanding more?

    Where I live. I'm smack dab in the middle of Indiana and my idea of overlanding isn't available within 4 hours drive. There's no "public" land here that allows vehicles and dispersed camping, hell we barely have any hiking trails. If I lived somewhere I could get away on shorter trips, I would...

    X-Bull Recovery Tracks...another inexpensive alternative

    Yes, especially if you have the mounting system for the 1100s. I'm trying to figure out a secure way to mount mine on my roof rack. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    2015 Tacoma Build ideas

    I'm not sure what you consider light, but tires before the rest. Skid plates as your Taco has none stock (that's a splash guard, no protection really), and recovery gear next. Honestly one of the most needed items early in my overlanding experience was an awning. Having shade or rain protection...

    Opinions on weight vs protection on Aluminum / Steel skid plates

    Aluminum skids just fine over rocks. Arkansas a month ago I took several hard hits and there aren't even dents in the aluminum skid plates I got from Pelferybilt. I lost some bed liner coating them but that's easily replaced. Aluminum may be softer but you'd have to hit it very hard to do...

    TRED 1100 Mounting Kit??

    Does anyone have this mounting kit and have you ever tried to mount the X Bull 10T recovery tracks to it? I'm looking for a mounting solution for my Prinsu roof rack that's a little more secure than bolts and wing nuts. If anyone has this mount, could you measure from pin to pin on an individual...

    2017 Tacoma TRD crew cab Long Bed Build Socal

    Any chance I could get a link to which gas struts you used? I've been debating a Renogy pv panel or a flexible to go on my roof rack and that looks pretty slick and convenient. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    BOB aka Bug Out Bag, Who Carries One ?

    GHB for my commute and anything within probably 75 miles on foot if needed. I use mine regularly as my hiking pack, so I'm constantly replenishing items I'm using from it. It's easy to pack a bunch of crap and have a theory, making a plan and being capable of executing it through practice and...

    X-Bull Recovery Tracks...another inexpensive alternative

    I'm all for going quality the first time around, but Maxtrax are not worth what they're charging. I used my X-Bull's last weekend for the first time while being stuck, unfortunately had to spin a bit to get onto the board (hard packed dirt/grass) and they held up perfectly. Granted this is one...
