The overhead rack wasn't something I was impressed by either but it's an option. You could easily do totes in the bed and use a load bar to keep them situated across the front of your bed so they didn't interfere with your compressor in the side bins. There's a lot of random after market support...
One thing about Toyota's is there is very few true performance chips out there. Its awesome that you are regaining some of your MPGs back, but some of that could be your driving changing a little adjusting to your rig after the lift and tires. I know for the Tacomas it took a long time for...
I have a Biolite Campstove2 that I picked up pretty cheap and it has proven to be a nice little addition for cooking and to generate heat. I know Biolite makes a Firepit. If its anything like my Campstove2 then it would be awesome. They are super efficient leaving very little ash/coals and...
Beings that you have a Sequoia I am almost willing to bet some different Tundra undercover/hidden winch mounts would work for you. I think that would be a much better method than to run the receiver mount. Got to remember your winch would be limited by not only it's ability or your mounting...
I have a set of Ironman leafs on my truck and have not had any issues with them. My truck gets used not only for overlanding but also for truck work with a decent amount of weight in it regularly. Sounds like their bushings might not be the greatest from both of your complaints.
If you get on TacomaWorld there is a guy who makes a molle panel for behind the rear seats where the plastic bin thing is. There is also a company who makes an overhead molle rack for in the backseat as well.
In my Taco I utilize the under rear seat for recovery items(chain, tow strap...
I would start out by strategically parking where both tents are facing each other and as close as possible. If that is not an option you could easily run twine and bells like mentioned. Something that can easily be used as a weapon that most people don't think about is a flashlight. If you...
I have a 1st gen Crazy Beaver shovel that I carry around with me. It has held up great being used on a regular basis and being out in the elements. They are a little expensive and do not look the most appealing to the general public, but they sure can dig and be useful for other things with...
I removed my ASB on my Tacoma and haven't looked back. I did notice the body roll was a little more around of camber curves at higher speeds (55+), but the overall ride became so much nicer. I definitely would not go back to having them on. I don't drive overly spirited so I'm not too...
I have 2 of these and absolutely love them.

Its nice to have a good solid rocker that's comfortable. They fold up flat...
I have an Jet Tent Maverick made by OzTent. It pretty awesome! Sets up about as fast as an RTT, has plenty of space to have a queen sized air mattress with a pelican case of clothes and 3 dogs and still have room. You can stand up in it as well. Also has an attached awning. It was my...
I somehow missed this notification. It's called overland bound - midwest. There's also a thread at the top of the midwest thread on the facebook group as well.
I have no experience with a fridge. I go old school and use high-tech coolers (Pelicans).
As far as distance of home I think that really depends on what you want to get out of it and how much you can really devote to it. I think far too often people are dead set on going to far away places and miss so much that's right in their backyard or close to home. Obviously not everyone can do...
I find the easiest way to get out and do things is to figure out where you want to go. Research it and see if there is a local event that interests you or a phenomenon that will occur at a given time that intrigues you. Then set your travel for that date. I find I am much more apt to make...
As much as 1 sounds cool I would stay away from that option. Although a LS motor has parts abundantly, it is only as good as the swap is. Option 2 provides you with the most space since you will be taking a trailer. I would probably lean more towards number 2, however 5 people in a JKU does...
It will probably be very hard to find a used one, especially in the US. OzTent does not seem to have a major following in the US since everyone likes the RTT. If I was you talk to different dealers that are local to you or get ahold of OzTent. I picked up a Jet Tent Maverick for almost half...
What do you need to or want to know buddy? There is a Facebook page as well for the Midwest region. If you can't find it I can try and add you to it as well.
