So we have been looking at a few options and me and the wife are sort of dead locked. She wants a frontier we found a pro-4x in our range and I want an fx4 or titan 4x. My feeling is that with 4 the frontier is just going to be too tight in the cab. Leading to seat kicking, pushing, and shoving...

White takes paint well..... Yeah I live on an island so I have to drive on the highway to get nowhere let alone somewhere lol. My mind is set on a cap over one of those frames; most of what I see comes with a tonnu cover at the least. Or you can try to make one from foam and fiberglass if you...

I think it will be a while before I can swing for a cap, unless I luck into somehing with one on it, so I think I will put a lock box on the back in the mean time for securing gear and the rest of the bed can be for things that are tied down.

To quote my cousin, "It will keep the honest people out."

Nooo... Thats what the Bikes are for. Honestly off road capability to me is down the logging road, get a tree or 2 back the logging road. It is hard to describe because everyone has a different idea as to what "off road" means, to me it simply means no pavement, possibility of ruts and mud/snow...

I agree about the rust, which leads to me wondering why West coasts vehicles are generally cheaper than East coast vehicles of similar condition. Is it the simple fact that there are more to pick from becuase they don't salt? As for size.... eh... I can agree when it comes to open spaces and...

I like the Avalanche the best out of the GMT800/900 platforms. I have my eye on a FX4 f150 that comes with some good stuff worth about $1000-$1200, but they want a bit more than I think I can swing for it. VMRCanada suggests $12650 whole sale and $15125 Retail. AutoTrader and CarFax suggestes...

I like the Yukhoebans but it always seems that I can gut the a Silverarra for about 1k or a little more less with all things eaqual; and the trucks seem to have a more "bare bones" options which puts their price even lower. Avalanches for some reason are insanely priced; I do like them but...

So what is the best thing to use for a canoe/kayak? I don't like the looks of those rails.

If you can hold on it can be cheap fun.

I think the SquishBang was referring to Kayaks/Canoes on fiberglass truck caps with racks catching the wind producing a rocking force being transmitted into the racks into the fiberglass cab causing cracking and eventual failure.

Good to know, I have a kayak in works and plan on building a canoe shortly after.

I may have amazed a few people in much the same way. Our last camping trip though when I closed the trunk it was 3 inches taller on one side than the other. I had to leave behind a big blue water jug at my parents on the return trip.

I am only 172cm tall maybe, probably 90kg so I am more concerned about fitting my width over my height... We are 4 people, 2 kids and maybe a dog once we get the vehicle sorted. As long as the cab can seat 5 and has back seat pockets for tablets it should be plenty roomy for trips. What we have...

Yeah I only seen 1 4runner in my price range and it was an 09 with 160k I think. Not bad but considering for the same price there were a number of american trucks for the same money. Depending on the trims a little newer, or around the same age with a little less use. Lots of Xterra's and...

Could be a good option if you buy a used Fiberglass one and want to reinformce it for a top rack/roof rack. I also seen some videosof people making a cap out of plywood or foam coated in fiberglass and marine epoxy (beacause marine epoxy doesn't get hot enough to melt the foam). If you got the...

I suspect the price of the cap is less than the extra paid for a comparable suv.

I bet they are pricy though; something to consider, should Google a few to see what I am in for.

I didn't think those truck caps could hold much in weight.

Looking like not too many reasons to buy a SUV. I am keeping my car if I find the truck too much to run. I don't think I will though, I only have a 4km commute. I think I am fairly justified in getting a truck.
