Yeah man. Full size trucks (what we call them here) have gotten very expensive. They have also gotten very large too! Too large/heavy for where I like to travel and how I like to drive. Thankfully we have "mid-size" trucks like my Canyon, Tacomas (Hilux), Ranger and Frontier (Navara). Looking...

For sure! I watch pretty much all the popular Ozzie YouTube off-road channels. Trays and canopies are pretty much the standard.

Depending on where you plan on exploring traction is usually the biggest hurdle with 2wd. Great tires and a rear locker will help immensely. In my area there are usually plenty of trees to winch off of so knowing what I know now I will always have a winch on my rigs. That being said, I like to...

That's a good looking ute. :)

People don't expect much from trucks so it's always a blast just going out and following Jeeps. :)

You know if I could afford one that I'd take it off-road. :smilingimp:

Less power and more range or simple power settings would be great. Do it on a capable platform that doesn't require much more than larger tires and it should sell. Assuming the pricing isn't in Rivian territory. $100k off road vehicles are kinda dumb IMO but....

I'm going to do the same thing to my Canyon.

IMO the biggest issue with lifting an IFS truck using spacers or coilovers only is the reduction in suspension droop (down travel). Everyone wants a 3" lift but most don't consider what that does to suspension travel. There is no free lunch here. If you have 6" of suspension travel available...

If you do it right with 4+ layers it will last a couple years or more depending on sun exposure.

You can hook them up to run off your cargo light switch. Does your truck have bed lights as an oem option? Mine does so the harness was already there despite not having the option on my truck. That's how I set mine up. I used cheap LED bedlight strips then later added some pods.

I should probably get my truck wrapped like a tortoise shell. :sunglasses:

You sure you want to wheel with me? LOL TJ: Dude! Put your phone away and help! Me: But, The Gram.....

Yup. Definitely a soil your shorts moment. Couldn't risk him getting out of the rig or letting off the brake. With only 1 winch hooked up he slid even further towards the edge. It was one of those situations where you can feel panic welling up but you jump into action instead. Gotta take photos...

Good to know!

Awesome! Now cut those U bolts! Haha

You'll need about 2" of lift and a cab mount chop (CMC) plus a little trimming of the inner fender well plastic as nedded. You may be about to avoid a CMC with enough caster added to you alignment but generally speaking most people that take their Tacomas offroad end up doing it. Assuming you do...

More winch practice. :)

ADD is making bumpers. I'd check out Stage 3 Motorsports. They do a lot of Ford stuff so they'll likely carry stuff for the Ranger as quickly as parts are created. https://www.stage3motorsports.com/2019-Ranger-2-3L-EcoBoost-Bumpers-Racks.html
