COVID hit him pretty hard. He posted on his Instagram that he's finally able to start production again.

I've got two sets of these and they are amazing. 100% made in the USA and KC stands behind them. I wouldn't consider them a Maxtrax clone. The materials are proprietary to ActionTrax (If I remember right, I think he was working with DuPont on the materials) and crazy durable.

I don't think it will fit that model, but Caliraised makes a nice mount for the ARB. Toyota Tacoma Bedside Compressor Mount

I was curious how hot it got in the bed of my truck in the summer so I put an indoor/outdoor thermometer in it. Even covered with a topper (shell), it was 110 to 130 degrees, with the windows open. If I have to keep everything open to manage the heat, then there's no point in having a shell on...

There's no right or wrong answer here. It's not about should you modify or not. The OP asked about the realities of overlanding in a stock vehicle. Everyone knows you can go more places in a heavily modified vehicle. I don't think anyone is arguing that. As far as maintenance, I'm speaking from...

Thank you.

If it gets damaged, you are pretty much stuck. Some have had issues with the air suspension (the vocal minority) and is something I've been concerned with. But so far I haven't had any issues. I do carry an extra fuse just in case I pop one.

That truck looks great. It almost makes me want a black truck again.

So glad I found this thread. Not vegan, but vegetarian but happy to see there is more than just me and the wife on the trails eating vegetables. LoL.

So when I hear the word "trails" I think off-road parks, since everything else is a designated road. If it's not a designated road, you're probably on private property. Hell, you may even be on private property on a designated road (but that may be a Kansas thing).

Not too long, I got it for the Tacoma. The ARB went with the Jeep when I sold it. Another benefit of not hard mounting it to the vehicle. My other concern with storing the hose with the compressor was the heat. Typically when I'm done using it, everything gets packed up right away. I didn't want...

Nice. I used an ammo box. My Viair fit in there perfectly. I have one box for the hose and one for the compressor.

Normally I say topper, but since you are wanting a RTT, I'd go Leitner. Weight is the enemy. What kind of armor are you running and why? Are you rock crawling?

Looking at it now. I guess someone also cantacted Dan about it as well.

On tarmac, I pretty much listen to everything except any version of metal and polka. Off-road, the music is usually off.

That's pretty much what I do. Easy set up and tear down. Almost always level, up off the ground and it at least gives the sensation of being a little more secure. Plus it's great for stealth camping.

Anymore I prefer a stock vehicle. Modifying as little as possible, keeping it reliable and easier to maintain. After decades of making modifications, only to have to modify something else to accommodate the previous mod. Sinking a ton of money into vehicles when I could have spent that money...

Welcome from Lawrence. I usually tell people to start with stock and go from there; figure it out as you go while you learn the capabilities of your vehicle. Anyone can wheel with all of the goodies that come on modern vehicles, but what happens when those goodies get taken away? But on to your...

You'll be happy with that setup. Those DiamondBack covers are really nice and well built. Those are the only ones that I would consider to be truly secure. Plus they have the added benefit of being able to haul a heavier load on top of the cover.
