    I think they don't work on the app, but they do everywhere else.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    My nephew and I went on a group ride this weekend organized by Earthbound Overland and had a blast! Never done one before. I was not sure about all those vehicles, but we broke into groups, and it was super laid back and fun. We were out like 5 or 6 hours, and camped when we got back. I'll be...

    World's First Flat Pack Vehicle is Made for Off Road - OX

    Yeah I don't think it would be practical here on the interstate with guys going 80 all around. I kinda like being in my fortress of airbags for that situation. :grin: But yeah it would be a super cool vehicle for off road exploring. Did you see that it has a 40 gallon fuel tank? :openmouth:

    World's First Flat Pack Vehicle is Made for Off Road - OX

    Did you guys see this? It's the Ox. The famous formula 1 designer Gordon Murray designed it. It's the world's first flat-pack vehicle that is designed specifically for use in developing countries that typically have bad (or nonexistent) roads. It's FWD and powered by a Ford 2.2l diesel (100hp...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I installed OME 885 coils on the blue taco today, along with Bilstein 5100 shocks all around. Makes the truck sit nice and level now, even with the winch and bumper up front. Rides really nice too. Took it on a really rocky road and it seemed much smoother than before. I'm happy with it!

    HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY TO THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE!

    So awesome. I'm not typically sappy about America stuff, but I am very proud that we established national parks and led the world in the idea and practice of conservation. It's such a neat thing to be able to access and keep for generations that come after us. I don't care who you are or how you...

    Rig Mileage

    Just crossed 6,000 mi, and I got it in May. At this rate I'll be putting on about 24k/year. I'm ok with that though. Bought it to drive it!

    Adventures of the Little Blue Taco (TRD, 4x4, Off Road, etc)

    I ended up trimming the bumper more around the winch bumper. It looks way better now. I had a local shop install the bumper for me, but they didn't want to cut the painted part of the bumper, so they cut out of the non-painted plastic and it looked bad. But the way it was meant to be installed...

    Adventures of the Little Blue Taco (TRD, 4x4, Off Road, etc)

    Soooo, I purchased a new 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 DCSB TRD Off Road (whew) back in May. I've taken it off road several times already and I'm really happy with it. I've never owned a new car before, so it was really neat for me to experience that. I wouldn't normally consider purchasing new, but...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Pulled some shrubs out to make room for a platform for my trash cans beside the house. No problem at all for the truck of course, but I also pulled some old fence posts out of the ground and one flew into the back of the truck! [emoji32][emoji32] Could have come through the back glass if it...

    Am I getting old?

    Ha, we have the opposite problem. This is what I'm eyeing for my Taco. I like how it's so stock-looking. Like it came from the factory that way. I don't think I'd get the extra bar:

    Am I getting old?

    I love my new truck so much, I don't want to do anything to it! I mean, I'm looking for a way to mount my winch, and I am in the market for a RTT and bed rack, but you'd think I'd want a lift, bigger tires, etc, but I don't. Feels weird, but I seriously don't want to mess with it. Any other...
