    Truck or Jeep?

    Unfortunately Rams have ball joint issues. They have for years. I sold my 3500 diesel for the tacoma I have now. I loved that ram and wish I still had it some days. Buy some high dollar ball joints and keep an eye on them. Keep the truck, carry tools lol.

    Expedition Overland Central America

    Awesome Kurt thanks for the honest feed back. The tires look like what I'm looking for. Was hoping they would get a good review. Last thing I need is a set of tires like what I have on my 4Runner. And I agree with what you are saying about the '16. I was wondering if the regear would...

    Expedition Overland Central America

    Watched all three. Really enjoyed it. As usual, a great series. Kurt what were your thoughts on the new tacoma? Power band? Shifting etc. Also the new grabber tires? I'm looking to get a set here in a few months. Just hope they are good tires for a dd.

    Late model Toyota diesel imports?

    No sir. I've found some importers. One in texas, one on the east and one west coast. They seem to do a lot of skylines, Supras etc. But they get a few cool rigs a year. 4runners, pathfinder, monteros etc.

    Late model Toyota diesel imports?

    Any of yall have any experience with late model Toyota turbo diesel rigs? I've had my eye on getting a 2nd Gen Surf (4runner) for a while. I'd like a right hand drive, manual diesel. I've spent a little time with them, but nothing long term or durability wise. I've found a few sources...

    I just pulled the trigger on one for a trip in the next couple weeks. Went with a portable Midland 75-882 Nothing special but until I figure out what I want to hard mount in my new truck, it will do for the small hill Texas trip.

    CB Radio (merged thread)

    So now I need to figure out if I want a portable one or a hard mounted one. My wife backed out of the trip so we are taking my tacoma. I may bite the bullet and mount one

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Wife and kiddo surprised me with some new wheels for the tacoma. They need a more aggressive tire, not sure if I should just get some or wait to lift and get a bigger tire. I like them. They did good[emoji1]
