    How well or detailed do you plan your trips? route/timeline/campspot

    For me it depends where I am going and for how long, also, if its just me or a group. I have lead a couple group runs now and those get WAY more attention for the following reasons: It allows others joining to plan for mileage, fuel needs etc It also allows them to speak up if for some reason...

    With a $1100 budget, what upgrades from stock would you get?

    Since you mentioned tires are already in the plan, and everyone has echoed the maintenance items (don't skimp here) past those my personal recommended starting areas would be: Self recovery items (traction boards, straps, come-along can work in a pinch etc) Skidplates - especially w low height...

    Extra Moab White Rim backcountry permit available - Sep 10-12

    Hey all, We registered for an extra permit as we were originally planning on our Moab trip having 6 rigs. We now know we only have 3, therefore we have an extra permit. Permit is for 3 nights along the rim on these dates, starting from Schafer Sites are: Airport Hardscrabble Taylor (which...

    Camp Shower (Merged)

    Flip flops and a front door mat (in my experience the astroturf ones work best here if you can find one that rolls well). Cheap and easy.

    Vehicle weight survey

    1) Does your fully built rig exceed GVWR? Yup, well, I am basically just over it daily 2) If so, by how much? ~300lbs on a day to day basis, fully loaded going out on a trip I can exceed by up to 1k or so. 3) If so, what long term effects have you seen? Luckily I haven't had anything of major...

    Vehicle wraps

    Just for reference. my shell is wrapped black (got sick of looking like a commercial CHP truck) and it has taken trail striping well and not torn. The last trip out left fairly heavy pin-striping on the clear coat on my truck, while the wrap suffered the same, it held up. I am thinking of...

    BFG A/T K02 or TOYO OPEN COUNTRY A/T II?

    I ran quite a few sets of Toyo's on my other trucks (Ford Superduty) and they did well but I was not happy about wear patterns / life with them. It wasnt horrible but was not as good as with the KO2. I have had both the original KO and KO2 on my Tacoma, and have been very happy with them.

    Which tire pressure on road?

    This is the method I use: https://www.tundras.com/threads/tire-pressure-chalk-test-how-to-guide.2114/ There are many guides on the web for this and all are basically the same. As most of us change tire sizes, load ratings, amount of weight we have strapped to our chosen vehicle etc. you...

    Quick Question: White Rim Trail

    He is in an 05 Tundra, with 33's I believe and should have sliders on by then. I usually end up running point (also useful as I am usually the only one w a winch) so should be able to spot him through. Ill make sure to get him out somewhere and see how his driving is. He has done some desert...

    SOLD 1st gen, Delorme InReach

    Much appreciated, but I run an Ipad for the Nav screen with Gaia through the delorme (I know, a bit much) I did manage to find an IOS version on Ebay so I grabbed that one. Considering how these things have been selling as I have been watching them the last couple weeks I am sure you will have...

    SOLD 1st gen, Delorme InReach

    That is what I am on the hunt for, I had thought that this version worked with either. I have a first gen inreach explorer, however with the wife going backpacking at times when I am out wandering the backcountry only having access to one sat messenger has proven to be an issue when coordinating...

    Pickup truck owners with shells - ideas on keeping out dust?

    I need to do this as well, but I have seen quite a few people on Tacoma World using adhesive backed weather stripping around the tailgate area to help combat this. Most have reported it being fairly successful.
