Thanks for that.
I did take my Taco to Argentine Pass and it worked awesome. I do expect to take it on a few close medium trails. It is more of my daily driver than can wheel when I want to.
The Land Cruiser is my primary wheeling rig and people hauler if I have more than two adults. The...
Since I posted this in the review vs Builds section. Here is my review after 1 year of ownership
My navigation and remote connect subscriptions have ended and I don't want to spend $15 a month to renew them. When did Toyota start charging for navigation? You used to get a set of maps and could...
And the final Mod . . . . . . Well, I am sure it isn't the final mod, but it is the end of the build plan I had.
Bed stiffners from Uptop Overland. These are the no drill that also have 3 holes in case you want to drill later on as you add more stuff. I have been pretty good at nutserts so I...
FWIW, I think it may be pre-wired, but I don't know. There is wiring and a connector where this goes in the console with a blank on top. Talking about the connector on the right end and there is a blank on top
I went ahead and ordered the Utop stiffners. Seems like the best of both worlds. I can install with no drill option and even add 3 bolts along the side if I want to add strength now or at a later date.
They said it is compatible with the OEM Tonneau cover
Thanks everyone for your input
Took my Tacoma on its first off road run today. I took it up Argentine as part of our off road clubs volunteer cleanup day with the forest service.
Understand my comparison point is to my Land Cruiser.
I was very pleased with how it performed
It did not shift from 2H to 4LO. It beeped at me...
Those do look good and no drill is certainly easier. It would seem to me they wouldnt be nearly as effective as ones that have several attachment points up the side, meaning dril.
I read a lot about needing Bed Stiffners if you do any offroading.
This was a problem on previous generations. The difference here is the full boxed frame likely wouldnt allow as much flex idependently to the bed.
I see the venders still say they are needed. Anyone research this in detail to...
Installed the Rough Country Molle panels and they do work with my Tonneau cover

I installed the panels today
Front panel was easy except for a toyota problem. One of the bed bolts was over torqued and I slightly stripped the head getting it loose. I was able to get it to work with a reverse drill and hammering a hex bit into it and was able to tighten it back down. I...
I have front and rear. Got 1.5" front and 2" rear. Make sure if you get them you are getting the newer lots. Apparently the previous lot did not provide as much lift to the front.
After installing my winch and Bumper it is about 1.25" in the front
Today I completed my Skids plates
RCI Engine, Tranny and Tcase
RCI Rear Link Rear
This is a known weak spot. From Tinkers Video
o I tried the RCI Rear Link Front Skid but it didnt work since the top bolt was used by the CBI Slider. I ended up with a DV8 skid there
Very Happy with it.
