Resurrecting this - what part number did you find? I see the cost for these assemblies through Toyota are ~$450...wondering what the quality difference is with something like this.
I chipped the edge of my taillight. Nothing severe, but just enough to annoy me whenever I see it.
I am now leaning toward a Tune M1 with a Vecel Outdoors interior buildout. The weight of the Tune M1 is 400-500lb, depending on options, and the largest Vecel Outdoors setup I would go with is 260lb. So 760lb dry. The cost for this setup is also quite a bit less than a proper FWC buildout that I...
I have lots of questions :) But we'll start with - do you know what the weight of your FWC w/ options is dry? It looks like a base Fleet model with no options starts at 810lbs. Trailhunter payload capacity is 1,425lbs.
Did you replace the springs, or just do airbags with stock suspension?
Yes, I was surprised to discover the Tundra doesn’t offer much more payload than the Tacoma.
Vehicle size is definitely a concern. I got PPF on my entire Tacoma. If I hadn’t, it would look brutal due to the tight trails I go on.
I currently tow a 1,200lb (dry) off-road teardrop trailer and over the past year have done almost 40 nights in it. I work off-grid with this setup and also run a YouTube channel, documenting my trips. However, I am looking to change my setup in about a year. The main improvements I want are...
I did MTS and crawl control, but I never actually engaged the rear locker. That would’ve helped significantly, in addition to turning off traction control.
Agreed on the trailer issue. Long term, I have my eye on a Four Wheel Camper or something similar. Want the “livability” so I can work remotely while in an interior area, but yea - I have got myself into a couple tricky spots towing a trailer.
It’s fun to look back on. Not so much fun in the...
KO3s…no complaints.
Thank you! I actually filmed a bit less than normal because I was stressed, so I felt it was a bit lacking in some areas. Appreciate the feedback, though.
I have yet to find one that I like that doesn’t completely change the front end look. Not a good reason to not have...
Well, it finally happened. After about a year of overlanding and 30+ nights in my trailer, we finally got ourselves into quite a tricky situation. There were a number of mistakes I made on this trip that continued to compound on each other, ultimately resulting in getting stuck in about 2' of...
If you are interested, let me know and I can get you a referral code for a free month of service. It has worked out great for me. I plan to do a dedicated Starlink video at some point in the near future.
We ventured down to the Blue Mountains in southeast Washington this past weekend for a couple nights of cold fall camping. I'm able to work remotely thanks to Starlink. We also fired up the Mariners-Tigers ALDS Game 5 on night two. While I generally enjoy dispersed camping for its remoteness and...
The maintenance schedule indicates replacing the front and rear differential oil at 15,000-mile intervals, beginning at the 15k mark, if towing. I somehow missed this; I'm approaching 23,000 miles and tow frequently, albeit a light trailer.
The process seems pretty straight forward. I've only...
Took it up into the mountains and camped for a night. We had to go into 4LO in a couple spots due to the rocky, incredibly steep terrain. I was a bit worried I didn't have the clearance to get past the obstacles. It performed flawlessly. I continue to be amazed at the capabilities of this truck...
