  1. What Made You Choose Your Tacoma?

    My journey started a bit differently. For the past decade, my wife and I have been overlanding in our four-door Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Over the years, we put a lot of work into building it out, and it eventually fit us like a comfortable glove. But it was getting a little long in the tooth, so...
  2. AluCab Contour Canopy - Installed

    Good stuff. Thank you for sharing. I've got work to do in the off-season :).
  3. Trailhunter - Replaced the OEM Rim Protectors (Tires) w/ Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T LT275/70R18 (34")

    One additional observation: With our recent trip, we just passed 25,000 miles on the Baja Boss A/Ts. I've rotated them every 3,000 miles to manage wear and minimize feathering. As with the BFG KO/KO2s I've owned, they've gotten progressively louder as the miles have accumulated. It's difficult...
  4. Trailhunter - Replaced the OEM Rim Protectors (Tires) w/ Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T LT275/70R18 (34")

    Nothing surprising there. Tires rarely measure exactly as advertised. Although the MT is marketed as a 34" tire, the actual diameter is 33.3". For comparison, the stock Trailhunter tire is marketed as a 33" but actually measures 32.6" in diameter. A significant portion of that difference comes...
  5. AluCab Contour Canopy - Installed

    Thank you for the pointer. Going to investigate. One question, first glance looks to be attached with adhesive. If I may ask: * where do you live (climate question); * how long has yours been installed; and, * how well has it remained adhered? Again, thanks for the suggestion.
  6. Trailhunter - Replaced the OEM Rim Protectors (Tires) w/ Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T LT275/70R18 (34")

    I only went up 1" in tire diameter, to a 34". I didn't need to remove the crash plate, which was one of the main reasons I chose 34s over 35s. Yes, I also replaced the spare and kept the standard black spare wheel. It fits underneath without any issues, including raising and lowering it. The...
  7. AluCab Contour Canopy - Installed

    Had an Alu-Cab Contour canopy installed in May, and we've been very happy with it. From my perspective, the build quality, construction, and styling are all excellent. I was particularly drawn to the one-piece design, lighter weight, and strength. The appearance, while obviously subjective, was...
  8. What is the purpose of this sticker and QR code on a 2025 Trailhunter?

    Some stickers, such as the one centered under the display are not to be removed by the dealer. The link (QR code) takes you to: https://www.toyota.com/privacyvts/ This is the Vehicle Data Transmission page discussing how your data is/not to be used.
  9. Long Range America Fuel Tank on 4th Gen Tacoma

    Good question. Most of the aftermarket bumper options I've looked at have been ruled out due to TH incompatibility. While unstated why in most cases, I expect it's due to the armor.
  10. Long Range America Fuel Tank on 4th Gen Tacoma

    In my own reading, I didn't note: Is this an auxiliary (2nd) tank? Or replacement for the OEM? My comment assumed an auxiliary tank.
  11. What's The Current Mileage on your 4th Gen?

    I think this pic is a perfect example of why mileage discussions can be all over the map. The image tells us quite a bit: 29.2 MPG over 29 miles in 38 minutes, averaging roughly 46 MPH. And, it's most likely an instantaneous average. That’s a solid result. But it’s also one relatively short...
  12. What's The Current Mileage on your 4th Gen?

    Absolutely love the color as it appears in your pic. Beautiful.
  13. 33k miles tuned Tacoma review

    I generally stay out of this sort of back'n'forth, but, I don't think I've ever seen such a more honest statement: Never thought about that... You're digging a hole.
  14. 33k miles tuned Tacoma review

    Really no need to be snarky. Just do a little searching in the forum. There are literally 100s of posts on this topic. Your precise question's been debated in multiple forum threads over the course of months.
  15. Long Range America Fuel Tank on 4th Gen Tacoma

    A gallon's 6.07lbs. If it's 36 gallons (mentioned elsewhere), that'd be 219 lbs. My guess is the tank (aluminum) plus hardware's going to be at least 50 lbs. So that's potentially a 275 lb (full) item.
  16. Dirty vs. Clean: Show Us Your Rig After a Weekend Adventure!

    Our four-wheelers have typically served as my wife’s daily drivers. I like to clean them as soon as possible, usually within a day or two. However, my wife manages a senior living facility, and the residents notice everything about the vehicle. They go outside to read the stickers, look for...
  17. Tacoma died on freeway puffs of white smoke coming from exhaust with gas smell

    The K&N filter could contribute, particularly if you cleaned and reoiled it recently. Excessive oil can be pulled past and contaminate the MAF sensor (different vehicle, but been there, have the t'shirt). As also noted, fuel injector sticking open or electrically commanded open (e.g. the...
  18. Overlanding trip became a struggle

    Enjoyed the video quite a bit. Appreciate your sharing. :)
  19. Overland Build Interior - Trailhunter

    We bought from Raingler Nets & Barriers, as well. No question, first class product. And, when they say '4 month wait,' plan on waiting at least as long as they say. One of the very few products I feel comfortable recommending. As for the San Juan Islands, though, everything I've seen, from...
