I am building from scratch and now how to weld and do fab work. I am looking for more of just squared shape and drawers on them and some cabinets for slide out grills and other things. I have looked at doing a square tubing style, just didn't know if anybody had some plans to share.

I have been doing a lot of research and have done some trips just in my state. Now it’s time to get serious. I am wanting to build a trailer but don’t know wear to start. I’m going to mount a rooftop tent to the top of it so I’m using it for storage and food stuff. So I’m wondering if anybody...

Update on the truck! The tires are rubbing so I am having to trim the front fenders. I have been trying to draw plans up for bed rack. Any ideas on a cool bed rack designs.

Thanks!

Well, here is the truck! Finally got a 2.5 inch leveling kit on. The wheels and tires are 18" XD135 and 285x75x18 Toyo Open Country RT

Well I bought a new 19 Ram 1500. In a couple of days it will be leveled and 35s put on it. Any suggestions on roof racks or the next step to take?

What kind of mpg are you getting out of your 3rd gen 4runner?

I am 6' 1" and my girlfriend is 6' so a Tacoma might be a little small for us but I really like them tacos!

I have been doing research, I have almost thought about buying a newer Tacoma and going that route but that means I have to trade in my Ram 1500 2wd I have now.

I am new here, and just getting into overlanding. I drive 90 miles to work and back and I want to buy a rig that I can build into an overland rig and a DD. I am stuck between a Newer Tacoma, XJ and a 3rd gen 4Runner. What do yall think would be the better choice for me?

Hey, I know that guy! The truck is sick in person!
