    Best Rig to Start a Build

    I have a 2019 Tacoma. I love it, but it is not perfect. Visibility is meh, even the short bed dual cab BARELY (by just a couple of inches) fits in my garage, and payload is awful (1175). I put a bed topper on it and when I start adding up numbers the payload disappears quickly. I haven't...

    I only got 200. I am clearly not trying hard enough! :laughing:

    2003 Tracker build

    Love this truck! I learn more from builds like this than I do another generic Jeep or Tacoma build (full disclosure I have a Taco). :smile:

    What's your MPG (fuel economy) on the road.

    I have a 2019 Tacoma SR DCSB 4x4 auto with a shell on the bed. No lift or whatnot. It has the TSS package that came with 17's and 265/65 AT tires. I deliberately kept the exterior as slick as possible and tried to keep the weight down by only adding stuff I thought I needed for what I do. No...

    US Southwest DFW Monthly Recurring Overland Bound Meet - August 2019

    I survived the holidays (barely) so will try to start getting out more. I can't make the 26th but will keep an eye out and see if I can meetup with y'all at some point soon. @Wilson123 I now have a decent tool kit in my Taco, just in case! :wink:

    Overlanding with a CPAP; Power options?

    I have a CPAP and I use a Goal Zero Yeti 150 that I got pretty cheap on Ebay. I can get two or three nights out of it depending on the weather. I don't use the humidifier, and I don't use the 110 transformer, just a cable that runs from the Yeti straight to the CPAP machine off the 12V outlet...

    US Southwest DFW Monthly Recurring Overland Bound Meet - August 2019

    I think we are doing Thanksgiving that weekend. I work in retail and have to work actual Thanksgiving Day plus all weekends in December. I think my next camping excursion may end up being in 2020.

    US Southwest DFW Monthly Recurring Overland Bound Meet - August 2019

    I was thinking about this toady, and wondered about a Group Site at a local state park. They usually have a cover, a grill, tables, etc. Ray Roberts for example has a site for $75 for the day, and if we all chipped in on the fee and split up the hot dogs and chips it would still cost less than...

    I talked to him this week and he had to postpone it. He is going to get back to us when he has a solid date.

    Spices what do you carry

    My box has the basics like salt and pepper, but I also carry some Cavender's All-purpose Greek seasoning, and the all-important I put that s*** on everything Fuzzy's Tacos "Fuzzy Dust". Yum!
