@fj80toyman Thanks for the compliment. Regarding the SC, I've been around long enough to not take everything a sales guy has to say as gospel. Yeah the SC would be nice and I'd still go for it, but in the end I don't think the power issues are real show stoppers for me. I do still have low range...

Taken at Lone Pine CA this past weekend.

Supercharger Update: Not exactly holding my breath but I emailed Magnuson a couple of days ago and their head of Marketing & Sales indicated a SC will be available for the 3rd gen Tacoma "...by next year". Some context: if there is one complaint I have about this platform, it's the lack of low...

One benefit of trailering - you can unhitch and park the trailer to go for a day-trip. This can come in handy for length-restricted trails or where no 'RV's are allowed.

Ran into some mud at Capitol Reef NP. I was impressed, really impressed, with the Crawl Control on the Tacoma. After first NOT using it, and making a bit of a mess of the diamond plate on the front of the trailer, I decided to try a couple of short climbs up the muddy road using Crawl Control...

According to David from Conqueror NA, I'm the first Tacoma/Conqueror 440 customer in North America. So here is a thread to post my experiences with this setup. I recently picked up the 440 from Ohio and had the pleasure of driving it back home to California, stopping bye in Kansas, Moab and...

Conqueror 440 UEV Picked up my trailer from Ohio this past week. The airbag/AAL combo worked like a charm and the trailer was remarkably stable. The Tacoma power plant worked ok, but could use a bit more torque up the higher altitude passes. However, overall, it is very doable and I'm pleased...

Hondo Garage Device Holder Just a quick pic of the Hondo Garage Un-Holey Dash Mount, paired with the 1" RAM ball, RAM double-socket arm and RAM X-Grip holder. Previously I used the same RAM arm and X-Grip on a ProClip dash attachment. I liked the ProClip - was solid and effective. The Hondo...

Nice rig, and nice photos too. Haven't seen too many of these yet but looking forward to seeing more.

Suspension Install: Bilstein 6112's, 5160's, Wheeler's 1.5" single leaf add-a-leaf, Ride-Rite Airbags Apologies in advance for the wordiness of this post. If you're more into picture books than words then I won't blame you for moving on. A pic of the suspension install in-process: Now let me...

Thanks @Boort. The Tacoma w/ the towing package comes with a 7-pin connector all wired up as well as the wiring harness to connect the brake controller. The cable I installed was for charging the trailer battery off the main truck battery (preferably while the truck is running). Though a harness...

Just got my emblem today, so thought it may be time to start a build thread. My take on modifying my vehicles is to make as few modifications as possible, but as many modifications as I think are necessary. This in turn helps me keep things reliable, save weight and - best of all - keep costs...

Badge #5708.

Greetings from Northern California (Bay Area) from a basic family man with adventurous aspirations. With two young kids and two 55lb beasts (dogs), I'm interested in family-friendly overlanding opportunities that won't scare away my crew, but rather will instill a sense of adventure, confidence...
