Yup, was about to say. All those who mount hi-lifts to their hood, such a bad idea.

Basically, yes. How do we prepare those around us, or those we're with in the event of worst case scenario. I know a lot of first aid kits are either in a drawer system (hard to access in roll over, etc.), so I really like the idea of attaching it to easy to access areas. Agree with everyone on...

Do you ever run in groups of friends or anything where an emergency could affect this? Just curious. Seems like most are in the camp of placing the stuff for their use only.

Interesting thoughts. I figure with clearly indicating important emergency items, those in my party could access my equipment if needed (I don't typically lock my doors offroad, but then again I also don't lock my house door half the time lol). @smritte, where do you mount your stuff?

Part of having emergency equipment onboard (first aid, fire extinguisher, etc.) is ensuring it is easily identifiable for yourself, passengers or others who may need to access it (in my opinion, anyhow). I see a lot of recovery equipment and first aid equipment obscurely placed in a vehicle...

Has anyone fabricated a rear bumper for the gen 3 Tacoma? I am in the process of doing up a design of my own, but my skills outside of cardboard mockups aren't that good. Trying to learn DesignSpark Mechanical, but would probably have issues with clearances. Curious to see any feedback some more...

Haven't taken any yet. This is about the best as I have from the side.

After waiting for all the parts (months), and finally getting all the cutting done to get rid of 99% of the rub with 35" tires on 3" of lift, here is the result. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Suspension: Bilstein 6112 & 5160 remote reservoirs with SPC UCAs and icon add a leaf Wheels...

It is capable, but not for the tracks I intend to run. The good stuff isn't always down an FSR (for example the image below) and neither are some of the hiking trailheads with the washouts they get. Having done the same stuff in my Jeep, it's already apparent that while the stock truck may...

I am by no means a Toyota expert yet, Jeeps sure ahaha. But I believe 265/70 is the highest without a lift. Anything 285 and above is in the cab mount chop range/lift and above 285 is into control arms and lift for sure.

I hope to have my Tacoma built before August 2nd and will be running Whipsaw in the interior region of British Columbia August 2nd to 5th. I've done the trail before (details down below), and I know it is pretty popular so if anyone else would like a guide or has been thinking of doing the...

Well I actually went with Bilstein 6112 (and a 1/4" front strut spacer) in the front and 5160 remote reservoirs in the rear based on local feedback. I got SPC UCAs, a cab mount chop and wheels with a 4" backspace and -12 offset to try and clear 315 75R16 BFG KM3 (or KO2s haven't decided fully)...

I agree about the fronts, I will have to see about that. Looking at a winch and a front bumper at the most really. I know the bumper is around 115 lbs.

That's what I figure. Not looking to race Mint or Baja 1000, just want to get to those fishing spots, hiking trails, Oregon dunes and some legendary trails. Thinking of this on the front and these on the rear with a Dakar rear leaf pack after some research.

@smritte @mylilpwny I read that Fox worked with Toyota to develop some shocks, and thus they should have decent valving out of the box if you buy the right part number. No idea if this is true. But I had fox 2.0 reservoirs on my Jeep and really liked them, and I'm thinking of doing Fox over...

@Hafaday @smritte Thanks guys. Any input or experience with Fox, Bilstein or Icon? I read about the sensor thing on the 19's. But I also read it was BS as well, so who knows.. I will find out haha. Cab mount chop and some trimming is probably going to happen at some point anyhow, so I'm...

So two years ago I sold my 2014 Jeep Wrangler which I had lifted on 37's and the whole lot. I bought a luxury car, which was nice but did not suit my life style at all. I moved out of the dense city area to a suburb recently and picked myself up a 2019 Tacoma TRD Offroad this weekend as a...

Best of luck on the trip! You are an inspiration for fathers, likewise with your family.

I've created a rally point for this event. The forum post can be found here and the event here.

The Whipsaw trail is located in Southern British Columbia and is a multi-terrain track. This run will include travelling west, staying a night at Murphy Lakes. The Whipsaw runs from 2,400 to 6,260 feet in elevation and traverses some of the most scenic terrain in British Columbia.
