Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
I've had a few questions about the Tiger Moth. Here is one of the better Youtube videos on the camper
Additionally, people have asked how durable this camper actually is. I've never had any issues in the places I've gone. The owner/designer of the unit was a NASA engineer, and the quality...
We are selling our Taxa Tiger Moth camper. This is similar to a teardrop style camper, but the interior bed converts into a bench style seat and you can move around a little more than a typical teardrop. There is storage under the front seats and in the tongue box. There are several platforms -...
I know the majority of the ads here are 4 wheel variety, but I figured I'd post this in case someone might be interested in the 2 wheel overloading as well. I am selling my KTM 1190 Adv. The bike has the Kaoko throttle lock, Touratech air filter kit (stock filter as well), Touratech/KTM pannier...
I was walking through an outdoor store a few weeks ago, and I came across this:
Glamping by cobblecrazy, on Flickr
Now I know this would be much harder when doing the side of the road, or stealth, camping, but in most of the dispersed camping spots I don't see why this could not be a quick -...
I forgot to include this https://cj3b.info/Owners/Shank/Shank.html for a little insprirational read - watch the home movies as well
A little youtube video as well
I'm wondering, now you're "two up", if something like this might be an option - (watch from 0:00 to 6:15) You could give something like that a try through a rental company like this one http://www.rentoffthegrid.com although theirs are a little bigger than the Oregon Trail'r.
Maybe a...
Just as everyone else has chimed in, I had one for several years and used it once, but it was nice to know it was there. During a change in vehicles I farmed out the jack to someone who had need of it. Since that person had low funds and used it in a variety of ways, I let him keep the jack...
Another issue I was concerned about was the rear camera being covered up by the bumper/tire mount. I've seen the information on how to re-route the camera wiring and mount it somewhere on the swing out. I went with the dual swing out in part as it offered the ability to open the swing outs...
The new lift installed. About 2.5" higher than stock with the nose down rake similar to stock.
Front 2.5's

Rear 2.0's with remote res

Expedition springs and rear track bar. I was a little concerned in going with the...
One of the things I didn't really like was issue with the exhaust. The exhaust is factory attached with two metal "bars" welded to the frame and bent at a 90 degree angle. There is a rubber "cube" that goes over these two "bars" (one has a nob on the end that keeps it from coming off), and...
Sorry for the delay in posting. Both bumpers arrived and are installed.
Here is a pic of the Southerstyle Slimline bumper (sorry some of the pics that will follow are sideways)

The install went fairly well on the Southernstyle bumper. In the online...
Deposit put on suspension parts. We talked with Icon and figured out the 700 lb front coil spring would be too much so going with the "regular" spring on the 2.5 coilover. Also decided on the 2.0 w/res in the back with the Icon "expedition" spring, and all three arms in back. Spoke with CBI...
I finally began the "build" process. I ordered a Southern Style front bumper with the recessed light bar and hoop options - so with the Smittybilt winch I already have I'm thinking I'll be in the 125 - 150 lb range up front. Also ordered a CBI Offroad rear bumper with dual swing outs (one...
I have, thanks. One issue I still have not located in searching through the builds was the Icon instruction reference to the deactivation/reactivation of the KDSS when installing the shocks. I'm assuming it has something to do with the possibility of excessive "droop" when the parts are...
Thanks for the input.
I put about 12,000 miles on my Tacoma prior to adding the upgrades in suspension. I found the biggest difference was on the severe washboarded dirt roads here in Nevada. I was able to pass over at speeds (and in comfort) not attainable in the stock configuration. I...
Once again I sit at my notepad and a computer at the start of a build. Despite my good intentions, and lessons learned from my Tacoma build, my list continues to change on an hourly basis (each time to the dismay of my bank account). Some is due to an inability to make a final decision...
Well, this is us...
