This is my 73’. I spent many years all over Baja with my 77’. I missed that bus a lot so I got another one.

I go camping, surfing, fishing and take road trips to visit friends and family. I enjoy having a vehicle that is fun to drive and gear that makes those activities comfortable. The overlanding trend has come out with lots of cool gear. This site talks a lot about those cool vehicles and all the...

Now this is overlanding. This way I always have WiFi. No need for the truck either. I do have a substantial suspension upgrade on the rolling platform the camper sits on... and a solar panel... outside.

Caravanlander, the trax are X bull. They work great. They’re usually with my truck but anytime any vehicle’s wheels are spinning trax can possibly get you out.

I have some small ones inside but the two in the picture are always on the back. The one on top is for wet wetsuits, snow gear and trash. It’s my trasharoo.

I’ve been using the yellow lid box’s for a few years. They actually work great. They hold up a n the weather with no problems. Because they’re so cheap they’re hard to beat. I’d prefer black lids and it would be nice to have a little more security but that hasn’t been enough to get me to buy...

I believe the title “overlanding” typically includes two hobbies. Using your vehicle for adventure and exploring AND building a 4x4 then testing its capabilities off road... while exploring. Ones exploration my require a 4x4. Others get by without it. I think the answer to “what do I need for...

That sounds like great advise and it also sounds like open diffs will be good enough for now. I definitely need to spend my money on tires for now. Thanks again.

That’s great info, thanks. Yes it’s a daily driver. I’m back to thinking I’ll wait until I'm ready to put selectable lockers on. I was just investigating the cheap and easy solution.

Sounds good, thanks

Thanks for the response. It sounds like your saying an LSD can ad a fair amount of traction, with the right tires. I imagine tire size comes into play as well. I only plan on 32-33” tires. I would guess an LSD Would always be better then an open diff , especially for the relatively small amount...

No way I can justify the money for air lockers on my 00’ Tundra right now. A LSD or even a drop in locker (Lockright) seem like a good solution for the price. I’ve read a lot about this and after all the research, I’ve found the feelings are so mixed I’m really no closer to knowing whether it’s...

Ok, I’ll go for it and be sure to give it a good rinse after.

I’ve always had the idea that driving on the beach would be really hard on a vehicle because of the sand. Is spraying the underside of your vehicle after driving on the beach enough to prevent any damage? I’ll be on the Oregon coast this summer and wonder if it’s worth driving out on the beach?

The first gen Tundras seem kinda small compared to, what I consider, full size rigs but here’s mine on a kite surfing trip on the Columbia river. It does have a v8 at least.

It probably will be KO2’s when I’m able to get tires. Thanks for the input.

i just purchased a 2000 Tundra. For the light trail driving that I’ll be doing in the immediate future, I think it’ll be fine left stock. I do however think I would benefit from some more aggressive tires. I know the Ko2’s Perform great and look cool but it seems a waist when most of my driving...

Yes, I have a few things I’d like to do to her when I have a little money to spend. Suspension upgrade will probably be one thing. Here is how I’ll drive her as a daily driver and go on solo adventure’s.

I got it! I can’t believe it. The truck and camper both look brand new.

Thanks for the info. It has the v8.
