    FJ Cruiser / Tacoma

    About the payload... it seems to go heavy we would need a full size truck. I don't like full size trucks much for overlanding; they're too big for my taste. So I prefer the challenge of going light but still comfortable. If I could pick one vehicle it would be a Land-cruiser Troopy, but not too...

    FJ Cruiser / Tacoma

    Been looking at these guys: uteltd.com They are less than half price and from what I've read they are well built. I think I'll go with a premade flatbed and build the topper. The flatbed will hold the weight and I'd like to use it for other stuff, so I want to make sure it can handle things...

    FJ Cruiser / Tacoma

    FJ Cruiser / Tacoma

    My Tacoma is white as well. I want to black-out the hood. Not because of political correctness, but to keep the glare out of my eyes. Have done it to previous vehicles and it works great.

    FJ Cruiser / Tacoma

    FJ Cruiser / Tacoma

    FJ Cruiser / Tacoma

    I've pretty much decided on the FJC first, but would love to see everyone's opinion. I have a 2008 FJC with about 220,000 miles. Manual. 4x4. A-Trac. Rear Locker. OME Heavy Supspenion. Cooper Tires. Zero issues except a tranny vibration at about 20 mph. Seems resolved after I drained some of...

    Howdy. Just joined. I drive a 2008 Toyota FJ Crusier (Automatic) and a 2020 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab/Short Bed TRD Offroad (Manual). The FJC has an OME heavy suspension and that's it for the mods. Looking to finish setting up the FJC for overlanding and then the Tacoma. Started back in Florida...
