New to OB. Lurked around for a bit and really liked what I saw. My escape pod is a 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 with a lot of chevy and custom parts. It's trail and crawl capable but I am starting to lean towards overlanding. I am active on Ih8mud under the same handle. Hope catch some of you outside!View attachment 49656

Recently traded in my 5th gen 4Runner on a 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road double cab short bed with a 6 speed manual, in Cement! Loved the 4Runner had it since mile 2 on the ODO and sold with 91k miles, excellent vehicle and took me anywhere I aimed it. I had a 2008 Tacoma TRD OR that I traded in on the 4Runner so I guess I've come full circle, The Tacoma is a solid vehicle as well and I currently have 2200 miles on it, bought with 4 miles, put in my order on 19DEC2017 and took delivery 19FEB2018.

Hey there! We too just purchased a 2018 Tacoma, and I thought I would reach out to other members with this model to see if you could tell me which racks might be available for on the cab? I was interested in the smittybilt because it is fully welded and a great price point, but unfortunately they don't make the mounts for either the 2017 or 18. Have you done any research you may be able to share? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to keep the cost down. Thanks!

There are many options and I've done a bunch of research, I actually just had mine delivered this week. Cost is subjective but here are most of the available options for you.

This guy is a member over on tacomaworld.com and he makes some custom stuff. I purchased his rack:
https://dissentoffroad.com/

ARB makes one for the 3rd gen Tacoma, I ran an aluminum one on my 5th gen 4Runner and loved it:
http://arbusa.com/uploads/PDF/accessorizeYourRig/toyotaTacoma.pdf

Another tacomaworld.com member makes one as well and lots of people seemed pleased:
http://www.prinsudesignstudio.com/

Gobi makes one:
http://www.gobiracks.com/product-category/toyota/tacoma-crew-cab-2005-2017/

Baja Racks makes one as well:
http://www.bajarack.com/?id=racks_list&model=22&anio=2016

Front Runner also has one:

Head over to www.tacomaworld.com and check out the 3rd gen section for some good info as well

8632DB64-4405-45C1-B026-B8C23FCB38C3.jpeg The jeep was awesome but I’ve had back surgery and recurring back problems not to mention a new baby and a wife that was having a hard time getting in. Lol But now we drive a 97 fzj80. We absolutely love it!! Bought it from a neighbor who was a land cruiser buff. It’s perfect for us! Can’t wait to start exploring in her!
