    Selling seats

    Many folks in this forum may have replaced or removed seats from their Tacoma for various purposes. What generally happens to the seats after? Can I get people's experiences?

    Pacific LoMax Tonneau cover for DCSB Tacoma.

    I'm waking this thread back up. Is there anyone in the Pacific Northwest that's interested in a tonneau. Didn't get much traction last year then I went traveling for 8 months. I won't have it on hand for a bit (still in transit). But if you're interested, please let me know!

    5.29 Regear on stock

    I often run my truck on 4th on the highway. Given the gear math, I think it gives an idea what it might be like (I may be way off on this) I run mostly stock (32 inch tires) with a GFC on the bed full time. Once this virus stuff clears up, I'm going to find an installer and get it done to 5.29.

    5.29 Regear on stock

    I recommend watching this. It's basicly where I found my answers. Original link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxBWZGQIScI&lc=Ugx0VPIpIxt765Vpw3x4AaABAg.93fYiq6GYEw98HYOCOe-F2

    5.29 Regear on stock

    The stock 3g seems to play well in the 2000-3500 rpm range, which is also why I seem to like 4th gear the most. If 6th gear with 5.29 does that, I think I'm sold.

    5.29 Regear on stock

    I think I'm at that 400lbs mark. The GFC is at about 300 and then gear and stuff will tip it. I appreciate the feedback everyone!

    5.29 Regear on stock

    @UploadAdventure. By "bunch of weight", how much? 200lbs, 500lbs, 1000lbs?

    5.29 Regear on stock

    I run my truck (6AT) on 4th gear on the highway quite a bit. When I did the math, it's comparable to 6th gear (with 5.29) and I'm happy with the RPM / power tradeoff. I'm still not happy with the gear searching it does on modest hills. How is that working for you using 5.29 @Icefog34?

    5.29 Regear on stock

    I'm considering changing out my stock differential on a 2017 4x4 TRD-OR. Is there anyone who has made the gear change but kept the truck mostly stock? Pros and cons? Did anyone add a front locker as a part of the change?

    I just moved to the PNW from SoCal. Currently in Portland riding out the lockdown. I think we're close here. When will events start happening again?

    Rattle driving me crazy

    I believe I ran into the same issue on the same bolt! After additional research, other folks have had issues with that same bolt coming loose. I wonder why? Thankfully, no grinding or shimming was needed. I do offroad and have had the bed pretty loaded with a rooftop tent and gear that I needed...

    Best roof racks and roof top tents?

    I've had the GFC (Go Fast Camper) for about 2 months now. Two things that stand out and really like. The doubling of covered cargo space. This doesn't mean double weight, but double volume for sure. I can now do short trips with 4 people Setting up the tent is easy on level ground. Literally 30...

    Pacific LoMax Tonneau cover for DCSB Tacoma.

    I realized my description isn't helped much by the product link. - Trifold - Matte Black - Doesn't flip fully like the MX4 - low profile - Aluminum panels and build It's was an outstanding product providing great security and weather protection. It served very well as a platform to sleep on...
