    Hide your spare chain!

    There are DIY's on TacomaWorld showing how to get an oversized spare in the stock location. There is also a new gas can (similar to rotopax) that will mount in the spare tire spot. Can't think of the company's name right now.

    Minimal Upgrades to Stock TRD Pro?

    All of your current accessories + the incoming bumper setup is fine on your stock fox suspension. I have a local buddy on stock sport suspension with all that and more, and he does just fine on light to moderate off-roading. These trucks are pretty dang capable right out of the box.

    Bumper wrap

    Just plain black will be your best bet. It'll be pretty damn close to the color of the plastic on the rest of the rear bumper. Color matching to the truck likely won't be possible with plastidip. Texture matching is possible, though. The distance you spray the final coat determines how much...

    Bumper wrap

    Why not plasti-dip or get color matched caps? $325 seems steep for something so easily damaged (vinyl). Hell, a metal high clearance bumper would be worth the investment, too. If you're sold on a wrap, check out Meister Works in Renton, and tell Dave (the owner) that Arron sent you. I used to...

    How to make a Sour_Taco ('17 DCLB OR)

    For the price, I love it. I definitely wanted a hard tri fold, or roll up... but this was a steal at $200 ( I think?). it seems to keep the rain out, and hasn't started sagging at all. My gas mileage is up about 2 MPG, which is cool too. Shipping was super fast via amazon, and the install was cake.

    How to make a Sour_Taco ('17 DCLB OR)

    Thank you, Sir! ? Maxx is a great dude, and built a hell of a trailer. I've taken it out a few times, and it's nearly perfect for my needs. My only gripe is the height of the shell. I had to get the upgraded telescoping ladder for my CVT tent to support the RTT :LOL:

    Phone mount question

    I've got the 67designs mount on my TPAM from Expedition Essentials. Works great, though the 67designs mount seems to have list some of it's clamping power. EXE has switched away from 67designs and now uses Tacform. I've been told the Tacform is a nice upgrade.

    I chose CVT due to their price, features, and proximity to me. I had orginally intended on getting the Mt. Rainier, but a local guy was selling his Mt. Shasta extended pioneer for stupid cheap. I think I paid $1100 in total, including the annex. It's perfect for the wife and I, has plenty of...

    How to make a Sour_Taco ('17 DCLB OR)

    Beautiful car. My suggestion, steer WAY clear of APR. Go with Revo or Unitronic for the ECU tune. I've had both and love them. APR has all the money in marketing, and none in a real product or customer service.
