    Review Airbedz for the Taco

    Just got my new truck bed air mattress. It fits pretty well in my standard bed. A little bit of a gap over the wheel wells causes a slight bit of a roll to each side. The mattress is 12" thick when inflated. There is 22 1/2" of clearance between the top of the mattress and the lower...

    Safariland "Snorkel" - Regrets?

    I picked up a new, still in the box, Safariland snorkel a few weeks ago at a very good price. Does anyone regret installing theirs? Did anyone experience increased wind noise/road noise? It's a pretty big commitment to cut a massive hole in your fender. Mark 406Camper

    Review ARE Truck Topper/hard shell/campershell/truck cap

    7/13 Update below I recently purchased the A.R.E. CX Classic truck 'cap' for my 2017 TRD OR. I got 'windoors' on both sides (one with a slider and one without) and the front folding/removable window. Very disappointed in the product. It leaks so much that I can't build out a permanent...

    Review Natika Front Facing Camera

    Good when it works (see build thread). No fisheye effect. Crapped out after 10 months. I just bought another one for $33. Will see if the company is going to do anything about it. Source: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BFBCPB8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Pre-Purchase Question Campershell/hardtop or RSI Smartcap?

    Ok everyone. Thinking about buying a hardshell. I researched the forums and YouTube and basically my options are ARE, SnugTop, Leer (all around $3,000-$5,000) or RSI ($5,000+). There are pro's and con's for all of them. Main use is for camping on trail rides, tired of setting up a tent in...

    New Land Cruiser 300... Would you buy it if you could?

    Hey all, not Taco related, but curious what you all think of the new Land Cruiser 300. You can't buy them in North America, and apparently you have to sign some sort of agreement when you buy one that you won't import it into the US. Not sure what that is about. Anyway, I'm kind of torn. I...

    Is CO2 worth it?

    Just checked prices for CO2 cylinders in my area. Holly smokes!!! $47 to fill a 10 lb cylinder. And the 10 lb'ers are pretty rare. Is it worth it when you add the cost of the cylinder or powertank system (~$400 basic system). I saw some guys filling up quickly (3x faster) with CO2 in Moab...

    Anyone have a single Staun tire deflator I can buy off of them (maybe left over from a set). Or maybe it doesn't work? I am looking to built this and don't want to spend $100 on a set of four when I only need one. Thanks, Original link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGEp_CtFqUE

    Montana Snow Wheel'n (Near Virginia City)

    Went in search of some snow this weekend with @406Cruisers. You would think that it wouldn't be that hard to find snow in Montana in mid- December. You would be wrong. Had to go to the summit at 8,000'+ to find decent snow. 18 rigs showed up to play on Saturday. We had a great time.
