Ah, the new tires haven't been revealed yet, I see. :cool:

I'm looking forward to seeing the new stance.
 
Also, got the bottoms cushions in for the couch on the back. These are on top of @ROAM Adventure Co. 95L. Rugged cases. Still trying to find the right length back cushions. They might have to be custom.

UGH THATS SO FREAKING COOL!!

So excited to see everything tied together.
 
i like that slide mount. how many things do you think you can fit under it?

It's designed to fit a pop up 20" cook partner stove. I've got a box of gloves and wipes in there right now.
 
Today's project, installing the 22" Cook Partner stove into the SoCal Teardrops fridge slide. Super easy install. Drilled 4 holes in the bottom of the stove using the provided template, swcure stove with the supplied bolts and done.

Had spindle gussets installed yesterday, my cab mount repaired, and installed the mid and rear skid plates. FabZone Armor out here in San Diego, CA absolutely KILLED it. I'm so impressed with these guys metal fab skills, and their work ethic. I definitely recommend them.

As the paint on the gusset is drying...

How the cab mount turned out...

What the Cab Mount looked like before... (To be fair, this was my own doing. I had a CMC done and while it was very good, my upgrade to 35's required more and I was headed on a 2 week trip the next day. So drastic measures were taken. I knew someone some day would be able to repair it. So I did what I had to do and got on the road. It was a great trip to🤣.)

Oh and we test fitted some 285/75/16 Toyo Open Country MT's on some legit beadlock wheels just for fun. Man oh man did it look good.

Finally finished and installed my homemade C02 tire inflation setup. Pretty stoked with how it turned out. Should give me roughly around 20 fills at around 15 psi each for all 4 of my 285/70/17 tires until I need a refill.

Beautiful form and function!

How is the SCT fridge slide holding up? I've been looking at different options for a slide that has a stove mounted under it. I thought I was pretty set on the ATOverland one because I thought they were the only ones to make something like that: https://atoverland.com/collections/fridges-and-slides/products/at-combo-slide

But this looks pretty trick too. The ATOverland one is designed to work with a partner stove that was made especially for them where all of the controls are at the side of the stove but I noticed with the SCT one there's little piano hinges that you fold the stove up with. I really want to be able to fit the 22" 2 burner partner stove because it has it's burners spaced 12" apart so you can easily fit 10" sauce pans and stuff.

How well do the hinges work with the stove? Is the stove stable when you flip it up?
 
Wow dude, it’s been a while since I looked through your thread. So much awesome going on here. Those skids are niiiiice!
 
Thanks for the compliment @Tape !!

The only big brake kits I've seen we're the Wilwood kits and the Stoptech stuff. Both are very nice. I was leaning towards the Wilwood when I was looking.
 
What did you go with, I can tell there is a big downfall with the factory brakes, especially when you're trying to brake hard.

I have the Remmen Rockies series and am incredibly pleased with them. Our truck is super heavy and they have held up excellent. I recently came down from Big Bear and intentionally tried to push them as hard as I could. They were incredibly hot and smelly, but they did not lose one bit of their stopping power. At the bottom of the hill they clamped just like they did up top. I was seriously impressed and now highly recommend them.
 

[SIZE=3]Mr. Nobody[/SIZE] hypothetically, if I had a new 2017 Tacoma 4 x 4 and a new 2019 Tacoma 4 x 4, could I remove the front right brake/caliper assembly from the 2017 and bolt it up to the 2019 or is there a difference? IMO yes it will work.

The reason I ask is because Wilwood says that their brake/caliper kit will fit a 2017 but it won't fit a 2019.
Stop Tech says their brake/caliper kit will fit a 2005 to 2021.

I could check it out tomorrow at work and see if they call for the same caliper from the factory.
