Okay this might be my last upgrade for awhile. This one cost a little bit of 
. I weighed my Tacoma on my last trip and she is 6,800 lbs! I figured it was time to add air bags and upgrade the brake system. I looked at Wilwood, Powerstop and Powerbrake. Powerstop was quickly eliminated. I know a lot of high end custom car makers use Wilwood and they are great brakes but are they great off roading brakes? I could have saved 500-600 bucks and bought the Wilwood set, but the more I looked at the Powerbrake set the more I thought of the old adage, “Buy once, cry once.” The Powerbrake system is a “civilian” version of the brakes Toyota uses in their Dakar racing trucks. “Okay, you have my attention.” Did I mention @Tyler uses them? “SOLD!!!!!” I installed them on Thursday and have had limited use of them since then but I can already tell they are a great upgrade from the stock set. I can’t wait for January to get some trail time with these babies!!!

Awesome! Those were my conclusions when I was doing my research as well. I’ve already put them through 13,000+ miles of hell and it’s great.Okay this might be my last upgrade for awhile. This one cost a little bit of

Installed over the course of two days with some help of a couple buddies here and there. My arms were sore for a few days, but goddamn if the taco doesn't look so much better now...
Last pic in the roll is stock suspension when I was on a camping trip a few months back. You can pretty clearly see the difference!

First time changing my own oil. It got real once I saw it pouring out of my diff.! I thought I got enough but after the transfer case I got nervous. So I'll do the front diff. after I resupply.
It's at 28k but I'm the second owner. I want a fresh change all around.
Gun club??? We just find some open desert and set up the steel plates. 3 yards to 500+ yards.
Wish we had open ranges like that here.....gotta be careful with farmhouses....livestock.....etc.....our gun club is alright. heated indoor range.....300yd outdoor range.......22 range.......2 trap/skeet fields. I'd love to put my Remington Police 223 on steel at 500yds.....what rifle you shooting??
Nice, I'm planning to add a battery soon. I already bought solar components, though, and went with Renogy since the price was right. I just got the 100W panel in since it was backordered. For what it's worth, my test fit shows the 100W panel just fits on the roof in front of the antenna.Installed a second battery to use with an inverter, charge devices and run a Bair Hugger to warm the tent. I am looking to mount solar panels some day to keep the battery charged.
I was looking at the same one but I am planning on two of them. I want to hinge them together and keep them folded facing one another until I set up camp and then I can unfold them. It’s going to require a little fab work.
Won’t you loose your ability to use the sun while you are driving?
Yes, but I am hoping 3-4 hours of charging with 200W will be enough. I am still in the planning and testing phase. Another thought I had was two panels stacked, the top panel could slide away and uncover the other panel.
Cool ideas. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm just going with one panel mounted with VHB tape so nothing fancy.
Like the way you bolted it to your decked system. Very nice.Installed a second battery to use with an inverter, charge devices and run a Bair Hugger to warm the tent. I am looking to mount solar panels some day to keep the battery charged.

I will probably swap over my stock tires for the time being, unless I find a killer deal on tires. Still in the air if I want to go skinny and run 255/80 or go semi stock 265/70.
I found them the cheapest on fleabay, $740ish shipped. Everywhere else was pretty steady on $810ish shipped.
