What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

[Mr. Nobody]

Gots my alignment fixed.

Can definitely see the light brown in that photo. Looks great ?.

Unbolted my TRD Pro skid plate and dropped it off at a powder coat shop. I was never a fan of the stock color.

brocent, what are they charging you?

 

[3cent.Taco]

brocent, what are they charging you?

$50 for the skid plate. I have a few other things I went ahead and got powder coated as well - PowerTrays tray and bracket for the SwitchPros and two Off Grid Engineering battery tie-downs. All in, $100.

Getting ready to install a bunch of upgrades, so I packed up 1,000 lbs of my Harbor Freight crap to bring it to where I’m gonna work on my truck. It was still tricky with just me and @Paige. That toolbox is way over payload, lol.

 

[Mr. Nobody]

Played around with a new camp loadout. The setup is based around two ROAM cases. Still need to figure out where to put some stuff that lost its home when. We upgraded to the Drifter.

Will you be doing any dinette or shelving or anything?

Where is the couch going?

So no real dinette per se. The ROAM cases are the perfect size that one fit horizontally across the front of the bed, wedged between the front wall and the wheel wells, and we can still open it. A second case runs long ways down the bed on the left side and together they make an L. For now we are bringing our climbing crash pad to use as a pad for our new L couch. Future plans are to make our own seat and back cushions for the L that are also cpable to be used upstairs in the penthouse.

Good grief Tyler, did you and Paige lift that box into the truck?

Yes, but I had to take tools out of it. I figured I would, but I was trying to be lazy about it.

That sounds like a solid blueprint.

Added raptor lights and green line to my flags.

 

[Mr. Nobody]

Quick day trip out to Ocotillo last night.
it was good to get away for a short while and test out the new camp load out. Definitely a few changes coming, but still a solid foundation to work with.

Spontaneous trips are the best. Your setup looks much easier than your old one.

VERY overdue maintenance day. After 40k miles of stopping this beast, my original brakes were almost running metal on metal. @Paige installed a new @remmenbrakes Rockies series heavy duty brake kit, which are designed for heavy payload and towing, on and off the road. It feels great to have a truck that stops again. Safety first!

I will! Didn’t really get a chance to properly test yet. Can’t wait.

 

[Tyler]

Rear brake lines FINALLY extended. They don’t call me lazy for nothin’.

 

[Mr. Nobody]

Got out to Ocotillo Saturday night. Started at our usual spot. No crazy exploring, just used it as a trip to test out our new camp loadout and to get away from the city for a night.

 

[sdsponger]

Finally got around to installing my front camera kit from anytimebackupcamera and hit 30K miles!

So you're planning to rise a bit?
disregard
So you already lifted but didn't do the brake lines, got it?

Yes, the second one, because I’m lazy and dumb, lol.

Meh, I haven't done mine either. Even with the Dakars they travel is limited by the shocks.

I think I have actually seen my stock lines pull because I have extended travel shocks. Do you have extended ones?

 

[Mr. Nobody]

Technically they are slightly longer, but not by much. I've stretched them out to see and they get tight, but not enough to damage them. OME also states that new lines aren't necessary for use with my setup.

 

[slidoomz]

i ended up installing my snorkel today.

 

[Taco16]
