Yeah. Dummy move. It's a Tacoma engine with maybe 40hp more. But with the weight of a Tundra.
Tailgate was smart, V6 not so much LOL. Miss my Tundra so much I am shopping for another one. Damn Tacoma drinks too much gasolinaYeah. Dummy move. It's a Tacoma engine with maybe 40hp more. But with the weight of a Tundra.
Drinking just as much gas as the V8.

I know youre not asking me but I weighed mine at a Grain Place last week up in the Gorge. 5300 lbs with camp gearHow much add on weight with that setup?
For a tundra? The truck alone is over 6,000lbI know youre not asking me but I weighed mine at a Grain Place last week up in the Gorge. 5300 lbs with camp gear

fiberglass cap on mine really doesn’t add much weight. Maybe 150 tops.
Is that Marana?The tent is 130, the aluminum shell around 150, the camera gear varies ...
Had to install leaf spring helpers.
It still sags a bit but it doesn't bottom out like before.

You’ve certainly been doing it since forever and on the regular so I imagine you’ve got whatever load you carry down to your comfortable minimum. Amazing how light gear is for camping all the way around. foffie’s backpack thread is a good example.I know youre not asking me but I weighed mine at a Grain Place last week up in the Gorge. 5300 lbs with camp gear
I love that ARE shell.It’s a nice set up. I’m thinking about changing to an aluminum shell with a built in pop up camper.
Out of 100k miles on my truck, at least 50k were done in Baja and I've never had a flat tire.When I see pictures of the terrain like fecal posted the first thing that comes to mind is flat tires. Then rattle snakes. Big rattle snakes.
I've had good luck with BFG's as well. Never had a full on flat although I had a slow leak on my trip home after my last baja trip. Tundras are great but with my setup I can pretty much watch my gas gauge drop as I'm driving. I wish they had a bigger gas tank.Out of 100k miles on my truck, at least 50k were done in Baja and I've never had a flat tire.
Can't beat the BFGs.
You don’t find the storage space to be worth it? Everything in the back just gets thrown around and smaller stuff means more boxes.I love that ARE shell.
They only thing I'd do differently is to order a beefier roof rack and no box on the side, just a flap. It's a pain to access stuff in the back.
But the shelf I built on the other side was the best thing evar.
True. You def. learn whats needed vs. wanted. Although just got back from a Kite Trip to The Gorge and overpacked due to not knowing weather. Didnt need alot of it and will not to another trip without a Fridge/Freeze. I am OVER ice even in my fancy coolers.You’ve certainly been doing it since forever and on the regular so I imagine you’ve got whatever load you carry down to your comfortable minimum.
