Thanks Jim - After reading these posts, I certainly won't be hanging things off the back of my Tacoma. Towing is certainly always an option, originally I was looking to keep things compact and do it all with one registered/plated vehicle.
Brian - thank you. The suspension info is exactly What I was looking for. With adding a custom leaf pack, do you thing there'd be a requirement for lowering the trans/transfer case to lessen angles/alleviate stress on the universals?
Having read the first several pages of your post on Expedition...I know which direction I'll head. Thank you for sharing all of that and for the amount of time you dedicated to that write up.
Thank you - these threads answer a lot of questions I had/have. It sounds like one vehicle that does it all is not my answer. I still think Tacoma with a FWC or PPU is the answer to most of the things I need. Thank you again!
This is a great thread! I'm also in the run for a FWC or Pheonix Pop-Up. I'm planning for post retirement adventures and want to hit the trails and camp mechanized.
I have a 2006 Tacoma with:
TRD Pkg
70K miles
4.0L V6
Downey shocks in the front; I think it's a small lift kit. Dealer added it...
Greetings - I'm getting ready to retire from the USMC and have started planning for my post retirement travels.
I have a 2006 Tacoma, TRD 4x4 that is basically stock with the exception of Downey shocks and a small lift that was added at the dealership.
I've been determining the best...
