Ok, I just filled the water and the taste is much better, however, it only tastes as good as the white hose I fill the tank with. I would say it is 100% better, but it still has a slight taste. Nothing that would affect our tea now.

Lead, I'm not sure exact measurement, but I was planning on using the top bolt hole of the brackets, then down to almost the ground. Perhaps about a foot or so above, so I don't run into any clearance problems. I have to work at the rear bracket, I have a small pipe on it now that holds my...

So I got the new hose and installed it but was just too tired to fill the tank and test it. Some how I had two wood screws left over in the reassembly though. I will fill the tank today, and tell all of my expected triumph, I hope.

Well with a lot of research and less money, I decided on an ARB Bull Bar Bumper Deluxe. I can sort of afford that. Then I wanted a Superwinch, but that wont fit on the bumper so I will go for a Warn VR 8000 or M 8000 (bothe the same). It is rated 8K and that's all I need for the Taco. It also...

Thank you Cort.

Very hot looking truck. I am looking for a 9K winch for my Taco. And I love the bumper, but I want one without the bull bars. Cant find one. Also, is your rope synthetic or wire. How do you decide. If you don't use it often will the synthetic rot? Is it worth it to go synthetic for the price...

We will be going there the first week of June. Starting from Mattole Rd. I will keep my eye on the weather. I have a shovel and come a long, but no winch yet. Like you all say though, I will watch the weather.

Dog, I just may take that advise. I should prepare my truck a bit more for that kind of fun in such a remote place. I will still add in some short easy dirt roads instead though. thanks

Craig, I love those pics. I hope I'm not getting in over my head. I mapped all unpaved roads, maybe I should have a back up and a couple other routes as well. Maybe I can get that winch sooner then I thought.

Thanks all. I just ordered a gas tank holder to mount to the back of the camper. I couldn't get the Adventure Trailers kind, so I settled for a Front Runner style. I should get this just days before we leave, but I will feel better going on all the little unpaved roads around Usal and such. I...

Thanks, I got my brackets. now I am going to mount them on some angle iron. I will attach the angle iron with butterfly nuts to the camper jack attachments on my camper. That way I will be able to remove them and put them in the bed of the truck while not in use. I hope that on semi windy days...

thanks Sunman, we are going to do a lot of exploring. We have a few days, so we want some peaceful time and easy fun.

done that too. I am sure it is the tube. It smells like the same plastic hose taste we taste. I have to replace it anyway since i went to this much trouble taking it out.

Every time we use our water from inside the camper, we get this disgusting plastic taste. No matter what. We flushed the tank several times with bleach, taste get better stuff, etc. Then I decided to check on line about this and discovered I was not the only one. Only these wise guys said that...

Thanks Rob, we are still in the planning stages, and I was hoping there would be a bit more 4wd experiences. We are planning on taking all the dirt roads and camping on them. But we have a few days to spend exploring. Also looking for some fun surf spots.

Valerie and I will be traveling south from Oregon in June. We are going down 101, but decided to take the small roads instead. I have located alot of unpaved roads on my maps that go from Old Mattole road west of the Humbolt Redwood state park. The unpaved roads go all the way down to hwy 1 past...

Yay, The fu@kers are finally dead. May they rest in pieces.

I am going to finally lift the front end of my truck, 2" to level it with my rear end. I had put a new set of leaf springs on the rear of my Tacoma to better support the camper, and stiffen up the ride. That worked, and it worked good. Since, I noticed I am 2" lower in the front end of the...

Hey all, I am trying to attach the feet of my awning to my truck. Has anyone done this before? Is there a reason I don’t want to do this? The reason I want to do this is because of the wind. I don’t want to have my awning fly away, break, fold while it is out and I’m away. I was thinking of...

Well, here is the deal. My camper was put on at the factory when I bought it. It has NEVER come off, and wont, unless i have to take it off for maintenance on the truck or camper. Currently when I look in my rear view mirror, all I see ever, is the front of my camper as you all know. So...

well i'm looking for a back up camera. i have no idea which one to get but i will take your advice or thoughts. i am going to have it where the signal goes to my rearview mirror. here is the other question. since i never use the rear view mirror, how bad would it be to just leave the camera on...

i was in oregon and it was raining super hard. we had the flaps open at first, but it rained so hard we were getting wet inside, i closed the flaps and no more problems. if we didnt have them or had internal ones, we would have been in trouble. it can rain very hard in oregon, especially in the...

Highz, that is a great idea for using the steps on their side, I was just planning on carrying my step stool. I will have to check out your method before my next trip, after i buy the steps that is.

Bill, As far as I know, you just take them off and store them inside the camper by the door. They weigh very little and seem easy to move around. On level ground, I have no clue. They are probably fine just a little off, not bad enough to worry about I imagine.
