Hey 'Ya'll, I traded the Tacoma for a full size RAM, but I kept my Super Srings to offer someone from the forum. They were on my Tacoma for about one year, and they are taking a lot of space in my garge. I would like to get $150 + shiping (they are heavy), but will accept many reasonable...

Hi Folks, I made my own cross bed brackets after seeing the pictures like the ones Stan posted here. I had no trouble with them on a nearl 10K mile trip, with ample driving on washboard roads. they were pretty easy to make and certainly saved me a few hundred dollars. I will probably post my...

Hey Kevin - I used the screws pictured below, which I got at HD. Replaced all the roof screws and no leaks or problems, pluse thery are coated so as not to rust. I got #12's so they'd bit hard in the #8 or 10 original hole. Hope this helps. Tom

Hi - I have a nicely restored '98 Ranger for sale that works nicely on my 2nd gen Tacoma with 4 cyl eng; but I have to drop the tail gate to carry the back end. I did not have any problems with a 2.5 month, 10K mile trip, including some nasty dirt roads. If you'd like to cotact me directly...

Hi there banana person - I have a nicely restored '98 Ranger for sale in S. Louisiana. I took it off a Ranger with 7.5 ft. bed and then modified it to fit a Tacoma 6 ft. bed, so it my not work for you now. If interested, given the distance, we can discuss and do some measurements to be sure...

Guys - Here's what I came up with; made from a 6 ft. length of rain-gutter cover I found at Home Depot and mounted to the underside of the cabover with aluminum angle, screws, and pop-rivets. I saw posts about this on the Overland site, with drawings, etc.; and then came up with my own...

Hey Jim, I'm about to try the "store the pad" somewhere method, as I had two pads made for my Ranger (none came with the camper) that were 2" and I bottomed out. So I ordered another 1" pad and managed to tuck it into the same cover as the 2"; so now I'm much more comfortable. But, as you know...

Hey folks - Thought I'd pass-on this tip about a cleaner I found that worked great on the canvas and the alum. siding. It got black crud off both that nothing else would touch, and the canvas almost looks like new. This stuff, along with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser did the trick. What's funny is...

I rebuild my rear lift panel with birch plywood. It turned out real nice and looks great, but it was a chore dealing with all the pop-rivets, etc. There are several posts on the subject and lots of good pictures to guide you along. Good luck! tom

Hey Guys - I know we're supposed to list "gear for sale" elsewhere, but since this is still an active thread, I'm giving it a shot -- even if I might get spanked. I bought one of the speaker tripod crank stands and it works well, however; when I built a custom camera shooting platform for the...

Folks - I've got interest in 2 of the 3 available sets of the jam nuts - any takers for the last set? Call it my small way of giving back for all I've learned from this forum. Tom Hi Folks - So, I wanted to have lock nuts for my turnbuckles (standard type) but couldn't find left-hand...

Hi - I removed all my interior panels and it wasn't so difficult, however; they were in bad shape so I worked hard on installing new birch panels which I secured with narrow crown air-gun staples at the top and bottom. While I was at it, I reattached a few alum. frame members that had broken...

Hi Folks - So, I wanted to have lock nuts for my turnbuckles (standard type) but couldn't find left-hand (reverse thread) nuts locally. A vender on EBay had them, however; so now I'm willing to share 4ea with three of ya'll. Just send your email address in a reply to this post, I'll send my...

Hi BC - guess I never saw those threads even though I read everything, or so I thought. Heaven forbid should I have stirred a tired old pot yet again. Tom Actually, there's been lots of "discussion" (mostly spewing of personal opinions...), most-recently here, on a closely-related topic that...

Hi rotti - I do have military training from a hundred years ago and even further back hunting too. I will do the CCL course before I depart. Creeps was a general term for low-life's who try to steal stuff, if not harm too; and like you I never encounter them, or rarely, but I want to be ready...

Hey folks, Since I haven't read anything on this topic here I wanted to find out if it's customary to carry "protection" when one is on the road or in back country. I will soon be heading west for about 3 months of wandering and photographing and with the number of creeps I'll surely encounter...

Hey Folks, After all the resto work I've been doing on my '98 Ranger, I still find water on the floor at rear. So I took the door off and after removing all screws it popped-off rather easily. What it was sealed with was 3/4" weatherstripping, the peal and stick kind, light gray, so me thinks...

Hey S. D. -- It looks like you did a good job on the repair. I ended up replacing all the roof screws with larger diameter new ones from Lowes that came with the washers in place. They really hold tight and there was no need to add sealant. Thanks for mentioning what the ATC folks do with...

Hey Guys, I began removing and fabrication a new rear lift panel today (top all broken) as per Rich's post of sometime back. Boy, is that a job or what? I lost count of how many rivets I drilled and punched out. That took the most time. Anyway, I cut and re-drilled the two panels of 1/4 birch...
