Truck sold to a good home 2/25/2020

Hi Gretchen~ I've passed the message on to my wife. Sounds like she has messaged you back. Looking forward to hearing your story! Adam

* 2/8/2020 Update: We will be out of town & service out in the Wallowas from the 8th-12th. Will reply to messages when we return. Cheers! * Hey Folks. My wife is selling her 2008 Tacoma. We're both field biologists and she's used it as her work rig for the past 9 years. Located in Bend...

I have a Bobcat riding on a 2012 Tacoma. I left the tailgate on when I first got the Bobcat on for a few weeks while driving around town to see what it was like. It didn't work for me for 3 main reasons: 1.) Like others have said, getting in and out of the camper is more challenging with...

Hey Gussie~ One place to check for parts is Wheelers Off Road. There in Ashland, so kind of in your neck of the woods. I had a shop in Bend just take care of the springs for me. I think I paid $650 or $700 installed. Something like 3 hours of labor. This also included the longer u-bolts...

Awesome! Congrats on the purchase. I'm another happy Bobcat/Tacoma owner. The ATC guys are great to work with. They always answer the phone within a few rings. And even tough I bought my camper used and not directly from them, they've always been super helpful in answering my questions and...

Well, I got my steps installed. One of the easiest mods I've done yet. Took all of 20 mins or so. Marty from ATC sent me a pic of a rear of a Bobcat with the steps. So I basically went off of that. All it took was a 1/4" drill bit and a socket wrench. I caulked the holes and the steps so...

I just completed a suspension upgrade on my 2012 TRD Tacoma. I have a ATC Bobcat on the truck pretty much full time. I had OME Dakar springs installed when I got the truck last year. This week I installed both front and rear Superbumps and Icon 2.0 rear shocks from Wheelers Off Road. They...

Hi April! Congrats on the camper purchase. I also run a Tacoma and Bobcat (but not the shell). My truck is a 2012. As you likely know or have heard the suspension upgrades are truly important! The type of driving you will be doing will help determine your needs. The Tacoma's drastically...

@takesiteasy - yeah, I'm thinking bolts through the door aren't the best idea. I too, like to see out the window and when I have the 'Roo hanging off the door it already mostly blocks the view. @HappyJax - good idea using the jack plates. I'll keep thinking on that. @Stalking Light - well...

Ahhhh, sorry to never update the post! I sold the truck this past July. Thanks.

Hey all! I'm about to embark on another Mojave field biology season in a few weeks, so I'm fiddling around with my truck and camper (2012 Tacoma w/ 2013 Bobcat) trying to get it all field ready! The weather's been nice and warm here in Bend, OR so working outside is actually an option...

Below is the new Craigslist post to the "naked" Ford. http://bend.craigslist.org/cto/4898736668.html Also, can anyone clue me into how to change the title in the Topic? Or should I just have started a new topic? I'd like to update it. Thanks!

Camper sold today! Will repost truck once I redo the ad.

I created a Photobucket site with a bunch more pics. I figured pictures were worth the proverbial thousands of words... Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. cheers! Adam adamdrummer80@gmail.com...

Hey Lighthawk~ good question about the downsizing. Several factors played into my decision. I'll try and explain without getting too complicated. 1) I really wanted an extended cab for my field gear when I'm on the road. My original plan all along was to keep the Grandby and put it on a...

Thanks Bill. I appreciate the feedback. This rig gets a lot of attention and people are always stopping me to talk about it. Other than replacing things when they needed to be done, I bought it fully setup like this from an ExPO guy, and he did a great job with quality parts. So I can't...
