2wd truck in snow and ice: Not so good

This most recent trip to Lake Arrowhead was absolutely amazing with a huge amount of snow but it might have been the straw that broke the camels back. We've used my 2wd Toyota Tacoma Prerunner for camping, overlanding/offroading, and family trips for the past 5 years. But never has there been a time that I … Continue reading 2wd truck in snow and ice: Not so good

Why I love my Softopper — a 3 year review

After doing a bit a research I decided to give the Softopper brand camper shell a try because of the versatility. Another great alternative is the Bestop SuperTop truck topper which goes for around the same price.

Love me some #rainydays at work
Catalytic Converter Shield by @talonsgarage only took a few hours to install, and I could have done it quicker with an extra hand. Floor jack and jack stands came in handy. Now that I know how to do it, it would take less than an hour. Peace of mind for my second gen Toyota Tacoma I'll have to think about the catalytic getting stolen anymore and I have some protection of the transmission when I'm off-roading. Overall, this seems to be a great product for under $400 shipped. Oh yeah, and I still have plenty of mud to clean up from our last trip!
Getting ready to install the @talonsgarage Catalytic Converter Shield on my 2nd Gen #toyotatacoma prerunner. Let's see how this goes. It's beefy so far and gives transmission protection for offroading

I've never been to Utah, but the views at Red Rock Caynon were unreal! Nevada has a lot to offer if you want to explore the desert
