Of course not. But IMHO, it hardly seems prudent to risk everything you have worked for to get extra range from a vehicle. And make no mistake -- a good attorney would have a field day with this...

I agree with much of what everyone is saying here. I have to disrespectfully disagree with the premise that, since the tank retains all of the factory equipment, it still conforms to DOT specs. The...

I hate to be a kill joy here and unlike others who have posted on this topic, I don't claim to be an expert on gas tank manufacturing. But I do know quite a bit about vehicle liability and the...

I was the contributor who mentioned the tank seen in Namibia. Unlike the tank manufactured in Bend, it was all stainless steel. And I know of two Tacomas in the states that Hilux tanks were...

A few months ago, I posted this on a thread trying to get a group buy going: "I was just in a store in Namibia that is selling a stainless steel auxilairy tank for the Hilux with a 100 Litre capacity...

Interesting -- I know of two Tacos's in the States -- a 2007 and a 2009 who have the tanks originally intended for Hiluxes installed. In both cases, the modifications to install them were pretty...

Sorry -- I just saw that "Thatguysgarage" is the same as Blue Ridge

Have you checked out these guys? http://www.blueridgeoverlandgear.com/MOLLE-Seat-Back-Panel-p/21msb12.htm

I have two of those panels and they work extremely well. Well made and reasonably priced.

My post was anything but thoughtless and would never normally meet the definition of being troll like. But I know a few here have pretty thin skins.

I dont have time to scan all the posts to find...

From what I can tell, the Hilux and Tacomas are virtually identical. Of course, they are right hand drive here and have the diesel engine.

My point was that tanks are being made for this truck...

I was just in a store in Namibia that is selling a stainless steel auxilairy tank for the Hilux with a 100 Litre capacity (26 gallons) for 2995 Rand. At the current exchange rate, thats about 390 US...

The missus and I are wrapping up a 3 week overland trip thru Zambia and Namibia. We are driving a 2011 Defender 110 with British registration, and the border crossing with a Carnet was reasonably...

Ti Fargo mounted on an Aluminess rack. Rock solid on/off road

As someone who has had an Aluminess bumper on the front of a Tacoma for a few years, I can say with all certainty that there is no issue with the fender flex causing any issues with the body. I have...

I own a bike shop and Schwalbe is the tire we primarily sell. Check out the (http://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/off-road_tires/marathon_plus_mtb) for off road touring. Great tire and as...

A great thread. I too went through the Sportsmobile purchase process. I visited the factory and looked at quite a few used ones. Ultimately, it came down to having a vehicle that cost that much...

I for one will sleep better tonight knowing the "protector" is out there. I'm sure your tactical training, gleaned from years of watching Die Hard movies guarantees that every one of...

I appreciate the response. Unfortunately, the facts don't necessarily support your logic. Hunting has been in decline for decades while gun ownership has been on the increase. Our...

Let me begin by saying I hold you in the highest regard for what you have done with this site, and Overlanding in general. But as someone who has travelled extensively for the past few...

Apparently, Apple devices will no longer include Google maps as a base app. And I understand that Google map updates will not play well with IOS devices in the future. I recently switched from an...
