That's a pretty cool build! I like a lot of your ideas. I like the way you set up the two LED lights with the ram mounts. I like the way you set up your bike holders. Overall wicked overland build! Stay safe!
2nd Gen love always gets my attention as I have an 07 Taco. Loved the intro video & nice work on the walk around. Looking forward to checking your channel. Sub'd
Very nice setup, my only complaint is that the fridge is way too far in the back, makes it difficult just to grab a drink from it, you have to pull the whole thing out just to get a soda out of it. Other than that your setup is nice. :)
Sweet build BootnCrank, it's certainly a "clean" look; Lots of "Quality of Life" additions which. Mechanically I'd agree it's pretty minimalist and not overdone for what you do. Though you forgot to mention the Blue Raspberry Freeze from Taco Bell! Gotta keep the driver cool right? :P
sick build!! I have a 06 tacoma & have been slowly modifying it! which build would you recommend first? 1. ditch lights 2. hidden bumper light bar or 3. new wheels?
The hidden bumper light bar was one of the first mods I did first. Between all my lights too I almost exclusively use the bumper light bar over my roof bar and ditch lights.
Do you know where you got the mounts for the lights at the top of the rear roof racks> I know you said Ram Gimbals but were there any bracket attachments you needed to purchase? Thanks.
Which tonneau cover is that? I have a 2g Taco as well with the hard ARE cover and want to replace it so that I can have the ability to add the Max Modular bed rack.
I also have the ikamper mini on my 3rd gen Tacoma. Looking for a new bed rack and really like the KB Voodoo racks. How do you like yours? I'd live to use the 2.0 mounts instead of the 1.0 that your using. Have you tried any other mounting configurations on that rack. I am thinking about the long bed 14" rack. Thanks.
Me and my buddies use exclusively KB Voodoo and theyre awesome. As far as I know there is no way of using the 2.0 mounts on Voodoo racks. Its just a height issue and the 2.0 brackets are moreover made for tubular shaped racks from the looks of it.
I'm puzzled as to why you only needed a CMC on the driver side and not the passengers side also. Something has to be out of spec... Or, am I missing something here?
Frame geometry is slightly different between the passenger and driver side with passenger side already having maybe half an inch extra clearance. My buddy only had time to do the driver side which absolutely needed it but the passenger side rarely rubs only on a very fast, tight turn, where the cab really articulates. So for the most part I just havnt bothered to do it since its not much of a problem.
Cool video! Have you had any issues with your CV axles caused by the lift? My drivers side cv axle has a torn boot and im wondering if it has anything to do with the lift throwing off angles. Thanks.
Sorr for late reply, yes I have had drive side CV axle issues. I've replaced two so far in the last 2 years but after the 2nd I installed a clamshell bushing which alleviates spindle wear due to the change in angle. No issues since!
Forgot to mention those. They're an amazon special; "AKKON U-TUBE Halogen Smoke Edition". I like the overall design but they are cheap, the seal actually broke on the driver side as soon as I put the hood down after installing them. So I wouldn't exactly recommend them.
A very offbrand one from Amazon but its called the "VBENLEM 35L" its a great budget fridge but isn't as efficient as a higher end one like dometic so it has been draining my 500w battery pretty quickly.
