I don't think I'd really change anything about it if I still needed the telescoping feature. It has worked well (except for the struts that blew out prematurely). It's simple, it works and was stable. Glad you got to check it out. I was kinda all over the place at the BBQ so I didn't get a...

You can look at it, but it won't be functional.

here's a recent parting shot of the trailer with the new tent before it gets a minor redesign

My telescoping rack is going to be removed soon. Since I'm not using a tent with an annex anymore there is no need for the tent to be raised. I will still salvage the platform of the rack, and just cut the legs off. I'll be building a lid finally after 6 years and that will help keep things...

I'm with you 100% on the solid axle vs IFS/IRS topic. Just saying what was going through my head when I was contemplating one of these. I think at the time (it was years ago) that there wasn't anything available in terms of lifts for them so I was trying to figure out a way to use other...

I really like the look of these Monteros and I've entertained the idea of building one for a long time. IIRC they are unibody. That makes it a little tricky to get a lift under them especially with the IFS/IRS. I've tried to figure out if it would be possible to swap in some Toyota axles with...

I should send it around to everyone I know since you sold your Taco out from under me (my brother) ;). J/K it's all good and I won't be sharing it. We were in SoCal over the 4th of July for my son's soccer tournament and I was constantly picking my chin off the floor with all the uber...

well crap. I'd jump on that 4Runner 10 times before thinking about a Montero........but that's just me.

Boo. or congrats....I guess.

Ferg, my little brother is trying to buy Sixstringsteve's truck and is wanting a rack. There's already a buyer for steve's truck but if it falls through this week then my brother is going to try to pick it up. If he does I think he'd be very interested in this. I'll let you know as soon as I...

Cool. Give me a honk and wave next time.

Haha. Seriously. Two browsers is a good idea. This isn't the first time I've mixed them up.

Haha. I doubt it, but thanks. Maybe if it wasn't an old man color it would get drooled over. :) I gotta say that the old-man-gold does not attract as much attention from the po-po. I guess they figure that it must be some cranky retired dude driving it that can't read the speedo and not some...

Thanks. I had the color mixed by Superior Auto Body, and I used *cough* *cough* Rustoleum Clear Coat. I gotta be honest the quality of the clear coat is fine, but the nozzle on the cans is crap and makes it difficult to put down a nice even coat. I had to really be careful and take my time to...

new fenders have paint on them now. Turned out pretty good for rattle can. 3 coats of custom color matched paint, 8 coats of clear. :)

I'll just leave the plugs and screws in place. Might use a little color matched touch up paint on the screw heads so they blend in a little but they aren't open holes.

I'm pretty sure I can get the corner lights taken care of. They probably won't be perfect but acceptable. As for the rear, no plans to change anything for now. There are some glass bedsides that I've thought of doing but like these front fenders I'll have to find some on a killer deal before...

Here's some pics of the fenders. Made a first pass on fitment. They fit pretty well all around except for the corner lights. I need to still do a little work on them to get those to fit better. I picked up paint for them today so I should have them color matched soon. As it stands, I think...

Low Range had them at a sale price. Someone ordered them a while ago and never got them so they were just trying to clear them out. Cost me $315. That was a sweet deal on its own but to save shipping was extra good too. Not to mention the horror stories I've heard about shipping delays from...

Hey Utah peeps, I've got a 20lb CO2 tank for sale. I don't want to ship it so hoping to find a home for it locally. Here's a link to the FS thread. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/buy-sell-trade/333384-co2-tank-fs.html#post8806663
