Someone on another forum pointed out this is similar to what the current DCSB looks like with the interrupted body line. On the LB in the current models it flows better. And in some earlier "spy" shots of the 2016 being tested where there was an AC also seen the body line flowed onto the LB as...

Another option is 235/85/16, presently available in the KO and will be released in KO2 around April 15th. That's what I'm putting on my 2015 as soon as I get around to buying it :) Tread width really depends on your application. As far MPG goes narrower is better than wider. For many off...

Another angle of the rear wheel, seems like it is a drum. That's fine with me actually.

Yeah, definitely thinking drum. Identical processing on the front wheel here, notice larger diameter disk that is much more reflective. So I'm thinking the rear is a drum. AGAIN, ABOVE PHOTO IS THE FRONT WHEEL FOR COMPARISON

Well, this is as much shadow detail as I could pull from the highest resolution image I could find. So, is that a disk or a drum??? Drum I think, but what do I know?

That front is going to be a problem for after market plate bumpers. Looks like nothing will be a bolt on, break out the Sawzall. That may decide it for me right there, I'll likely be getting a 2015 simply so I can get aftermarket stuff right from the get go. I'm expecting most of the...

Actually the bed looks identical to the 2014 and 2015 models. The interior of the bed I mean.

Yes, external appearance looks little changed. But honestly, what needed much changing. Well, I guess CAFE changed the front end with the gigantic air dam which will be the first thing removed for any expedition vehicle. Real question will be the drive train and interior, both of which Toyota...

I've got a 92 22RE with 125k on it, essentially stock. Oh my does that creep up steep hills with any sort of load! Top of Towne Pass in DVNP and I'm in 2nd gear doing about 35 mph with my camping gear in the back. It is a regular cab and now that we have a kid it isn't going to cut it...

Supposedly it is being shown off on the 12th (Monday). I think that is a press event that there is likely a video feed from. Who knows how much detail they will give at that moment or at which point the press will be able to dig around the vehicle and take pictures. But presumably we will...

That is the most common and straight forward way to fit 33". In theory you can do other things like cut or replace fenders, change wheel offsets and such. But more practically without any changes beyond lift until you get to 3" of lift the largest tire you can fit without rubbing issues is...

I cross water perhaps once a decade. OK, maybe two times if it is an out and back route :) Mojave desert usually, some Utah. At slow speed, trying to maintain steady progress with a bow wave. Very nervous if over hub height, would consider bottom of door/bumper height if I knew there was no...

So I've spent the past week and untold hours trying to figure out the "do it right once" suspension. Here are my conclusions: - You can do an OME kit for $1K with nitros for shocks and one of their front coils with a dakar in the rear. For a heavy load you can add an additional leaf to the...

Tacoma has intake in the fender. So it does reasonably well as far as hydro-locking risk goes compared to something sucking from the front. Most snorkels aren't water tight to begin with so they might reduce hydro-lock risk a bit in a dynamic motion situation but once you are slogging along or...

Thanks again everyone. Sounds like for no hassle robust approach just having AT install a Fiamma F35 would be the way to go. Though something like the ARB self installed could be a good cost savings. I'd be doing a Flippac on a 63" bed (Tacoma Double Cab). I'm wondering if you can mount a...

OK, my apologies. I was only thinking of the context in which I use my truck - to drive down a dirt road to get somewhere to camp that might have washouts, rocks to large to move in the way, tight turns or narrow drop offs. Some spots are tight or otherwise tough enough to stop a longer or...

Is that the only reason? In some sense ACLB vs DCSB is a bit zero sum when it comes to storage if you are in your 99% of the time use case of just two people. The difference is just bed storage vs. interior storage. Certainly they aren't the same thing, but there are a lot of things that...

2 feet is quite a lot on many of the trails I go on so I understand the OP's concern. In my experience getting places for a given long trail in the desert 95% of the trail could be driven in a Civic, 98% in a soccer mom SUV, 99% in a PreRunner and 99.5% in a 4x4 F350 crew cab long bed. Only...

Thanks for all the feedback! Looking through more build threads I'm seeing some clever supplements and mountings. With the Fiamma or ARB poles on the ground I think I could make a simple shade side panel that would make better shade at lower sun angles. Velcro loops on two adjacent sides for...

Just WOW. Thanks for the incredible effort in maintaining this long build page and sharing all your excellent ideas. I'm planning on a FlipPac on a Tacoma DCSB sometime in 2015 and to find something this detailed in the exact form factor I'm thinking of is some miracle of the Internet...
