I had the Smittybilt one for around 6-7 years and never had any complaints. Used it to air up 33-35” tires from anywhere between 10-18psi to around 35 or so. I’d made a hose that connects to two tires at once, the smittybilt would get hotter than an exhaust manifold but never quit, even with a...

Not sure how close you are to Santa Ana, But I had one of my wheels repaired by Santa Ana Wheel Repair off the 91 fwy by the 57. They did a great job and price.

Grabbed some ADV bedsides on the Black Friday sale and threw those on. I found the bedsides to be easier than the fronts by far on these trucks. In the picture above, you can see where I have my Smittybuilt 5cfm compressor mounted on to an expedition portal mount where the factory larger bed...

Aaaaaand some more Pismo dune shots in early 2019. Also a video !

Cruised up Cuesta grade / TV tower road today, some killer views and a sunset provided for some cool pictures. This is how she will look for some time.

Had a cool dude named Nick Valentine (NV Fab) build me some tube inner fenders, along with straightening the core support as best he could. Remounted all components in Oem location. Pleased with the work, price, and responsiveness of his shop, would 100% recommend him to anyone in SLO county...

Since this is kind of on topic and I'm in the market: What kind of ground tents are you guys liking? Instant/easy setup is a perk for me, I hate pitching tents, but not a requirement. The Coleman looks rugged and simple but may be hot and may not fold out the best. I was also recommended the...

Got any more pictures of the hood latches/ pins on the core support? and how you attached the bezel pieces below the headlight area? Looks like a small rivet on the bezel and then some tab that goes behind the fiberglass?

Agreed :( I haven't been back since late 2019 and want to make a trip before it could be too late.

Awesome truck! Another Socal guy who ended up in SLO... ripped the dunes... and back down to Socal! lol

It was actually a short stint... :( about a year... But I miss the area tons! Your bumper saved my truck for sure in the dunes! 100% I am back down in SoCal currently after graduating school and starting with a company in Murietta.

Late 2018 saw a bunch of small trips to Pismo dunes! Big adjustment to learning to drive in real dune sand. Found the happy spots at 8-10psi in the rear 10-12psi in the front Keeping it in 1st, 2nd, and a little of 3rd gear. Stop AT THE TOP of dunes and point down hill Keep my momentum up ...

Whats up Mike ! I still need to come to vegas soon... Trying to plan a small group trip for Oct. 5-8 to do the Mojave trail, barstow to vegas...

Nice Tacoma! Looks like you're local to south Orange County? I am in RSM currently.

Got some ADV 4" front glass, painted the core support with satin black spray paint, as well as Raptor Liner'd the undersides of the fenders for hopefully some protection. Also threw on some Amazon tail lights because the OEM rear was cracked, and I have a thing for clear(ish) tails. And...
