    Hi all. I have enjoyed my 2013 Tacoma with camper build and i am missing it more than i expected.

    2nd Gen camper water system | Tacoma World. I have an ARE MX on order and have already started on the build out. I hope once i have that added i will feel like i did with my Tacoma. Tell me it is so!

    P.S. Lots of talk about the Calvary Blue color. It was a tough decision but year and mileage moved me to go that direction. Does this color make me look fat? ; )

    Welcome! Swap them halogen headlights for some Morimoto LEDs! There's a color matched set for sale on here somewhere if I recall, even

    Yeah i was surprised to see the lens fogging after only 2 years. But the Morimoto are crazy expensive unless i am missing something.

    I personally don't own a Tundra, but some of the longtime members here have used our products on their Cav Blues.

    Thanks. It is nice, but makes me think of a bulldog! I have a nice journey before me.

    Ohh I never looked at it like that. Interesting thought! I love it.

    Before I started working for Ecoological, I wasn't a truck guy... now I keep talking to my lady about which Toyota Truck I want. Tacoma? Tundra? They both would have benefits to our lifestyle, but it's so hard to choose!

    I am also looking at sealing all the evident and hidden water and dust leaks in the bed. I know i will need to install tailgate seals once the camper is here and i can see the gaps. I have also noticed holes left and right near the bed front, holes on the 4 large lower plugs that no one knows why they are there, and holes behind the rail system that i will likely silicone. I will look through this forum for further knowledge, but if there are some you all know of, i would appreciate knowing!

    Tacoma: Mileage is great, forest lower overhead profile yet decent ground clearance depending on your rig, nice negotiating between trees and easy camp leveling if you are a bed camper. And they have the most comfortable seats i think Toyota have ever made. Pulling a load - 3500 but with the towing package and coolers, it jumps up to like 6500 lbs. based on my 6 cylinder 4.0.
    Tundra: I dont know yet!

    Awesome! You can check out camping along the coast, or up in the south/central part of the state in Cheaha state park. Or up north there are a lot of good places in the foothills.
