That's a much better idea than having a cord bouncing around in your engine bay all year round. Why doesn't everyone do that??

Lose the cover flap, get gunk in there, done. Cord comes out too easily, etc. I mean, its kind of cool, but with how much salt is used around Ontario that thing would be eaten in a year, tops.

Biggest load the Tacoma has taken so far, about 2500 lbs worth of industrial gearbox and associated doo-dads. Didn't really bring it down too bad and actually handled surprisingly well. Truck had literally 300KMs when I put this in and the guys at the plant were asking if I wanted a blanket or carpet down in the plastic bed so I wouldn't scratch it.

Also, remember to vote today people.. not that you could forget with all the robocalls for the past few weeks.

What's the deal with newer pickups having such short beds? What the gently caress do you do with a bed barely larger than a kitchen stove?

I don't know poo poo about pickup trucks so I'm genuinely curious.

It still holds small things, but you have way more room inside the cab.
My 2011 Tundra Crewmax is super comfortable for 5 large adults. The bed is short, but with how tall the tailgate is I can still haul 8 foot boards. Or I just use my trailer.

I do honestly wish I had the larger bed, but you get a fullsize crewcab with a fullsize bed, suddenly your truck is 3000 feet long and can't park anywhere. I do horribly miss my 2000 Tacoma

The long box crew cab is super handy, but you do need a strategy when parking. Its not bad in smaller cities, but I traveled to Vancouver with it a few months ago. LoL at underground condo parking. If I was able to leave depended on how the other cars were parked near me.

Took the Tundra to Ottawa. It was fine until downtown, aka 200 year plus old area. Streets are narrower, parking is tight, etc. That was painful.

I actually was going to get a Ford Supercrew longbox, but the wife veto'd it because it was so long she could never park it. I don't find them bad, but I grew up on a farm driving big trucks, so its not as bad for me. But I'll happily take my extra-comfortable room inside versus an extra foot of bed - our little utility trailer can haul everything the truck can't.

Truck talk: My Nissan Frontier has done exactly everything I have asked of it plus a little bit more. I can even park it comfortably in the underground parking next to BC Place. It is everything a person needs in a truck that doesn't have a 54' 5th wheel to haul or a 27' boat.

Having said that I hate trucks larger than a 1/2 ton unless there is a legit reason why you need it. But I can be unreasonable about this kind of thing, so grain of salt.

My tacoma was the same, honestly. But when it came time to get a new truck (in Salty-assed Ontario) I had my choices of:

a) Older used Tacoma/Ranger with horrible rust cancer, still 10k
b) Newer'ish used Tacoma for 23k
c) Same year Tundra for 27k with less miles, more room, and not a lot different gas mileage

I'd actual prefer a Tacoma/Frontier, but there's no Nissan's around here, and Tacoma's command a huuuuuuge premium (hunters and fishermen love the poo poo out of them).

Its large, its red, and its great, but I really do wish I could have found a Tacoma again for a reasonable price.

Well, any more than that it's basically worth it to just abandon it and throw away the money he paid for it and buy a new one from a local dealer which is (I think) somewhere in the $800ish range.

Hack together a ladder rack out of an old bedframe. If you can weld/have a friend that can weld, you can rig something up in an afternoon with $50 of scrap metal and a metal bedframe from the dump. I used one on my Taco for years, worked fantastic. You'd overhang the front/back, but you can strap it down well, and it will be legal. No longer than a canoe, anyways.

I think I am picturing what you are saying and I like it. My biggest concern though would be the 6' or so that would be over the cab. I might be a little concerned it would bend without support closer to the front.

Close to that, yeah. The one I built was really, really ghetto. Square steel tubing as "legs" that just sat on the bed of the truck. Welded to an old bed frame at the top. To hold it down, I just used ratchet straps looped around the corners and attached them to the anchor points in the corners of the truck bed. It also went forward over the cab for extra support - we made little support legs with padding on the bottom to keep it from scratching the roof of the truck.

Please see my advanced super-CAD drawing here:

The red is the padding. The whole thing was only a foot or so shorter than the truck. If the awning is a little "floppy", get some long pieces of lumber and plastic moving wrap, bind it all together for support, then slap it on the rack.

Albeit you likely know what I mean, this is the kind of bedframe we used - standard metal one. Pulled the "legs" off of it. If it's built to support people having sex, a canoe or ladder or RV awning ain't nothing :P

It is seriously ghetto, but it worked amazingly well. I did up corner supports, tie downs, etc. since mine stayed on for a few years, but for a quick trip, as long as your welds are good, you'd be golden.

I went on the wagon for 30 days back in November. Lost 10lbs without literally changing anything else in my diet or lifestyle. That lasted until Christmas.

However, I am positive if I were to lay off the booze and watched my sugars along with simple carbs I suspect it would be pretty dramatic.

I'm not a big anti-grain/carb person, but I found THIS BOOK to be fascinating.

e: I've done some googling and well known quacks like Mercola seem to be latching onto her book so that's making me think it might be too good to be true

Nah, there's a lot of validity to it. Problem is, like everything, people take what works for ~some~, and figure it must be true for ~all~. Wife and I went keto (or, well, just low carb - less than 50g/day for her, less than 30g/day for me) last spring. We both lost a ton of weight. We're back eating a little more than that (winter gets long and you run out of non-carby comfort foods), and haven't put back on more than mayyyyybe 5lbs each (if that). We're planning on getting pregnant soon, so we need to switch back to a more balanced diet, since there's just no good research on whether low-carb is safe during pregnancy or not. I think the biggest thing is that what we're eating is mostly whole-grain, not-overly-processed, and we're keeping portions down. Lots of butter and meat, lots of veggies, minimal starchy carbs. We have bread every now and then, we just make sure its whole-grain small-bakery without a bunch of added crap. Same with pasta. We don't touch rice much, but we'll see what we can find for "healthier" rice if we need to.
