Ever tried cooking on a slanted stove? Not great. We built a simple leveling stove platform out of ABS plastic and a handful of M5 hardware so we can dial in a perfectly level surface no matter where we park.
You know the drill — you've got a free weekend and two possible spots, and you're bouncing between NOAA tabs trying to figure out which one will actually be good. I got tired of that, so I built Roam Weather — a free app that lets you save all your go-to locations and see their forecasts side by side, scored against your activity.
I recently completed an epic off-roading trip to the Maze District in Canyonlands, Utah, with my 2024 Tacoma Off Road (non-hybrid) equipped with a Tune M1 truck camper. If you're planning a similar adventure, here's what you can expect for gas mileage and travel time.
We've owned our Tune M1 for 1 year, we've driven over 20,000 miles, and spent over 80 nights in it, including a 6-week-long remote working trip. Let's review what we love about it, and what could be better!
The Digital Rearview Mirror Camera Redirect from GG Offroad seems to be having some issues with the heat.
I previously used the incorrect faucet connection, which resulted in a not-perfect seal and a very tiny leak when the water was turned on. It's really tough to find a hose barb to 1/2 NPS connection - key letter being the "S" in NPS, which means straight thread. There's lots of connectors for NPT, which is tapered, but faucets use straight threads (sealed by a rubber gasket / washer).
I have the Seaflo 21 Series water pump in my camper, connected to a LiFePO4 battery (which is up to 14.4V when fully charged or charging), and it was NOISY. It sounded like a jackhammer.
I just installed the "~1.5" taller" TOY-F-M-4GT front coil springs from Alldogs: https://www.alldogsoffroad.com/alld...t-lift-coil-springs-for-4th-gen-toyota-tacoma
Tune made some new rust-proof latches! If you have the old style and have surface rust, contact their customer support. The newer Tune's already ship with these. They shipped out a new set of latches to me for free, including shipping the rivet gun necessary to replace it. They would have also worked with me to get them replaced if I didn't want to do it myself! Great customer service!
Many people notice a super subtle, high-pitched squeak from their Tune M1 when going over bumps or even closing their car doors.
