    Looking for recommendations for new tires.

    I am on my second set of Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. They are excellent in rain, snow, sand, and mud, and have an aggressive sidewall for airing down in those low traction situations. They are quite on pavement as well. Falken just came out with an upgrade, the Wildpeak AT4W, which I plan to buy when...

    Founding Principles: Name your favorite!

    My favorite founding principle is “adventure is necessary.” Adventure helps us develop self-sufficiency, resilience, and adaptability to change. It also helps with emotional regulation, and a sense of well-being. Seeking adventure can also be a factor in achieving self-actualisation. Did you...

    Looking for recommendations for new tires.

    I am on my 2nd set of Falken Wildpeak AT3W. They look great, are ruggedly built, and are excellent in mud, sand, snow, and loose rock. Falken have a new model out, the AT4W. When it is time for my 3rd set, I will get those.

    Headliner Patch Pics

    I am taking my son to Buttercup Valley, where they filmed the Jabba sail barge scene, as part of his high school graduation trip next year. Where did you get the cool Tatooine patch?

    Headliner Patch Pics

    I like to get a patch for every adventure my 4Runner has taken me on. My favorite is my Eagle Scout badge. Number 2 is the Snoopy & Woodstock camping scene because it reminds me of “father-son awesomeness” out on the trail. Number 3 is the glow-in-the-dark patch from the Land Cruiser Heritage...

    L-tracks on Gobi racks

    I am thinking about upgrading my tie down points on my Gobi stealth rack. I am currently using FrontRunner strachtits and stainless steel D-rings to secure my Plano cases to the roof. I heard about Mac’s Custom Tiedowns and now I am thinking about installing L-tracks on the roof. Do any of you...

    They Doug, this is David Harden. You met my son Alan and I at Expo West 21 and we boondocked in Sedona afterward. We recently moved from Tampa to Tucson and just got back from Expo West 23. How are things going? If you are ever in southern AZ, give me a ring and we can go blaze a trail.

    OB coordinate system

    How do you use the three-letter coordinate system? I can't remember what video I saw Mike mention it, but I have looked on this site and cannot find any explanation. One you have a 3-word coordinate, how do you use it to find a campsite?

    Clay responded to one of my posts on XO's YouTube page. If you check out Garmin's website, you can find the video of Rufio, and someone posted photos of Apollo on this forum.

    4Runner Owners Registry

    In my opinion, voodoo blue and calvary blue are the best colors. Ever... If only Toyota had offered them for the 4th gen 4Runner.
