    Air compressors

    I have a portable Vaiar 440P that hooks up to the battery terminals and it works great for airing up my 33” tires from 15psi back up to 32psi. The drawback is unpacking the compressor from the tailgate, hooking it up to the battery and then repacking the compressor (after waiting for it to cool...

    2016 4Runner Trail Premium suspension question

    As a Jeep guy, I have a good understanding of the difference between a stock and lifted Jeep. As the new owner of a 2016 4Runner Trail Premium, I’m still learning. I’m running 275 55R20 and have about 11” of ground clearance. Any help or insight is appreciated with what I’ve got here. Thanks...

    Off road trailer build.

    So the framing is square. Thought that might’ve been a design choice (air flow or something like that).

    What is your absolute favorite modification you've made to your rig?

    Actually, I USED to be a Glock guy. I’m now all 1911s. I forgot the sticker was on there.

    Off road trailer build.

    So, the metal framing is slightly lower in the front? I assume you level the RTT for sleeping using the drop leg if that is in fact the case.

    So we picked up our 2016 4Runner Trail Premium today and it’s finally sitting in our driveway. Probably hook up my CDN M101 trailer this week and see how that goes. As I’ve said in another post, I’m not a fan of the 20” wheels and the running boards are probably gonna have to go. Other than...

    Name brand vs non name brand

    With just about everything I will go with a name brand to support a company that innovates instead of one that counterfeits.

    DIY Solar Shower

    Another concern would be the effect of UV on PVC since the purpose of a “solar” shower is to stick it out in the sunlight to heat up. Out here in the desert, the effect of UV light from the sun a readily apparent. Plastic lawn furniture lasts a year or two before it becomes brittle. The same...

    5th gen 4Runner on 20” rims question

    That’s what I was thinking. I think I’ll run these until I need to replace tires and go with something smaller. Thanks.

    5th gen 4Runner on 20” rims question

    As a lifted Jeep TJ Rubicon guy I am used to running on 305 70R16s. That gives me plenty of rubber to air down. I recently bought a 2016 4Runner Trail Premium that has aftermarket 20” rims with 275 55R20 BFG ATs. The rims actually look pretty good but I’m not thrilled that they are 20s. I’m not...

    4Runner Owners Registry

    When I met my wife in 2008 she was driving a 2005 Lexus ES 330. It has served her well and now has just over 290k miles. As she has talked about replacing her vehicle I tried to nudge her toward something a little more capable off-road. She kept talking about a Grand Cherokee which I was not...

    So...we added another overlanding vehicle to the family

    My wife’s 2005 Lexus ES330 has served her well with just over 290k miles, but it was time to let it go. We have thought about this for a couple of years and with what to replace it. I wanted something “capable” and it looks like she finally came around to my way of thinking. A buddy works over...
