    4Runner Freaks: New Trail or New Pro?

    @Steve and @stringtwelve - Thanks for responding! Before I put all the work into my current 4Runner, I headed out to all of the forums and read up on what you actually got out of each trim level - found out that they took the locking diff out of the SR5 - and decided that I was going to get...

    SEMA 2016

    Depends on where life takes me... I'm looking at two new job prospects - one of which would take me to the Expo, possibly as an exhibitor.

    4Runner Freaks: New Trail or New Pro?

    Tribe, My mind is starting to stir and I am thinking about buying a new 4Runner for next year. (Major changes at work may put me back on the road, and afford such luxuries.) Because of all the shifting around of features and functions, the only two models I am looking at are the Trail and the...

    Does it all come down to tires?

    My first truck, when I was 17, was a 1985 Chevy S10... I started off-roading with it while we were driving it home from where I bought it. I did okay out on the trail, but when I put some General Grabber's on there - I really started moving (while starting the ongoing process of learning how to...

    Camp stoves

I'll know more once I start using it more. I've been using Coleman grills...

    SEMA 2016

    I've only got this one as I had the girls with me. My three year old would be all for it - but I wasn't hauling my 5 months old around in her baby carrier. BUT, the story goes that the house that used to be on the hill above it was owned by the president of our local power company. In his...

    SEMA 2016

    Never made it to SEMA! Delta screwed up my flight royally (Well, not just mine - for everyone on that plane headed to Vegas) and by the time everything got sorted out either every other airline was booked solid or there just wasn't another flight that could get me out there before the end of the...

    Campground costs

    I've got this park ranger at Coolidge State Park that just. does. not. like. me... I don't know what I did to the guy, but we've stayed there 20-30 times and every time there's a bit of a confrontation. I digress.

    EDC Pocket Organizer

    I'm excited to try it out. I carry a few different tools on me and in my pack that I would like easy access to - so I see this being a benefit in my day to day life and easily being transferred to my life outdoors. Details to follow!!!

    EDC Pocket Organizer

    Tribe, I'm always looking out to see if there's a way I can improve my experience out on the trail, in my day to day life - whatever. Organization is big for me - I like for there to be a place for everything - and that ethos is especially true for my pockets and pack. So, anyway, I was...

    3D Printed FJ Grille Overland Bound Badge Mount

    @Tom K thanks for doing this! I have some experience with 3D printing and depending on what material these are being made out of, they may need to be soaked and hardened before being put into play - or they can break down from the elements or just from being bounced around; in which your badge...

    Snow - To Chain Or Not To Chain

    I was out to Yosemite about 6-7 years ago, and everyone was required to have chains - no matter what vehicle, drive train, or tires you had. I don't know how wide-spread this was. I echo @expeditionnorth in regards to Vermont: I can't get to my cabin or leave it depending on the snowfall. At...

    How to Start a Fire - Collected Wisdom

    I have a basket of empty toilet paper rolls by our clothes dryer and I fill them up while I'm down there doing laundry. Our fires smell like the Snuggle bear... I usually store them in a paper bag inside a dry bag. And I never go anywhere without my JetBoil... I used to use it at work to heat...
