    Ah, I haven't see anything like that before. You could likely fashion something like that for relatively cheap.

    Thanks! I take pride in what I do, so I appreciate your appreciation for detail :tongueout: I am using 2 rubber bungees to attach them to my Thule load bars. I can take some photos later. I don't feel the need to keep them on the rig at all times to show off the "overlandingness" of the rig. I...

    I installed a Front Runner 45L water tank this weekend. Going on longer trips, sometimes in areas where water is less available lead me to wanting to have a reservoir system in the truck. Usually it's me, my girlfriend and dog on these camping trips. If we were less restrictive on water, I...

    After heading out on multiple trips, some with others some without, I decided that sliders would be a valuable addition to my 4Runner. Many people think that they're just for rock crawling rigs, but I started counting the number of times that something "could happen" to the rocker panels. On...

    This weekend I took some time to head into the Sierras off of I-80. I scheduled to have my sliders installed at 4x4 Labs on Monday in Grass Valley (more on that later) so I decided that I would head up Sunday morning to explore around an area that I had plotted out on a map, but have never...

    We then dispersed from camp and headed through the National Forest land, with the exit point being Highway 88, north of our location. We then came across a river that had an optional river crossing with an overhead bridge. Needless to day, we took the optional route. Woo hoo diff...

    TACOOOOOOOOO After finishing up a short run of the Deer Valley trail, we headed back down the mountain to the west to check on the Corral Hollow trail. We were stopped by snow at the trail head at the eastern entrance, and met the same story at the western entrance. So we moved to lower...

    Highway 4 to 88 - A weekend journey Now that the snow is melting in the Sierras, v_man [Vincent] and I decided that it would be good to head up to the hills off of Highway 4 to see what we could find. After a quick post on Expo, we had a group of guys for a 2 day 1 night trip. Driver/Rig...

    Yes it was! Great campsite, but if you go keep in mind to be as respectful to the signage and the campsite as possible. Rangers and the NFS are looking for reasons to close it off...

    Yeah that is on my list as well. I will probably do a small sub-panel in the spare tire tool area on the driver's side so I can tie hot wires into it. All great suggestions, I wish I would have seen this before haha. The rubber washer trick worked this time, but I will keep that in mind for...
