Yeah man! Mine is for a land cruiser 80 model. Looks like the one I got is unavailable right now but from my research any LC 80 model snorkel will fit pretty close. TMS Snorkel Air Ram Intake Kit for 90-97 Toyota 80 Series Land Cruiser / Lexus Lx450 The thing is, it fits close. It does not...

Now that I have tires, I've got pics I'm proud of. Sort of wish I had a little less rake, but I'm living with it, because I know my rear is going to get heavier as I continue this build, and my rake will improve.

thanks! I'm happy with it. Agreed on the traction boards. FWIW, I honestly can't afford a set of 4 maxtrax, but that aside, there's no point in worrying about height of gear on my rack as long as the RTT is up there. Our longer-term plan is to get the RTT off the rack completely, and onto...

Got new shoes installed. Cooper ST MAXX's in 255/80/17. And barely stuffed my spare back into the stock location. I see a rear bumper or hitch mounted tire carrier in this rig's future. Rides GREAT. Need to do the chalk test to dial in the tire pressure, and need to get the alignment...

Aaaand the rig itself. Tent stays on the roof rack full time, as well as the Plano case sitting at the front of the roof rack, containing recovery and tire tools. Note on security: since this stays on the rig full time, the Plano case is bolted to the crossbars. You can just see one of...

We’re getting started! Just going to snap pictures as we go through the day and share what we’re doing. Here’s what we’re starting with! We got our shed and most of our gear organized over the past few weeks, so this morning we’re just pulling everything out. Once everything is laid out...

Sup guys! Thought I'd share our weekend with you guys as we get started on it. Basically, I read a random comment on here a while back, where an ex-military dude said he remembered spending DAYS packing and re-packing humvees before missions, simply working on perfectly finalizing their loadout...

What did you install for your lift? That seems quite high compared to most of the lifted 5th gens I've seen. Or maybe its just that you still have the stock tire size and it makes it look big? Post up some more pics when you're done!

I bought 5 of these bad boys for the rig..... Got a great deal on them too....with prime free shipping, this is a solid $20 less than any other tire distributor's price for the 255/80/17. ALSO cooper is doing a $70 rebate for any purchase of 4 tires in the month of October. I can finally...

I would not do a Tacoma. We had a tacoma with 2 dogs, and it was already feeling very very tight. Then we had a baby. And got a ton of fun new gear. I can't imagine even a double cab long bed tacoma like we had working WELL and COMFORTABLY for 2 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs. I'd go crew...

Unless wood is wet, absolutely no need to use liquid fuel. Lighter pine (or fat wood or pine knots -people call it different things) have a natural amount of turpentine in them. A few twigs of that split very small will burn for a good 5 minutes. Long enough to get small and medium size twigs...

Yep, if you aren't using it for a RTT, I'd say the 3/4 rack still has quite a lot of usable space. I can't imagine using all of my full legnth prinsu rack if I didn't have the RTT on top full time. If you don't have a solid plan for how you're using your rack yet, I'd suggest looking at some...

Are you putting a rtt up there? If so then you might want to cancel that order and go full length instead. If not, you’ll probably be fine. Love the front runner racks, you made a good choice.

Just my opinion in general about roof racks. I have a prinsu (no options for subaru i believe). Its good, but I don't love the lack of side mounting options, or the lack of accessories in general. Also, I like roof racks that are sturdy and have a lot of rails. After doing more and more...

Hadn’t heard of this guy until this weekend when the video popped up in my YouTube playlist. I think he did a bang up job of being cool headed though. He even had the presence of mind to NOT use all of his water trying to put out the fire. That point in particular impressed me. That would...

Have you considered some type of tie downs? Those are pretty big, heavy tools to be floating around your rig if there’s an accident. I keep anything bigger than my backpack or a jacket tied down when it’s in the rig. The tool box and other stuff I keep in the rear is strapped down. Don’t want...

Good point. Wheel chock too. I actually never use a wheel chock and this is a reminder I really should. My dad made the mistake of disconnecting his driveshaft on his f250, while on a slight incline, without the wheels chocked. It rolled backwards over him, caught his leg under the frame...

When I don't know whats next, that's when I stop spending money on the rig, and spend money on gas instead to go places with it. Do your few trips, and guaranteed you'll know what you want to spend that money on after you've spent some time just using what you've got!

Totally agree. I’ve often offered to “help” people like this but while many people feel the freedom to ask me if I’ll change their oil for them, very few take me up on my offer of “my driveway, tools, and finger pointing while they learn to swing the wrench themselves”. The couple of times I...

@Paulo Filho one more thing, I just noticed you're in San Francisco. Have you checked out any nearby OB groups? I know OB has quite a few groups in Cali, not sure exactly where, but I'm pretty sure there's a pretty good local representation out west. Go and check out those local regional...
