    4x4 Training Off Road instruction (SoCal) - any reviews?

    Thanks for the insight - exactly what I was looking for. I'll definitely take a look at Bills website! Without knowing all that many people just yet who are into or as eager to go out and explore I definitely feel like a course is the way to go to gain a little bit of confidence. Thanks again

    4x4 Training Off Road instruction (SoCal) - any reviews?

    http://www.4x4training.com/ Hey guys, I happened across this website that offers intro training courses for all things 4wd. They even have a few recovery specific courses. A bit on the pricey side and I'm sure I'd learn just about as much by going out with some OB members but for someone...

    Baja-Rack for 5th Gen 4runner

    What swayed me towards the Prinsu over the Frontrunner was the aesthetics of the full length versions- which I felt the Prinsu wins. To me, the full length Frontrunner was just too much of a flat top cargo pallet look as it was originally designed to be a 3/4th fit but the Prinsu has the...

    Top Rig Mods Under $25

    I've got both the center console/arm rest organizers from Salex - and they are great! Adds much needed organization to what would otherwise be a disaster since the compartment is just one huge area. http://www.salexorganizers.com/ Also, I've recently installed a Scosche Magic Mount on my...

    Communications for the Beginner

    Thanks for the tip here - I'm new to the world of off road communication as well, and I see the BaoFeng UV-5R as a frequently mentioned pick...The GT3 seems like a more robust option, would you be able to explain some of the differences? I'll be likely using FRS short distance from vehicle to...

    Roof top tent vs ground tent

    I'm dreaming of a James Baroud, but realistically I'm looking at a Ozark Trail easy setup ground tent that some of the guys are going on about from Walmart. Hard to beat for $100! The other half isn't the most keen on camping at all yet...so we'll see haha!

    Gobi Shipping Times

    While I was doing my roof rack research I constantly read and heard the same things about Gobi/Trail Duty. I left two seperate voicemails for them, and never heard back... Looks like people do end up receiving their racks, but it just takes quite a while and communication is hit or miss. I...

    Baja-Rack for 5th Gen 4runner

    Congrats on the RTT! Definitely on my list of future purchases. I've read a lot about quality issues on the BajaRacks - specifically for the 5th Gen 4Runners. The Gobi seems to be the most popular option, and as @Steve mentioned there is a GB going on now at T4R. But of course with Gobi the...

    New Jeep coming to the garage!

    I love the Trailhawks !! - congrats on the order, I really hope they get their stuff straightened out soon. I work with a lot of dealerships for work purposes and the worst, by far are the Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep stores. For example I've been dealing with a Challenger with an engine replacement...
