Too soon to commit for sure. I'll post again after the 17th.

2 camping and wheeling weekends in 2 weeks, but this will probably be the last until October. Temperatures during the day are just getting too hot down here now. We were worn out by Sunday morning.

I'm in barring a last minute change at home.

I open for any of those weekends unless incoming in-laws visit cancels me. Right now all we know is they are coming sometime in June.

It doesn't seem like much load behind the 4Runner, but I do have to be careful with driving like a sports car. At only 5'7" of track width it has a high CG with the tent up there. It didn't get tippy on me but it sure looked close a couple times on off camber stuff getting the mile and a half...

The trailer setup worked very well for the weekend at Jambo. everything you see in the camp came out of the trailer, and I was able to keep the load in the 4Runner down to recovery gear and coolers. As a bonus I scored a Foxwing style awning (strapped on the roof rack) that I will be adding to...

I got the RTT mounted today. With 4 weeks to spare for Lone Star Toyota Jamboree. A little fine detailing on the inside and it should be done.

The trailer build continues with fits and starts. Last night and today I installed 4 stabilizing/leveling jacks. They should keep the trailer from rocking or shaking too much when I'm rolling around in the RTT. I'm piddling around with the interior layout a little bit. I'm trying to decide if...

Look up http://www.4x4lifeoffroad.com/about.html . I've been out there with them once. Good group of guys and they won't make you do anything you aren't comfortable with. They do guided trips on Sundays on an old deer lease property. They're about an hour north of you near the Ms border. I keep...

I have a HUGE homemade swing set made of 4x4 lumber that will do the job for hoisting. My intention is to use the same crossbars (80/20 Inc) between the trailer and 4Runner roof rack so I can simply remove 12 bolts and swap between them. I'll probably get the same welder who did the axle work to...

Welcome to the forum. Nice Cherokee. I'm also a member of ArkLaTex Off Road which is loosely based out of Shreveport. Look us up on Facebook if you'd like.

I got the spare mounted this weekend and boxed in the inside of the box with a 2x4 frame to give a little more support for myself and the RTT. I'm still cogitating on how exactly to mount the RTT so it can be s simple swap between the 4Runner and the trailer for different trip needs.

Got the trailer spring over axle swap done earlier this week. It did as I hoped and leveled the trailer with the 4Runner. I've decided to frame the inside of the box with 2x4 lumber to provide a little more support for the tent and myself. It won't affect inside storage space and will give me a...

It's been a kind of busy last month. I bought a 4x6' enclosed cargo trailer in mid January. I plan to relocate the RTT to that so I can use it as a base camp for the vast majority of 4 wheeling weekends I do. First mod will be a spring over axle swap which will require welding new spring saddles...

I'm up in Leesville, but would be willing to drive as far as Lafayette if my schedule permits. @[15159:@Bulldog22] look up 4x4 Off Road Life. It's a group based out of The BR/Lafayette area that does guided rides on an old deer lease property up near the Mississippi state line. I've been there...

Ah, ain't opinions wunnerful? Lol

How about the best of both worlds? Hefty Fabworks, in collaboration with Southern Style Off Road, has just released an aluminum version of the SSO Slimline Hybrid front bumper. http://www.heftyfabworks.com/store/#!/2014+-4Runner-Slimline-Bumper-Aluminum/p/95015226/category=13441649
