You can store a great deal in the rack on the rear of the turret, and the steel storage boxes on the sides. The hull has boxes for tools etc.

Another Hampton Roads member here. We went to the Appalachian Toyota Roundup last weekend and will go to the Overland Expo in October. We're skipping the James River Rooftop Tent Rally this year, but we had fun last year and will go again next year. On 18 September there will be a Coastal...

No CPAP usage, but my wife and I have been using our Jackery 500 for a year now. A few observations: 1. 500 wh is quite a bit of juice. With the vehicle shut down and a fridge drawing current, it drops from 100% to 84% overnight. 2. It lacks a USB-C output and therefore can't recharge an...

I have a fridge slide from DFG Offroad that I will be mounting to a Goose Gear plate system. I see two approaches - drill new holes through the Goose Gear plate and insert threaded T-Nuts to match the six holes already in the slide, or drill new holes through the DFG slide to use the existing...

I was "influenced" in the direction of a Turtleback until I saw that thread a couple months ago. He describes poor engineering, poor QC, poor customer support... I wish Schutt would start taking orders again.

No personal experience - I have a dual swing replacement rear bumper on order. But from the discussions on toyota-4runner.org, Rigd makes a very sturdy product, without the wobbles that some of their competitors seem to have.

You could put the light stuff on a roof rack, and use a Rigd Ultraswing for a set of Rotopax. Pretty expensive, though.

https://mdhca.org/store/books Mojave Road Guide $19.95, The other four are $100 for the set. Plus shipping - $25 or so.

My wife and I should arrive at the Roundup on Thursday evening, staying in the camping area in a Gazelle. First time at this event.

I was being quite sarcastic. West Coast voters like everything more expensive.

Run your winch line over a tree branch and hoist your jeep 30 feet up in the air?

Ahh. Makes sense now. Effective replacement.

There was no way to simply rig carriage bolts, fender washers, and eye nuts through the Gobi Rack, and strap the boxes directly to the Gobi Rack?

I guess the west coast voters chose higher energy costs in order to ensure lower property taxes, income taxes, housing costs, and a lower cost of living overall. Makes sense, I guess.

One thing that has increased is the splits between regular-mid-premium. They used to be 10 cent jumps. Now the jumps are usually 30 cents per step. Looking at octane levels of 87-89-93, if you are looking for 89 octane it's worth it to mix 1/3 premium and 2/3 regular and save a few cents per...

Oklahoma was $0.79.9 in 1997 when I bought our F150. You can find gas under $2.70 in rural Virginia today. $2.74 at the Walmart in Norfolk.

Go with one of each, with the spot in front of the driver.

Going from 12 to 15 mpg will save about 17 gallons per thousand miles. That's about $55 per thousand miles. Assuming $2500 for the re-gear, that's about 45,000 miles.

2000 miles at 15mpg burns 133 gallons. 2000 miles at 12 mpg burns 167 gallons. Is 34 gallons of gas - just over a hundred dollars - really a factor on a 2000 mile adventure? It would take a lot of miles to pay for the gear change, if it would even help. Increasing engine RPMs would help...
