    New affordable lite RTT option coming to soon!

    A lot of people in the States are starting to sell RTT like these from China. Honestly seems like they are getting great reviews! There is a group buy on T4R.org for hard shell RTT’s right now. Kinda makes me second guess spending 2x as much. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Rock sliders - paint, powdercoat or linex???

    I went with podercoat. The process and finished product was outstanding. I really liked the texture (gives the kiddos some extra grip)and they blend in well with the rocker trim on the 4Runner. For me the finish had to be as functional as the sliders themselves or my wife won’t have it. Lol...

    Cooler vs Fridge: Which is right for you?

One day I'll get a fridge for the rig but for now my cooler setup does the trick. I also have a yeti Hopper 30. The hopper fits perfectly behind the seat for...

I agree with you and am sticking with everyone who is interested in a 7.3 including dealers know that the 7.3 market is stable. The only known issue those trucks have...

    You are right concerning the newer models but that wont change prices of the near 17 year old 7.3's. Just like when Toyota had the brake pedal/mat issues. It didn't effect the sales of 4runners, Tacomas, FJ's. Edit: Dealers use this as ammo to take advantage of people. The 7.3 market is stable.

    Im not sure that will affect the prices of the 7.3L. They are pretty stout and worth 10-15k any day of the week. The 7.3 is in a class of it's own. Its called Bad ass! LOL OPs truck is built with Icons and ready for the trail! I still vote let the Jeep go and drive the Ford

    Hello, I've always been an overlander by mountain bike and have always driven 4x4s and camped so I thought it would be a good idea to dab into overlanding. I'm interested in 1-3 day weekend warrior trips around the Southwest for starters. I picked up this lil gem a few months ago from the...
