If the ARB ones don't work, give Greg at Gzila a shout. He has several clamps on his site that come in different sizes that are made for doing exactly what you want. He's at the FJSummit right now so I wouldn't try to contact him for the next week, but his products are excellent...

That place is a lot of fun. It was the first place I did some real wheeling and I was pleasantly surprised with what my then mostly stock rig was capable of. There's hills there that test every vehicle, especially if it's been raining out. Only down side is you have to clean the hell out of...

Being FWD I would say some Maxtrax and a winch would be on the top of my list for that vehicle. Make sure you have recovery points, because you're going to need them. If you have a hitch, something like the hitch shackle would be ideal. Normally I would say have a rear bumper with a spare and...

Ace Cafe does a 4x4 meet once a month, third Wednesday of the month I believe. It would be pretty cool to get an entire parking lot full of overland rigs. The have a full food menu and bar as well, so it would be like old school Hooters car meets, without the terrible food. The place is right...

I ended up getting a few spots at the KOA in east Asheville with the river directly behind me and the lake in front of me. I booked 3 spots for the group. If any of you end up staying there let me know and we'll link up once there.

I paid for the camping and everything, but this is why I'm also booking off site. If I pull up on that Friday and there's this sea of vehicles like this there's no way I'll be staying there. especially if folks are bringing kids and pets as I would expect them to. I think it would be pretty...

Since you've been, I'll ask you. I bought my tickets but see no place to book classes. Are they held on a first come, first serve basis or will they allow us to sign up for classes once it gets closer and they have a schedule? There are some things I really would really like to do.

I haven't decided yet. I may be traveling with my buddy up and joining a convoy or I might be soloing up a few days in advance and seeing some friends on the way. As we get closer I'll know. I'm probably not camping on site either. After seeing pictures from last year I know the wife will...

Did you watch the one and read the article I linked? That should have given you a good idea.

Last week I had my last two purchases come in. OrangeBoxxx made me a fold down rear door made to work with my toolbox, and I finally got my badge. Up next I'll be ordering the Slee Offroad ARB bumper LED light brackets. I have the lights mounted now, but they look pretty unfinished...

After looking around and reading a lot of reviews like this one https://expeditionportal.com/the-big-chill-overland-journals-cooler-test/ I chose a Canyon Cooler. I used it all last year, taking a few extended road trips and a lot of days on the beach. It worked as described and at that time...

Good luck everyone! I've never won anything, but this RTT upgrade would be awesome, and my dad would get my old tent. Win/win.

That's a heck of a set-up. I'm going to be getting the full package for my wife and I, but I'm also getting a camping spot off location just in case for my vehicle and my parents. I asked the same question on Expedition Portal and some of the folks there thought it might not be a bad idea as...

I'll be driving the FJ up from central Florida along with my buddy who's bringing his 17 TRDPro Tacoma. Neither of us have ever been, but we're looking forward to checking out all the rigs and vendors.

Installed right on the back door.

Mine wasn't real big into it either. We had an honest discussion about what it would take to make her comfortable and we found that all she really needed was to be off the ground, with a comfy bed, and access to a real bathroom and shower. OK, simple enough. In came a RTT (oh no, an excuse to...

I don't know if you have an REI near you, but I was just in on yesterday, it's the first one built anywhere near me. They were telling me that as part of a promotion if you sign up as a new customer ($20) you get a dividend at the end of the year of 10% of what you spend, and 20% off your first...

I've found that toothpaste and a hard bristle tooth brush can be good for a lite polishing of metal. Maybe that would be enough to get your badge cleaned up. My badge should be in tomorrow (got delayed in shipping somewhere) and I plan to plastidip it to match my other badges.

Tent camping for sure. I've done enough sleeping in vehicles, and unless I have to, I don't want to do any more. My RTT has been excellent, although I like to ground tent as well. The advantage to the RTT is my wife will go with me, which for me is a bonus. She wasn't big on the idea of...
