    I've got a frontrunner rack. Love the extensions they have and way less noise than the basket rack I had before.

    Yeah sounds like a stuck caliper to me. Good luck the 4runner is pretty easy on that regard though

    Does it pull hard one direction while you're driving? I had one go out on me at about 120k. Replaced it with reman callipers and the r1 concept kit, pads and rotors. Pretty nice kit for the price.

    Well I'm hovering around 13 with the tent on, I usually don't leave it on, but that's also in pretty bad traffic. I'm running 255 80 17s with a decent amount of weight in extra stuff.

    Anza-Borrego/ Joshua tree

    Theres BLM land on either entrance of Joshua tree, though I like the spots on the northern end better. Sounds like a fun trip.

    Rock sliders - paint, powdercoat or linex???

    If you plan on using, them there isn't a paint out there that will with stand being dragged on rocks. So you'll already be touching them up with paint anyways

    Relay Control using Raspberry PI

    It occurred to me that you could use the Bluetooth chip on the raspberry pi itself to communicate with a phone or tablet. Youll also have to find a relay that takes 3.3 volts input because that's what the GPIO pins put out. You could use a transistor too boost to 12 volts and connect it to a...

    Actually, there are a few more making that size now a days. I know you can get the Nitto ridge grapplers in that size ( what I'm about to get) I think the km3s come in that size as well. Still limited but they're definitely getting more popular

    Hmm I'm in a 4th gen and most people just take out the xreas system from their rigs and put in aftermarket suspension lifts. I'm sure you could do the same, but not sure

    Another camping drawer/slide out project (Jeep JK)

    I did something very similar with my first drawer build where I left a slot for a folding table. Have you had any bowing issues with the cooler fully loaded? That forced me to redesign without the vacancy below.

    I'm pretty sure the limited still has the rear locker? So not the worst choice, but you might be paying a premium for some fake chrome accents.

    Time lapsed build thread

    I'm actually thinking about switching to an Android auto unit and running the USB c cable to little tray where the outlet is by the gear shift. So we'll see how long that unit stays in there.

    If your model comes stock with the factory camera, then you use a transistor that bucks the 12 volts down to 6 volts for the Toyota camera. Then you splice the video data line and ground from the factory wire harness to an aux video cable and plug it into the back of the head unit.
