    Build/overland/4x4 stuff: 1989 Raider, 2010 Sequoia, and other projects

    On to some accessorizing, or really just adding stuff I've had on the list since the last time night camping: electrical. First, when camping out of the back its inconvenient to not have USB power for my phone, etc. So ran some wire, drilled some holes in the lower bracket of the new shelf...

    Build/overland/4x4 stuff: 1989 Raider, 2010 Sequoia, and other projects

    Ok, now to finish up the rack. So a few things first: 1. I figured out exactly what kind of containers I want to use. I had initially planned to just use the stuff from walmart, but since I need to strap things down, those tend to be somewhat flexible. In my garage I have a number of a brand...

    Build/overland/4x4 stuff: 1989 Raider, 2010 Sequoia, and other projects

    With my parents in the middle of a major house move, they jumped the gun and did Christmas (and my birthday, if 47-year olds still get birthdays) early.

    Yeah, Old Rag is a great hike for sure! Used to go up there a lot back in the day. Good time of year for it too, especially with this strangely warm weather.

    Build/overland/4x4 stuff: 1989 Raider, 2010 Sequoia, and other projects

    So, jumping right into the present....last weekend's trip in the Raider. Andy set up another run to Wolf Den Run, but this time the intent was to do some harder lines than our prior visit, and some freshly-cleared trails (and map them, sine they're not mapped yet). As it turned out, a couple...

    Build/overland/4x4 stuff: 1989 Raider, 2010 Sequoia, and other projects

    So since I have my build threads on my various vehicles elsewhere, I'll just pick up here where I am on those, and post about various stuff I'm doing TO them and WITH them (admittedly less cool than the adventuring many of you do, but hopefully they'll improve! Here are a few relevant links if...

    For sure, they're hard to find around here too - most have rusted away. I built this one out of two - one with a rust-free frame/body that had a blown engine and automatic, and the other with a rebuildable engine/manual transmission....so basically built an ultra-rare SWB V6, Manual, with the...
