Batteries + has their own line of X2 Power Batteries which, as far as I know, are rebranded NorthStar AGM at a significant discount. It's a dual purpose deep/start cycle battery. I just got one for my aux position after my die hard platinum marine pooped out, but might not be a bad battery to...

Nice. Utah forced us to get a propane fire ring awhile back due to campfire restrictions and my stove came with an adapter for those larger tanks. We still carry the green ones for backup or when he fire ring isn't needed, but it's convenient having everything off one fuel source. I imagine...

A bespoke monogrammed umbrella from England for my brother.. oh and a Frontrunner!

Hey just curious, what headlights are those?

Dang, good work man! I read that review as well. I'm curious what load rating your coopers are and what kind of failures they had? As far as recommendations, in my experience MT's really suck on the road, especially in rain and snow (no better way of saying it). I thought my KM2's were ok...

Dug up some old photos from my retrofit, now I want to go drive the cruiser haha. To the OP, I'll reiterate my recommendation to not waste money on HID bulbs in your factory housings, if you're going to do it save up for a proper retrofit, either DIY or hire a pro. It's a hands-on mod so if you...

Oh for sure, my post was not meant to be in response to yours, I was simply replying to the OP's initial inquiry. Your retro looks great I'd be super happy with that. Retrofitting the 80 housings is a pain cause they're so shallow, there was a lot of custom dremmeling involved to get mine to...

Anyone who knows anything about lighting will tell you not to put hid bulbs in a reflector housing. When I bought my 80 the previous owner had installed a cheap hid kid, just the bulbs and ballasts into the factory houisngs. Shortly after owning it one ballast went out so I swapped regular...

I would recommend taking this time to plan out some overall storage options. Questions I'd ask , if you haven't already, would be if you're planning on running a sliding fridge tray and how the various trays on the market would fit in your vehicle. One model/size may fit better than others...

This was on their website, sure does look like a good candidate for an OB member.. somebody should track him down for a review.

My only concern would be bumping into it when coming around the side of the vehicle.. depending on tire size it could be kind of low for a table. I guess I'd have to see one first. Those pretzels look good though.

Big fan of Frontrunner because they're flat and incredibly universal. Love the folding table that slides underneath as well. I've had gobi products well which are good but they're very expensive for a steel tube rack. They have that classic expo looks. There's a dude in Orange County I believe...

I'm glad to see that they've finally incorporated the sport bar down the sides of the windshield into the dash.. should help provide cabin security in a rollover event.

You want to keep an eye on the gross vehicle weight specified by the manufactuerer.. the GVWR listed above at 5400 lbs. That's the max overall weight Toyota approves for your model, including passengers and cargo. I think typically you just split the number by 4x to give you your needed load...

I've considered a 12v electric blanket and a portable power supply. Would probably be a good write up if somebody wanted to do a current draw test so we can approximate how long we can power them off a given source. I'm a big fan of up-rating sleeping bags. Just because the bag will keep you...

Maybe throw some photo's up so we can all see exactly what you're dealing with? I'm curious about the custom bed-rack, some of them out there are really crummy, especially considering the prices that are charged. How's AZ right now anyways, I lived in Tucson for 7-years and heard it's pretty...

I'd agree with this. I think most folding rtt's use a type of honeycomb-core aluminum floor which should spread the forces out pretty well, but I could see a backing plate on the inside of the tent being a good idea, you don't want the bolt head punching through the inside of the tent floor. We...

Well shoot. That pic you posted looks like it'd work, functionally it's the same. I suppose you could use a cutdown section of aluminum rail from the tent manufacturer too.. they're all just bolted through the floorboard anyways. Just as an FYI, the ARB brackets use three bolts at the...

I'm totally building a Tremors truck after I finish my Rover project. That Jeep reminds me more of Jo's truck from Twister though, with the lights and paint, equally awesome. So I watch a lot of movies lol.. good finds!

Don't quote me on me on this, but I believe the higher load rated tires require more pressure when loaded near or at their capacity, however if someone has Load-E for instance on an empty pickup they can safely run a lower pressure because the tires aren't deforming as much. Deformation, from...
