  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    What happened to all the true adventurers?

    I can see where the original OP had point, based on his thoughts about the social media aspect of it. While I would like to sympathize with it, I think it was a mountain, made out of a molehill. As many have chimed in with, the situation he describes will sort itself out with the social media...

    Fire extinguisher

    Looks similar to the ones they use in South Africa (SA). I saw a similar one on 4x Overland with Andrew, and his friend Paul, who runs a Overland rental Company. I think they also carry a small conventional, that has unexpired inspection tags, because Border Guards sometimes do not recognize...

    2013 Land Cruiser build

    I went back and did a little research. The Factor 55 product I Need is the FLATLINK-E (Expert). This is the one that will accept my 3/8" winch cable. Retail $168.00, factory direct is $159.00, so you save a little money. It is the only product they reference for that size cable with the...

    2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro.

    Have you watched....on you tube.....SEEK ADVENTUE...with Michael. Living in Australia, a bit of distance is involved with many of his adventures. He has a great take on more is not better. Especially a light bar on top. Ronnie Dahl, and others have also touched on the aspect of overkill, light...

    US West OVERLAND EXPO WEST 2019, 3RD ANNUAL CONVOY 40

    You too have experienced that little gem. It's all about timing. Hour, day of the week, and....luck. I will be looking for feedback after the convoy pulls out of Kingman. ,Not wishing any drama, but if it hapoens, a update would be appreciated. If I whistled DIXIE then give me a denozo head...

    2013 Land Cruiser build

    Will another brand fit? Expedition Overland uses ARB on the front, I don't know if the ones they use on the Land Cruisers rear is an ARB. They run a dual fuel/Container box on their swing out carrier. I sure have got deep in this thread. Thanks for all the build updates. I'm sure many who are...

    2013 Land Cruiser build

    Which FACTOR 55 is that. With my 17,500k Smittybilt, I need the one that will accept a 3/8 inch wire rope. I believe they only make one that fits, and it's not the thimble or the super duper ultra hook? It could be the one you have , I just don't remember the model designation. Also,.....what...

    2013 Land Cruiser build

    I LIKE IT. Seriously, it's a night and day difference. My prior inquiry about spare tire placement was based on a earlier reply/question about mounting the tire on the...pivot...side, and not across on the end of the swing arm. This due to torque from the weight exerted by the tire. On the...

    Let us see that rear ARB bumper in all it's glory:blush: By the camera install pic(closed), i see you mounted it on the left, but the interior hatch shot makes it look like it's on the right?. Looks like a 'dual' Jerry-Can holder on it?

    From a Dr's street queen, to a OB go rig. I like the racks wind deflector also. The ICON resi hoses look very close to rubbing. Have you cycled the suspension looking for interference?

    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    Those last 2 years of the 7.3 had all the problems worked out. My old man secretly went out and bought a new 2003 f250 king ranch. At the time FORD still in mid year offered a power train choice. YAH, he choose the New engine for the New body style. Luckily not to many problems. 2 injectors, a...

    Winch Roll Call!

    Not too obtrusive sticking out, unlike some designs. If you had a HAWSE fairlead and synthetic line, that unit would be very trim and tucked in on the front, when viewed in profile.[emoji7]

    Winch Roll Call!

    That weight, dry, level, but with 3 snatch blocks. Yes believable, but....MUD..... I would not have been anywhere near or even want to be near that cable. a 3/8" WINCH CABLE at the minimum, something in a commercial rating would be even better. That whole set-up was working way below a...

    Tie dye shirts!

    Family and friends wear them each year at the County Fair, here in Southern Nevada each year. It became a tradition years ago, even though most of us didn't follow the Grateful Dead.

    2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro.

    If you are going to carry a Hi Lift jack, get this piece of kit for those CBI-(real) sliders! There will come a time that you will be glad you had it. Beside this (Lotus Development), there are at least 2 other brands on the market. One is a Lime Green, and the Other Red like the jack.

    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    They may have fallen out of favor, but the old drip rails, sure made life easier. I'm glad Ford has not gone the way of the DODO, and removed the manual hub option. Having a real part-time front axle sure allows options us GM owners don't. For that matter 99.7% of Ram owners also who don't...

    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    Sure would be nice if they released as a option, the Power Wagon electronic sway disconnect. I thought that GM, by now, would have offered a version as would also have FORD

    Mixing synthetic oil and conventional oil

    Revisiting this: I think 'blending' would not be detrimental, except as stated above, as long it is kept in the family. AKA...... Same Brand, same or similar ''ADDITIVES', as that determines how well or not, it will work.
