Just got back after a test drive following the install today. Observations: 1) wheelwell clearance is now on par of what my FJ had. 2) some vibration at 1200rpm's and 30mph. hmm. (like drive shaft vibe) 3) some wobble at 60, just slight, as if my tires need balancing, (just balanced a week...

I had one of the factory wheels get dinged, and ever since it would not hold air for over 2-3 days. So, I found a set of 2019 4RUNNER wheels taken off right after the vehicle purchase last month. Brand new. Look decent. Problem solved. Great price at $275 for the set. Next up, the Dobinson...

Back in the fall, I upgraded the tires/wheels on my 19' Winnie Drop trailer from 14" to 15". The takeoffs I kept for my RTT/Lowes trailer. Well we finally got around to cutting the fenders off to mount the 14" set. These are half again wider than the 13" we took off, and gave and additional 2"...

This arrived Christmas Eve Eve. The Air Suspension of my GX470 is about to be...gone with the wind. It's being replace with a Dobinsons 2-2 1/2 lift, coils and shocks. Understand I'm going to have to also buy an air suspension disconnect kit before the install can proceed. It's never simple...

After 20 years without a camera, my Canon T6 arrived today. Bought the body only and ordered an EF 50mm F 1.8 STM lens separately. It's a basic camera with good glass. I wanted something to take the occasional picture but, would also be fairly simple to take a video.(borrowed my daughter's...

Drove in several miles from Bull Gap on NF 600-1 and found a great campsite overlooking the Coosa Valley. (I think) Went with my SIL who said it was "perfection". Definitely a million dollar view. But, Joseph was right...it was perfect. It was so hard to leave. Can't wait to get back.

A holiday weekend campout to the Talladega National Forest was the scene of my 1st opportunity to use the Orange Boxx folddown rear table. Worked great. I had plenty of room for the Partner Steel stove and prep area as well. It is stupid simple, and makes life a lot easier. It has turned the...

open Closed The OB unit is heavy duty and designed to outlast your vehicle. Spendy? Yes, but quality construction. Laser cut GXOR and color coordinated to match my interior. HUGE cooking/worktop area, and room to put a number of molle pouches. The design still allows access to the tool kit...

Picked up a his-n-her set of Lands End Squall Jackets for half price and free shipping. Our old ones were over 25 years old and getting pretty ratty, so it was time.

Just arrived today. Fits my GX470. (They also make em for FJ's and Jeeps) When the table is stored, the back of the table has a grid of molle attachment points to secure bags and pouches. When deployed in table mode you have a huge cooking/work surface. It can be ordered with wood or food...

Looking for an affordable solution to store my 2 burner stove and accessories. Coleman bags got poor reviews for durability, so the search began and this is what I found. LA Police Gear patrol bag. Has multiple pockets, 2 padded main compartments with dividers, constructed of 600 denier...

Recently bought the small griddle for my 1 burner stove that stays in the RTT Trailer. I liked it so much that I looked at getting one for my Mr. Heater Basecamp 2 burner propane stove that stays in my Winnebago Drop trailer. (rarely do we cook in the trailer) And yes, Partner Steel makes 4...

Just arrived. PS griddles come in 3 sizes and this is the small one made for the 1 burner Partner Steel stove. Size is 9"x12", just right for cooking bacon. It has a 1 1/4" lip all the way around which is plenty to contain eggs, pancakes, or grease runoff. It is constructed of 1/4" thick...

I've had my StrongArm for 4 years now and during that time it has become my go-to backpacking and camp knife. Now my Cold Steel and Falkniven fixed blades just languish in my desk. I can hear the comments already..."but it's a Gerber". Yeah that's right, but a darn tough Made in USA Gerber. It...

Had a 1 ltr kettle but it was always a few ounces shy of a full pot for drip coffee. And always had to boil a second pot to make oatmeal. So, we got the 1.8 ltr GSI Halulite Kettle and now it'll be a 1pot boil for breakfast. You can fit a 280g isobutane canister and Pocket Rocket stove for...

Just got back from this year's Mardi Krawl at Hawk Pride Mtn in north Alabama. Louisiana Land Krewsers did an excellent job once again. Much improved weather from last years Krawl and guessing around a 100 folks.

Just got in on a Mass Drop group buy on this jacket, with a normal retail of $169 and group buy for $80. Total weight 19oz with 800 fill down. On first look fit and finish is on par with North Face and Patagonia. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and I think this was MassDrop's 3rd group...

Rago brackets and ARB Awning finally installed on the GX. With only a 20% chance of rain, after last years deluge at MK, I was taking no chances and made sure the ARB was ready for action. Hopefully it will remain undeployed...BUT just in case, ya know what I mean. By the way, The Rago mounts...

Windbreakers are an outdoor item that has just about disappeared in recent years. Good ones are hard to come by, but their usefulness hasn't been replaced with fleece and down. Sometimes you just need something to tame the chill in the air, or to keep "the hawk" from kickin arse. Well here...

The AT3's have been on my GX for a month now, and have 2800 miles on them. Useage: 1. daily commutes, 2. 500 mile interstate run in a driving rain storm, 3. 300 mile run to the Bankhead NF with about 40 miles on NF roads and two-track, very sloppy, while towing a trailer, and 4. one day of...
