I’m selling my custom made outdoor trailer. I think it only has maybe 2000 miles on it. This baby is rugged. Comes with the Tepui Kukenam XL Ruggedized roof top tent with comfort foam bed and sleeping bag. Sleeps 4. It has 3500# Dexter axles (no brakes), lots of tie down points, Rino Lined on...

Our 2 boys had a waterpolo tournament at Shaver Lake. So, after the 3 day tournament, my 3rd child and I decided to head up to Bald Mountain. At first both him and I were really to tired from all the hiking to and from the games, buy decided if we didn't go we'd end up regretting not doing...

Again, thanks for all your suggestions advise and humor. And yes, at one time when money was tight with 4 kids, I went through the neighborhood and collected cans from the recycling buns to take the family to the movies. Been there, done that.

If it was good enough to blanket you with firearms training, it should be a good option for renting a trailer. I like it.

And this is why I asked for input. Everyone's concerns are part of the negatives I had thought of as well. The one I didnt consider was the liability aspect (falling out of the tent). I appreciate all of the advice. Maybe I'll just start selling snow cones on our street instead.

Let me know if this needs to be in a different section. I'd like input, ideas, or any other advise on renting out my trailer. I understand the negatives of doing this. Have any of you guys rented out your trailers? I'm just looking at making a little money on the side, instead of my baby...

This past weekend we took the 2 door up to Oceano Dunes 8n Pismo and had a blast! There was a lot of soft sand and tall dunes to climb. We aired the tires down to about 15lbs. We got stuck a few times, but just put her in 4 low and turned the front and rear lockers on. She climbed out of...

Well, I've gone from a 2017 Toyota Tacoma to a 2001 Toyota 4Runner to a 2021 2door Rubicon. It's small, but I love it. I'm doing just a few mods since it's pretty much all set and ready to go. I did add a hitch to haul my trailer. I just need to add the wiring now to run the trailer lights. I...

Ok. So my grand idea of going back to the basics didn't pan out the way I had planned. Long story short, the engine needs to be replaced. The 4runner was costing me a car payment worth in repairs. So, boom! I sold it, and went to something new again! What do you do with a 2021 Ribicon...

I took 2 of my 4 kids out for the weekend. Just to get away. Plus, it was time to christen the Goonie on its maiden voyage! I added some Sea Foam injection cleaner as a I filled up with gas. Surprisingly, I averaged almost 17 mpg there and back. Trailer towed very nice, and seemed to pull...

*MOD UPDATE*. So I purchased the Sherpa Accessories Antero half rack. I've got to say, this rack is nice! The price point was in my budget. I think I paid around $700 or so for shipping, Maxtrax mount and awning mount. It will definitely suite my needs. I pulled off the factory rack...

Today, I made simple mod in the 4Runner. I removed the running boards. One, I never used them, and 2 they would only make my pant legs dirty and wet in the rainy weather. I got about 7" of extra body height by taking them off. I ordered the Sherpa Antero half rack for the top of the truck...

Today, I put new tires on the truck. I replaced the old ones that were old and bald. I really liked the Toyo AT/III I put on my Tacoma. They rode nice and were fairly quiet for the tread pattern. The tires are a 265/75R15. I also put a Rough Country 3" lift which came with 2 struts, 2...

Well, it starts all over again! Back in 2016, I bought my first brand new vehicle ever. I loved it! It smells new, it starts every morning, and I knew I'd get from one place to another without worrying about anything. I started building this rig from the ground up to my likings. And now I've...

The 265/70 are roughly 1" taller than the 265/65.

I drive like a grandma.

My gas mileage dropped, but nothing to complain about. I got about 22mpg with the stock tires. These dropped to 20-21mpg.

I just installed these on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma. I ran the stock Toyos for 65,000 miles. They were good for what me and my boys do on trails. The OEM tires th as t came with my truck were the 265/65R17. I upgraded to the 265/70R17. These are the same width just an 1" taller. Not to...

I know that some of the dispersed camping sites close here shortly. Plus, I think Buck Rock closes sometime in October. If your looking at camping in the winter time you can try some of the campgrounds near the General Grant (Azalia Campground). If your looking at dispersed camping in the...
