Yup! I have 4 68qt boxes, and two 54qt boxes.

I used to ratchet strap them to the rack, but wanted to try them bolted down. I figure I'll put stuff I don't need to access regularly up there.

Chain saw, tools, shower, etc.

I did the diode/AGM battery mod on the Sequoia. Bought the 31AGM battery, diodes, bunch of battery cable parts to extend my cables (cable, crimp splices etc). Trimmed my battery tray to accept the larger battery, extended my cables, trimmed the heck out of the diode and replaced my ALT S fuse with the diode, all worked great. Alt now putting out more and I got tons of battery to spare......

Here is a video on what I did (This is on diff Toyota):

No, the AT3W we just installed are awesome. 235/65/17. The largest that can be installed is 245s. Not worth spending money on and having to do trimming etc. I don't have to do anything with the 235s.

At least they're proper quality AT tires. 65 is a fairly low profile, so I was more concerned about the lack of sidewall than the overall diameter. I would be concerned about flats, but being good AT tires should help for sure.

Same as I put on the Pat. I have a warranty claim gone in, both front struts (rough Country N3) bang loudly when fully extended. It's brutal. If it did not do that, I would give it 10/10. The ride, handling, off road feel are much improved, but the loud bang when extended take all that away.

Mine was all spacers and kept factory parts. Spacer above the front and rear struts, the whole rear subframe, rear control arms, evap canister, brake lines and some small drop spacers for the exhaust. Also had to trim the skid plate a bit for clearance because it's a trailhawk, but it was about 1/8" to 1/4" of the lip of it.

I'm a bit closer to finishing the paint on my '04 LJ. The front is done and the rear is close behind. I have some metal work to do and then paint. I have a lot of other things to do but it will be back on the road soon. It's all fun! :smiley:

Discovered some rust today, at only 10 years old its very frustrating, especially when you know that it could easily have been avoided by the manufacturer...

Ugh…im sorry that really sucks. Rust is always frustrating, especially as you said when it really could have been prevented. What is your plan here?
