    Boss Strongbox 4runner system

    Some of the multiple drawer setups are sweet, BUT, there is SO much wasted space with the extra walls and rails. I like how these boxes have the one thin divider down the middle, taking up no extra space. And if you wanted to, Im sure it wouldnt be too hard to fab some other dividers and bolt...

    Boss Strongbox 4runner system

    I thought about building one also, and even with todays insane wood prices it would still be cheaper. But I hate when a box itself takes up space, The metal boxes tend to have more storage per their size, since their walls are very thin. Plus this box was basically what I would have built, I...

    Boss Strongbox 4runner system

    I figure it would hold up just fine, just have to get the force distributed on a large area. You could used very large washers, or better yet, For added strength, you could always bolt the fridge rails down through the box, then through a metal bar inside the box, Think of the bar acting as one...

    Ebay's freedom offroad uca?

    I ended up going with the Freedom Offroad UCAs, So far so good, and thats after a 3000 mile trip out west, hitting trails in Utah and Colorado for a week. I was able to get the local dealer to get about 4.1 caster with them also, nice improvement in handling over the stock UCAs and less caster.

    Boss Strongbox 4runner system

    Got back from a trip out west and imediately ordered one of these. Cant wait to get out camping again with this, it lets me organize things so much better, and makes the sleeping platform setup so much easier and smaller of a section to insert when I need. Shown here with and without the side...

    Adventure West 2020

    I figure just about anything will make it, but Escalator and Hells Gate, both look like the type of obstacle that you either get right and seems easy, orrrrr, you get wrong and it goes really wrong. Wasnt worth the risk to me.

    Southern Style Offroad Full Length Roof Rack

    Im sure it probably wont last years and years of weather and abuse, But that still doesnt mean you can get by without any of it on there. These brackets arent made with perfect fitting custom rubber orings, so, you have to seal it up. I agree is would be best to have a better solution, but I...

    Southern Style Offroad Full Length Roof Rack

    There was NO way the stock mounting hardware was going to seal without silicone. I just didnt put enough on the first time I mounted everything. And I think putting some on the bolts themselves was the key to my issue. I find the typical clear silicone not all that hard to remove when you need...

    Southern Style Offroad Full Length Roof Rack

    I just used the provided mounts, but no matter what you use, I suggest using a ton of sealant on it, I think I had a slight leak when I first installed mine, and had to remount it with more sealant, Under the bracket, on top it, around the standoffs, down in the bolt holes, EVERYWHERE! haha

    Southern Style Offroad Full Length Roof Rack

    Here was my setup for the rack on my trip out west. 100W solar panel, with a metal plate added in front of it to fill the gap between it and the front wind deflector. X-Bull tracks, FuelPax 4 Gallon fuel can, ammo can (shit box), and ARB Awning.

    FREEDOM Offroad Control Arms - Under $350 Tubular Upper Arms from Battle Born!

    I ended going with these also, alignment got to 3.9 and 4.0 caster, It's a nice improvement. More I drive it the more I notice it being better. One of the ball joints did not have a hole drilled for the cotter pin, I have two castle nuts on it right now acting as jam nuts. I need to contact...

    Ebay's freedom offroad uca?

    Anyone else running these? Seriously considering these, I mainly just want to correct my caster, and use something that has an easy to get replaceable ball joint. I do some light offroading, but nothing serious.
