If I can find a similar platform rack that holds 2 bikes I would go for it. The thing I dont like about the 1up is that it does not use a hitch pin. I just dont trust their method of attaching the rack to your hitch. Plus I have a fancy hitch pin that is keyed to my 4runner keys.

Lately I have been using my 4runner to get to the local MTB trails. Im using my brothers thule rack but I am planning on getting a better rack for my 4runner. Thinking of a kuat NV 2.0 base. Not sure yet.

I haven't really done much to my 4runner lately other than fix 2 flat tires. I had a tire weight go through one of my tires and then 2 weeks later a roofing screw went through another. I was surprised that the tire that the tire weight went through was able to be patched but it is holding air. I...

Got a second punctured tire. I got one a few weeks back caused by a lead tire weight and Now this one was caused by a roofing screw. I was on my way to the local trails to ride my MTB when I noticed. Was at home luckily and was able to get it changed to my spare if a few minutes. I have been...

That probably was me. I didn't know Gaia automatically made my GPS tracks public, I thought I had to do that manually.

I am interested in possibly moving in the next year or 2 and Tucson has made my top ten list. How do yall deal with the Arizona heat? is it not as bad as most people think or worst?

Cool pictures! Seeing these really makes me want to move to the Tuscon area.

I got a flat tire today. Good thing I sprung for the full size matching spare. Looks like scrap metal, right in the center of my tread. Hopefully it can be patched.

Here is the rat Rod challenge. Next Challenge: Your 4runner in the wilderness (no pavement or man made objects in the background).

I want to add a spoiler but I do not want to drill. I am checking craigslist and waiting patiently for a hatch with a spoiler in black to be posted for sale.

I used my Rtic cooler for the first time. I put one bag 10 lb of ice in with prechilled drinks on a Friday night. It sat inside my house that night. In the morning I drained of a little ice melt and added a 2nd 10 lb bag of ice. After that it spent its time in the back of my 4runner or outside...

I added items to cart once from mcgeorge and printed it out and my local dealer price matched it. Saved me on shipping :guitar2: , had to pay sales tax though.

I do 10,000 mile OCI with mobil one EP synthetic. I also use their filter. I send samples to blackstone and my oil reports show that I have more life left still. Oil has gotten a lot better and you can go longer when taking the proper precautions like using a quality filter that will last as...

I usually look for national forest lands. Typically there are always some decent trails in the local National forest. Gaia GPS is a good paid app for finding trails and this is a good webpage for finding trails in the nationa forests: Interactive Visitor Map I would also recommend talking to...
