The headlights are horrible.

Wavian is what I used on my roof as well. Didn't like having it up there, but it was either that, inside the vehicle, or spend $1200+ on a bumper with swingout/hitch tire carrier/etc Went from sea level to 12,000 feet, no leaks. I've used my spare fuel a couple times. Once because a planned...

Thanks! I've got a 400P, which looks like is about an inch wider and longer (if I leave the foot plate on). You think it would still fit? Foot plate dimensions are 10.9" x 5.8"

Air compressor mount Anyone know the dimensions of the mounting plate for the air compressor mount? LFD Off Road - Air Compressor Mount - for ARB Single Compressor Wondering if I can use it to mount my viair portable compressor. Thanks!

Pretty sure everything goes into GVWR calculations. One of the full size truck AEV conversions has a lower tow rating than the stock version, despite, better suspension, bigger brakes, and all the other stuff they swap out. The reason? The AEV front bumper blocks more air flow to the radiator...

So after seeing this video from Ronny Dahl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r32xd9z4SZ4&feature=youtu.be I'm back to wondering about a 4runners actual roof load rating. The only thing in the 5th gen manual says is "do not exceed 120 lbs cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier" which seems to...

Are these suitable for outside use? I'm looking for an option to light up my winch spool during use. The black line in the shadows is hard to see! Contemplated a rock light up to something like a BD S1, just not sure how bright I need it.

How are you liking the trigger controller? I've been thinking of getting a 6-shooter, but the 5 amp limit on 2 switches has me a little worried. There doesn't seem to be much love for the triggers around here, everyone goes with homemade, switch pros or Spod. But at half the price and no wires...

I just got a letter from Toyota saying mine is on the recall list (2019 ORP). Three pages that basically boil down to "don't call us, we'll call you. There's no remedy available yet." Uh... thanks?

Without going to look it up, I'm pretty sure that is one of the things you can change with Carista.

Yeah, the load rating of the actual roof of a 4runner is listed as 125lbs, the stock rack is rated at 150. That is dynamic. Doesn't matter if a rack is rated for 300lbs, it is still exceeding roof load over 125. Just looked it up in the manual, it's actually only 120lbs. Lame...

Have you ever weighed your rig when it is fully packed up? It looks a bit... over loaded. I know for a fact you are far exceeding the roof load, by probably 2x if not more, depending on what you put in the cargo box. Roof load rating is a meager 125-150 lbs depending on what source you are...

I went with the Warn. The price was close enough that the reputation won out. Plus on the Smittybbuilt ( I was looking at the older version), you likely had to swap out the switch, cut off the hook if you wanted to replace it, and I seem to recall something about the fairlead that I would have...

Regarding overall timeline to swap to EV in general, my bother works at an oil and gas exploration company in Houston, and during the big drop in oil prices earlier in the year, they had to do some serious thinking about the future of oil and gas. The time line is something like this (as I...

I did the same last year. Best I found was 10% off for warn from one of the big stores. Northridge I think.
