    weeeee's build thread

    I've been waiting to see a dual swing bumper from Cbi (I saw one at Expo, but with so many things hapoening, I forgot most of it). I pull a trailer and wanted to see what the swingout distance was. I also didn't realise how many 4Runner people are near by. Looks pretty ok from here!

    Renogy Solar Group Buy- SIGN UP ENDS 05/15/2016

    I'm using a Morningstar Sunsaver 10 12v, since I already had it in my system. I got my panel with the controller, so I have a backup.

    Renogy Solar Group Buy- SIGN UP ENDS 05/15/2016

    I posted it to mud with very some interest. Solar can actually be easy or hard depending on what you want in your system. First, what do you think you need it for. Next, determine your usage. Some people use a system to keep their battery topped up, others camp and need lights, charging for...

    Solar roof top pipe shower

    If the temps get too high the ABS fittings just pop off. I went with Mission bands afterwards and they would end up distorting the pipe and leak. Mind you, I spend a lot of time in Mojave and Death Valley area, where it does get a bit warm. Also, lived in MT where you had to drain it and take it...

    Solar roof top pipe shower

    After using PVC and ABS piping for years, I went with a Roadshower too. Also, with the pricing for the fittings and the fact if it gets too hot they blow apart in the desert, I went with easier.

    Deicing compound

    Well, I got the it back from the detailers and couldn't be happier. They washed the under carriage, the wheels, the outside and in. As most of you know, I don't spend a lot of time cleaning it so this was a big surprise about how they were able to get most of the scratches out and how clean it...

    Deicing compound

    I just took it to the detail shop for it's first bath since we got it (5 years). The more I read about the stuff, once I knew what it was, the more sense it made to get it cleaned. I don't think they use it in California. Under carriage, engine compartment, inside and out. I have to admit, it...

    Deicing compound

    So, I was tooling along in Idaho and Montana where they spray a deicing compound on the freeways. It is a somewhat oily substance that shows up pretty well on the outside of my rig. It this hard on the finish, like I need to get it cleaned now, or is it fairly benign? Thank you for the help or...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Not really what I did except I drove by a CalTrans worker who was working by himself! Now, how are all of those shovels going to stand up if there aren't the seven extra people just there to stand around and watch him. I'm really disappointed that the state is not wasting those extra several...

    Downside of P-metric tires

    Do you know what the air pressure was? Out West, people drive over pine and fir branches and a twig stub find their way though the tire all the time.

    Car wash: A survey

    Rain only, though I have washed the windscreen often. My service dealership even has a placard that says "do not wash".

    ISIS and their Toyota pickups

    That was why the last Toytech group buy was such a hit.
