I added some decorations to my sliders. When there is not enough time before the next trip for any 'real' projects, but I still like being in the garage. A buddy of mine put his CNC table to work. He said, "Won't they just get all scratched up?" I nodded and smiled and said, "Yeah, I can't...

I am essentially right in the heart of it. Grant Park Historic District. I wheel a lot of the Georgia Trailrider events. Good group, really well organized, and always a good time. Gatrailriders.com - Georgia's Premier Offroad 4X4 & Jeep Club Man, I want to so bad! But can't this year...

My family and I had an epic, once in a lifetime, trip. We were able to combine a 3 day offroad trip with the recent solar eclipse. From Atlanta, we headed 3 hours north into central Tennessee. Golden Mountain Offroad Park sat right in the path of totality. IMG_1323 by Steve Hatfield, on...

Headed out to Windrock Offroad Park this past weekend with some friends. The forecast was not good and it rained on me all the way there. I knew the trails would be slop but I was anxious to get out. With the recent cage project, it has been far too long since I've been in the dirt. Trying...

Thanks! Unfortunately, like many others, I will likely lose most of my build thread pics to the photobucket fiasco. Thanks! The seats are at their best when on the trail. The main difference is you sit ON your factory seat, and you sit IN a racing seat. I really like them. They will be...

So glad to have this major "winter" project behind me! I'm actually a little disappointed in myself for not doing it sooner. Research "cage fail" or "offroad rollover" to legitimately scare yourself. However, the truck fought me on every step. Everything is low clearance, super tight, and...

Thanks to my friend Brant for coming over several times and helping me lift on/off the exo portion. No way I could have done it by myself. Once the C & D were back in, I used some red neck engineering to push the hoop up as far as possible to give me enough top clearance to weld the exo...

The following is a long overdue update of my build thread. Roll Cage. This project has been on the list for several years and represents a lot of research, rule book reading, web surfing and image saving, cage failure analysis, hand sketches, and bend-tech mock ups. I began the cage in...

Looks great Brent! Nice progress. Home stretch. I'm heading out to Adventure Off Road Park next weekend. Thurs-Sun if weather is nice. Sat/Sun even if bad weather. Crawling for Reid ? A Charity for Reid Davis Underwood You are welcome to a seat in my rig. In the process of finishing my...

The TG pump will bolt up. I have it, and run it with the PSC hydro assist. Just make sure you order the right pulley. 3rd gens use the ribbed pulley. If I recall correctly, 851 or 861 are about the tallest coil you can get. Even with those I couldn't get level after my swap. I ultimately went...

A couple of videos from the Colorado Toyota Jamboree 2016: In Cab perspective of Whale Tail on Chinaman Gulch & French Creek on Holy Cross: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xiJ97Tv2NTQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://youtu.be/xiJ97Tv2NTQ...

Basically, a picture dump. I had a great time at the Colorado Toyota Jamboree, again! This is a great event. If you are local to CO, then you are truly fortunate to have this annual event in your backyard. If you are from far and abroad, as I am, then this event is truly a destination...

I was thinking about your situation the other day, and it seems you have come to the same conclusion I did. Since this is a break that nobody has even heard of before, then swap in a new rack and carry on. Sucks about Safari. Surely that sleeve wasn't held together with just that dimple/ding...

Thanks! Congrats on your new 4Runner! Endless potential. It's been a long time since I've thought about lifts and tire sizes. All I can say is do your research and do it right the first time so you do not have to re-do things later. I unfortunately re-did lots of things. This FAQ thread...

Thanks James! I used the duplicolor, blue label bed liner. This stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Dupli-Color-TR250-Truck-Coating-Aerosol/dp/B002MB6RIY Good observation on the matte black/charcoal grey. I guess it is both :ohwell: It was black, but faded somewhat quickly. However, since it is...
