And fresh out of sketchup comes the rack plans... Building a similar rig to my old Subaru hatchback. The base material is high tensile uni-strut, which makes for a very modular rack. The rack will essentially be a flat style with two side rails and a removable rear rail. I plan on mounting some...

This thread is for me as much as anyone wanting to see progress as it goes on. I'll start off with a few rig shots, nothing wheeling available at the moment... Mods are as follows: Important Stuff: ARB Bumper w/ Hella 500's SCS wheels w/33" Shredded Maxxis Bighorns Tundra coil and shocks up...

You kinda look like a jackass backing a vehicle into a 45 degree space in the one way lots around here... serves no purpose really. Also, the 4runner turns so well, it doesn't really need to be backed. I usually do in standard spaces, but it isn't nearly mandatory.

Neither of our trucks have standards (too much wear on the clutch towing) but our cars do. The Mazda 3 I commute in has a very tall, fast reverse, and riding the clutch is even fast in some scenarios. Usually in a parking lot etc, you can just bump the gas, pull slightly on the clutch and then...

I've had this issue once before, and driving a decent distance in reverse took care of it for me. Sometimes my rig takes longer than I'd like to make the switch so I click it back to 4h with the button and wait a short distance before trying again. Have you tried either of these things? Will...

Gallon of coolant, 3 qt's oil in MSR Fuel Bottles, 2L h20 in sigg bottles.

Oh TRD... Imagine if the TRD Pro release was a sick little 4-cyl Cummins in a 4runner how excited we'd be. Hopefully Nissan makes this happen and then we get one. I'm not a huge fan of Frontiers, but I'd surely drive that over a Tacoma now.

Awesome. I was running basically the same set up just using those foam blocks. My boat is very flat on the bottom so I'll probably switch the blocks over to my wife's v-bottom and get me a noodle. I run my bow straps to the bumper usually. Can't wait until I get the trailer built. I hate lifting...

great looking build, excited to see how the control arm project finished up for you. A question on your 'yak mounting. Are you just using pool noodles under the boat on the rails? I'm getting ready to fab a roof rack soon and I will need a part time solution for just taking a quick solo trip...

Sadly it doesn't matter what the rules say since it's campus PD. They'll just say something about code of conduct etc and you'll get to keep the ticket. Wasting time might not be good retribution either, seems like they have plenty already. I'd pay it and frame it next to that photo in your...

Meet Natalya This is my newest baby... Natalya: a USSG MP310 which is really an imported Baikal IZH-27. I had shot my fathers my whole childhood and my wife bought me my very own for a wedding gift. I had over 20k rounds in dad's I figure and now in mine I'm over 2k since October. She's ugly...

Had them on my old Subaru. They don't sound nice. They sound loud and have a lot of dissonance which makes them very aggressive. Not a clean sounding euro horn at all. That being said... If I had an extra set I'd put them on in a heartbeat.

I have a magnaflow. 20" casing standard diameter and it has a pretty decent drone around town. Can't hear it on the highway over wind/tires. Doesn't bother me but you might not like it.

My truck currently has a big 'ol bumper and no extra lighting on the front. I had originally planned to hook up some type of 55w driving light to the original factory harness but plans have changed. I got a pair of those 100w HF lights from a buddy for nothing. I'm pretty sure that 200w total is...

Took the extra long way home today and fooled around in the snow testing out my traction capabilities (4 wheel sliding). Figured this was a nice image. Maybe next years Christmas cards...
