daPitbull's 4Runner Build

[daPitbull]

Took delivery on our trailer today. Can't wait to get this thing out on the trails.

Yes. It's a much more solid option. Gives me more piece of mind, knowing how much heavy gear we have in the back and protecting the kids. It made by speski off-road. Really well made.
Gamiviti - Speski Cargo Barriers

I happened to stumble on them myself. Seems like he may be hit and miss on availability... I will have to keep it on my list of add ons...

Thanks again!

Picked up our CVT Mt Adams tent today. Heading down to Death Valley in a few weeks to do a shake down run with the trailer.

Back in 2010 we had a Tentrax Trailer...ended up selling it; it was too small for our growing family. But in the market for a replacement before our trip next summer.

Look like we're gonna stick with our original plan. DV is suposed to be having rare super bloom event. We'll catch the next Mojave run.

Awesome build man. How's the radflo suspension been holding up after all this time and miles. Any issues? Would you have done anything different suspension wise? Getting ready to purchase and the radflo 2.5 kit seems to be where I'm heading.

Sorry for the late reply on this...so far so good. I think I have about 50k miles on it. Haven't had any issues, although I have plans to completely re-do the suspension within the year.

Thanks. 315/75/16. I think is just shy of 12.5".

Added a 30" Heretic LED bar to the roof rack:

How do you like the prinsu rack I am in between this one and the frontrunner. Also did not see anywhere if you had to do a diff drop?

 

[daPitbull]

Some from our latest trip:

I envy your rig, and your trips..

Thanks. You've got the rig....throw a dart on the calendar and make it happen!

 

[zidaro]

so, seriously what are your feelings on the Prinsu? Im getting ready to drop the coin for a rack and this is at the top of my list.
Road/wind noise? vibrations?
Does it "look" like it was fit to the roofline?
Hows it look with a load up there? Handle weight without sagging. Will the weight be ok when your bouncing down a rough road for 45miles? AKA any Death Valley /Mojave excursion

Have any nice detail pics of the roofline and rack?
