The Quadratec rails are pretty good for a more budget slider. I’ve never tried to jack up from them but I’m guessing you could. They’ve saved my rocker panel a few times so they work for light to moderate wheeling I’d say. I personally use them as a step, I put some grip tape on top to help with...

I was able to get out camping one last time before having to head back to school. We went up to Gallagher head lake, a popular spot in Washington, and spent the night with nice weather. Friday was pretty clear but Saturday morning the smoke settled in, luckily we planned to leave in the morning...

Currently still running the 3.73’s. It’s definitely under geared when I tow the trailer, but otherwise it’s not too bad. For sure something I’ll look at in the future, a second hand set of rubi axles with the 4.10’s would about perfect in my mind.

I realize it’s been a while so I thought I’d post an update, I apologize for the lack of updates on this thread. Since my last post the Jeep has been upgraded to 35’s. The 33’s I had went to my trailer I built. I don’t plan to make a separate thread for it but I do have some additional photos of...

For price I think it’s great! I checked out them and CVT in person when I was in Oregon last year and both were great tents, while the CVT is definitely a bit nicer, I didn’t think it was enough of a difference to spend a few extra hundred dollars. I worked with Casey from fsr and he was...

Seeing as my build is starting to get a few more views, I figure now would be a good time to update recent changes. Bumper, Previously I had a DV8 bumper, it wasn’t too great and I had it about 3 years. When mounting it initially, 3 mounting holes did not line up with the frame holes which was...

I was between the two aswell, but got a huge sale on rhino rack. They seem to have a couple a year if you’re patient around 20% off. I liked rhino rack because as you said lower profile, it is removable when you don’t want it so you don’t completely destroy fuel economy, and it’s fairly...

Glad I could help! If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Thanks! Sorry on the slow response I haven’t checked this forum in a little while. The rack has internal supports that mount to the tub like the hardtop, then a landing pad mounts through on the outside. The rack is attached with 4 bolts, it usually takes me about 10 mins to bolt/unbolt the...

Haha yea it’s a bit of a struggle sometimes, nice tacoma by the way it’s a sweet rig!

Sorry I missed this post yesterday. I can post a photo when I go home this weekend but it’s just a flat plate I believe 5”x7”. It’s 1/4” thick and I ran 3 bolts that are 1/2” diameter through the holes in the hi lift and then just centered and attatched the rotopax mount to that. I’ll confirm...

Thanks! Currently I'm running the stock 3.73 gears with the automatic 4 speed. I'd love to re gear to 4.88 and throw an air or e-locker in the rear eventually, but most likely I will not re gear right away. I just picked up a superchips flashpaq and input the 87 octane tune which I think is a...

Sweet, thanks for the info!

Love how those photos turned out, would you mind sharing what your camera and lens combo is? I'm in the market for a new lens and these are fantastic photos!

Exactly, then I plan to run tracktion boards and extra fuel up top, that tent is heavy and destroys my fuel economy.
