Great choice in lights.

At the speeds we travel overlanding, spots just are not a necessity. The driving combo beam pattern from Baja Designs is perfect for overlanding. Start with a pattern like that, and add spots if you find them necessary. If you haven't already, take a look at this link to Baja Designs Lighting...

I struggle with this one, too. I've ridden my dual sport to Cerro Gordo a couple times (before it burned) and it's really cool, the area is awesome, and I hope to ride up there again. I also like what the new owner is trying to accomplish. But the mining company owns the claim, and if allowed...

I don't want to hijack this thread but I'd like to give my 2 cents on the Thuren vs Carli decision. First off, I know both of these guys personally, though it has been a little more than 10 years that I've seen either of them. I have off-roaded with them both, and both have worked on my truck...

I'm going to follow your progress on this so please keep us updated on what you do. I'd like to do something similar. I currently have onboard air to operate my exhaust brake, but I'd like to expand the system to fill my air bags, as well as have a quick connect to fill tires and stuff.

As of today I’m official! KN6PSF in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

That was the best year! Still has the solid axle but with the 22RE. Mine was the final year, 1989, with the 3.0L V6 and manual transmission. I was going to drop a 5.0 in it and convert to solid axles but I was young and didn't have that kind of money at the time (this was 20+ years ago). I...

I'm in Rancho Cucamonga and may go to this. If I do I'll be making the trip alone and wouldn't mind caravaning. I'll keep tabs on this thread, too.

Of all the trucks I've ever owned the 1st gen 4runner I had is the one I miss most. I think I have a bag of bolts for the hard top somewhere in my garage if you want them. When I sold mine it had an original Canback soft top on it and they left the bolts for the hard top.

I recently rewired all the accessories on my truck and installed a Blue Sea Systems fuse block. Using 4 awg I connected it directly too one of my starter batteries (I have two in my Cummins Ram), then connected my radio and LED lights to the fuse block. So far, I have no noise or interference...

Looks good. Don't wait too long on that alignment. You don't want to decrease the lifespan of those new tires!

Nice. I use a Bazooka Pro also and bolt it to my Leitner rack using a couple Super Quick Fist clamps. Works like a champ!

I'm not fond of the new Armada styling in stock configuration, but lifted and accessorized such as yours they look great!

Well, my radio is an old modded Icom IC-v8000 and not as cool as most but it still works like a champ. I've had it mounted by my right leg for 15 years now and it works well for me. I don't like having to many light up gadget and gizmos in front of me so when I do replace it I'll likely put...

I put (3) cots in my Kodiak Canvas 10'x10' Flex-Bow tent. They seem to fit best side by side with leftover space adjacent to the door.
