first trip of the season to the Maine North Woods, 708 miles total (includes a 6 hour, 120 mile total side trip to get coffee creamer on day two!). it rained wicked hard on the way up to the MNW that first night. visibility was bad, never got above 60mph on the highway and at one point it...

out of the blue today I decided to install my front winch solo at the condo, HOA be damn! now there is one less thing to trip over in the livingroom.

all kinds of projects starting and restarting. I am looking forward to spring!

very nice skid plate, EW does makes some nice stuff. I just had my second diesel geek panzer plate installed my second TDi i picked up...I heart skid plates

excellent choice, 4 doors, 8' bed, SRW 1ton and steel wheels to boot! if I where going the full size route, that would be my choice.

there is a ton of things I like about your build, nice job!

...and who needs a tacoma work truck when you already have a 4rrunner?

yes, I bought the plans from etsy, got the steel plate CAD file burned locally at maine fabricators in gorham and welded up by a friend who is a great TIG fab guy. the maine fab. guy even tweaked a couple of small things on the burn file for me before that sent it over to production...good shop.

I swapped out my big ass HF 4LED pod lights for a smaller set of HF 4LED cube lights for ditch duty. surprisingly bright with the given size and very easy on the wallet. I finally got my front winch bumper that I internet sourced and built locally ready to install with or without a winch...

exporting as a single file not an option due to size as mentioned already but I guess there is a share function after all...I honestly hadn't noticed it till I looked for it. here are a few test links. Musquacook Stream Campsite...

getting north maine woods season year stickers are hard. they seem to usually come in just before moose season. I try to get one, two and sometimes three every season. this year they were not available all of my three visits in late summer. on my last visit I told the checkpoint attendant this...

I wish I could export them. I have tried a few times before but OnX chokes every time saying the file is too big...sorry :( if anyone has any ideas for a work around, let me know, thx

I have been busy in general and haven't updated this thread in awhile. I have added a full length sherpa crestone sport rack. I like the low profile a lot. still getting use to the weight limitations but it is a great rack regardless...with rack unloaded there is little to no impact MPG wise. I...

I have been visiting the Maine Northwoods for the last 3 summer-fall seasons. Visiting the Maine Northwoods requires solid planning especially when going solo which I do 90% of the time. Much thanks to fellow forum member Wigsajumper for posting a cleaned up GPS campsite file for the Northwoods...

rock sliders built, test fitted, prepp'd and primed. my buddy just finished these up for me last weekend. they are built out of scrap generator shipping brackets and a hair thicker than 1/4" and weight at least 75-80lbs each. the mounting flange (to the 4runner frame) is a single 50" long 1/4"...

man, Toyota 4runner e-brake linkage springs are a nightmare. I almost miss German cars...till I remember how cheap Toyota's are to repair.

off to do the third full brake job in 5 weeks, at least this one is on my 4runner. coated high carbon rotors are the only way to fly. rock sliders install is on hold till I can drop on 4runner off for a few days for fit up. in other some what exciting news I finally burned the winch bumper...

just completed the second test run of my bedslider/sleeping arrangement and my second solo (no dog or peeps) trip of 2023 to the Maine North Woods. I came in via the golden road and the telos checkpoint. I camped the first night at a nice small partially hidden camp site in the bottom third of...
