At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Let's see your bike rack!

    Ours was a simple and very practical solution for a swing-gate spare tire holder. Only holds 2 bikes, but that’s all we needed. It also keeps the bikes lifted high in the back for steep approach and decent angles. I had them on a roof rack until I almost destroyed my bike on a lower than...

    What is your favorite nonessential rig add-on?

    Mine is the custom fabricated dash-over RAM mount bar. It’s super functional and uses the grab handle screw holes on the windshield pillars for my attachment points. I have been able to mount 2 RAM swivel cup holders, my SPOD lighting/battery management mini-tablet, iPhone, iPad, GoPro Camera...

    What portable air are you using in your rig?

    I’m running the ARB twin compressor also. We fabbed up a custom bracket and mounted it to the existing rear seat wheel-hump mounts so it bolts up tight. We were able to get it neatly tucked to the side so packing around the unit isn’t a problem. Easy access and inside the rig which keeps it...

    My home built expedition trailer

    Looks great. Are you finding the existing suspension to be enough for what you’re using it for? Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

    Very cool Outback! Saw this very cool Subi today at the OB OC Rigs & Coffee event. Had a 2 1/2” lift with aggressive tires. And for old time sake, check out the Brat that was there! Keep it going....looks like you’re setting it up right. Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

    “Stinky” the 1997 FZJ80 build

    Just ordered new gearing better mated to the 35” tires. Should improve performance a ton. I’ll let y’all know what I end up with and how it works after I install. Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

    “Stinky” the 1997 FZJ80 build

    Hi-Lift makes this bull bar mount farm jack mount. Super easy to install. Very clean looking. Doesn’t really impair your vision. And helps free up room for other exterior mounts for things like shovels, axes, Maxtrax, etc... Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

    “Stinky” the 1997 FZJ80 build

    For you mountain bikers who want to haul a bike and have rear mounted spare, do yourself a favor and get the Yakima Spare Ride bike rack. It works great! Bike swings out with spare tire swing gate to allow access to the back of the truck without having to take the bikes off! Sent from my...

    Rooftop tent and awning, both made by Tepui. Went with the 3 man Ruggedized series in bright orange. We like it......keeps the deer hunters from shooting us! Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

    “Stinky” the 1997 FZJ80 build

    Lights are all up and running. I know the HIDs suck a lot of juice, but holy smokes, it’s like day light for 100 yards. Really bright! Just like I wanted for those Baja night excursions! Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

    “Stinky” the 1997 FZJ80 build

    Wanted to show a couple of fabrications we collaborated with Alex at American Overland Expeditions on that came out great. First was an interior mounted ARB dual air compressor. We removed the rear seats and he used the existing bolt holes in the wheel hump to fasten the custom fabbed mounting...

    “Stinky” the 1997 FZJ80 build

    The name comes from the sour milk spilled on the floor mats from the previous owner masked by the pine scented car wash rear view mirror hung air freshener. Smelled like an old poopie diaper under a pine tree! Replaced the mats with new Weather Tech laser fit floor mats....presto-change-o...

    2014 FJ Cruiser Build (Lucille)

    Nice job on the Plano boxes. I did the same thing with too big of a seal that made them hard to close. Bought a smaller weather seal (black half round with sticky peel back) and it works perfectly. Looks like we got our “poor man pelican cases” ready to go! Sent from my iPad using OB Talk
