    Alice - 2021 4Runner Venture Edition

    If you never did one, their not difficult but on real tight. I've done several at work. There's a lock plate on the rack end that will give you fits if your not aware of it. Setting the toe is easy. I can get almost exact just sighting down the side and lining up with the rear wheel. If I do any...

    Alice - 2021 4Runner Venture Edition

    Good thought on upgrading the rack. My suggestion is based on hitting an unseen stump and bending my tie rod with 32's.Also the web is full of Tacomas and 4Runners breaking stock tie rods doing what I would consider moderate trails. I agree with the "Keep a spare" but Toyota overkills their...

    Bye Felicia

    I think your missing the point here. This was all about leaving the gear on for show while you commute to work and such. Obviously, when your camping, especially in adverse conditions, the gear is stowed properly. I also keep things that shouldn't get dirty isolated in bags or box's. This also...

    Air compressor recommendation - What do you like?

    I had a moderate air horn on one of my Jeeps. It was the one I ran the York on. It was also the reason for the large air tank. The electric ones will power a small to mid size, my York handled a mid ok. Once the tank ran out the volume fell off a bit. If you want big air horns, look at how much...

    Bye Felicia

    Two minutes into his video and I've seen enough. We all knew it was a fad and fads dies off. Where I disagree is, it wont die for everyone. This has been my whole life as well as all my friends, it wont die for us. The "Overland Bloggers" are running out of content and now doing the same thing...

    Awesome tire deflator

    Ordered one. Took a while to find it on their site. I've always pulled the valve core when deflating. Nothing more fun than dropping it in silty sand and not finding it.

    Air compressor recommendation - What do you like?

    I ran the VIAIR 400 for since it came out. Probably 15-20 years. Last year it didn't pump as fast. Still works though. I decided to upgrade to the ARB twin. I have friends who have had the ARB for 20 years. The VIAIR took a while to pump up 40's, the ARB was faster but neither overheated and...

    Information on a Winch

    I did Adopt a trail for about three decades. We wore out winch's and cables. It was a must running Rubicon, Dusy and the Hammers. Today I still have one but I haven't needed it in years

    US West San Gabriel Valley Food & Rigs

    I drew a route from apple valley to the camp site. The route has two options once your in the mountain. I marked the camp area also. Before I give it to you, do you want anything else added?

    send me a pm so I don't forget and I'll put something together. The route uses common roads so I doubt anyone has it saved.

    Portable water heater?

    Last year I bought a BougeRV Water Heater. I had a camplux for years. I went away from it for a few reasons. First was its size and overall shape. Second was I was afraid of breaking the knobs so I had to pack it just so. Next was its power. The heating unit is way bigger than needed so it uses...

    3D printed fridge lid prop!

    What printer did you get? I've been putting off a printer forever and picked up a Bambu P1S. OMG... I had to get a white board to write all my ideas on and now I need a bigger one. I've almost been living in Fusion for the past two months. Welcome to the addiction.

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    Not sure how having a single layer that can be turned off means their going down hill but, that's just my opinion. All the mapping software like it have their quirks. One of the biggest reasons I've stayed with it over the years is being able to tune and more than anything is how much data...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I turned it on in mine. Yes its part of the overland layer. The part that confuses me is, as far as I can see, the only "extra" part is a handful of black dots I can only see if I zoom all the way out and view the country as a whole. I did turn off all the other layers I use (don't normally use...
