Is there a section or thread on this form that goes into how to do quick fixes and improvise recovery if let's say you don't have all of the gear on hand or you need to use what's available in nature to get you going. It's always a good thing to have a plan B and the more you learn and...

No need to worry about going all out. Just want to make a list of parts build and use it as a template to build overtime unfortunately I don't have the cash like something to go out and buy everything all I wants it, but I can make small steps at a time to have a end goal in sight for the...

also not mentioned on my list cuz you recommend a company that does a good installation of sound deadening material so I can keep this puppy quiet

thank you very much for the input. It's always good to hear from other experience overlanders. The spreadsheet was a rough but due to the capacity of the 4Runner payload it will be all aluminum. The only things that would be still would be the rear diff but that also interferes with the knss...

No worries there I am definitely working on it. Just Gathering experience from those that been doing it wave longer than me and some longer than I've been alive. The information I get from here really helps out in the end goal of achieving a quality rig that is balanced capable you can go to...

A nice touch in the beginning for the amenities for the wifey. The list was a download so some of the stuff it's still but I chose ball aluminum I left a few things on their this see how much I can stretch it out but it was more of the concept and idea I wrote earlier that my top priority is...

Has someone saying you have to be flexible and curtail your rig for what you're expecting to come at on the trail. I like the winter time event so staying warm is a must for me and also staying off the ground of all things in winter. I don't get paid for it anymore from the US Army so I'm not...

Yes you are correct it is kind of a dreamless. The Excel sheet gives me an idea of what the wait will be and also how it will affect performance especially going on trails that made more difficult. So in sight of this, i'm looking at doing teardown of what is necessary for that trip in trying to...

If you get a chance to stop by Camp Marmal go as fast as possible to the German PX there also the food there is awesome. its been awhile for me but I was out there with 12th CAB back in 2012

Thank you very much for your information and I really appreciate it. From my time here looking at the forms and what some people are running direct i'm thinking about going with the icon suspension system. They also offer a heavy spring and luckily I found a spreadsheet Excel that gives a rough...

I saw that icon made a stage 8 recently. What qualities of the suspension they make that you like, mostly I've seen from Ocean material for them and one video of it being installed but to hear people's actual experience and testing it is always great I acquired a Excel spreadsheet to calculate...

So you haven't noticed any wear and tear that could be construed as excessive on the chassis and control arms because of the weight. I was looking at doing a full enclosure setup plus putting full armor on the undercarriage and if time and money permit a auxiliary fuel tank to get the most range...

I believe i came to the right place for this question. I've seen a lot of rigs all over the place, some simple and small , While others are very extravagant and large on a 4Runner. My question to you everyone here on this form is oh, how do you manage your payload with all of the skid plates...

When you get a chance you can see his video on YouTube about it

hello from Philadelphia oh, my name is Mike I've been playing with the idea of Overland for a long time now. My interest piqued when I was deployed in Afghanistan and saw those old Toyota trucks rolling around with the Afghan army. They will go up and down those mountains with ease while our...
