    Build/overland/4x4 stuff: 1989 Raider, 2010 Sequoia, and other projects

    Project time: moved the Porsche out into the cold and the Raider into the garage. It's nice and short (in length) so lots of room to work....but it cleared my overhead rack by exactly 1/4" (!!)....Thought I might have to air down to fit it in lol. So this project will be the swing-out gear...

    tubing thickness for swing-out gear carrier.

    yeah, saw that one previously, it's very well-done. Though as noted, my pivot mount won't work well with the C-mount he's using since I"m mounting to the1/4" frame extensions rather than the bumper. I do note he's doing it all in 1/8" according to the comments - which is interesting. If I was...

    tubing thickness for swing-out gear carrier.

    yeah, I'm usually one to overbuild stuff as well (like the cage in my competition stage rally car, which is well beyond requirements). The guys I race with always laugh that my car's structural additions are overkill (but in that case, it's my life vs. a tree at 80mph so it REALLY matters to...

    Hope you all had an excellent Christmas (or whatever else you may be celebrating). My daughters and wife went all-in on buying my camping-related stuff this year, which is probably a major change for them, since before this year I never really camped much at all.... In any case, some useful...

    tubing thickness for swing-out gear carrier.

    I'm looking to build a swing-out carrier for half of the rear of my rig. Tire is door-mounted so this won't carry the tire. The plan is to have it about 2' long (off the left end of the bumper frame) with a 2x2 square tube bottom piece and two 2x2 vertical pieces. The verticals will mount a 24"...

    My oldest offroad vehicle is only 39 years old, but will you give me that extra 1 year since it also has four wheels off?

    Weekend trip: Dolly Sodds, Blackwater State Park, Canaan Valley (W. Va.)

    To finish up 2023 we took a short weekend wheeling/camping trip out to West Virginia, which was one day of great weather (50s even up in the mountains) and one day of torrential rain (but still warm). This one had some great trails and scenery, good primitive camping (if not a bit muddy), and a...
