    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Be aware that these are too bright to be used on public roads, and you effectively lose functional fog lights going this route. Think of them more as flood lights.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Thank you, Dave! That's a lot of good information for not documenting it. :) I forgot you weld everything, so I'd need to have someone help out. I've considered those aluminum tinker-toy pieces for putting something similar together sans welding, but at more cost. The design is simple, though...

    Arrrg! Still can't see any photos you post from your Google account using my phone, tablet, desktop or laptop; all on Safari.

    Steve’s 2016 Toyota 4Runner Modification and Adventure Thread

    Probably too much, if I'm being honest. The Baja Designs are a little overwhelming compared to what I was expecting. Their web site shows a very wide and very narrow beam pattern, not something that's gonna burn the trees overhead! :) On the other hand, I can probably eliminate the basket with...

    @NorCalCrisp @roamingtimber Yes, they are hugely brighter! Maybe too much. Amber is supposed to cut through fog better. I think I still have them aimed too high.

    Looks good, Dave! Do you have a photo without the 'fridge? And what drawers slides did you use? I'm gonna need to make something similar for the 50 qt cooler.

    I installed the Baja Designs Squadron-R Pro amber wide fog light kit today. I got them through the Total Automotive Performance group buy on T4R.org. These things are crazy bright!!! I'll adjust them when it gets darker. I should have marked the height of the OEM fogs on cardboard to know how...

    SVO ....Small Vehicle Overlanding

    I guess if we're talking about a go-anywhere small vehicle, the Citroen 2CV, with it's adjustable suspension would be a good candidate, too. They were made for farm roads.

    SVO ....Small Vehicle Overlanding

    Small: I sold that last summer. It was not much of an overland vehicle, though. :smirk:

    There's no way I would call the S-10 Blazer a small vehicle! SmallER, than a full size Blazer, yep, but small? Nope. :smirk:

    Well, that's really disappointing! I took it out on the highway after I posted the photos, and it thrums horribly! I can feel it through the whole vehicle, and feeling the headliner, it noticeably shakes. I had this happen when I mounted the basket/fairing/LED bar on my Outback, but the basket...

    Hammocks

    There's a forum specifically about hammocks, and mostly about camping in them at http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/forum.php It is amazing all the cool stuff available, and like the off-road/overland market, there are a ton of folks making very specific bits and pieces for hammock camping. As...

    Thule Crossroads 450 with 58" square bars, two Thule Hull-a-Port Pro kayak racks, and a Yakima LoadWarrior with 18" extension on my new Toyota 4Runner Trail Premium. I haven't quite figured out where to mount the ARB 2500 awning yet.
