    Most definitely! You will need either wheel spacers or new wheels to get the tires away from the frame. Then you will need to trim the front and rear of the fender wells quite a bit. It's not hard work but there is some trial and error involved.

    My SH Subaru Forester

    The rack setup is so clean! I love it! The mattress is similar to what I used in my Prius for long road trips. I also used screen material with a few magnets hotglued to it to cover the windows. The screens worked to keep insects out while you sleep with the windows down or cracked. You can...

    Wildebeest Outdoors build thread

    LOL totally! No offense meant for the kid. I thought it was a grown man trying to hide and stay out of the photo. Haha

    2015 F-150 XLT 4x4, and new to the forums

    Very nice! Did you have the Icons custom valved? Seems people either love or hate them for riding to rough at slow speeds unless the valve them softer or have the adjustable versions.

    Nice rig! What's up with the creeping/sleeping/homeless dude lying on the ground behind your truck (1st pic)? LOL

    Overweight or just Right?

    I've found the advertized curb weight is usually pretty accurate +-150lbs. At least for my GM trucks. The 5th gen T4R shows a curb weight of 4,750 for the TRD Pro and Trail. The SR5 is listed as 4,400-4,675.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Bummed I missed the meetup. I was stuck at home with the kid and clearing brush on the property.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I would suggest adding gusset braces to those C brackets. Those things scare me.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I used it to haul our bikes to a women's MTB skills clinic on one of my preserves. Then I proceeded to mount my Quickfists to hold the shovel I've been hauling around for 2yrs. Then I cleared all of the water that had seeped into my foglights when I got stuck in the snow last month. There was...

    A trip to recover recovery boards. And getting stuck, again.

    I learned that one needs more than just gummy bears if one plans to get stuck for hours. Your jaw gets pretty tired after awhile. :)

    A trip to recover recovery boards. And getting stuck, again.

    Thanks! :) And no boards. I could have hiked the rest of the way once I was free but there was no place to get off the road and I was already 3hrs later than I said I would be. She's still mad about my last "got stuck" text message. lol

    99 Tahoe build

    It's like against forum rules to say you got new tires and not post pics! Doing it in a build thread borderlines on blasphemy! :)

    A trip to recover recovery boards. And getting stuck, again.

    I went out to try and recover the recovery boards (Maxsa and Treds) Trev and I left on the trail during out snowstorm adventure last month. Trev warned me it was probably still to snowy to be safe, especially solo but I'm fairly stubborn and the more it dries out there more people will run the...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I got her stuck, again, trying to recover the recovery boards I left on the trail last time I got stuck. I was only 1 mile away from where I got stuck last month. And no I didn't hike to look for the other boards. I was too concerned with getting back out before it got dark. I'd be really mad if...

    2018 GMC Canyon MTB/Overland/Adventure Rig

    I installed the Midland MTX115 GMRS radio this morning. The hardest part was figuring out how I wanted to mount the magnetic base antenna and get the huge connector through the lower dash without taking the center console apart. The radio unit is small so it left me with plenty of room to access...

    Inside Organizing

    I have a One-Tigris seat-back MOLLE organizer as well and love it. I just bought a similar organizer for my sun visor for $10 on Amazon. I will add frequently used items that routinely get lost in the abyss of my center console....
