I have a Patriot Camper trailer. It has a big, 270 degree awning made by Supapeg. The awning is very nice, but in order to get the wind walls, I'd have to pay nearly $800 to get them shipped from Australia. All I really need is a way to enclose the kitchen area during inclement (especially...

Can anyone ID this bike rack? I think it's out of Australia. I don't think it would work for my 29" MTB on the front of my Patriot X1, but I'm interested in bike storage options for the X1. Bikes on the roof are not great, and having them on the back interferes with the spare tire carrier...

So I'm planning to pick up my Patriot X1 at the end of summer. What do I need to know about registering it and paying sales tax on it? The dealer won't be collecting taxes, so it will be my responsibility to pay the taxes and get it registered. Does California require a CHP inspection before...

I want a fridge box with a slider. Nothing fancy. I don't need drawers, stove etc. Just a box to house the fridge with a slider for access. The purpose of the box is to allow for proper ventilation and to pack gear on top of, and around it. I can easily make one out of plywood but I prefer...

Just wanted to share some information on the new Goal Zero Yetis. I'm a new convert to fridges from rotomolded coolers. Got a new Dometic CFX3 55im, and thought that's all I needed in a 4Runner for extended road trips. Then I learned about OEM vs. deep cycle vs. dual battery setup vs...

I saw this fridge slider on Dometic's website where they show this guy using one of their fridges. The slider is interesting but not listed as one of their available sliders. It drops down and allows for easier access to the fridge, and has the added benefit of the side table. I've never seen...

Just got a 2019 T4R. It's going to be a daily driver, but also needs to fulfill adventure duties. So I'm having a hard time finding the right roof rack. I had a FrontRunner Slimline on my 2016 Tacoma, but it slaughtered the MPGs. It wasn't a big deal because the Tacoma wasn't a DD. But...

I have a '99 4Runner Limited. It's been my daily driver for 15 years, and has been running like a champ for all that time. It no longer needs to hold DD duty so I can finally build it out. I want to make it more capable, but only minimally. I want to run skinny 32's and upgrade the...

2016 Tacoma TRD Off-Road 4x4 with upgrades. Original owner, clean title. 18,000 miles, mostly freeway from a few long road trips. 8 year, 80,000 mile transferable warranty from Toyota Many UPGRADES: FRONT SUSP: Has upgraded front shocks to Bilstein 5100 up front (these are not the stock TRD...

For those of you who upgraded your Tacoma leaf springs, did you remove the overload spring? I’m adding Icon’s add a leaf and Icon 2.0 shocks, but not sure if I should remove the overload spring. I’ll be carrying standard camping gear and a fiberglass shell, so nothing extreme. But I don’t...

I have a 2016 Tacoma, TRD OffRoad. Those stock Bilsteins are pretty soft. I replaced the front with the Bilstein 5100 (primarily to level the front) and it is much firmer. The rears are still the stock TRD Bilsteins. I have a fiberglass shell and Firestone Airbags. When I'm loaded up with...

Just finished installing my ARB 2500x2500 awning on my FrontRunner Slimline II's. Was worried about how it would mount because it's so big, but no problems. Hangs a little far off the back, but shouldn't be a problem.

Has anyone installed an ARB 2500 awning on a Tacoma? I have the awning already and plan to get the Frontrunner Slimline. I have a Snugtop Rebel Shell on a 2016 Tacoma double cab short bed. I know the awning is a bit large for my truck but I don’t mind it as long as I won’t have any real...

Decided to put airbags to help manage the load of camping gear on my '16 Tacoma. For those of you running airbags, which brands do you recommend? Anyone have the Airlift or Firestone setup? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Just finished a trip to Coyote Flats, in Bishop, CA. Had the most incredible time. Will post a report soon. Got some great shots!

So I'm getting ready for my first big 4x4 camping trip to the Eastern Sierras. I got the truck loaded with just basic camping gear and the back end is squatting more than I expected it to. What's a good way to increase the ride height with minimal modifications. But still maintain good off...

Thanks for the add. Getting ready to head out to Coyote Flats next week. Had to cancel a trip to Monache Meadows. Looks like a few people have Coyote Flats on the calendar for this month. Hope everyone has a safe trip. Love this site so far. Good information. Been camping and backpacking...
