    Planning a road trip from the bay area, but our first stop is in Redding, CA and slowly make our way up north to Bend, OR by I5-N and then 97N. Then cut over to Eugene, OR VIA 58N, then down south to Mendicino CA with I5- S, 199 and 101. Are there any scenic off road detours that are...

    Sacramento guys, where do you go to tune your CB antenna?

    I'm trying to tune my CB antenna, but I don't really know of any places that have wide enough space to get my antenna tuned in. Any spots you guys know of?

    Gauging interest: Eastern Sierras Trip 5/20~5/22

    Since my friends had something last minute pop up, I'm going solo on this trip. It'd be nice to have some other rigs tag along, especially since I want to check out some new areas like Leavitt Lake and Coyote Flats.

    I'm actually thinking about heading up there in a week or two.

    How bad for your engine to idle for 8 hours?

    Is it too hot for you two, to leave your windows rolled down, and have them covered with a mesh so bugs don't come in? This is what I normally do during hot summer nights and I roll into camp late at night/too lazy to get everything out.

    Need help on finding a overlanding spot in CA

    You'd be surprised by how capable a stock JKU is. Since you're in SJ, try going to Hollister Hills and have some fun there and see the capabilities of your JKU! Better to go with someone who knows the trails though...

    Is a front and/or rear bumper worth it's weight?

    Just wondering... How much have your MPG's gone down? I honestly was expecting an additional 300-400lbs of steel being put onto the truck, and throw in the factor of aero, and I was thinking MPG's would go down at least 2-3mpgs... I know this isn't a fuel economic car/prius.. But I also...

    Is a front and/or rear bumper worth it's weight?

    My 2 real gripes with this hidden front winch mount is... 1. Cost.. I'm already near 1/2 the cost of a full front end. 2. You still have stock approach angle. Not a bad thing but... But this solution was something I was heavily debating since I really am not fond of the weight going on.. But...

    Is a front and/or rear bumper worth it's weight?

    I think you're right... I didn't really think it would decrease only by that small amount. I was expecting near 300-400lbs of additional weight being put on, and then throw in the factor of bad aero, possibly kicking it down 2-3mpg's... Yea, 5 gallons is quite a lot of fuel. Just wondering...

    Is a front and/or rear bumper worth it's weight?

    The thing is, I do wheel quite often, and have ripped my bumper/popped if off, but It still looks fine. Not ghetto by any means. But even though I go often.. Almost weekly, to every other week, the miles I rack during each trail run is a lot... But this is giving me incentives to do it, cause...

    Need help on finding a overlanding spot in CA

    In most cases, I go on trails that are either mentioned or recommended by forum members or friends. As for finding campgrounds, as long as you're in the national forest, or BLM land, you can set up tent anywhere, where you 1) Don't cause problems with traffic IE: Park on the trail and block...

    Is a front and/or rear bumper worth it's weight?

    You also have these options USD $900+ SOS concepts USD $890+ Northwest Trail Innovations C$551.00+ Coastal Offroad That's about all I've seen for the 4th gen 4runners for front bumpers... Or custom. That said, I'm not really a fan of the style of the C4, as I've mentioned. The purpose, of...

    Is a front and/or rear bumper worth it's weight?

    Stock toe hooks... Well shoot.. I've been using those to recover people... Maybe it is a good idea to get a front bumper.. That makes sense. If only the 4th gens had a nice looking stealth bumper, like the 5th gens have. Not really a fan of the C4 stealth bumper... Merp..

    Cobra 19DX IV volume very low? Help!

    I've tried turning the volume knob multiple times to make sure I wasn't going crazy. I'll try opening up the lid, and report back. Thanks!

    Places to go shoot near/in Alabama Hills/Bishop?

    Are there any places that I can take my friends to go shoot my AR near/in Alabama Hills/Bishop while we're there? Even though it is BLM land, I figure we can't shoot everywhere, since it is a tourist area.... thanks!

    Is a front and/or rear bumper worth it's weight?

    Yea, I thought the rear "bumper" on my 4th gen was a bit funny.. It doesn't even cover the full width of the truck.. Thought that was interesting.

    Is a front and/or rear bumper worth it's weight?

    That makes sense... But since an aftermarket bumper won't crumple as easy/at all, doesn't all that energy transfer to the occupants of the vehicle?

    Cobra 19DX IV volume very low? Help!

    AFAIK, my friends can hear me clearly when I transmit. But I might need to test this again... Yes, my SWR meter read ~1.2.
