Here is my 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser 79, I've pimped out to the max.
I've done a YouTube video where I walk through all the mods in finer detail if you're interested.

Thanks TJ. I always watch the Utah/Washington videos and froth like dish water about the mega trails and terrain you guys have.

Aloha! I'm a long time lurker. Have learned a ton from all the conversations on this site, so am grateful for the community and amazing people I've crossed paths with. "Goose" is our family-mobile; a '22 F150. The wife is slowly warming up to the idea of taking longer trips to remote places, so I'm stoked, haha. For the moment, the kids and mom sleep comfortably in the truck bed (with the RSI cap). The 270 awning has been pretty awesome, seeing action in the winter as well as summer.
Weight management has been a challenge with the squishy suspension...I put in some lift springs and a .5" spacer in the back to compensate. So far so good, but am learning with every trip on what, and how much, to pack. It's so frigg'n fun. haha.
Looking forward to joining a future outing with the OB group!

Very nice, love the smart cap, can't wait to get mine.

Thanks @Thomas Hastings! Saw your beast as well!
Our setups are similar with the cap and Decked system. Both are awesome. Between the magnetically friendly structure, exterior rack rails, and interior rivnuts, there are options for smart cap mods, you'll have fun dialing it in for your needs. Good call on getting beefier springs in the rear, I had to do the exact same.
Where can I get the hoop attachment for my EX? Just started building one out as well

Finally had my custom leaf springs, made by ALCAN SPRING in Grand Junction, CO, installed today them. They also installed their u-bolt flip kit. Gave them a little test run. There are some before and after pictures and some flex photos on a random BLM trail I found just outside of Colorado National Monument.
It’s nosediving and I expected that, they are designed to hold 600 pounds normal. I still am waiting on my smart cap to arrive which was part of the calculated weight. They have a 2 1/2” lift built in, not to actually lift the truck but to be able to remove the factory block which is 2 1/2”.
I doubt the extra 200 pounds from the smart cap will bring it down to the factory rake height, if it does, fine, but I don’t suspect it will. If it’s still riding like an old school hot rod after the cap install, I’m going to add some GEISER 2 1/2” progressive springs to the front. That will obviously bring the front up but should still leave some rake it it which is how I want it.

Here is my full sized rig - GMC HD2500 Denali 4X4 Duramax. Just took a trip to Alabama Hills, going to southwest Utah for 10 days in May. I have all the recovery gear and tools to replace a tire in swing out compartments on the side of the bed, some cargo mounts in the bed for water/fuel, and we just use a REI base camp 6 tent (4 season). I have an awning that comes off the rear of the truck for some shade when we set it up. Added the front bumper with Superwinch and Rigid 3” cube lights recently as we like to do Astrophotography which will involve doing some night driving.

Beginning a new build will consolidate slowly as I build this beast up
A 2021 F250 7.3L came with a slight lift and 37x12.50x20 tires.

Ok that’s an incredible build. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Cool video, too!
