Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Looks like you had a good time. I like the rig and trailer setup

I used the truck to help shuttle 22 women around the mountain (plus 2 vans) for a mountain bike retreat. I ended up removing the bed rack and RTT on the second day because the 4-bike rack was so floppy I was worried it would damage my hitch on the rutted out fire road climb. I definitely need to install a hoist in my garage for this thing. I found that with the shorter bed (5.2") vs. the long bed (6.2") I can't swing bikes over the tailgate and under the rack as easily as I did with the old truck so now with the rack in place I can only comfortably get 3 bikes over the tailgate. With the RTT on it's even harder so maybe 2 bikes at most. Grrr The only way to get more bikes to fit is to lower the tailgate halfway and put bikes in which is a major pain. Needless to say I won't be running around with the RTT mounted very much and outside of camping season the bed rack will come off too.
4 regular bikes, an e-bike, rack, RTT and traction boards = approx. 470lbs and a very floppy bike rack. *The missing 5th bike was on its way back to the truck when the photo was taken.
I would much rather shuttle like this.

Wow I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I lived so close to such a beautiful place. I’d never be home.

Hello,
Well now, after the new gears, 4.88, today put on 4 new 31 x 10.5 x 15 BFG KM3s! On the drive home and climbing the hills, the gearing feels just right for my Jeep Cherokee. My turbo diesel motor is in the right power band or rpms now. Nice to have this part of my build finished! Only took Two different sets of gears and tires, along with a wheelbarrow full of money, but the Red Baron is flying high again! Benz.

Today I used ROK straps to mount Maxtrax to the spare tire, added a microphone mount for my CB and a radio mount for my BCA BC Link two way radio.

Started working on a roof rack. Hope to have it mounted up by the weekend and start wiring on some lights and weld in a permanent mount for the high lift and a pioneer tool kit.

Opened a box of goodies for my 4Runner.... SSO slimline front bumper, lights, D rings, and a light switch. Now just waiting on my winch so I can install everything.
