There are three ARB compressors. The basic one is recommended for only locker use, second one (the one I have) is recommended for lockers and "other" uses and I believe is 33% duty cycle, the third is the large one which is basically two of the ones I have and is 100% duty cycle.

I was wondering how a trasharoo would do on my gobi ladder. Glad to see it works for you. Awesome build!

Gabe, any trouble fitting the Diehard 31M in the factory location? Did you need longer J hooks? I'm looking at the same battery and just wondering if I'll run into any issues..
Thanks
Thanks
Nope. No issues at all with physical fitment.
The only thing I had to do was bend one of the positive leads coming from the fuse box to reach the battery terminal.
My wife and i are expecting our first child here in the next couple of weeks so my buddy and i decided to embark on a last weekend trip before our trip to the FJ Summit in July. the plans were to travel north to Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree and our 3rd home 29 Palms MCB. We left San Diego friday afternoon for a three day excursion through some area we hadn't visited in decade.
My iPad and MotionX GPS app proved to be a godsend as we had forgotten how to get around.
Started our saturday morning checking out a series of gold mining tunnels about 30 miles east of 29 palms. These mining tunnels were incredible and unbelievably nerve wracking to explore.
We set up for lunch and a beer on top of an old mining headquarters patio. I lost my rear passengers mudflap backing up onto it...looks like its time for a CBI rear bumper hahah
Found a pretty great look out a few miles east of 29 palms
Here's a better view of my buddies lightly used '85 4Runner
the great thing about sleeping in the 4Runner is being able to wheel into the wee hours of the morning and not worrying about where you're setting up camp. this was our first nights primitive camp on some dunes.
I tried to recreate some awesome night shot photos I've seen on here but forgot my tripod so had to settle with a duffle bag. heavy winds made it difficult but came out ok overall
the second day out was a heavy wheeling day and i didn't get too many photos as were blazing the trail. we did happen to make it in to the national park for a drive through, as i had never been to Joshua Tree.
Overall, it ended up being a very relaxing trip... A calm before the storm, if you will. we put in a good 120 miles on dirt in the end and the rig held up well. looking forward to spending the next several years wheeling the hell out of her and creating lifelong memories with my wife and daughter.

So it's been a while since i've updated the build page but the wheels keep on turning in the Mod department.
I got a great deal from CBI Offroad and [MENTION=62034]Keemonrunnin[/MENTION] for their new 5th Gen rear bumper with Swing out. it ended up not being specifically built for my year but worked out just fine in the end.
Once Installed, this was the first iteration of the bumper with RotoPax, and pizza cutter KM2. The plan was/is to run the vehicle without the swing out for daily driving purposes, which is working out quite well...with one exception, i'll get to that in a bit.
this is the temporary solution to sealing up the swing out post from the elements. [MENTION=62034]Keemonrunnin[/MENTION] and i have been discussing things to use and i think he will come up with a solution before i attempt to look around for one.
After seeing a build page on TacomaWorld (Mcgrimm's Mall Crawler) i had to make a camp shower out of a scepter water can for the wife...it makes things easier when the wife is happy :kiss:, so i decided to scrap the 4 gallon Rotopax for the CBI dual can carrier. the plan is to carry my modified water can with potable water and use it for all my camping uses, which will save room inside the rig too. the 5 gallon scepter not only looks cool, but also gives me an extra gallon of fuel over the rotopax. I purchased a good ol' 6' super siphon to refuel straight from swing out which will be great on my back.

You may be asking "won't carrying your water outside make it hot", and the answer is yes. So...i remedied that problem by buying one of these...
:laugh:
aside from my wife liking the idea of having cold food without the mush, i have been using a few Nalgene bottles in the fridge to save space over too many water bottles. when the Nalgene's are out, i refill with water from the Scepter and chill them while i drink a cold one. maybe not too advanced, but i'm proud of it lol.
the 50QT fits perfect in the 4R and i used the tie down points i built in earlier along with the ARB tie down kit and it is solid and more importantly allows me to use the factory slide out tray.

With the anticipation of adding about 450pounds to the rear (130 for bumper, 55 for swing out, 80 for spare tire and wheel, 60ish in scepter fluids, 50 for ARB, and extra gear) i ditched my custom CSS coils with Icon 2" specs, and picked up some OME 2895's (250ish lbs).
Initially the 2895's were great because they gave me about 2.5" of lift over stock (without the swing out). unfortunately, after a recent Big Bear trip, it ended up dropping me about 1.5" with full gear. So i ended up picking up some 2896's (318lbs) from [MENTION=74569]SOcalTRAIL[/MENTION] and will be installing those this weekend. Hopefully they're enough...
