Baja California I spent my Christmas break camping on beaches, spearfishing, and finding awesome fishing villages along the coast. I started in Tucson, Az. Crossed the boarder in Mexicali and headed down to San Felipe. Then down along the east coast to Gonzaga bay, and Bahia De Las Angeles. We...

Rear Power I wanted to use the flood lights in the rear bumper as camping lights, so i ran power to the back right panel in my truck, and added some accessories. I used a switch and relay to wire up the LED's in the bumper. I then ran a 12v usb and Aux plug to run my water pump. I also added...

4plus products Bumper 4Plus Products makes pretty awesome bumpers, I picked this one up from Dave over in Miami, Az a few weeks ago. This was only his second 80's rear bumper build and it went on pretty smoothly. Its a nice tight fit, with integrated LED flood lights and dual swingouts. The...

Oh absolutely. It has totally changed our view on camping. I still enjoy roughing it on hunting and backpacking trips, but when the gf wants to come its steaks, cold drinks, and RTT time! I'm curious, what camera are you using, your photos are fantastic! Good job.

Weekend Trip Had a fun weekend driving around AZ. Here are some pics of the camping trip. Truck performed flawlessly and even with a busy Labor Day crowd we still managed to get away from people and camp in remote areas...that's the beauty of a capable truck. On the way up to Payson the traffic...

LabRak Sorry for not keeping up with this Forum. I've been busy using my truck ;-) I'm always driving around either hunting, camping, backpacking or mountain climbing so I keep a lot of gear with me at all times. I like keeping cooking gear, water, tools, and blankets in my truck and...

Thanks, its extremely comfortable. I have seen a few on Craigslist but was too slow to jump on them. Might need some rock sliders to use as step stools to set it up tho.

Overland Expo 2015 Loaded up and headed out for the expo over the weekend. I was in the market for a used RTT. Unfortunately I didn't find any great deals on rtt's at the expo. Sierra Expeditions was offering 5% off, and there weren't many used/expo models available in the price range...

Fzj80 Drawer

Prinsu Roof Rack My Prinsu Roof Rack came in, and the install was very straight forward. My Passenger Front door was hitting on the bolt head when I opened the door so I had to grind down one of the rain gutter clamps. I think it looks awesome, cant wait to throw a RTT up there!

Sounds like an awesome adventure! I have a '94 Fzj80 that I am planning on driving from Arizona up to Alaska in the next year or so, cant wait to get up there! Have fun with the build

I have called around town to see if I could find any 80 series LC mechanics. Haven't had much luck finding LC specific shops. Let me know if you do. Though, for your ball joints and control arms I figure most reputable shops would have no problem handling that

Thank you, I'm happy with them. Drawer slides are High Capacity 40" Slides (6603A56). The pair has a rating of 440 lbs and one slide comes with a locking mechanism. Unfortunately the price was higher than I initially estimated, probably in the ball park of $750 for all the material (Baltic Birch...
