    Need Expo Roof Rack for Lexus GX470.

    Check with Paul at Equipt Expedition Outfitters. He is piecing together a Front Runner rack for my 4Runner using components from other vehicles. I think the GX is also a possibility for a custom fit. We will be doing the test fit In two weeks. The Front Runner rack is a great product and...

    Dual Battery System Management Recommendations?

    I have the National Luna system. I've had it in my 06 4Runner for about a year now and run two Odyssey deep cycle batteries. I was impressed with it from the moment I opened the box. Everything is included, quality, and the install couldn't have been more simple. The system is quality all...

    Things you do on the trail to improve the off roader image.

    Good thread. Not only a chance to get ideas and help each other improve the image of off roaders, but maybe educate some that have yet to adopt the same mindset. A few things.... We (my family) do, but maybe need to do more. I carry an old military duffel so we can stop along the trail and...

    Identify this Backpack

    Ski patrollers have shucked their fanny packs for full-size backpacks, with room for medical, avalanche, and chairlift evacuation gear. The patroller-designed Pron Backpack has 9 internal pockets, and two belt pouches. It’s a scoche heavy for a 1400-cubic-inch pack, but the compartmentalization...

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    OK, I'll throw mine in as well. It's still a work in progress, but I've been having a lot of fun wheeling it and building it. A lot of good ideas came from this site as well as a few other Toyota based forums. This is just after the build began. Suspension is Total Chaos mid travel kit up...

    NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! FJ Cruiser Vs. 4Runner Trail Edition?

    Finding a clean used 4Runner and letting the original owner take the hit on the initial depreciation is a good option. Don't worry to much about the 09 with the rear locker. It certainly is nice, but adding the ARB air locker isn't that expensive and you might end up regearing anyway depending...

    NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! FJ Cruiser Vs. 4Runner Trail Edition?

    I'll agree with headroom on the entry. I'm only 5'11" and I have to enter carefully, once in I have plenty of headroom. My son is 6'1" and he is also good with headroom, but I can see that this might be an issue. Entry is effected of course by seat height as well as interior headroom, and I...

    NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! FJ Cruiser Vs. 4Runner Trail Edition?

    I have an 06 V8 4Runner and I love it. I've taken this rig on everything from mild to wild trails and it continues to impress. I have driven the FJ and liked it as well, but I also wanted something that would be comfortable for passengers, (family trips) and could tow my ski boat. The 4Runner...

    Best sub $100 air compressor?

    I'll cast another vote for the MV50. I've had mine for a few months and have used it about 5-6 times. Of course a few of those times also included airing up others with me. The only problem I had with mine is that the air chuck was bad when I got it new, but instead of hassling the return I...

    I have the Pioneer Z3 Head unit. It's a great unit for music, video and street GPS functions. It doesn't however, allow you to load Topo maps or waypoints.

    Best Bags for Camera Equipment??

    Pelican 1527 I have one of these as well for my video camera. It's by Pelican and it is a decent size soft camera shoulder bag, that's designed to then fit nicely into the 1500 series pelican hard case. Travel or transport with the hard case, pull out the soft case (already loaded and ready...

    Best Bags for Camera Equipment??

    Pelican is a great choice for ultimate protection in a hard case, water tight etc. But if you're looking for a "camera bag" that is the ultimate and used by many professionals, especially for video and film production, check out Portabrace. Can be expensive, but you won't be disappointed...

    SPOT Rental - www.trackme360.com

    I like the idea. It would be a nice piece of mind on the trail as well as a way for those back home to relax knowing all is OK. I can even use it to threaten my teenage daughter, (she won't know if it's in her car or not). :smiley_drive: I noticed they didn't make it easy to find the...
