    Buying my First FJ80 LandCruiser.

    So I'm selling my 2012 Toyota 4Runner which has been my personal car and work car for three years. It's got a lot of get up and go, compared to what people have said, and has been very comfortable. A year ago or so I noticed a neighbor had a 90's landcruiser in his driveway. I didn't know him...

    Tacoma or 4Runner

    I'm sure this has probably been discussed before, but which would you buy? A Tacoma with a shell or a 4Runner? And why? I've had a Tacoma before, a 1996 standard cab and put 150000 miles on it. I know the reliability and dependability. I loved how it worked in the snow, it was like it rode...

    Might buy a 2005 4Runner

    First things first, I've got a 2015 Jeep Wrangler JKU and love it. However, I recently bought a franchise and need a vehicle that's reliable and more of a daily driver than my Jeep is, in the comfort level. I don't want to use my Jeep because it's my fun vehicle, it's going to get a lift...

    Canoe Trip Gear List

    I'm not referring to your normal light weight-ish canoe trip, I'm talking about camping at a lake where you can only paddle in your supplies. I was recently at Forked Lake in NY and the limit of time you're allowed to stay at one site is 14 days. I have known a few people to do this and I was...

    Utility Trailer Axle

    My (found in the weeds) utility trailer works great, but that's for local trips only. I'm nervous about it's axle, the rims are tight but the wheels wobble down the road a little. I'd like to replace it. Should I go to Tractor Supply or is there an axle that anyone here recommends for such an...

    2005 ish Burban vs. 2010 + Tundra CrewMax with cap

    What are your thoughts as a long trip family of four, sometimes 5, plus possibly two dogs. The Suburban is obviously much more affordable. I like the CrewMax a lot, but it doesn't have third row seating, etc. But it's so huge, three could easily sit in the back. Does anyone have experience...

    JKU Question

    Now, I'm no princess and I can handle a rough ride, but after 2000 miles of traveling through Maine, New Hampshire, New York City and Boston, I'm sore. The expansion joints dam near threw me off the road several times and the washboarding on the logging roads was scary. The Jeep only has 5k on...

    Full size crew (short bed) vs. Tacoma Double cab

    I was watching the most recent episode of the web series Expedition Overland and thought to myself, "I wish I had a Tacoma like that". Then I realized, I have basically the same thing, just slightly larger and not outfitted with unlimited funds. I have an '08 Silverado, great truck so far at...

    Serious Question about getting a JKU

    I have a 2008 Silverado that I love, but I have always longed to get back in a Jeep. I had one back after HS and absolutely loved the thing. I am an outdoors, top and doors off kind of person. However now with three kids, I bailed on getting a Wrangler due to not having enough 'space' for...

    Where do you put what when you pack your rig for a trip?

    I'm ever so envious about every build here. The talent of the people here blows me away. When I get the time, I'm planning on building something small, like a small platform in my Silverado Crew, with long bins on either side for stuff and maybe a platform. My real question is this, where do...

    My Christmas list seems heavy towards truck stuff.

    Even though I wish I could get myself a rear bumper, roof rack, etc. I'm sticking with the simple things that I might actually get to use since I don't do a ton of off-roading. I put in for a CB radio, Window Vents, a Hi-Lift jack, a LED Rear Flood light and a brake light strip to look nice...

    Full size rig with trailer, why?

    I'm not trying to pick a fight here, haha, cause I want to turn my crappy little trailer into something I can be proud to tow behind my Silverado. But with the room I have in the bed of my truck and no plans on ever getting a RTT, is there a point to towing a trailer? Speaking mostly for...

    Ideas for my Silverado

    I love seeing all the rigs on these pages, both big and small. You people have imagination and skills I can only long for. Add in the time it takes and the money, and I'm really quite envious. Here's what I'm looking for, it'll be kind of a tick list from you guys and your ideas. Just...

    1500 Silverado Bumpers

    I've noticed on several bumper manufacturer websites, that make winch bumpers, etc., a lot of them don't cater to 1/2 ton Chevy's in the NBS. Any thoughts on why? And has anyone seen a new model Silverado 1/2 with modified bumpers?

    Screwed up mounting my Thule load bars....

    What to do... So got all set up to mount my load bars on my brand new shell, completely nervous mind you to screw in my cap. I measured things out on the topside of the shell but I never checked underneath where there is a double layer of fiberglass reinforcement that I didn't account for...

    Do you ever remove your storage box?

    Since I would think that many of the people who use their pickup trucks as daily drivers as well as their camping vehicles, do you ever take out your storage/sleeping platforms? When you built it, did you build it for ease of removal? If not, why not? I don't plan on using my truck everyday...

    Upgrading...

    I'll be getting a new, to me, truck next week. I haven't completely decided on which one I want but it's down to the F-150 Super Crew and the Silverado Crew Cab. I think I'm leaning towards the Silverado more, I like the looks a little more and the interior looks much more upgraded than the...

    Coleman 12V Cooler Fridge

    Any reviews on it? I recently bought one for $88. I couldn't pass it up. I haven't tried it yet but I will be trying it very soon. :)

    ARE MX Walk Thru Cap

    Has anyone had any experience with this truck cap? I have a cap now but it's too small for me to get in and out of without hitting something and with another baby due in October lord knows I'll need more space. It basically turns a pick up into a hatchback, but the hatchback has a walk in...
