Since you've already got no bumper, get a winch on that thing! I've found my winch infinitely more useable than traction boards. However, both can be helpful in different circumstances. The Expedition is rad!

I used to on an R50 Pathfinder and while I owned it I had often wished I had an Xterra! They're sweet.

To clarify for OP, the base model will come with open front/rear diffs, no fancy traction control modes, etc. I believe it does still come with Toyota's standard ATRAC mode. But other than that I don't think there's a whole lot of a difference. I got a TRD-offroad model 4Runner because it came...

Do you mind clarifying something? To get the transfer case front driveshaft on the correct side for the FJ80 axle it looks like you installed an RF1A transfer case in post 64, did you have to use an adapter to your stock transmission? I've been curious about this. I have a 96 Tacoma and the W59...

New project - I've got my work cut out for me, boys.

I once did the passport turnaround! I was in Anchorage, AK heading through Canada to Juneau, thankfully remembered my passport about 45 min from home, but the ramifications would have been a full day burned and the trip likely toast.

I've had it installed for about 2 years now, and have used it about 40-50 times for light/mild pulls. So far no issues. I keep a neoprene cover over it when not in use.

I'm giving it a shot and so far it's worked as expected compared to some of my other more expensive winches. Time will tell on longevity, but I've used it quite a bit without any issue at all. I've heard it might be worthwhile to pop it apart and grease, or ensure there's grease, on the...

I do like that the OEM Grenedier one has hole provisions for the bolt on hitch styles. But if you're never going to use one of those then a more flush receiver would make sense.

Your post made me think of this - I listened to an episode of Wheel Every Weekend podcast and I believe he's building a Trailblazer to race in the stock class at King of the Hammers: https://wheeleveryweekend.buzzsprout.com/946198/episodes/17702227-untitled-episode-3-3-fast-3-episode-family...

I basically have this setup: Foldable camping toilet and privacy tent. I then use Walmart WAG bags. I place used ones in a dry bag that is usually strapped outside the vehicle.

Those tube fenders turned out great! I wonder how something like that would look on my 1st gen Tacoma... I haven't seen anyone do it, but the OEM fenders are unobtanium.

Starting to feel like spring!

Is the best place to watch the Dakar not-live on YouTube? I've always wanted to watch, but I'm unsure where to watch. All I find on YouTube are clips and old stuff.
