Made some updates to the trailer today. I moved the bottom mount on the gas springs about 5" farther inboard to give more lifting force under the lid. MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE! But then that made the lid open up higher, which neccessitated a grab handle and limit strap. And finally - I received...

THANKS MARTYN / ADVENTURE TRAILERS!!! I received my Adventure Trailers Jerry Can Holders yesterday, and got them mounted up today. So now (combined with my Tacoma) I could carry up to 25 gallons of fuel, or 15 gallons of gas and 15 gallons of water, or various combinations there of. Stoopid...

If still for sale, can you post the length (closed)?

You need a copilot, Dave? I have logged many hours in the Tacoma platform!

This makes the 4th time I've had to use it because someone got stuck and had NO RECOVERY POINTS. If you didn't have the transit cluster, you'd have to resort to putting a strap around an axle, crossmember, or frame. None of those options are safe, and all of them are likely to lead to damage of...

They offered, but we wanted to continue with our day. The owner of the F350 said that if he had any cash, he would have given it to us, but all he had was a card. I wasn't doing it for money, but at least he offered. I really wanted to lecture them about going out and being extremely...

I agree with you. That was my assessment as well. I was 99% sure that we were okay. I would not have done it, if I thought there was any risk to my truck. ...however - there is TONS of force at work. It can be enough to bend a truck. This guy screwed himself by anchoring to another vehicle...

Me too. I got an email from them this week saying that they expect the batch of cans to ship by February 4th.

Oh yes! ...We said "here are 2 shovels, you guys need to dig there, there, and there". That's true. You should try to avoid this. It's better to chock your wheels. In this case, the gound was so soft that chocks would have just been squashed into the ground, and there was really nothing else...

Today I was out in Anza Borrego with SoCal TTORA, and we just happened to come across these 3 Ford guys out in the middle of nowhere - literally. We were on the open BLM land, not on a trail, and just happened across these guys in the open desert. There was a late model Exploder (bone stock...

When you press the button, that just actuates the locker. It won't actually engage and lock the axle until the 2 halves are lined up properly. If you hit the button, and drove straight and steady on even ground it might never lock. But usually if you press the button, and then drive forward and...

The biggest mpg differences I've noticed are mostly from weight, not really from aerodynamics. When I had my RTT on my truck, I think the weight killed my fuel economy more than anything. I noticed the same when adding steel front & rear armor bumpers, and winch, and skids, and sliders... And...

I want to put down a mat in the cargo area of my FJ62. I bought a generic one from Kragen that said it should fit all types of SUVs - Land Cruisers included, but it's still too small... So I'm wondering if any late model Toyota SUVs would have a rear cargo area that's nearly the same size...

:oops: I guess I didn't read close enough. The one we did is almost identical to this one from the 1st post:

We adapted a heavy duty trailer axle bearing assembly for my tire carrier hinge. I would wager that it's stronger than any of the options you listed.

********!!! :victory: Now there's a fashion term that I can embrace!!! :punk03:

If nobody's used it - I'll take it! I'll use it RIGHT NOW!

I saw these wheels on the 2010 Toyota 4Runner race vehicle today at the San Diego Auto Show. They would look SICK on my Land Cruiser. What are they?
