Any idea what the TSB number is? I'll occasionally get some grumbling from up there and would love for someone else to do the work for me.

A jig saw with the right blade would also work well for that. I would hesitate using the Dremel only cause I know how quickly those wheels get consumed.

Oh my. That looks like it'll be a fun vehicle when completed. Despite having absolutely no need for one there's something about a SAS'd 4runner or Tacoma that gets my blood pumping.

After having almost ate it multiple times standing on the sliders to get to something on the roof, I went ahead and put some 3M Safety-Walk ladder grip tape on the tops. Install was a breeze, though it took a bit of finessing and several pieces of tape to build the curve at the kick out. Time...

Nice work! I'm going to have to bookmark this to check out the HAM radio stuffs, I already have a CB but have quickly come to realize its limitations. I'm not sure if it will work with your LC, but from what I can find the following ARB fog lights seem to fit most of the bull bars with that...

Great pics is right! Thank you for sharing.

Just saw this pop up on my Craigslist searches. Cool rig. Good luck with sale!

Thanks! I couldn't justify getting anything smaller. If I'm going to be setting up some covered shelter and have the ability to carry it why not go big? Got a Prinsu rack coming for the topper here in the next few months so I'll see what the best way to attach it is. I may be hitting you up...

So true. I am doing my best to limit acquisition of new tools and belongings, but an impact would be a welcomed addition to the stable. I would say that you are right in that this is a job that should probably not be done without one. Otherwise you are just subjecting yourself to cruel and...

The wife is out of town for the week so when the cat is away the mice will play! Spent ~4 hours or so tonight installing the 700lb springs. Did it all solo and have to admit that I am pretty beat after all that. With all the ratcheting necessary to compress the springs I feel like I have a...

I was totally on board for that Sportsmobile until I saw the giant satellite dish on the roof. Pretty sure getting away from that is one of the reasons I'd want to own a Sportsmobile in the first place...

Sounds like the ideal package right out of the gate, although I'm kind of scared to see how much they want for it.

Thanks to my good friends at Downsouth Motorsports I now have a set of 3" x 14" x 700lb King springs to install. Perhaps I'll do the swap this weekend if I'm feeling up to it; still nursing a cold I picked up the other day. If anyone is interested in the 650lb Icon springs I'll be selling those...

Just looking at that scene makes my palms sweat every time.

Thanks for your write up on the RAM mount to the grab handle. I used that the other day to do the same. I could have used a GPS a few times last year so it was an opportune time to stumble upon your write up.

No problem! Glad I could help you make an informed decision.

I can get a picture this evening. Make no mistake, the 8'x8' is a healthy sized awning. That being said, if you are looking for maximal shelter it's the ticket. That and it doesn't look too out of place on the DCLB, a little long, but not absurdly so.

That's funny, sounds like we have moved in opposite directions. Both my wife and I are Pats fans but I have to hand it to the Broncos defense, they played to win and came away with a well deserved win. I was having that conversation with my older brother the other day regarding the practicality...

Interesting. I contacted them to see what they would recommend for a setup and they replied with the following: "Our maximum recommended preload setting for those coilovers is 1.75” of threads showing above the adjuster nut. So at this point I think that upgrading to the 700 pound coils...
