    Limb Risers...

    those loops look too far back to run from the front bumper? also you want them out near the edges or limbs will fall off the cables as they ride up and land on your roof!

    Home made cargo Organizer. My Idea. Your opinions?

    you could build an open bottom platform that spans the whole width and is lower than what you show so your dog can still fit on top and put a drawer in it suspended from the sides. In the off chance you need the factory jack you pull the drawer off and get the jack out.

    Pinz's at Moab..............

    that one with the exo cage was built by a guy in our club. Mainly due to it having a habit of flopping on its side!!! they do not like sidehills at all. Cool rig but slow and cold for up here. so he sold it and bought a JDM landcruiser.

    Modifiy Toyota 3.0

    it depends on how tied to your truck you are. the easy route is to upgrade to a new truck. If you are paying someone to do the swap to a 3.4 there is no cheap way! I also feel an engine swap is never as reliable as a stock engine. so on long trips it may be hard to diagnose a problem. If you...
