    Diode Dynamics on ARB Bumper - Pics Wanted

    Those kits look awesome but I can't find anyone running their SS5 pods or bars as their main lights (like your BD LP9s) on ARB bumpers anywhere. Wondering how they look. I personally prefer big lights over light bars as main lights up front, just for mere aesthetics, but the Diode Dynamic SS5...

    Diode Dynamics on ARB Bumper - Pics Wanted

    IS anyone using these lights on an ARB Bumper? Specifically the SS3 pods as main lights? All I can find online are stockish setups or low profile bumpers. I'd be interested in seeing your setups. Looking to run these! Thanks Luis

    Long Range America replacement tank for 80 series

    This is very true. You won't save time unless you're driving solo or driving with people who have the same range as you. You will, however, reduce the risk of filling up poor quality gas from far-out gas stations that the other's will be forced to use, so that may be a plus depending on where...

    Long Range America replacement tank for 80 series

    Well 16 extra gallons does go a long way. Its about 75% more fuel and subsequently that much more range. With an 80, I'd say you go from doing about 250 miles per tank to about 450 with a replacement tank. I've always said extended range is, at best, extremely convenient. At worst, its a...

    Long Range America replacement tank for 80 series

    I havent used the Long Range America tank per se, but I've had both aux tanks and long range main tanks in a few vehicles now and there's definitely a few pros and cons to each. Fuel shortages down here make modified fuel tanks almost a necessity for travel, so we usually have a LOT of fuel on...

    Do we really need a spare?

    There are a few downsides to this. Weight is something of an issue, pinch flats are super common and removing tires requires a super long awkward allen wrench not everyone carries. Plus, if you have a flat and run on the runflat (heh) you'll destroy the tire after a while. I can't understand...

    Double Fridge slide?

    tiltslides wont work without a drawer system, I don't think it'd clear the tailgate in order for it to tilt. And if he adds a drawer system to the already tall vehicle, he'll further add to the problem.

    Baja Designs vs KC Highlites?

    I've used KC lights for the past 12 years. From halogen, HID to LED. Their products are great, they're super bright and have stood up to some serious abuse. I recently had the chance to experience their customer service and warranty and have to say I'm super pleased. They replaced a set of...

    Double Fridge slide?

    well, you'd be adding a hundred pounds of weight, plus quite a few hundred $$ for a very complex, wobbly solution. I agree your best bet is to buy a couple flat-folding stools, have them handy in the vehicle and use them to get to the fridge..

    Do we really need a spare?

    I've gone complete sets of tires without a puncture, and have had a brand new couple of tires destroyed within 600km of installing the set. One time is one too many for it to happen. I will always carry a spare, no matter the weight. I also carry a plug kit and obviously have a compressor in...

    2022 Hilux Single Cab Build

    Differentials are the same, powertrain is also the same. I would believe there's a difference in gear ratios that compensate for the payload capacities to each powertrain combination. Frame, suspension and brakes are different. Frame and suspension are definitely set up for heavier loads in the...

    Owning and Overlanding in a FJ40 - What are the Pros and Cons?

    Don't get me wrong, I love mine as well, but I wouldn't drive it on the regular 8-10hr drives I usually take on my truck. Mine is bone stock, mechanically sound so reliability is not an issue (although I've never driven it for so long). But comfort is a huge issue. Noise, heat and seat comfort...

    Aggressive all terrain or less aggressive all mud terrain?

    You may be right, but if you can take my word for it, seriously consider the Toyo AT's. Performance is great and durability is incredible.

    Aggressive all terrain or less aggressive all mud terrain?

    sliding off a cliff at 1/2mph without being able to control looks like a situation where not even mud tires wouldve saved you, but you'll probably never know. Glad you're OK. There is a noticeable difference in performance between a HT tire and a MT one. AT Tires are a gray area that will lean...

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    I was finally able to install a canopy on the Hilux. Super happy with how it turned out, incredibly practical, makes loading the truck that much easier and keeps everything safe, clean and dry.
