I really like the set up. I took a little while to dial in. We had it ramped up to the max for a while, and that left no down travel. That was pretty rough. The rear springs settled in a bit and we could lower the front some. Smoothed it right out. The alignment hasn't been much trouble at...

I see 11-12 mpg on open road. Inversely proportional to application of right foot. Around 10 with the Chaser in tow. Cheers,

Yes I have. It has been a couple years back. I believe the number came in at 6985 lbs. That was with rack/tent/drawers/fridge/protection/aux tank. No aux fuel or camping gear in there. It's pretty heavy, by anyone's standards. I have gone through 3 different spring rates, and tried air...

I had a full set of 315 Mud Terrains on there for some time. The started to hum the minute I drove away from the tire shop, and only got louder. What I really liked about these tires is how burly the truck looked with them on. There is a lot of talk about rubbing issues and the 315s. I...

Dang Adam!! Really great shots. And thanks for the kind words. Might have to agree with you on the OCD issue. Cheers,

Sure. In my first set of drawers the floor in the set was open. I used turn buckles in the corners. That worked pretty well. In the new set the floor is solid. I removed the third row seating mounts and used those threaded points to secure the drawers to the truck with large fender washers...

Platinum Drop Down Slide Review Thanks for the kind words Kurt, and all the help on the truck. More help needed soon. Colin, I'd be happy to tell you about the Platinum slide. I saw this slide in the Slee display down at the Overland Expo in 2010. I thought it was an amazing concept and a...

A favorite of mine as well. Cheers,

ARB & Winch Switches In the center dash by the transmission shifter I installed the switches for the ARB compressor for the front locker, and a really cool switch next to them. This is a Carling Switch that is a lockable momentary on/off/on. It is our remote winch control. We have a...

Netbook Mount I have never been a fan of the small screens on the GPS units. I can't see a dang thing on there. I have chosen to use a Netbook instead with a blue tooth connect GPS unit on the windshield. I used to use a Ram Mount laptop mount in the passenger footwell. It worked well when...

Passenger Clam Shell The passenger side rear door opens to another clam shell enclosure. This one took a bit longer to put together. It is built a bit taller, at 12" inside. It encloses our on demand hot water shower system, air compressor, and electrical inverter. The water tank for the...

Driver Clam Shell In the driver side rear door, we created storage clam shell / dog bed. Dezi, our black lab, is our company mascot and she travels with us where ever we go. She was going to Baja with us, so she needed a good spot to ride. The box is built with about 4-1/2" of storage in it...

The fridge enclosure also provides some unique storage opportunities on the exterior. Three solid surfaces for mounting equipment, and a space between the driver side window and the enclosure is a good place items used all the time. I store 2 Front Runner Expander Chairs and a 20L Jerry Water...

Drawer Set The drawer set that I used to have in my truck was one that I built out of the spare plywood in my garage and about $40 in carpet, handles and edging. It was a complete experiment. A temporary prototype for better designs to come. No drawer slides, no latches, etc. Just a couple...

I guess I should put this in here too. I have owned this chaser for a while now, and absolutely love it. Trailer • 2007 Adventure Trailers Chaser • BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain 295/75R16s on Toyota UZJ100 factory alloys to match the Land Cruiser • Full lid option • Eezi-Awn Globe Trotter roof top...

Here is a list of the truck modification details through last fall. Just a few things. Suspension / Drivetrain • 4.7L V8 EFI engine • Rear and center differential locks • 4.88 gears with ARB front air locker • Front Runner auxiliary 45-gallon fuel tank, 72-gallon total...

Equipt's Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series Well, this is a long time coming. I am working on a few new things for the 100, and wanted to share them. I looked around and realized that I really hadn't put together a proper thread on the truck. Better late than never. I won't bore everyone with...

Front Runner Expander Chair back in stock! At long last, the Front Runner Expander Chair is again available for immediate shipment. All pre-orders will ship early this week, and we are taking orders. The Expander Chair has been a great success. It's heavy duty design, comfortable fit, and...

I heard back from Bryan at Escape Gear. Here is what he said. "Hi Paul, I doubt that the airbag would push through the seams, or it may but at a slower speed which could have terrible results. On our Toyota Hilux, Fortuner and 200series Cruiser seat covers we use a special red cotton, strong...

We received the 1400 XKLUSIVs in this order. Thanks for catching that for me. We can order other sizes for the next container, if you prefer. Cheers,
