I am really bothered by people who leave their hi beams on. I concur on the few flashes on hi beams to warn oncoming drivers, if they don't turn them down then I blind the hell out of them. I'm curious though. If this wasn't what the OP originally meant, what was it? Also, aux lights wired...

Anything amber with a wide pattern mounted low would work, right?

This is totally true. I haven't seen the first one in Venezuela yet, maybe they're selling those exclusively overseas? While most of the manufacturers are in China, I wouldn't pair them with any of the big names (not even close) as far as quality goes. But I suppose it will get the job done...

Im sorry, but that definitely looks like a bad idea. You're not gonna roll over because of it, but that's obviously a weight bias to one side. Also, that overhang probably isnt good for the tent. Does it open to the DS or PS? I insist, I've seen people strap a ton of things on top of RTT's...

why not just strap the board over the RTT?

Compared to newer devices they are pretty outdated, but if you have it and know how to use it it will give you years and years of reliable service. These things are extremely tough, get great reception, have a huge screen. The downsides are (VERY) limited memory, crappy batteries and somewhat...

A friend of mine designed and made them for LC's. These are made in Venezuela though, i'm not sure how you'd go about purchasing one, but it might give you an idea. visit @lagartotanks on instagram there are plenty of pictures of the tanks installed on 80s (he had one himself) He also did the...

That's a good looking 80! You won't regret owning it, as I imagine would've happened with a Discovery lol You know, there's more than one reason for wanting a snorkel. For one, it helps the engine breathe better on dusty conditions, for example my air filter lasts longer after I installed it...

bknudtsen, have you seen a modern pickup truck bed shaking? a Tundra for example? This clearly shows the difference between the cab riding on rubber mounts and the bed being directly mounted to the cab. The part that's actually shaking is the frame under the body, the vibration is dampened by...

mouse007 is right, down here people use a sort of hood rack to mount traction mats and solar panels on it. I think it looks hideous, plus its impractical (like the spare mounted on a vintage LR or Defender's hood), but it does the job and makes use of otherwise unused space.. Here are a few...

In many third world countries, the color coding for fuel canisters is something nobody pays attention to, or probably doesn't even know about. ( I know this because I live in one..) I've seen people fill up fuel in any kind of canister, whatever the color, even when they specify the fuel type...

Awesome 60, looking forward to the build. As well as fording goes, you'd be surprised how deep the stock 60 can go without drowning, but if you're going to do it regularly, at least extend the differential, transfer case and transmission breathers as prevention. These things take in water...

For ride comfort reasons, the body mounts on more modern cars are softer than they used to be. This means the body doesn't vibrate as bad due to the dampening abilities of the body mounts. If your bumper is solidly mounted (check this), then the shake you can see is the frame moving relative to...

Three Huskies will be a lot less manageable. I have a Jack Russell Terrier and a Flat Coat Retriever. Before I got the Flatcoat, the Jack Russell traveled with the passengers (mostly in the front seat). Afterwards I knew I needed a solution to travel with both dogs. The solution needed to fit...

I thought my Blue Sea 6 circuit fuse block wouldn't be enough for my needs. A year later, I still have empty slots. At the moment I have: Spot Lights, Fog Lights, Reverse Lights and aux 12V socket. I keep my HAM radio directly to both battery posts as per the manufacturer's instructions, even...

IIRC there is a more work orientes version of the 200 series in Australia, which is not as rugged as the 70 series but should prove more than rugged enough for serios expeditions. It is also not on its last production year like the 70 series and should be way more comfortable. I was right...

I have no experience with RTT Annexes and rain, but being venezuelan I do have experience with their customer service. In short, IT SUCKS. They will never admit their product is at flaw, even when it obviously is, so don't believe them when they say other people's products fail in the same way...

It might not be a 4Runner, but my 3RZ Prado is usually shifted around 3000-3500. It moves pretty well, at 70mph it is at around 3300rpm and I can get around 550km out of 70 liters of fuel

If you only want to fill the bumper with two lights and have the ARB fog inserts, get a pair of halogen spot beams and a pair of LED cubes in driving/flood beams. Why? Halogen spots will throw better light in the distance and LEDs will cover the ground directly in front of the vehicle (and the...

Those are factory snorkels. Also, they are heavily armored (My guess would be up to maybe a .223).
