I run a Dometic CFX35 inside my rig. Granted it doesn’t get too hot in Alaska in summer, so keep that in mind when you read this. I use a Goal Zero Yeti 500x to power my fridge. I bought the 12v car adaptor for it to charge on the go, but I probably never plug it in for more than 2 hours a...

The almost 400 response GX owner’s post at the top of this forum seems like a logical place to start. And yes, as others have said, a quick YouTube or Google search shows countless solid GX460 builds. These are capable and reliable vehicles, some minor modification (mostly to approach angle)...

I agree about the msrp. Post Covid the Toyota dealership near me was marking up everything ridiculous amounts, yet the Lexus dealership across the parking lot was selling right at msrp… not saying this will be cheap at all, but I’m hoping it isn’t insanely expensive. Love my wife’s GX, so I’ll...

I have the same feeling you do. Towed a 19’ RPod all over Nevada, California, and Arizona (it is our basecamp when we escape AK and the trailer stays in the SW). I use my tacoma because we can do all the trails we want and return to a nice camp. Towing isn’t the best experience, especially in...

This would be a perfect build for up here in AK, but I can’t justify selling both cars just so my wife and I could share this one…. Nonetheless I’m going to harass my friends to buy it so I can live vicariously through them!

I live in Anchorage and I’m spreading this around to my friends, since I’m not in a position to buy it. Great build though!

no joke. Finding all the teeth was a chore.

Just reviving this thread to offer some info. I bought the Xbulls because I don’t generally find myself stuck enough to justify Maxtrax. I treat most of my recovery gear as an “in case”, since I often travel solo throughout Alaska and I try not to get too crazy. I’ve used my xbulls twice...

Hey sorry I’ve been away. The LED light bar mount came from rough country. It’s the only thing I’ve ever bought from them, but it fits nicely. The light mounts use the same mounting points as the winch mount. There was plenty of thread and I just mounted it with the winch mount (frame, winch...

Not a 4runner, but my 2019 Tacoma TRD OR with stock Bilsteins didn’t love having a hidden winch mount/winch on it. It wasn’t terrible for normal driving at all, but as soon as I got onto rough dirt with any undulation there was more excess movement than I would’ve liked. I had planned on new...

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to add to this in case anyone is searching it. I have the CBI hidden winch mount. Great construction with beautiful welds and very well reinforced. Minimal cutting of the lower bumper cover, since the hawse fairlead sits outside of the lower bumper...
