    Generation-One Tundra Front Brakes

    Nope. Did the same brake upgrade on my '05 Sequoia (same as the Tundra). You'll need 17s.

    "Cheaper" seats for overland travel?

    That's the first time I've had any thought called "logical" in a while. Make me feel kinda weird :LOL: I bought a Scheel-Mann for our dearly departed Sequoia's driver's seat. In retrospect, it would've made a lot more sense to just replace the foam that the previous owner had put nearly a...

    "Cheaper" seats for overland travel?

    I haven't seen this suggested, but...if the seats were comfortable before being worn out...why not just try and source new seat foam for said seats?

    campsite pics..lets see um

    Man...I thought it was great when our then company of 10 piled into an RV and another vehicle and drove to our CEO's house on the shore across from Wallops Island to watch a launch (that was scrubbed). So...um...where can I send a resume? :unsure:

    Talk to me about insulated canvas

    So...couple valid points have been touched on. I got the insulation in ours AND we have an OVRLND on our truck like @montechie with the insulation. TL;DR...get the insulation. You're not winter camping, but those longer, cold nights will bleed any heat through the vinyl and you'll really have...

    Arkto G12 Review and Discussion

    Good points on lighting. I didn't even think of it as we carry around two of the Devos Lightranger 1200 lights (highly recommend). As it is, the exterior lighting is ok for scene/general illumination to avoid things moving around but not real effective as the sole light to cook by. I do like...

    Arkto G12 Review and Discussion

    Awesome! 1. When we got ours, 400AHr was the most battery power he had and AC wasn't an option. As much as Virginia sucks, that would've been a nice option, but that's unique to any use case...and once we move to WY in a couple years will, hopefully, be a nonissue! An upgrade we should've done...

    Arkto G12 Review and Discussion

    Awesome! We actually spent a couple days in Missoula at an AirBnB while on the way to pick up our trailer back in May. Paul's Pancake Parlor is eeeeeeeeeeevil! HAHAHAHA

    Arkto G12 Review and Discussion

    Call/email Arkto. Aaron and his crew are amazing and will hook you up if there's anyone in the area. There's also a FB group Arkto Campers G12 Owners that you can join and see if anyone there can help (Aaron is on there as well). I don't think there are many of us on ExPo, comparatively.

    Convince me an Arkto G12 (or something I haven't thought of yet) will suit a family of 3's needs

    I haven't. I do want to run over some scales with the truck packed and then, again, with the trailer packed, but just haven't gotten around to it. One of these days I'll measure tongue weight at home. It IS, however, really easy to adjust given the amount of storage behind the axle. My PW is...

    Convince me an Arkto G12 (or something I haven't thought of yet) will suit a family of 3's needs

    Be sure to ping Aaron (@Arkto ) as he may have a willing owner in the area that would be happy to show you their trailer. I lucked out as he hit me up here when I was looking and it just happened that a local just got home with theirs and was more than happy to meet. Resulted in two sales as a...

    American Adventure Lab M.A.S.S. Spare Tire Platform (STP) w/ Straps - $400 - Northern VA

    I could've had it at least as close as central WY two months ago ;) I'd say make a road trip, but...the East Coast is blech, and it's currently hurricane season, and it's been oppressively humid and hot for 6+ weeks straight. :cautious: In other words...we can't wait to get the hell out of here...

    American Adventure Lab M.A.S.S. Spare Tire Platform (STP) w/ Straps - $400 - Northern VA

    All the specs are here on AAL's site. In a nutshell, you're looking at a super lightweight, all raw aluminum platform for most 33-40" spare tires that allow for mounting things to the sides like Rotopax or anything you can bolt to them, and Maxtrax/TredPros to the front as it's pre-drilled for...

    campsite pics..lets see um

    We ran it for just 2ish days the last week of May. Despite regular squalls, nothing ever accumulated and I welcomed any precipitation as the dust was insane! It looked like they'd just graded nearly the entire part we were on. In fact they WERE grading Ya Ha Tinda which provided a bit of slot...

    campsite pics..lets see um

    Different angle on some of our recent campsites from a month-long trip that took us from Virginia to western Montana, up to Edmonton, back down to Montana, to Lander, WY, and the Badlands before the slog back east. Along the Forestry Trunk Road just south of Kananaskis Country, Alberta, Canada...

    Sequoia Gen 1: 2001-2004 vs 2005-2007 for Overlanding

    Get the '05+ and replace the ball joints with OEM as soon as practicable unless you're very, very sure they've been taken care of with quality parts. Also the timing belt if there aren't any records. Everything that smokeysevin said is true, EXCEPT the bypass kits are still very much around...

    Does what I want exist?

    Granted...I'm biased...but definitely look at the Arkto G12 that @Obsessed2findARuggedHybid mentioned. Admittedly it'll start getting tight with 4; particularly as your youngest grows. It has a permanent residential queen bed (east-west) and two benches below that can be converted into an...

    Arkto G12 Review and Discussion

    Yes to both...we have the RedArc and the mudflaps now come on the latest iteration of the trailers. Happy to get you some pics if you want more than what the video EPO posted shows! I'll get some pics of the mudflaps when I get home this evening. They did a fantastic job keeping the rear...

    Texas to Alaska to Texas. 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid driving on the Dalton Highway and the Dempster Highway. July/August 2023.

    WOW! That's crazy. We passed this vehicle shortly after crossing into Canada from MT at the Carway crossing on May 29! Small world.

    Transfer Flow developing larger GASOLINE tank (factory-replacement) for RAM 2500/3500 CC Short Bed

    I'll, readily, plead ignorance as I haven't spent much time examining the gas tank. Do you know if what they're looking for pics of is all visible with just dropping the skid (I have a 2500 w/ Power Wagon package), or do you need to drop the entire tank?
