    New Roof Rack for Tacomas and FJCs

    While you can add more crossbars for more stable load carrying, it will still have a wide gap between the beams, it wont compare to a platform. It will also add a bunch of weight, which defeats the purpose of the design. This off course depends on the material its made out of, the ones ive seen...

    Maglite Mount 1st Gen Tacoma

    while I hope we never get to use the Maglite in "self defense", it might work, although I agree its sketchy at best and if something starts on the wrong foot then its hard to end in the right foot anyway... However, how about impact against something else? perhaps hammering, breaking glass, or...

    New Roof Rack for Tacomas and FJCs

    There are a few venezuelan manufacturers doing a very similar design. That sort of roof rack has been trending among 4x4 owners that dont carry anything other than a RTT, and there's always the people who buy it just for looks, as they have a better appearance than regular roof racks. The one...

    Maglite Mount 1st Gen Tacoma

    The newer generation LED maglites are great IMHO. they throw out a good amount of light and, as said, could be used a a freaking hammer when needed. I have a 3D mounted in front of my passenger's seat. In front of my driver's seat there's a mount for a Surefire P2X or G2X (smaller Quikfist). In...

    Front Runner Slimline II Roof Rack - Choice & Installation / 80-Series Land Cruiser

    Thats an awesome rack!! Is it all aluminum??? I know a lot of people lust over INTI racks for their rugged construction, durability and capability. Being Venezuelan I can guarantee you there is no better rack than theirs at least in our market. The all aluminum construction is a huge advantage...

    mods you wouldnt do again ...

    Thanks for the reply! i had seem something like that but I thought it was on the intake tube (people talked about the resonator box). It really intrigued me as I kept seeing them on 4runners.. About the CB range, I had a Midland 1/4 wave stainless whip antenna, which was almost 9 feet i...

    mods you wouldnt do again ...

    I personally heard truckers rolling on the I-85 on North Carolina (they specified Charlotte) while on a trip on southern Venezuela some 8500 miles away... That's called radio skip, some atmospheric conditions allow such a phenomenon. But it is that, a phenomenon. I never got more than 5 miles...

    mods you wouldnt do again ...

    This thread is awesome, I wish every forum had one!! I read through it entirely, funny how people coincide on most of them, I disagree with a couple but hey, whatever works for someone wont necessarily work for the other.. As far as regrets during mods, I think the only mod I might regret is...

    Into The Wild FJ Build

    My friend, I've been wanting to change my Halogen spotlights to LED dedicated spotlights. I have Rigid duallys and they dont have the reach that the halogen spotlights have, they're simply not comparable. However, I've been looking at Baja Designs, they claim their Squadron XL lights have...

    Land Cruiser Prado 90 series SWB 2.8L - Should I go for it?

    While the Prado is a light duty cruiser, it is no less reliable, capable or tough. The Prado doesn't share components with the Hilux, the 4runner does. And actually its the other way around, as the 4runner is the softer version of the Prado, which many of you in the states use succesfully as an...

    Land Cruiser Prado 90 series SWB 2.8L - Should I go for it?

    I have one, excelent vehicle. Can't speak for the Diesel, as we never had diesels, but if its Toyota and has been properly maintained it should last well over 250000km. Toyotas usually go down the highway at high rpm, my rzj90 does around 2750rpm @100km/h. I've seen gas 90 series go above...

    2M Antenna Recommendations?

    I have a Larsen 5/8 that has had its fair share of limbs, parking lot ceilings and everything in between. After all the abuse you can barely see any wear on it. Still works great.

    Rigid LED light causing radio interference??

    Hmm that might be a difference, the harness for the Rigids does not have a relay. And i've been meaning to install one to allow me to turn them on with my high beams.. Ill try that and report back. Thanks for the input!!

    Rigid LED light causing radio interference??

    Really?? How did you install it?? My SQL threshold is usually at around 1/4 of the way in, when I turn on the Rigids I need to adjust it to approximately half way. What would you call a grounding problem on the vehicle??? Out of curiosity, on what vehicle are you running your light bar and...

    Rigid LED light causing radio interference??

    Wow, I didn't expect this much feedback!! As DaveinDenver said, in Venezuela there is nothing I can do, these sort of things are way too specific for anyone to research and ultimately there's no one to file a complain to, because the manufacturer is foreign. How do you know Venezuelan...

    Rigid LED light causing radio interference??

    Hey guys, I recently installed my HAM radio setup and noticed that when I turn on either of the Rigid LED lights (forward facing dually's or a rear faced dually) I get interference on the radio, I have to turn up the SQL to avoid listening to the noise.. I had a friend complain about a year...
