Pongo was changed up again this weekend. This time from the black TRD Pro wheels to.... http://www.varrstoen.com VTX Off Road wheels in their bronze Terra's. I'm really loving the change. Wheels can do so much for a vehicle, and these definitely stepped up the attitude of Pongo. And a shot...

5% isn't a huge amount. You could stay the same size and switch brands of tires and make up that difference.

Thanks sir! The solar panel is still mounted, just blends in really well. I have them aimed outward, so they overlap the edges of the high beam light pattern. I've used them pointed more forward, and the glare was pretty minimal. I could see them being used more as a forward and less of a ditch...

I reinstalled my UHF/VHF Comet SSB5 antenna on the tabs I asked CBI to install on the bumper while they were building it. The KC 20" Flex bar is very bright. The fill, and throw from the bar is impressive. I have both the signles that are mounted on the ditch light brackets, and the 20" bar...

I would check the travel requirements for your particular setup. It sounds like you may not have enough down travel. If the shock is too short, when the tire droops, the shock could internally be stopping the suspension. Besides causing shortened life expectancy, you would likely experience...

Thanks. I am very satisfied with the package I purchased.I had originally planned on an SR5 and adding Front/Rear Air Lockers, but there wasn't significant discount between the trims to justify the added cost. In order to get the radio I wanted, and flares on an SR5, it was going to cost me the...

What coils are you running? What kind of weight do you have on it?

It's Old Man Emu basic Nitro Charger Sport Suspension. Total height probably closer to 3" than 2". Cool. You'll be pleased with their product. I got a chance to install my 20" KC HiLites Flex LED light bar in the CBI bumper This light bar is very well made. Super impressed with the build...

Cool post. Thanks for sharing.

I've gotten a lot of PM's on ham radio. We are big proponents of ham radio, especially in the off road community. We have started a multi-part blog series to cover much of the questions associated with newcomers to the hobby. Each article will increase in technicality. Please subscribe to our...

Thanks sir. I went with an 80D. I used to have a decent amount of Canon gear. Then, one day my wife asked to borrow my truck to take a load of stuff to Goodwill. I had just shot a wedding the previous day, and had my camera, and cards inside my house while editing, but flashes, lens...

I recently swapped back to an DSLR Canon camera from the Sony A6000 mirrorless I have been using for the last couple years. I decided to take Pongo out for some night shots to test out the new equipment. A couple days later, Pongo's look was changed up. A T3 bumper with hood and grill...

Cool rig. I'm digging the flat bed.

Very cool! We've seen you driving around the area a couple times. Nice looking setups.

Pongo clicked a little milestone a few days back. 7 Months have flown by for sure. It's hard to believe the truck hasn't celebrated its 1st birthday yet, and has taken us to 15 states. :beer: Heres to another 15 states in 2017' In central North Carolina last weekend we were treated with an...

About time you two made it over here.

He finally stopped lurking around here, and started posting: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/167272-Nanuk-The-build-and-adventure-of-my-2016-4Runner-Trail-edition

I decided to go ahead, and trim back the exhaust on my timeline, instead of being forced to fix it on the trail. Even though it wasn't intentional, this created a dramatic drop in the cabin noise from the exhaust. It's really similar to factory volume, but a much better tone. I added AVS vent...

The softopper itself is watertight. When I first put it on, I had water enter on both front corners where the bed sides meet the center. There is a small gap at their intersection, that I needed to fill with sealant(silicone, or in my case I used Toyota FIPG). After that, I felt comfortable...

Pongo, has been getting some attention lately. The bed rack, rock sliders, and rear bumper have been changed out for CBI Off Road Fab products http://www.cbioffroadfab.com. I'm loving the rear bumper w/swingout. I initially wasn't sure which way I wanted to go, but now have their setup...
