ebay can be a good source for used Pelican or similar cases. I've looked into Hardigg cases in the past, even more bomb-proof than Pelican and dont have the name recognition so can sometimes find surplus or used ones at a good deal. I settled on a much cheaper used Yakima roof box that I use...

Great to read about your experiences traveling and charging so far. I grew up in the PNW and try to make it back there as much as I can. Have you used any campsite charging? I've been curious about this as an option, although my preference isn't to camp with a bunch of big RV's generally. I've...

Seems like these guys missed a good opportunity for EV charging on the playa https://www.theverge.com/23945289/rebelle-rally-ev-green-energy-hydrogen-motorsports

I came across what seemed like a pretty detailed youtube video covering the install into a FJ cruiser, I'd imagine much of the electrical work would be applicable? Been researching a seat upgrade for my 2010 GX460 - I find the stock seats really uncomfortable.

To be clear - my experience using the ID4 for a year has convinced me I don't need the 2nd car to be gas either. Our longer trips tend to be either up the coast (Ventura to Monterey - 274 miles - would stop to charge once, probably in SLO at the airport where we like to get lunch anyways) or up...

I'm chiming in just to offer my experiences as someone who replaced a Subaru Outback with a EV (VW ID.4) recently. For OUR USE the change has been awesome and we have no regrets or complaints. Neither of us has long commutes - my wife does about 30 miles a day and I drive 20-30 miles a day. We...

Curious why this is in the EV section?

I guess they're on the more soft-road than off-road end of things, but I've been looking at the A-Liner Expedition and Taxa Mantis as options for my family of 4. The Taxa has a really neat bench seat that converts to a bunk for kids that I wish more mfg's would copy.

I've looked at larger options than my GX460 - the third row is an either/or option for people OR cargo, not both. I REALLY think Toyota missed the mark with the raised floor situation in the 3rd row of the new Sequoia. Our dog travels in a crate, and I don't think there's enough height with the...

Well ... do you want a truck? Or a SUV? You're in the Toyota forum ... pretty easy to recommend a 3-5 year old Tacoma/4runner in that price range. In my opinion the Tacoma double cab rear seat is pretty tight for a rear facing car seat. The kids will be in those for 2-3 years, then they get...

I've owned a Four Wheel Camper (Hawk) and have been in numerous wedge and pop up campers. My impression was always that you lose a LOT of 'living' space with any of the campers that have a taper that matches the truck cab width. The straight sides make the Hawk look less 'sleek' but its have let...

Makes me glad I sprung for the Lifetime membership back when that was an option

As of March both Ford and Rivian are able to use nearly any Tesla Supercharger with an adapter. Sort of a game changer for me when considering an EV to replace my GX460 (I will likely buy a R1S in another year or two when used values come down a bit more). I don't do HUGE road trips often...

Probably helps bring their trade in offer closer to the blue book value, I could see it being an incentive to trade in a vehicle rather than sell it private party if someone was already looking to buy one. The very specific set of vehicles they call out is sort of weird ...

Actually most of the 'shell with a tent' type camper I've seen mount to the truck bed pretty much like a fiberglass cap, either with a big c-clamp or a bracket that picks up on the factory tie down rails. They shouldn't be any harder to remove than a fiberglass shell (which is still a pain in...

From Toyota's instagram account (nothing on the toyota pressroom yet)

I've seen GX550 payload ratings of 1,545lb on Overtrail (18” wheels) LC250 1958 Edition Payload: 1687 lbs (GVWR 6725 lbs - Curb Weight 5038 lbs)

A bunch of details dropped today: https://pressroom.toyota.com/the-evolution-of-a-legend-the-all-new-2024-land-cruiser/ 1958 edition starting MSRP $55,950 Pricing (copied from ih8mud https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/land-cruiser-pricing-announced.1332807/) 23 mpg combined (22 city / 25 hwy /...

IF you care, the 3.0 diesel is a lot worse than a 5.3 or 6.2 gas V8 in terms of emissions. I'm honestly not sure compared to a HD gas V8, since they don't need to meet the same emissions regs as a 1/2 ton gas, I wouldn't be surprised if they're even dirtier than the 1/2 ton diesel.

They make non insulated versions also, I have the older 6 sided one without the floor, thought they make ones now with a floor that would be better as a tent. https://quicksetshelters.com/camping I really like that the side panels can all be removed to make a giant screen room, or the panels...
