Congrats on the new Tundra - sweet cabin by the way :ylsmoke:! Now.....let's start cutting :)!

Hey all - Just wanted to let you know I'm now a proud member of Expedition Portal and look forward to learning a lot over here, seems to be a vast amount of knowledge on this board and some really laid back folks. Didn't realize how many people I already knew over here! Appreciate all the...

Yeah thanks, the one's I keep finding weigh over 2,000#!!!! I can't afford that much extra weight for carrying camping gear. I thought yours looked like a 1/4-ton model, that's what I need to search for.

I've been looking for trailers locally, but the ones that I'm finding are 2-1/2-ton ammo trailers that are crazy heavy - what weight rating is that trailer you picked up?

Well for me, I already owned the Tundra and liked the fact that it had the Toyota quality (as far as engine and overall build quality), had more room than a Tacoma, but wasn't quite as wide and bulky as a domestic pickup - so basically it was the perfect platform for me if it would have came...

That is so sweet! Great.....just when I finally got my "to do" list cleared off you have to get my mind ticking again.......:)!

I just recieved an Engel MT35 I bought from Will, now I just have to fab up a mounting plate on my cage....can't wait to try it out! www.SierraExpeditions.com

It wasn't that long ago that you were thinking you would never let a complete stranger that lived several states away take a plasma cutter to the tub of your rig......I suppose I'm going to need to pack up the plasma and make a run to CO soon :p! I had the pleasure (I think that was what it was...

Beautiful rig you've built there :)! I loved the look with the topper, reminds me of the good 'ole days when I had a Leer on the back of my truck....when I could still sleep in the bed....

You may want to hit up devinsixtyseven (Sean) on here, I believe he ran one for a while on his Tundra while he was in Ohio & Colorado????

I've had the pleasure of trying out both IFS and solid axles and I won't be welding any A-arms back on anytime soon...... My four leaf springs have seen long days of interstate travel, some of the toughest trails across the US, water, rocks, mud, etc and have never let me down. Now leaf...

Homemade bumper w/ Warn 9.5XP

I just added a power outlet for my freezer, bought an outlet from radio shack and ran a dedicated 10 Ga. hot wire from the main battery back. I put a 25 amp in-line blade fuse at the battery for short protection, since the freezer plug has it's own 10 amp fuse. Had to fab up a custom bracket...

Got my new thermometer installed on Friday, worked out well. In case anybody orders one of these - there are three wires on the back, red, green, & black. The green wire was added in case anybody wanted to hook it up to the factory dash light dimmer, or the other option is to simply twist it...

uh.....my name is......slim shady.....what.....no.....wait.....I mean Jonathan and I need to be riding more often. Here my latest build, Santa Cruz Heckler -

I will most likely stick with my MSR cook stove for now, since all I mostly use it for is boiling water to dump in Backpackers Pantry food packs.......i like to travel as light and simple as possible. Although.......having a microwave on the trail would be pretty pimp for those good 'ole frozen...

Anybody have any experience with one of these yet? http://www.thewavebox.com/original.cfm...

For what it's worth, I just ordered an Informer BL ($49.95) from the website below - I will update this post once it arrives and I get it installed..... http://www.glacierchain.com/temp120.html

Budbuilt? Bud is a great dude to work with by the way.......

Come on with it man - you have under 2 months to get that dude finished so you can wheel Moab with us :ylsmoke:! Oh yeah, 37's & 4.88's are a perfect match for our rigs by the way - think I'm turning about 2,100 RPM @ 70 MPH.
