    12V Fridge / Freezer - Use to freeze and rotate freezer blocks?

    Yes. This is what we do when we are on extended trips into the bush. We give our other normal cooler a fresh freezer pack from the ARB each morning. We also take out frozen food from the ARB and place it into the other cooler for it to thaw throughout the day/overnight for us to eat the next...

    Fuel tank on roof

    You can try a marine boat tank and strap it down (really well). Put it up there empty and on the fuel tank filler side. Fill it when you fill the 4Runner. When it's time to use the fuel you siphon it directly into your tank. The simple shaker siphon is the best and simplest option for this...

    XV-2 Axle Rating Advice

    Trying to hunt down a matching leaf spring in the nearest little town really sucks when you break one. I was under (or very near) the rated load weight... but going over tough trails. The static weight then becomes a dynamic weight and sometimes the full weight of the trailer ended up on one...

    Foldable panel experience?

    Lots of spelling mistakes in that link... I would stick with a brand you can trust.... Goal Zero or Renogy come to mind. https://www.renogy.com/renogy-100-watt-12-volt-monocrystalline-foldable-solar-suitcase/

    Question on trailer brakes needed

    That's messed up. There should be no reason that should happen. The more I hear about jeeps the less I like them...

    Question on trailer brakes needed

    That happens even if you use your gears appropriately?

    Question on trailer brakes needed

    I agree with the posters above.... brakes are worth it. One thing I learned offroading with a trailer with brakes... in low traction areas your trailer brakes may simply lock up. Get a controller where you can adjust the amount of braking your trailer will do. I have the controller by my...

    Gas storage option

    In winter here we have to be extra careful with the super dry air when it's really cold... so I fully agree with not re-attending the cab of your vehicle when fueling. I agree with all said about the weight up top. I didn't like it. That's all I had at the time though. I upgraded my bumper...

    Gas storage option

    I personally have never heard of anyone catching a fuel tank on fire... There are also signs at gas stations that you aren't allowed to use a cell phone while fueling too. (I have seen people light cigarettes nearby with no explosions happening) I think there's being cautious as a company (the...

    Great ground tents

    Yep, I have one of those as well and love them. They are rock solid in the wind. We've retreated into the XWT to get away from the wind before... when it's so windy you have to yell at each other outside.... and inside the XWT it's quite a bit more peaceful.... until the kids start arguing...

    Gas storage option

    Use a marine tank... the plastic boat kind. Bolt it / ratchet strap it and make it secure. Use a strap larger than you think you will ever need... if you have a fender bender the last thing you need is a projectile of 5 gallons of gas. Then use a simple shaker siphon to transfer it to your...

    Ottawa,Canada-2015 4runner Trail premium 11,500miles 26,100$

    Specifically.... what do you mean by "branded"? EDIT: Disregard.... I see you have a salvage title. Sorry I didn't read that earlier. What caused it to be totalled? The rear quarter panel should not have caused enough damage to total it.

    An Axe - Seriously?

    The axe always gets a good workout at camp. We stay out in the bush for well over a week at a time.
