I've got 285/75R/16 Goodyear MT/Rs on 16x8 rims with 4.25" backspacing and zero offset. I initially had my MT/Rs on stock rims, but the backspacing and tire size caused a bit of rubbing on my upper control arms.

Have you read the three part write-up in Offroad Adventures Magazine titled "Project Maya Hunter?" Project Maya Hunter: Part One Project Maya Hunter: Part Two Project Maya Hunter: Part Three

During my ongoing research of installing either a laptop or tablet PC into my 4Runner, I found this write up on the installation of a mini PC in a Jeep Wrangler. Though it appears to be a bit cost prohibitive for me at the moment, some of you might benefit from the write-up for your future...

Go with a Blue Top. You get a starting and deep cycle battery. I installed a D34M in my 4Runner. The extra post and wing nuts aid with wiring accessories too.

I've used for several years a Lowepro All Weather Photo Trekker backpack-style bag for my cameras.

Who uses them and which brands/models do you like? I'm leaning towards the Philips USA Model 7FF1M4/37 but most places are sold out. Interested in giving as a gift, so it must be very user-friendly to use. Thanks.

Check out what Paul did with his Jeep, a pretty cool install. He posts here under "PPRO" I believe. http://www.4x4icon.com/offroad/air/index.htm

On my 4Runner, we ran the wires from my 6 Hellas behind the rubber door seal from driver side rear passenger door down into the engine compartment to the relays. I'd be interested too in seeing how folks bring their wires through the roof.

Nope, that's not for a rear E-Locker. The '01 4Runners are not equipped with front or rear lockers from the factory. That switch is for the center diff. I think the switch you're referring to is in the upper right corner: "For 2001, a center differential lock switch has been provided on the...

Jeff, You can fit a 33" tire hanging at the stock location, but there's a catch. Do you have the tow bar? If so, you will have to air down the spare to make it fit. I removed my tow bar years ago and with it gone you can mount an inflated 33" tire with no problems. I've currently storing a...

Don't forget to use your aux. lights if you have them or else this could happen when you can't see ahead:

Alf is a great guy to deal with. I'm really happy with the Mi-6 Microfast tent I got from him recently. Kevin, welcome to EP.

I really like my Jet Boil and it's small enough to include in my SAR pack on extended training field exercises or on missions.

Brian, Are you car camping or hiking? If you're car camping and a bulky sleeping pad isn't an issue, pick up some foam from your local G Street Fabrics, arts & crafts supplier or sewing shop. I bought some nice 4" foam padding really cheap and it has held up for a couple of years. I'll need...

Up front on the bumper.

I had some minor condensation on the roof of my tent cot as well. I solved that problem by using some wood cloths pins to keep the flaps open. If it starts to rain, pull the pins.

I recommend avoiding GWNF in October for a trail run location for a few reasons: (1) October is when the leaves begin to change color and GWNF will be a popular destination, (2) many local Virginia and Maryland clubs will be in GWNF on the weekends, (3) non-offroaders will be in the area as...

I usually run at 15-18 psi when we're on the beach with no problems.

Dave, If you get a chance, would you mind posting some pics of your bumper mount and the different grounding methods you describe? Thanks.
