    I was changing my engine air filter today and noticed a fair bit of dust on the engine side of air box just below the filter. After replacing the filter and trying to close the air box I realized why...The mounts on the engine side of the box just don't close properly. The middle tab doesn't...

    I'm very pleased with how my mounting project worked out on the U.S. rack. I used Hi-Lift Jeep hood mounts for the jack and they worked out great. For the awning I used the supplied L brackets and quick fist clamps for the axe and shovel. The overall weight with the RTT is around 250lb, which is...

    I do know that my design is there newest version as far as the swing mechanism goes. They switched to a new 3 stage swing out and a more durable swing bolt. I can send a pic of it if you would like.

    I want to switch my winch cable to synthetic line, which I thought was going to be easy enough. Thought about going with a hawse fairlead and ProLink. After inspecting my ARB bumper I realized that my fairlead mounts are too recessed for a hawse to work without dragging the line on the bumper at...

    3rd gen Tacoma research...

    A quad cab pickup is an extremely practical platform for overlanding. The Achilles heal of a jeep is space, other than that they are incredible at what they do, and now they are reliable to boot. The fact of the matter though is, once you own a truck you can't go back.

    I had a 5 gallon heftyfabworks fuel/water carrier laying around after moving up to a 10 gallon on the rear swing-out. I decided to mount it in the bed. I didn't want to drill, and noticed that the canopy clamp might just fit around the top opening on the carrier. Ended up working well, and is...

    No question it's a great truck. I always been a car guy and appreciate a variety manufactures, but grew up going off-road in Jeeps and Toyota's. My Dad had one good jeep, a 1984 Jeep Cherokee with the hurricane 2.5L 4 banger, and a couple of 87' Jeep Wranglers with the 4.2L, that were not as...

    18.5mpg under ideal conditions. With the RTT around 16mpg. Bone stock I would average 19 on the highway.

    The only real reason was having a Tepui RTT. They are all very similar apparently.

    Mounted a Tepui awning today. A very practical addition to compliment the RTT.

    Custom Rear bumper, which is better one swing or two swings to carry tire and fuel

    Dual Swing and wrap around bumper. A big advantage of a dual swing is weight distribution.

    Super Shovel by Krazy Beaver

    Well guys, ridiculous or not, he can't make them fast enough. Yes, I own one, and I even paid more for a limited edition color. Ha! I'm not sure what kind of tires you guys are running, but there is no damn way that is going through my side wall. The shovel is awesome, or I'm just a sucker for a...

    New mounting location for my Hi-Lift. There was too much weight on the rear swing with fuel and jack. This distributes the weight much better. I love the utility of this rack.
