    5th Gen 4Runner drawer build thread

    Soon... I got my ARB Fridge and fit the drop slide to the box today, then started staining it. I'm using water based General stains and varnish which dry crazy fast so I hope to have it in the vehicle by tomorrow night.

    Semi, did you get your trailer yet? We are a few months out from making the call and I'd love to see your set up. Also, has anyone asked to see if they could do an interior mounted window style AC, similar to the way MOBY does it? I really like this as it's 1. affordable, 2. easily...

    Hiker Trailer 5x9 Off-Road Build

    My wife and I are searching for the perfect trailer for us. We love the SOCAL teardrops, but this will be our first trailer and we aren't 100% sure a teardrop is for us due to our future plans for more another kid. I think this trailer offers a lot for the price range. The only thing I don't...

    Lead Dog Motorsports /Hiker Trailer is here for Support.

    Is there anyway to get a 5x8 or 5x10 model set up with a spot for a slide out ARB50 in the galley?

    T@G Outback teardrop Trailers

    I really wish they would have used a separate stove/sink combo, those are really close together. Not only are the stove and sink close, but the burners appear to be close as well.

    Goal Zero ~ Yetti 400 vs ARB 50qt fridge

    It's not just the weight, but as I understand it, it is also more usable amp hours since the battery can be drained much deeper. It's only a 35ah battery to start with so if the AGM can be drained to 50% then you have 17.5ah usable battery, but the lithium can be drained to 80% giving you 28ah...

    Goal Zero ~ Yetti 400 vs ARB 50qt fridge

    Anyone got their hands on the new Lithium Yeti? It's pricy but considering I don't have to worry about running it down to 10-20% 1000x I feel it may be a better investment, being smaller and lighter also plays into it. I'm considering picking one up, hooking it to a 100w roof mounted solar panel...

    ARB 50Q Lid in hatch style vehicles

    Drop slides are not for everyone, but it's certainly not nonsense. Ordering from half way around the planet was as easy as ordering on Amazon, it arrived in a week and took advantage of the strong dollar vs. Aus. Plus unlike your jeep hood toggles it's a crash tested solution and my wife can...

    Why are you forgoing the tire carrier? Are you not carrying a spare, seems like no better place to mount it. Congrats on getting it added to your build!

    Sure, here are a couple photos I've snagged off the net. Here the water heater is mounted to the tire carrier: Here the water heater is mounted to the trailer: I like the idea of maximizing counter/sink space, however, I'd imagine adjusting the water temp and starting/stopping the water...

    4Runner cargo drawer and pull out kitchen build

    Damn, sorry to hear about bumper! I actually ended up going another route. My wife decided I just need to build or buy a teardrop and I think she is right. So with that in mind I just made a simple drawer system, you can see it in this thread. I hope to finish it in the next month or so when I...

    Single battery setup vs Dual battery setup

    Back when I had my JKU I started and drove it in the garage with only a battery tender lithium jump pack. Clipped it right to the battery cables and away I went while the actual battery was sitting on the garage table charging (it was toast).

    SoCal Tear Drop Owners! Post up!

    It does, thank you very much. I'm glad it's still possible! My wife and I are planning a nice long trip next summer, so I'll need to make my move soon. I'm still researching trailers, as soon as I lock it down I'll let you guys know. I've seen some units with a larger sink/cutting board and the...

    SoCal Tear Drop Owners! Post up!

    There are so many things I like about this trailer, but one of my favorite features is the swing out tire carrier with the sink and prep surface. It really provides a TON of usable space and a full size sink right where you need it, in the kitchen. A few times in this thread someone has said...

    Extreme Tears Off-Road Teardrop Trailers

    They start under 10k for a 5x10, but obviously aren't as nice as a MOBY or SOCAL.

    5th Gen 4Runner drawer build thread

    Its an aluminum folding table off a surplus medical chest. They are very heavy duty and come in sets of 2 for <$100 from Sportsman's Guide. The tables aren't too heavy, that chest has some crazy weight to it for being aluminum! I just ground the rivets off the 6 toggles on the table, no other...

    Bed liner on plywood?

    I've never mixed the stuff, picked it up where they mixed it and went home to apply. I also don't think it's hard to apply, just get cheap rollers and realize your trashing them when your done. As for the bonding, I can't comment, I've never had it lift, chip or flake. Did you prep the surface...
