Thanks, good to know. I'll take one in and see what I can find at the hardware store this week. I'll take it slow but I do like the dirt roads for sure! s

Hey Jonathan, I like the idea of easy access but decided to go the NF campgrounds for the shade and less stimulus for the dogs. Is there anywhere close to the gournds where I can park in shade though or is it all pretty open? I'm working out the logistics of coming with three dogs! Sigh...but I...

A new summer hat for my 95 4Runner~ Okay, so it's a roof top tent, but it's kind of clunky and old when folded like an old summer hat of mine, but looks great open and on the side of a lake!

Today was the first full day with the Adventure strapped to the 4Runner. I was a bit nervous about, well, everything, but the truck handled the same, maybe even better on the dirt roads across to Cochiti Reservoir (NM). It shook the bolts loose so I need locktite or something - anything you...

Hey Chaps, Just bought myself an old Maggiolina Adventure with the basket up front for extra stuff. I'll probably take that off tomorrow. It was a right pain to get racks and cross bars to fit my 95 4Runner but we made it. It's interesting to see that you mentioned two is enough but three...

Thanks everyone~ I'm on my way this afternoon as I had to set up racks to fit the thing! Yippee! And yes, why not have a SF Expo gathering before we head out??

Yep, i ended up reserving a spot in the Dairy Springs NF campsite only a few miles away. I think I'm arriving the day before the campground opens so we'll be doing hte dispersed camping in the 4Runner. I'll have some beer and burgers if you find us!

Shorty for you!

This s great to know. Bit by bit, right? Also someone said the tires might be part of the problem, tall and narrow and who knows when last balanced (oh, and old too!). I think I'll check out getting other tires in the summer on credit. Narrow tires are more likely to get caught in the grooves on...

Yep, like I'd said, it's a 95, so a 2nd gen, static load of 100#s unfortunately! Its not designed for more so i'm hoping the combination of yakima racks at the doors and factory at the rear will work together. I'll post photos over the weekend of what I come up with, thanks for the info though, s

100#s but got to know about the rails, thanks!

Thanks Patio, great pictures. From the research I did, it said the factory tracks are limited to only 100#s, had you heard that? Perhaps I can do a mix of the two yakima bars attached to the body above the doors and also make a third one at the back using the installed track? Hmm, I'll let you...

You nailed it Kyle! And I'm picking up the tent this weekend - yippee...

Can I jump on this thread too? I have a 95 4Runner and the factory track and cross bars are rated for only 100#s. The roof top tent i'm getting is 135#s. I went to REI locally to see what they could come up with. It's tricky, even using Thule or Yakima crossbars and 'towers' attaching to the...

Good to know!

Beautiful. And local. Damn, if only...

How many people show up at Expo usually?

Checked and looking fine, no play or rust. The only thing we found after going over it in detail is the leaf spring bushings are all rotted out. From what I hear, it's something I can do at home with the rover on stands to take the weight off. I'll order the bushings and probably new bolts etc...

What are they? No idea but let me know what to check okay? thanks!

Me! I'm here in Madrid and work in SF. Could I come see it? thanks, s
