    How many FJ's here?

    That's what I figured. I'm 6' tall so that's why I asked. The older 4 Runners had at least 6 feet with the rear seat taken out.

    Burn wounds in the bush?

    I have always worried about a major burn from a gas stove/lantern explosion, fcampfire or burst radiator hose (when under the vehicle). Pain relief would be number one and then field treatment and transport etc.

    2010 Toyota Tundra work truck.

    I wish they had a manual transmission and real off road package. You can hardly tell a 4x4 next to a 4x2 Tundra. Toyota Tundra has become what an American truck is so why not get a Power Wagon?

    I have no issues using a winch or taking a bypass. Being stuck in axle deep mud for hours isn't fun anymore. That mudhole looks like a mess and may never revegetate.

    dana 35 ok for overlanding?

    If you can upgrade to a Dana 44 go for it. I ran a D 35 for 145K miles with 31" tires and and ARB lockers in my YJ with no issues. I did upgrage my axle shafts when I added the lockers. The c-clip is kind of scary. Go easy on the clutch and stay with 31" tires and you should be fine with...

    My Camper/Crawler build:

    Do you sleep under that rack? Is that an Olympic rack? It looks like a lot of work for the space you get out of it. Why not just get a tent?
