    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    I've been waiting a long time (like many) to see the new Defender. Just seems so low to the ground in these spy shots....and we know there isn't much that can be done to boost that suspension. I think the new LR5 looks really slick and hear it is great on some trails, but the tinkerer in me sees...

    New Alu-cab Khaya Camper for sale in US - details with pricing now available

    Hi, my $0.02, I think a 6-foot would be a little better because the camper would fit mostly in the bed. Probably have less weight hanging behind the rear axle. But, I have a 5-foot bed and I feel confident it'll work great! I just need to remember all that extra back-end when I'm going in reverse! ?

    Recovery and Off-Road Accessories A good winch is required and I have had great luck with Warn. Inside the CBI bumper is a Warn Zeon 10-S winch. The synthetic line is lightweight and doesn’t rust and there is a Factor 55 Flatlink to finish it off and keep things tidy. After running the...

    Armor The rock sliders are from White Knuckle Off-road.The sliders are DOM bent for strength, upswept for clearance and feature diamond plating on the rear kickout for my son...who has tiny little toddler feet. I also find it really useful for accessing the roof rack. LCA’s are protected by...

    Electrical I am sure I will not be able to do justice to describe the work my shop has done here, but I will try. I am not "electrically savvy" and my requirements were for a simple system that was bulletproof and would always be able to start my vehicle. My shop put together a system using...

    Lighting, Communication, and Navigation I immediately installed a Pioneer Navigation unit when I picked up the truck. I don't have the specifics handy, but it has a lot of great features and a large screen. It also connects nicely to my iPhone with CarPlay. My iPhone XS Max is my primary music...

    Suspension, driveline, wheels and tires There are a lot of really good suspension systems out there for these trucks. When shopping for one that was reliable, comfortable and capable, the OME BP-51 system was highly-recommended. I personally love the internal bypass shock design and know...

    Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

    Thanks! I find I enjoy watching trucks drive and listening to the sounds of engines, brakes and the ground being crushed most of all. I tend to mute other videos that have music or a lot of chatter. For my next video, I may include the humans to an extent, however :LOL: My trail partner had...
