I was thinking of getting a 270 deg awning but am having a bit of concern with the information contained in this discussion of this brand. I sent an email to ARB about how to mount it to a Front Runner RR and did they have any experience with that mounting and received an answer that they had...

I run 265/65/18 114S Standard Load rated Duratracs on Terra Firma steel rims. Not a concern about road noise as when the windows are closed I don't hear them and if the windows are open the wind noise is more predominate than any tire noise that might be there. I also have a set of them...

I bought some of their tent stakes, they seem to be sturdy enough. Guess I'll find on next trip.

My camp table has adjustable legs for uneven terrain. Really don't like the eggs running to one side of the pan.

Maybe to keep them from 'banging around' it might be advisable to secure them in a bag of some sort. Since it appears you are going for service for two it may be easier to reduce the sizes of items to get a nesting set and use shock cords to secure them. I have not seen nesting units that are as...

I carry two water bricks, one on each side behind the front seats, 3.5 gal each and although they do have a bit of air in them and do slosh I really don't hear it what with all the other sounds in/around the vehicle while traveling. At least not on highway, sometimes on very rough roads but at...

Victory_Overland Great to see that the idea is well received, lots of thought went into it. Several people have asked and if you have any specific questions, just ask. Another inquiry from CA was just answered but I think if there is a possibility of corrosion being close to the coast I would...

I used a 3/16 steel plate for the support of the cans. Originally created cardboard mock ups of the cans to see if they would fit and then a cardboard mock up of the plate. All attachments of the metal were made using the original holes in the frame of the LR, no additional holes were drilled...

*******808, If you can PM me your email I can send you some pics and a bit of explanation. It is not very complicated. Involves removing the plastic heat guard, a piece of 3/16 plate, two Unistrut hinges and some 2x2 lumber to hold the cans in place so they don't get loose. Oh yeah, some bolts...

Spent three weeks there in April. No photos of Paris are complete without the tower and Notre Dame. Thanks.

I did not remove the 2nd row but did lower them to storage position and remove the middle seat to install my ARB fridge. I made storage boxes and installed a Front Runner drawer system after removing the 3rd row seats and together they blend to create a sleeping platform. The boxes are topped...

I did discover that the larger ratchet strap buckle vibrates in the wind so I have stopped using them, although they do secure the boxes well.

I use this (https://www.autohaulersupply.com/catalog/rubber-rope-and-bungee-cords/38-x150-solid-core-rubber-rope-4742.php) to hold down the OZ tent, it takes a specific crimper to clamp on the metal crimp but they work well for my needs. I also did use ratchet straps to hold other things. This...

If you go to the FR site you will see additional pics of this tank. There are two outlets, one each side (not visible in this shot) to attach a hose (sold separately) to drain the water for use. I cannot use it as it will not allow the rear seats in my LR to lower when it is in the vehicle...

Camping in a parking lot? To be sure the RTT is a distinct advantage over sleeping on the ground in a parking lot. I have always wondered 'Now who would do that?' Question answered, thanks.

I get almost all my stuff from this company. https://www.strapworks.com/default.asp

I keep the controller inside until I deploy it, then it mounts near the battery while I am camped. Not meant to be exposed to weather or moisture laden environment. I use quick connectors to make the union of controller to battery and panel. Close to the battery allows it to monitor temps of the...

Does your tailgate mounted table have ability to compensate for uneven ground?
