    Mounting ideas for TRED/Maxtrax/etc.

    @lsco - Here's a pretty cool idea for mounting behind the spare tire area: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYiLsGNP6V4 Much more complicated than just tucking behind a Trasharoo. How did they secure them to the tire area though? Does the trasharoo help do it? Thanks for the suggestions...

    Mounting ideas for TRED/Maxtrax/etc.

    Folks, I'm looking for all your creative ideas and experience in mounting my TRED ramps in a convenient location. I bought these a few months back but had first occasion to test them out yesterday on the trails. They work great, and we grabbed them a bunch of times throughout the day. I...

    TRED recovery ramps

    Got to use my new TREDs for the first time yesterday out at Rausch Creek off road park. Still a good bit of snow on the ground and some slippery situations. They worked great! Very impressed with how they did. Was out with a stock 2nd gen 4R, a stock '14 JKU and my 6k# LC. Was able to...

    '99 Toyota 4Runner. Runnin' down a dream.

    I don't think you're paying enough credence to the negative effects of unsprung weight. The third GEN isn't exactly snappy off the line, plus with a heavier larger size tire I certainly would see no reason to go to steel wheels. Especially considering he's already got a nice set of alloys...

    68 Ford Bronco "opinions" help Thread!

    My Bronco has the original 3 on the tree, I rebuilt it and it actually shifts pretty darn good. I was planning on a NV3550 but the 3 speed is pretty darn cool, and works fine. I've got 30s and 4.11s, so if I were doing what you're doing I'd either want to bump up a tire size or two, or swap...

    68 Ford Bronco "opinions" help Thread!

    You can find a D44 pretty easily and relatively inexpensive. That's the route I go. Tell us more about the traveling and off roading and terrain you want to tackle and we can better tell you if you need lockers. My first guess would be no! I also really don't think you'll need skid...

    The truck above looks great, although I'd inquire as to why he's selling it. He just bought it not very long ago. Here's another really nice 100-series that looks to be built well. I'm really surprised this hasn't sold, it's been on the market for awhile so perhaps the price is a bit...

    here's a quick cheat sheet: 80 = rock crawling. 100 = overlanding, exploration, going 95% of the places an 80 can, in added comfort,style and safety.

    I'll vote for the 100 series as well given your stated needs and budget. We have a 99 4R that we were using but outgrew it. 2 kids, a dog, a habit of being pretty heavy packers for our family outings,etc. Super happy with the 100. You can get a pretty nice early year 100-series in the...

    Group Buy: Trasharoo with optional Expedition Portal logo!

    I've got a green with black logo that I'd trade for black/white or tan/black.

    100 Series Family Adventure Rig

    I haven't build my drawer system yet, and don't have a fridge, but it looks like with that setup there wouldn't be a ton of extra room left for all your other gear? How much space is there b/w the fridge and the back of the 2nd row seats? What is your total depth of the draw? I think most I've...

    VOT: Double Build – JK & XJ

    Nice builds! Keep us posted on the next red cloud trip. Would love to come down and check it out. I'm a Toyota guy now, but my first 4 x 4 was a 89 two door five speed XJ. Had a lot of fun beating that thing up!

    Shotts - I've got your MUD build bookmarked and your rig is the reason I went with the ARB sahara! Very nice build.

    A No-Snorkel Reef in January- The San Rafael Reef of Utah

    Were you able to take the "shortcut" trail from rt24 west into Goblin? The trail that goes past Molly's Castle? When I was there in Oct I turned off 24 and started heading west on that trail, got to the stream crossing the one I believe shown on the map about of a the third of the way to...

    A No-Snorkel Reef in January- The San Rafael Reef of Utah

    Nice photos and awesome area! Do you have a map or track of your route? I was there in October. Scenic byway 12 to Capitol Reef Park to Goblin up through the Swell to swazey's cabin and onto 70. Fun stuff - looked a bit different in the fall than it does now!
