    Okay let's see everyones camp/ 4wd kitchens!!

    Here's our meager little set up, put into action yesterday at a bike race. My wife whipped up quite the post race breakfast! Incidentally, this is our first time with the new Coleman dual fuel stove. Using the Coleman brand white fuel, the burners seemed to get plenty hot but took forever to...

    Opinions On Best Generation, Dead Stock 4Runner

    Martin, That is interesting info, and something I've never heard of. This is our second 3rd gen, but both of them have been 99s. My interest in the 3rd gens is primarily '00 and older because of the e-locker. I was recommending the 01-02 based solely on the assumption that a more advanced...

    WhiteKnight Build (ttora4runners rebuild)

    Nice build so far. Love the bumper choices. Hope you get the tire carrier sorted out. Will it be at all easy to remove and reinstall the rear carrier? Reason I ask is that our 4R is also the wife's DD, I'd like a rear bumper but the swing out carrier won't work for the 355 days of the...

    Hey CLK, Don't I know you from somewhere else? ;) This is my wife's daily driver and our family camping overlanding green trail trail riding Target shopping cart bouncing off of command ship. Stock except for 1" taller tires. Rides nice, awesome off-road, decent gas mileage and plenty...

    3rd gen 4runner tire size/suspension question

    There's a bit of misinformation above. 265/75 is an inch taller than a 265/70 tire. I have a 99 with the tall coils highest stock suspension. Really love this setup. The rear sags will all our gear but not too badly. We're leaving for a family trip tomorrow so I might take some actual...

    Mounting ARB awning to Yakima bars

    Thanks for the tip on the conduit brackets. I got 2 per cross bar and a 3" L-bracket that mounts to the 2 conduit hangers and then 2 bolts into the awning. It passed the driveway test and a 40 mile highway and town trip this evening. Seems pretty secure but would love a 3rd mount point in...
