    Mounting ARB awning to Yakima bars

    Rubicon, What a novel idea to call the manufacturer! :) More times than not, folks like us on enthusiast message boards have more experience and better ideas then whomever answers the tech-support hotline. That being said, I just got off the phone with them, and they suggested simple...

    Mounting ARB awning to Yakima bars

    In typical fashion I waits until the last minute and bought an ARB awning off amazon. It arrives tomorrow and we leave Wednesday for a trip to Vermont. I tried a search but couldn't find anything...any ideas how easy it'll be to mount the awning to my Yakima cross bars? Any special parts...

    They look really nice! Are you happy with the height? If I make something it'll likely be ~2" shorter than yours. The dog rides in the back, and he likes to stand up and look out the back window!

    If we don't match the description of the thread title, then noone does! Been raiding the kitchen on our first few trips for cooking gear and now looking at getting a specific camping set. Anyone have any thoughts on this one...

    Landcruiser (100 series) as a tow vehicle?

    Thanks for the info thus far. We are still debating, not in a huge hurry so want to make sure we make the right decision. Would love to hear more from others who might have actually used their 100 to tow. What do you tow? How much does it weigh? Terrain? Mods to the 100 to help it tow...

    I'd put that money for the backup camera into the bumper. Get a big solid bumper back there and it doesn't matter what she hits!

    Landcruiser (100 series) as a tow vehicle?

    RED - that is a heavy LR! And a lot of weight to be pulling around. The Bronco weighs ~4k so your rally car+gear setup is pretty close to what I'll be towing. I think the 100 will tow it OK, but probably won't be ideal. One last question for you....how does that ARB/OME lift ride without a...

    Toyota Sequoia

    Mahalo, if you don't care about off-road prowess, then the Sequoia is probably the clear winner. It will be decently capable off road for your intended use, give you more interior space, better seating, better gas mileage and more storage than a 100. Here are a few threads on built...

    Landcruiser (100 series) as a tow vehicle?

    Redrum, what is your suspension setup in the LC? How much does that LR weigh? An AL trailer is about 1000#. A lighter weight steel trailer is #1900 or so. A thousand pounds is a lot, but it's also a ton more expensive! CReeper - I read through some of those threads on mud. It's a...

    Landcruiser (100 series) as a tow vehicle?

    Phil, good info, thank you. You quick questions: is that 5000 pounds the boat and the trailer and loaded weight? Or just the boat ? Where are you located and what is the terrain like where you are towing? I'm in central PA and will be towing down to Tennessee and Atlanta and likely a few...

    Toyota Sequoia

    I tried to post a response earlier but it is waiting for approval by mods. It had links to other sites is that not allowed? There are a few decently well built Sequoias out there but not much aftermarket support so options are limited or you have to take your chances with tundra specific items...

    Landcruiser (100 series) as a tow vehicle?

    Mahalo - note that I have a 3rd generation 4R which is smaller in size and does not have 3rd row seating. I think the 4th and 5th gen 4R are about the same size as the 100 series Landcruisers. Anyone else with experience using the 100 as a tow vehicle?

    Landcruiser (100 series) as a tow vehicle?

    Guys, Relatively new to the site and the hobby, but hoping I can get some info and opinions. With a family of four including 2 growing kids and a large dog that is essentially a 5th family member, we've outgrown our '99 4R. Trying to decide on its replacement, either a Sequoia or a LC...

    Toyota Sequoia

    Funny timing...I'm asking myself this same question right now. We have a 99 4R and our family of 4 is outgrowing it. Considering a 100 or a Sequoia. For similar price range ($10-15k) you're looking at a 00-03 100 or a 05-06 Sequoia. The Sequoia is definitely bigger. Way bigger! So for...
