    2022 TRD PRO 4RUNNER - PDX - $49634

    It's time for a change. Getting too old to climb up onto the roof, and the kids are off in college, so truck camping here we come. Last of the best evolved 4Runner Generation. Turn-Key adventure rig for your family! Blank canvas for your mods. No road-salt, no winter driving, no mud. Gently...

    WTB TC or similar slide in camper for F350

    Have you looked at https://www.cptpanels.com/products/composite-truck-camper? Bit of a drive to Kelowna and you'd have to build it out. That's my plan.

    Post Pics of Your Hard Side Camper!

    Just finished finding and reading your build thread NOPEC - I only hope my build comes out half as good as yours!

    Post Pics of Your Hard Side Camper!

    Working on some renders - going to get one of these and build it out. They come empty from the LCC - kind of cool to have a blank canvas.

    Rust Treatment For Inside of Rack Tubing

    Thanks for the drive down the rabbit hole! Did a bunch of searches, sacrificial anodes, galvanic source hypothesis, ended up right back at ExPo: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/powder-coated-steel-roof-rack-rust.205761/post-2634788 I trust the guy that trys to stop snowplows from...

    Looking for some confirmation - Suzuki DRZ-400?

    Shigeta nailed it. I had a DRZ 400SM, moved up to a Ducati Hypermotard, but then got a CRF 250L to compliment it. Give one a ride if you can find one. It's got a lot of evolution over the Suzuki, lighter and feels just as quick. If you don't like it, or think you are ready for something...

    Is This Even a Thing? New to Overlanding

    4Runner. I've done lifts on a 4th gen and a 5th gen so that 32" tires fit properly. You can do it. Chris on Venture4wd has the advantage of staying inside in bad weather. 4runner with interior sleeping option would do that. RTT in the wind, rain, snow can make for a long trip. Get an insulated...

    ****** is "West Kootenays? "

    You get to spell it a few ways if you want to be fancy... The Kutenai (/ˈkuːtəneɪ, -i/), also known as the Ktunaxa (/tʌnˈɑːhɑː/ tun-AH-hah;[4] Kutenai: [ktunʌ́χɑ̝]), Ksanka (k-SAHN-kah), Kootenay (in Canada) and Kootenai (in the United States), are an indigenous people of Canada and the United...

    E-bikes?

    I added a Luna Cycle BBSHD kit to my old hard-tail Rocky Mountain MTB. It's a great commuter, you can build a 1500Watt, 52V monster for a decent price, and I am very happy but don't know if I would recommend it unless you are looking for another hobby. Broken spokes, wheels, derailuers, front...

    Waxy contaminant in propane line

    Learned the hard way about not having a filter on the Mr. Buddy, and my inability to reassemble things I take apart to "fix" :) I now run one of these filters as well. $10 might be cheap insurance for you. Mr. Heater Filter

    -1973 K5 - Project Canyonero

    "I also painted the brake booster and got rid of all the rust." It's amazing how rewarding a can on spray paint can be in an engine bay! My family had a '73 GMC Jimmy when I was a kid. Blue and white. Memories of riding around in it with the top off are definitely why I have made my way...

    Roof top tent for a family of four which one?

    One more vote for the CVT Rainier, but I am not going to lie, there are nights when I wish we had a Denali. Dad has been known to catch a couple Z's in the 4Runner around 3am. We bought ours in 2014, kids are now 11 & 13. We are also short people (5'8"), and fit up there with 5 if you...

    Fires, Tires, 'n Bears Eh? Ooh YeyyaahhH!!- Trip Report

    I read your report on the iPad, and then just looked at it again on a full size screen - your pictures are amazing! Well done. I was born in Fernie and grew up in Sparwood so I am really looking forward to your Crowsnest Pass / Alberta trip report. Living in Oregon now, but am planning a trip...
