This is not my first build and, being I have been wheeling off and on for about 20 years, I would not consider myself "new folks". I understand you are trying to "encourage" but continually questioning my build an encouragement. I agree, most people do not NEED dual batteries. Nor do then NEED...

This is exactly right. I am not wiring any additional electronics to the chassis battery. Everything additional will pull off the Aux battery. It's another one of those arguments that can go around and around. There are pros and cons of either argument. Two of the major arguments against dual...

I like the idea of having redundancy with dual batteries and I already have them. That being said, I also have a group 31 blue top gathering dust... I may look into relocating the second battery to the passenger side with the yellow top in the factory location..

I agree, we need to see more of your tire carrier. It appears you used the bumper support in some fashion. Can you post a pic from the other side? It's a great looking rig for sure!

I'm planning to run dual optimas in the factory battery location. I already had a group 35 yellow top and group 34 blue top. I bought a heavy solenoid and dual volt meters and I already had most of the wiring needed to do the install. The yellow top will replace the factory battery with an...

Update time! Things have been moving pretty slow with the holidays and all... However, we have made some progress in the past few days! Last Wednesday I received two shipments: After much deliberation, I decided to go with Treadwright 285/70R17 Warden's. (BFG All Terrain Clone) With the...

Updates have been slow as I have been on the road the last couple of weeks. I have decided on tires but I'm going to pull a reality tv type reveal when they get installed. Mostly I wanted to post about my super score today! My wife's brother live in NC and happened to be driving by someone...

Xplorx4, What length of Stubbs sliders did you go with? I was going to build a set for the Soy, but for what Stubbs gets, and how good they look, I'd rather go that route!

Great news, everything is settled with insurance and I get to keep the truck. I had to argue to keep a drivable vehicle with only superficial damage. I had to actually argue to SAVE them money... I will never understand insurance. It is anything but logical. Moving on... I ordered my new...

I currently have rugged terrains installed on the Soy and really do not like them. That being said, I only have about 100 feet in off highway travel. They were able to get me out of the ditch after my accident! When I compare them to my KO2s on the Disco, They look much more mild. I managed to...

I'm leaning towards a little more mud tire, as much as I don't want to... I live in Minnesota and, even though I am not a "mud bogger", the vast majority of decent trails will involve crossing some pretty sizable mud pits. One option I'm also leaning towards is the Duratrac. I currently have...

fireball, how do you like the KO2s on the tree and what load range are you running? They are one of the few ATs on my shortlist of tires. I currently have a set on my '03 Disco and love them. However, I'm leaning a little more aggressive on this build. I still have a week or two before I pull...

I actually contacted him a week or two ago asking about the sequoia bumper. I also offered to help with a sequoia rear bumper design, as I know he was working on some plans but didn't like the design. I work in the manufacturing design industry, specifically on the quality side. I'm planning to...

toyotech, I have looked into the Brute Force Fab bumper. Website didn't list the Sequoia bumper so I reached out to them. I received no response. In an attempt to find a phone number, I found many forum posts about unhappy customers paying a deposit but not getting the bumper in a timely manner...

Greeting all. I have decided to subject all interested parties to my newest overlanding build. This is taking off a little quicker than anticipated but more on that later... I was in the process of building a 2003 Mitsubishi Montero that my family has owned for many years but it kept nickel and...
