Getting going on a T100 project

truck.jpg

Hi. I'm a new member to the Expedition Portal community after having looked around a long time ago. I am getting going on a project to improve my 97 Toyota T100 v6 5spd 4x4 Xtra Cab to be a better over land expedition vehicle. She's been on many canoeing and camping trips so far in Maine, NH and VT, and will hopefully be much farther afield in the future.

Looking forward to seeing you around the forum.

Peace.....
I,ll jump on this post. I am loving my lil 4runner. I recently did a coast to coast trip from the bay area CA to RTP NC. I hit most of the national and state parks on the way,my biggest regret was due to time I missed Yellowstone, and some of the fav spots of UTAH....but next yr.

Currently my tardis/ship/ the little rhino or as I like to call her sometimes, the mobile operations command vehicle/mobops......is geared with the following for a 2week trip.

1-ram horns or scratch guard in the front
2-under carriage armor or skid plate
3-KC 100's - learned the advantage of these very quick driving down mountains at night
4-Voyager top storage also called my upper deck storage or my rhino's backpack
5-extra bonus previous owner gave her the two tone paint , so in some light shes dark hunter green, in bright light she is USAF or Tardis blue
6-added a few stickers to personalize her
7- there are many places to improve......but thought i would share

Backpack contains:

-Air Pump
-roadside emergency-oil, coolant, cables, tools, etc
-human emergency kit ( 4 people)
-small wood/charcoal grill
-20lb bag of charcoal
-10lb of wood
-mil spec 3 in 1 sleeping bag (2)
-large alice pack
-med alice pack
-hammock
-dry bag of extra clothes
-rei inflatable/blow up air matress for sleeping bags
-tow rope
150 ft of climbing rope/emergency only
100ft of parachord
2 tarps
1 quick tent (sleeps 3)
2 fleece tops
4 skull hats
2 pair leather gloves

4runner inside storage
-5 MRE's
-8 cans of food
-case of clif bars
10 gal of water
2 headlights
-extra flashlights
usual navigation stuff (maps, compass, binoculrs, etc)
bear spray - oh yeah

finally a back seat cooler for easy to reach drinks when in Death Valley
always keep iced, 4 cans of coco nut water, 5 bottles of water

and under my seat- a fire extinguisher

hope this wasnt too detailed, but i have to say, not only did i use everything always (except roadside emergency) but i had the best time of my life.
humping a pack in the mil was good for my body , but humping a pack on my own on trails in the middle of nowhere are good for my soul.


** special note , I like to use the moonroof/sunroof as a hatch, its perfect for me to take pics, as well as my night in yosemite, i was able to chill and watch bears walk around the parking lot at 2am from the safety of the rhino... :D

It's great to see another 2nd generation 'Runner! There doesn't seem to be too many on this site.
