SATURDAY

 

Me too!
The going back to the Dunes part...no idea what kinda mileage I get ...I should probably take notice.

 

anyone need a cap for the winter cant go wrong for $400

 

I got 19.7L/100km crawling through Rocks & Valleys ORV park,

<< and 15.0L/100km in Silver Lake doing this. The large cultist flag didn't hurt fuel economy too much

 

Actually in the dunes I got 55.8 lol

 

Hmmmm.... so now that we have a guide to 37s....

 

285 75 17

 

Don't even think of 37's. It's too late, all the cool kids are on 40's now.

 

Haha people seem to think I’m some kind of law enforcement, always super easy and quick through the Canadian border!

 

Beautiful day to climb a mountain

 

its the best price ive seen since before covid. the best jack for overlanding cause thats what we do. lol
seriously though ive seen it in action a bunch of times and always wanted one.

I know what I'm doing! I've seen it on TacomaWorld!

 

The doesn't have any features that tie it to the main frame rails. I ordered the C4 Fab frame brackets and got them after 3 weeks: https://overlandoutfitters.ca/produ...-support-brackets-2016?variant=44119200432351

The All-Pro bumper structure is closer to the frame studs, so I had to trim about 3/16" from the C4 bracket flange to clear the bumper welds:



The brackets test-fitted well after modification. I don't have front shock remote resis, one fewer complication:



Rattlecanned with Tremclad primer and semi-gloss paint:



Installed with longer 1/2"-13x4" stainless bolts and nyloc nuts:

 

I can tell you the fact you're here, you have already got the bug lol. Trails around camp will be fairly easy, a stock truck will handle things no problem. Everyone there will guide you on what you should and shouldn't do but that will depend on your tolerance for damage. Do you have any skid plates?

They don't last as long I found

 

Had this dudes come and check my 37s, they were very much pleased and stoned.

 

At this point I’m just allowing myself to consider things that are dual purpose - stronger aftermarket bumpers and better lighting are highly useful in daily driving activities. Once I get wanting the real overlandy shid then I’ll know I’m in trouble lol. So no, no skid plates yet, just the clunky stock one

 

did you post a pic of your truck? So when you pull up to the camping area someone can be like "hey Jagernats" and you'll be like who's that werido...lol
but seriously lets see the beast..

never mind its in your profile pic... I see it

 

Pft no take backs on picture requests!
Keep in mind I just bought it so I haven’t had the chance to do anything good to it yet. The brakes were all messed up in every way, it needs a new Tbelt and water pump, my steering rack was toast and it has a torn CV boot, so some bigger maintenance stuff which I’m trying to get sorted so I can join in on the weekend. Fingers crossed
The lift was installed by the guy before the guy I bought it from - and the guy I bought it from was not mechanically inclined (usually a red flag but the truck is in really nice shape and runs great). So Im trying to figure out what alls been done to it - it’s got bilsteins but I don’t know what they are or what else is going on, clearly lifted and has spacers. Just learning as I go. I’ve got an older awd bmw 3 series so I’m used to that platform and this is new to me. If anyone knows what wheels these are also - are they a Toyota oem wheel off of something? I don’t really like them that much and kind of want to find a set of steelies. Sorry for rambling
