    I have been looking at Copart for a wrecked Landcruiser or 4Runner for a few weeks for a longterm project! You have pushed me to look harder!!!

    It’s definitely worth it! Just be careful if it is wrecked because of frame damage or any other damage. Stay away from water damage or fire, stick to something that is easily fixed like hail or just replacing body panels.

    Yelp!! I know about flood damaged vehicles since I live near the coast.
    Water destroys many good Toyotas!

    Finally ordered my Prinsu! I plan on mounting Maxtrax up top with a Plano case and maybe a rotopax or two, as well as putting a 42” Caliraised light bar up top!

    I do like the looks if the Rotoplax cans, but they are not that reliable. That 1/4 turn lock is not very durable.

    The Nato Jerry cans are the real deal. You will need a different way to lock them down, tho.

    I'm not sure I spelled Nato correct. Posting from the drive thru.

    If I mounted it to my rack it’d 100% be for expo points:rofl: I honestly can’t justify the prices of them compared to a NATO can that I can easily mount in the bed

    Then go nuts! As long as you know the RotoPlax units are not the best out there, then it's all good.

    I'm ok with the " mall crawling" scene.

    I feel special. I got to "like" a Chad's pride post. Pretty rare.
