Dude.
It’s entertaining as hell to see what your brain conjures up.
Whether it’s your over-analysis of the switch pro, a battery that would put you in debt, some crazy rims that I can’t evem describe, or wrapping a truck that’s five months in the works.
Keep it up, I’m excited to see what’s next.

 

What’s next will be a 8 month long conversation with himself about a dash cover, and what he wants stitched on it, and where.

 

whats the difference? We've had our T&N for about 2.5 years and love it.

 

Thanks man, I know I go off the reservation pretty hardcore. Part of it is having weird aspirations of some unholy Hilux Dakar Raid truck that's also hearkening back to Toyota's glory days in World Rally, while also being a tolerable daily drive. And part of it is, I don't want to just follow the standard bro-quipment checklist. I want people to look at the white 3rd gen with blue stripes and some batshit wheels and say "yep there's Nitori, have you seen his freakin build page? Guy is a total nutjob."

And for what it's worth I'm honestly stumped World Rally / WRC style wheels aren't way more popular... I mean, wheels designed to keep brakes cool but keep rocks and gravel and bullshit out... who would want that??
To be fair Method does make something similar:


The formula is pretty simple- narrow multi spokes close to the edge, thick webbing in the middle to protect the rotors.

 

out of all the great ones, this one takes the cake and deserved a repost IMHO #ifyouknowyouknow

 

You'd be amazed at all the flavors windows have.

 

He made it to Jalopnik, success!

 

We looked at the T&N and for the price it was decent. We just didn't like how firm it was. This Brooklyn three stage is money. I sleep like a baby now and my back doesn't hurt anymore.

 

Are those T&N mattress the ones that come in the mail rolled up?

I have one and it's awesome for day trips but not sure it'd store enough for an overnighter..

 

I have a hard sided 40l that we store food and the 30 pack softside for adult beverages, typically gets me through a three day weekend.

I don't think the 30 softsided would handle both food and drink but if you're just cooling food then you may be able to get by.

 

Guy lives in my hood, finally grabbed a pic.

 

For soft sided coolers AO Coolers are very good quality. I bought one back in my duning days and it still looks like new and keep cool exceptionally well.

Check Amazon for better prices.

 

I've got the 20. Perfect size for day trips and things like that. 45 for camping soon to be replaced with an ARB or Snomaster Fridge. BUT that RTIC 20 has been awesome and am very happy with it.

 

Just received my 20 soft side and think it will work great for day trips. Also got the 45L to pair with it for the longer trips. Will be testing them both out in a few weeks.

 

I have a RTIC soft 30, it’s the go to for road trips and ball games. I’ve used it for overnighters, but 2 days & 2 people is pushing it.

If they made a hard 30, I’d prob sell this and get that when it’s on sale. My brother has a hard 20 and likes it, for the reasons that @DevilDocAZ said. I bought my soft 30 to hold a little more, but it doesn’t hold ice as well, so it’s always a toss up on which would be better.


ETA: also have the old style RTIC 45 & 65, they rock. If they had the bigger ones when we got these, I prob would have gotten a 65 and a 110 or 145.
