    Sweet. Can't wait to see your truck. Was a ton of inspiration for my Tacoma. Now I have to figure stuff out on my own with the T4R.

    Looks like a fun trip Nick! I might be at Overland Expo, but I think that's the weekend before my finals so well see. Definitely going to have to go wheeling together sometime though. :thumbsup:

    BTW, my long term idea was two connectable 2 gallon rotopax that connects together, one side black for oil and one side blue for antifreeze/water mix. That way I would have three 4 gallon fuel and one set of fluids, I currently only have two 2 gallon on the cap and a gang of fluids in a frontrunner case on my bed sliders. Never ending.

    Glad you guys had a nice trip! I love Big Sur. Lived there for almost 7 years(1999-2006) working at Esalen. Was also part of the Fire Brigade and Cliff Rescue team.
