LFD Offroad:

If you were in the market for crossbars that would support a roof top tent or something sturdier to mount your gear like I was, check out LFD Offroad. I didn’t plan on or wanted to spend $1k on a full rack. I got a pair of these for $84 each. Shipped and arrived in a few days from the time of order.

I installed it and mounted the tent. I’m extremely surprised and satisfied with how well made it is.

thought I share, in case anyone else was looking for some cross bars for their factory rails.

 

Where WE going.

 

My new job takes me pretty far up the hill. Places I probably shouldn’t be taking a 2wd transit lol

 

when your mom says 'belle of the ball' i think i know what it feels like



ordered on black Friday so 3.5 month lead time.



now i have the complete set

 

pics of tent mounted on these?

 

Wind noise no doubt. That’s how the tent looks mounted. Just got wheels and tires mounted, balanced, and aligned today.

 

What is going on with the weather? My weather sensor is reporting 72 in the backyard. Nuts.

 

Congratulations on your nanoclimate.

 

Wild and woolly today.

 

Yea it is. Stay safe bro

 

If I needed to get a few pieces of tubing bent (I can either supply or buy at the same time) who/where can do it? Probably best in San Jose or Santa Cruz area. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a shop. Should be pretty easy. Just one piece with two ~45’s on the end maybe 3’ total and two more with one 90 around the same length.

Any good shops or local people? I should just buy a bender at this point but I don’t have room.

 

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

 

For those of you trying to kick that St. Patty's Day hangover. I introduce to you The Corned Beef Bloody.

 

No cabbage.

 

I knew someone was going to say that. None managed to survive last night unfortunately.

 

I made a fairing from a cheap piece of plastic from TAPPlastics.com (I went to their Auburn Blvd. location) and some brackets from Ace or Home Depot. It looks like you can use the tracks in the bottom of the tent to mount it.

If you cut off the air flow from the front under the tent, you really increase the aerodynamics and reduce the noise.

I love the look of a white 4Runner with black wheels and tires.

 

Great idea! I’ll try it out. I agree with the looks. Your rig inspired me to pull the trigger and just get a 4Runner lol!

 

Tacoma's we're out in force at JMP today, anyone here?

 

Beefy!
