Now charging the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 with 300W from alternator and 79W from 100W solar panel while idling in driveway I like this setup and I have a 200W portable solar panel to chase the sun at camp

100w solar panel installed on roof. Looks pretty flush with oem roof rack. The ETAKER F1000PRO does a good job of prioritizing solar input over car alternator input to reach the max input of my old Bluetti EB70S which limits charging to 200W...

Installed the etaker f1000 pro today. Ran the etaker 8awg wires from the car battery (Costco AGM H7) thru the firewall on the passenger side under the door trim all the way to my quarter panel molle panel And configuring the F1000 Pro using the...

Upgrading my power station game as well as my charging game. Going electric camping. Installing a rigid 100w solar panel on my stock oem roof rack. Installing an ETaker F1000Pro dc-to-dc charger that can also reverse charge my Costco AGM starter...

Tested out the 285/75R17 mud terrains (34.1” by 11.1”) and they rubbed on plastic/liner/trim in front and rear. I ended up doing some more cutting and trimming in the front. I cut maybe another 1/2” of plastic and metal. But in the rear, I only...

I have a 2003 GX470 and I recently replaced my rear upper and lower control arms, rear sway bar, rear sway bar end links, and panhard bar. All but the panhard were upgraded parts for offroad. This after many years of off-roading with the stock...

Welcome to the GX470 world and to IH8MUD

Hello - introduction . . . I happened across this forum while researching an off-road vehicle as a second car for my family. We recently retired to N Georgia and I wanted something that I would not have to worry about getting stuck pulling off...

I need ChatGPT to summarize and answer questions about your build! Lol I’ve been following for a while, but I don’t remember all your mods and sometimes I’m like what components he’s running in the rear suspension? What gears did he go with...

285/75R17 Yokohama Geolandar MT G003 (34.1” tall by 11.1” wide) and rub on the body mount 17x7.5 zero offset Foxtrots FJC steely 17x7.5 +15 offset spare

Oh and cv axles replace only if there’s an issue like ripped boots, leaks, or noises. I bought a pair of Toyota oem reman cv axles like two years ago and they are in storage.

When I bought my 2003 GX470 back in 2017, I kept the rear airbags for like 4 years before I converted to a long travel rear with coils. My rear air bags were Lexus oem and were only like 5 years old, so relatively new. I did replace the front...

Another thing to note. Bilstein has a lifetime warranty as long as you are the original purchaser. I have the 6112s on the front, 5100 rear and I have jumped the GX 4 or 5 times at 30-40MPH and my unmaintained road is really bad but I go 35+ down...

By the way, $350 is on the low side for the SoCal area. I’ve seen quotes in the $450-$500 I’m just not trusting myself with the wheel cutter! I cut some unistrut from Home Depot and it wasn’t pretty on simple cuts!

BMC is the way to go, although $350 is IMO a high price for it. It's about 45 minutes of work with the rig on the lift, and the plates are around $25 pre-cut. Might be something an exhaust shop would do cheaper.

Kammok installed but there’s no tension in the fabric. Customer support only open M-F. I can’t seem to get tension. Also, my 34-in tires rub the body mount. BMC is around $350 and body relocation is about $815 with parts included.

Kammok arrived…gonna install this weekend on my DIY super strut crossbars from home depot Also, I finally ordered the Yokohama Geolandar MT G003 in 34.1x11.1 (285/75R17). I got a deal…5 tires for $281.30 each plus tax, fees, and installation...

Yes, the Ford Ranger was overheating and they grabbed the radiator fans from an old abandoned car in the desert. I tried to take notes of who needed what repairs on that trip. Ford Ranger needed the extra fans due to an overheating problem and...

Such an amazing video.

Here are the feet of the kammok brackets

I’m sometimes criticized or ridiculed for refusing to add a brand name roof rack…but I keep on adding gear to the factory roof rack! I’m determined to make my factory roof rack hold what I need! I used universal awning brackets from exigex to...

This is another option although it has a different purpose https://fjtoymanoffroad.com/shockskids/

They are based on the same TNGA-F platform, so likely share 8-speed and rear differential size…but I have no insight…maybe diesel engine and components weight a little more than the hybrid gas engine

The ford ranger made it but it needed a big push from the Toyota 79…the ford went limp mode

The Australian YouTube channel 24/7 4WD just released videos of their incredible journey through flooded desert in Australia. The star of the show beating Land Cruiser 79, Nissan patrol, 120 prado, Mitsubishi Pajero, Ford Ranger,….the new Prado...
