I am a fan of this idea. I built my own platform out of 20/20 aluminum and it didn't cost anything close to $600. But it works well, I am 6'2" and can lay straight out if I want to, with my head against the drivers seat back...
It's been a good long while since I posted anything here ... life gets busy, we've moved, blah blah.
I have used it a few times for "solo" camping over last couple of years - mostly the night before a big hike.
This weekend the family got out...
This post is not GX related and may be deleted, but that's okay. But it’s 100% Toyota related.
This is a shout out to Matt Yeomans and Stacey Tourout, creators of Toyota World Runners YouTube channel. They have a great Youtube channel of off...
I finally got around to cleaning my reg from being in the Sierra's for over a week. Boy, what it dirty. wood chips, bark, dust, pine needles, it was quite a mess.
So I pulled out the 'ol shop vac, pull out every floor mat and carpet.
Dusted and...
This is my build out list for my rig in the photos above. I should also point out that YotaMasters who did most all of the work purchased some of the items such as the dual battery isolator kit, switch box for all my lights, compressor and...
A suggestion:
Get some long cable ties (zip ties: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078P8Y1ZM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) and slip one under one side, near the end of the battery and zip it only enough to get your...
Don't forget skid plates! A must have even for light off roading.
Also, if you're not doing a rear bumper, you'll probably need to trim the rear factory bumper up a wee bit for a better departure angle.
I agree however all my co workers are up north and only talk about nfl. It amazes how much time is wasted on sports period. All sports. I know waste time on land cruisers, mountain bikes and efoiling but damn that chits important (to me). Ha.
I think I aslo saw that post, he totalled his truck the week before the bumper arrived. Felt bad for him!
I suggest looking at the Victory blitz. I chose that over the CBI mainly due to winch accessibility and coverage underneath. You'll see...
Thoughts on the GX460 Transmission - let me know if I am thinking about this wrong.
Very strange to see my TFT on the Scangauge II go up in the 200 degree range on the 760F transmission - with just normal around town driving
Definitely doing the...
Sad state for the country. This swift stuff. Amzing it happened right before the nfl season. They will probably get married as a superbowl halftime show. Growing up in the south with 3 tv channels (no cable or satellite available), we never...
I am just gonna say this - The amount of time SEC fans spend talking about college football per capita FAR outweighs the time my family spends talking/watching the Chiefs - and that doesn't even cover the time "wasted" on crappy NFL teams in the...
A guy in Raleigh has a brand new CBI front bumper - I am considering buying it - it looks easy to install. I need to read some more build threads to see if folks like it or not.
