I need someone to tell me I’m dreaming right now. I’ve been eyeballing the decommissioned Japanese “megacruisers” in the diesel section of the forum and can’t help but think of a camper build. They seem to fit perfectly inside a shipping container, reportedly can hit 81mph new and empty, and get...
Hey this is probably not news but just documenting my install should it help anyone. I’ve install a Denso remanufactured 130 amp alternator (part number 210-1099) as a PM/ upgrade to my stock 80 amp alternator. Fit guide shows this alternator as being compatible with 03-07 100 series, 07-09...
Thought I would share a quick amateur fab project. Wife bought a used Tag a Long so the smallest kiddo could ride longer distances with us. It’s great but the seat post mount is too tall for the amount of seat post stick out on her frame. I ended up making a new one from 4130 as I know that’s...
Article about magnetic tray
I saw this today and immediately thought it has a spot in my tool kit! I’ve never carried a magnetic tool tray because they are just too bulky so this is pretty cool to my. Is anyone aware of anything similar?
Got a used winch but need somewhere to mount it to. Winch is a Warm M12k that came with Synthetic line, safety thimble, aluminum fairlead, and a mount of some sort that won’t fit my LX470 hence the build/modification.
My goal was to mount this under the bumper and I could but I wanted a bit of...
So I’m sure 1000 others have done this before but here it is anyways. Using the standard parking light bulb (194 bulb perhaps?) is not at all adequate for a day light bright blinker. With that in mind here is a quick overview of how to move your actual blinker bulb to your parking light location...
Hey guys and gals! I’m an amateur who likes to weld but I’ve never actually welded on a car. I have a 100 series I want to chop part of the front frame rails off of and beef up for mounting a bumper to. I’ll likely use my TIG welder with Hi Freq start. My understanding is to disconnect the...
For sale is a CVT Mt. Rainer Extended (3+ person) RTT in tan with full annex room and spare rain cover. Neither has ever been used. Just today I installed a new PVC cover with zipper and a few straps so it looks brand new. Also comes with an anti condensation mat. Tent is 2 3/4 years old...
For sale is my camp kitchen that no longer fits in my new rig. Made of 3/4” birch plywood and aluminum with a flush fit stainless sink, storage compartment, and soft close ball bearing slide out for a stove. Adjustable locking legs that pivot on 4 bronze bushings and stainless hardware. The drop...
Ok so as a family man few things hold greater importance than getting to paper towels quickly and with one hand. Here’s my setup but what’s yours? Do you keep it packed away or accessible in the truck? Do you only set it up once you’ve made camp etc?
My priorities are full time access camping...
So this has probably been covered a million ways but here is my cheap home brew water system that has been serving my family well for several years. Since I was filling it up figured I would share.
I used a cheap but decent Sceptor water can and removed the pour spout. In its place is a peice...
Hey guys and gals. I found two thing rubbing on my serpentine belt today and was hoping for some help identifying both an electric connector that seems to go to or near the power steering pump as well as the nut/stud circled. Trying to remove the nut from the stud but the stud came out instead...

This has been kicking around on my local Craigslist for a few weeks. Not mine, don’t know anything about it. Just FYI.
Howdy ya’ll. New guys first post here. I saw other instances of bespoke tablet mounts being posted here but please advise if this belongs elsewhere (tool/fabrication seemed to be mostly tool talk). As always the scrap material on hand largely dictated the design parameters but I think it’s gonna...
