FJ55 Heavy Duty (1 Viewer)

Marketplace is a drug! Found this roof rack with lights for $50. It’s heavy, guess 350lbs. The rounded section will face forward over the driver passenger seats. Thoughts!?

Will break your rain gutters.

I'd want to keep weight on top of tippy pigs low - that said, you could distribute the weight with more and wider attachment points.

I’m putting in a rollcage with tie ins for the roof rack.

You’re right - it’s too heavy. And way over built. Just the steel alone was worth the $50 purchase.

Pan handle adventure trail. (Phat). Giai maps. Can share the file by email. 3 days - 500 miles of clay / sand roads there is some pavement driving also. Basically starts on the west side or Florida and snakes its way east to Jacksonville. The only flat was in the campground.

The 100 series is mine, for those following. Ego battery powered chain saw made quick work of the dead fall next to primitive camp site. Highest point in Floriduh.

It is good that you had a little helper. Might want to get her bigger coveralls so she can have some room to work.

wow 345 feet. I have that elevation change just driving to the grocery store.

Ok i gotta ask , Is that a two camp Cpap machine ???
What is it ?? Looks like a good trip

 

[Megadoomer]

that is a diesel heater. I bought one but have yet to use it in camping. I did use it to heat the garage so we could work on my daily. They work well but seem cumbersome.

Another procedure in the c/w column. UAB this weekend. Found some broken wires on the trailer I borrowed. Picked up a truck from the sister in law to fix and sell for her. —-/ the diesel heater works really good - $110 from Walmart. Has a remote for temp also.

cruiser content is the 100’s winch pulling out the smushed fender support. Another side project.

Me and kiddo! His power wheels control module went kaput.

Road trip! Venturing out to new parks. SMORR Southern Missouri Off Road Ranch. My home town of Poplar Bluff is just a few hours away. Managed to talk my brother Larry and his son Kyle to join me.

 

[landcrusiergod1]

Huge hill climbs - tons of trails and creek bottoms to run.

Larry ended up on his side 2 times in 10feet. The trail was rocker knocker and a level 5.
