I guess this could have gone in this thread...but here's a link to the details of what's now in my driver's door:

Cutting Big Scary Holes (Inverter Success)

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Got all the 200 suspension kits unpacked. Here's @TonyP 45mm adjustable kit

Installed a pair of Front Runner cargo rollers on the roof rack to make loading the kayaks a little easier.

I am planning on doing the H11 to H9 bulb mod. Did a similar mod on my 4runner and worked awesome. The h9 is so much brighter, and the mod takes about 10 minutes (mod to bulbs, not the LC housing).

Here is some info, the process for the LC will obviously be the same:
How To: Headlight Bulb Conversion (H11 to H9 & 9005 to 9011) - Toyota 4Runner Forum - Largest 4Runner Forum

Did you ever end up doing this?

I was reading up on it as well. If the housing can handle it, it seems like a cheap way to get a substantial bump in light output.

Put on the Attic and rear seat Mole panels from Blue Ridge.... really nice solution to a problem I didn't know I had....!

I also found that by rmoving the Seat belts and related parts I can use that fopr a mounting point with a rock climbing loop on each side.

Drove down to Crater Lake. The road (last 3 miles) to the rim was closed. They keep it plowed but another 2 to 3 feet had fallen overnight. It was still cool seeing the deep snow.

Hey! That looks familiar!

Funny you mention the Climbing thing (carabiner)...as I was just about to go find one in order to more easily disconnect the "attic" when I want...

Also noticed you decided to put the seat molle on second row eating rather than first. I don't have kids nor frequent rear passengers, so the front works for me.

Some really nice stuff made by those guys...

New England and NY were hammered this year, but the 65' snow walls here in Japan are just wild.

My question is... What the heck keeps that massive wall of snow from collapsing onto the road??? That must be many many thousands of TONS of snow, with a straight, unbraced stack. WOW.

Yes, I did. I will get around to posting a write up.

Yes, our 3' of snow 2 weeks ago pales in comparison to this. What an awesome pic. I would be a little weiry of driving/walking through there though

It has to be a wet and dense snow pack. Most I've ever seen was around 20' and it was like cement.

Took advantage of REI's 20% off sale and got the Yakima skybox 18. Drove 3 hours today on the interstate and it didn't affect the mpg or the handling. Very happy with it.

Beautiful

I have the 21 cubic feet Thule, and mine definitely affects mpg and wind noise

Dropped it off at Disneyland...err Slee for some upgrades before Moab. If you haven't seen the Slee built 70 series you're missing out. I was stoked to see it in the flesh today!
