Do you have a sunroof? is the buffeting bad?
It is great... definitely some buffering but with sunroof shade closed can barely hear it
Huge fan! What roof rack is that? How do you like it? Looks sick!

I like mine. Came on the 13 LC I bought a couple months ago. At first, I wondered what it was and how it was going to work. Now I'm a big fan. Long enough to function like the bed of a pickup when needed.
Playing hooky from work and stitching her back together.

Fitting Full Fat 35x12.5 on an LX
Join along as I work through making the necessary clearance mods for 35x12.5R20s tires on my LX. These Toyo AT3s spec out to be 34.5" x 12.5". If you have any suggestions, I'm interested in hearing. Note that this fitment is specific to the LX as it's easier to fit larger and wider tires...

Bought a very unique travel trailer today. Erwin Hymer Touring GT. Pop top for 6’5” of inside height, while closed its only 7’4” and will fit into my garage.
Short king size main bed, dinette turns into another small bed. Wet bath, toilet, a/c, furnace, etc.
All fibreglass construction with aluminum framing inside walls. Galvanized tongue. 2480lbs dry.
Will be lifting this thing pretty much instantly, and getting rid of that rake. Will start a new build thread when I get home sometime tomorrow!

Little maintenance at 130k/10 years: Replaced fan shroud (leak in reservoir), radiator hoses, heater Ts (new pipes for both, not just Ts), idler bearing, idler pulley, thermostat, and drive belt.
Other than the shroud, it was all essentially unnecessary. Bearings were tight enough, hoses were in perfect shape. Here’s to 260k I guess?

Yakima monunted. Ready for the tent now
Which bumper/bar is that? Looks great, but I’m wondering how effective it would be

My 2008 has had Firestone airbags in the rear for about the last 4 years. I’ve used them to boost the rear an inch or so, and air them up when towing. This setup has been generally pretty good. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, I towed my heavy ass Cummins FJ40 on a U-Haul trailer, and I pumped the airbags up to 60 PSI to combat the sag. About an hour into my four hour trip and... BOOM! Both bags blew. The truck handled safely, but I hit the bump stops on every expansion joint for the next three hours.
This weekend I replaced the rear springs and bags with OME 2721s. It took just over an hour, and is very straightforward. Hoping this setup does well for me. I don’t intend to tow as heavy as the FJ40 again anytime soon. Shown is before and after and the exploded airbags and old springs next to the new 2721s.

Isn’t the max allowable pressure 40lb in Firestone airbags?
Yeah Probably. I am not mad at the bags, I think I was asking too much of them... this was just a good excuse to go ahead with new springs, which I’ve been thinking about for a while anyway.

Well this is a tiny improvement but I finally got the BCDC1225D project 100% completed with the addition of an Anderson SB50 connector for Solar.
Slee's Redarc BCDC mounting bracket is pre-drilled for an SB50 type connector - that's probably not readily obvious as I don't see it on their website nor have I seen it in any pictures of installations.
Next up is to get the solar panels - I'm opting for the Merlin X160.
