    **Rickashay's Sleeping Platform - 3rd Gen 4Runner

    I've built a couple storage solutions now (the OG Dirt Duster, my 80-Series, the Tundra, and I had one being built for the 4th Gen) and this is definitely a cumulation of what I've learnt. I am 6'6" tall so sleeping in the 3rd gen 4Runner is not an easy task. Plus with a new baby (3 month old)...

    Colossal 2017 - The Canadian Wild.

    \ INTRO \ It's that time of year once again and as we prep to embark on another awesome journey for 2017, I thought I would take a few moments to share a couple words. It's been a crazy year altogether with my father's unexpected passing in January. A shame but ultimately the catalyst that...

    FS: #Doug - Rickashay's 04' Tundra BUILT

    **SOLD** Time to drop the bomb. To say this has been a difficult decision for my wife and I would be a lie. I've known it was coming for about 3 weeks now and have literally been postponing this moment. I've built a handful of rigs now and I can confidently say that "#Doug" has hands down been...

    Baja Designs XL Pro Lights

    Just curious if anyone is running them? They have a 15% off sale + $5 shipping right now and I have been eyeing these lights for some time. I'm sure they are amazing but wanted to test the Expo waters for some feedback. Supposed to compete with an 8" HID for distance which is really impressive...

    Westward Wonderings - Rocky Mountains, BC

    My 04' Tundra Mistress - Keep my LX or Build the Tundy

Some of you may have been familiar with my built 98' 4Runner on here (the Dirt Duster) and my current LX (Tom Cruiser). I REALLY liked my 98 4Runner...

    A Fair Farewell - An Exceptional Weekend in the Crowsnest Pass, AB

    Not much work on the truck lately. I've been using it more than turning wrenches, so I guess that's not a bad problem to have! I was able to head out to the Crowsnest again this weekend with some good friends. One of our local CT4WD members is moving to Ontario and asked is I (and a few others)...

    Just posted this over on T4R.org however I thought I would share over here as well. Ignore the @usernames... Now it's my turn for a photo dump. I thought I'd try doing a more "narrative" approach to our run yesterday as I kind of enjoy it sometimes...and I wouldn't want all of my University...

    Crowsnest Pass Alberta, Canada (Nov. 2011) - First snow run of the year!

    I went for a run in the Crowsnest Pass yesterday with a few buddies/CT4WD members from Calgary. Pretty mellow day as we didn't quite get into any of the trails I had planned on running. 20111119-IMG_0648 by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20111119-IMG_0642 by RickaShay24, on Flickr First Tracks...

    Whipsaw Trail BC, July 2011

    This past weekend I drove nearly 1000kms to attend the CT4WD Whipsaw Trail Run. It was an awesome adventure and the trail sure lives up to all of the hype. It proved to be more difficult than normal due to the extremely late snow melt this year. In the first 2 days of travel, we covered about...
