I just went to Four Wheel Campers' website to do a little research, and to my surprise their new website is UP. Not sure if they are just testing or if it's up to stay but it is LIVE :wings: :victory: :sombrero: :smiley_drive: Good for them! This is a long overdue upgrade for them. James...

For Sale: 2007-Up Tundra 17" 5-lug TRD Forged Aluminum Rock Warrior wheels, 17x8" SOLD $400 OBO. Located in Reno, NV These wheels are very light, and 17" so you have more tire and less wheel. I think they look great too. Wheels have new, high-pressure metal valve stems (no TPMS) that...

SOLD 2008 Kimberley Kamper (new in Jan 2009) SportsRV off-road camping trailer. This trailer was in excellent (near mint) condition before being hit broadside in a traffic accident this past March and rolled onto its top. It had been used for 17 nights and towed for less than 5,000-miles...

I'm studying the market for suspension options for a new Tundra. This is not a build thread, that will come later either via a magazine article, my (sleeping) blog, or a thread here on The Portal :) The truck is a 2011 CrewMax 4x4 and will be built similar to my 2006 4Runner. Although I would...

Announcing www.RoadTraveler.net I've joined the ranks of bloggers/website publishers this week with RoadTraveler.net. It will include some overland travel content, but currently has much technical and gear-related posts. There is much about tires... Please have a look. James

I have been a fan of the 2005+ Tacomas since introduction. Though I'm a huge fan of white cars and trucks for practical reasons, particularly 4WDs, today I saw a new Tacoma in the parking of the DMV and it really caught my eye! I don't know where to get a picture to post here, but I think it...

Time to give these tires a thread of their own. I don't have much to share yet, as I only have a few hundred miles on them and very few off-highway. In the coming months they will see some on-road and off-highway trips. I don't expect any surprises, obviously they won't be 'awesome' if the snow...

I did a search and read a few threads but couldn't locate the exact answer I'm looking for. I want to know the 'Minimum' recommended droop travel for the 03-09 4th Gen 4Runners (Tacomas/FJCs). I thought somebody told me a couple years ago that 10mm was the minimum for a good ride and...

Because of issues I have experienced recently with tire pull or more correctly, "ply steer" or "residual aligning torque" a thread is in order to discuss & expose the phenomena for those who may experience similar challenges. With select tires (Toyo MT, BFG KM2, and less so w/Cooper ST) my '06...

http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoSeparationAnxiety.dos This is an interesting & informative article about trailer tires. I agree with the guy that says you ‘can’ only fill your tires with ‘enough’ PSI for the load. Of course you need to know the weight of the load. I like using adequate...

I just received a new Engel MT60 Combi from Adventure Trailers (thanks AT). It seems when the freezer side is set to a refer temp, the refer only side that is supposed to be regulated to 40-degrees is too warm, in the high 50s! If the 'freezer side' dial is set to 2.5-3 to get the freezer...

SOLD My 2006 Chaser is for sale! I purchased the Chaser directly from Adventure Trailers Dec. 28, 2006. We towed home and stored our my garage waiting for Spring. It was first used on June 2, 2007, less than two years ago. When not in use it has been kept in our heated garage. It's in great...

Looking for input on these treads and this size. First some groundwork. I have been giving serious thought to testing a set of 285/75R16 tires on my '06 4Runner. Those who have read some of my tire posts know that I'm a big proponent of the LT255/85R16 size. But there are so many more treads...

I have both Scepter plastic and Wecdo NATO type fuel cans. We've been using the Scepters for the last couple years but recently I decided to give the the Wedcos some use and testing. One advantage to the Wedcos is that the filler nozzle is easy for me to carry in the ammo can on my spare tire...

http://www.toyota.com/4runner/trail-edition.html A factory rear locker WITH ATRAC is a very build-able platform. The low clearance of stock 4Runners is a serious limitation, but is easily corrected with an inexpensive OME suspension. I strongly favor 16-inch tires/wheels, and LT255/85R16s will...

I'm starting a new thread specifically for the Maxxis BIGHORN tread as I think they deserve it. While there are a few good threads with lots of info about the Bighorns in them (Ursidae69/Chuck's), they don't have "Bighorn" in the title and are not necessarily easy to locate in a search. This...

I believe I could use longer rear shocks on my 4Runner to allow more droop travel. I have seen pictures on the web which confirmed what I was told by a vendor, that the N141 shocks I have to compliment my rear OME 895 springs are about the same length as stock. Shocks about 2-inches longer...
