    Trash bag Options for Slide In Camper

    Sorry guys, I think I probably confused the matter. Looking for something like this, but larger. Buying bags isn’t a problem, just need a place to put them. This if for off grid stuff, at a campground it’s a nonissue...

    Trash bag Options for Slide In Camper

    My Northerlite doesn’t have a place for trash, thinking of putting one of those spare tire overland trash “can’s” on the ladder on the back. Any recommendations or other ideas? Would really like something larger than 30 gal, any 50-60 gal options out there?

    What slide in camper to get?

    I would much rather build my own and get exactly what I want, but I already have way too many projects. Do you have a thread from any of your builds? Thank you, I will take a look. Yes, and sometimes thats an option, but sometimes it's not. I can't count the number of times it's a bad...

    What slide in camper to get?

    A popup for me is probably out, I spend a lot of time on the Washington coast and BC in our rainforest hunting elk and steelheading. As well as I can only image the burn rate for fuel in eastern Montana in the winter. I don't like the idea of constantly having to run into town to refuel propane...

    What slide in camper to get?

    Planning on buying a slide in camper for my full size (8ft bed) truck, and I am a little surprised by weights on these. Been looking at some of the typical brands; Northern lite sportsman, Wolf creek 840, Lance 850, Bigfoot 15C9.5FS, etc. and by the time you load them up with gear, food, fuel...

    285/75R16 Tire Recommendations

    Thanks for the reply’s and thoughts guys. In the bronco I have to use 4WD in ski resort parking lots so I don’t think my disappointment in their shallow snow/slush and compact snow/ice is unfounded. I have driven all over this continent in the worse possible conditions and I will say our...

    285/75R16 Tire Recommendations

    I need new tires on my 1999 Ford Superduty Diesel and would love to hear some of your guys ideas and experiences. Mostly a tow rig, but it sees some very questionable conditions while fishing, hunting, and camping. I am looking for an aggressive all terrain or mild mud terrain with a min load...

    Dual t-case crawl box in Expo rig?

    Thanks guys. I was thinking of running the stock gear sets in both. Once I get to my place of adventure I like having the front hubs locked, but to be in 2wd. I find myself needing a lower gear just to drive around, but don't need/want 4wd. So having one in low, hubs locked, 2wd sounds...

    Dual t-case crawl box in Expo rig?

    My 1988 4runner is my daily driver/fishing/hunting/camping/mini expo rig. I do a lot of freeway driving for my various adventures, but also a fair amount of mild wheeling once I get there. The one thing my truck is missing is a granny gear, growing up with 70's pickup trucks I absolutely love...

    Looking for some brand recommendations for a slide in camper

    Thank you for the info guys. Does anyone have any details on the manufacturing materials of these two campers brands? The websites didn’t give much. I really don’t want anything structural that can rot out easily (like wood). The bigfoots website talks about some plywood between where the...

    Looking for some brand recommendations for a slide in camper

    My father and I are looking to get a camper for our 1999 F-250 Superduty longbed Diesel truck. On initial look we were surprised by how heavy most of these were, many in the 4k+ weight range. Not only is that more than we want, but its way more than the truck is rated for. Some that were...

    Stock height 1st gen 4runner springs

    So to follow up… Hopefully this will help others doing searches in the future. I purchased a set of “factory replacement” leaf springs from Northwest Off-Road Specialties. I know some people haven't had the best of luck with that company, but after talking to the tech on...

    Stock height 1st gen 4runner springs

    Brand new bilsteins, put them in with the SD springs and new rearend a few months ago. I have a similar shackle angle on both my worn out OEM springs and the SD replacements. Both packs rest completely on the overloads with unladen on level ground. I will try and get some pictures to post up...

    Stock height 1st gen 4runner springs

    Well, when the sag starts affecting safety, that's an issue. I just want to get it back to OEM specs. They are so close to the bumpstops that in jounce they can hit, which means infinite spring rate, which means snap oversteer. Even when the truck is completely unladed; the shackles are at such...

    Stock height 1st gen 4runner springs

    I don't want to lift my 1988 4runner, I just want some factory height springs that will not sag. I recently replaced my sagging OEM springs with a set of factory replacements from http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/ for $150. Once I dropping my truck by on the ground after I installed them it was...

    Shock recommendations for 1st gen 4runner

    Thanks guys. I really don't have any interest in lifting the rig right now. I called Bilstein and according to them the 4600 DO fit non lifted rigs (despite what some of the distributor catalogs say), so I think I am going to go with them. Although the KYB's are a lot cheaper... Dave, what...

    Shock recommendations for 1st gen 4runner

    Looking for some recommends for shocks on my 1st gen 4runner. Something very durable (or at least a great warranty), good ride, and doesn’t limit the 4wheeling. I was just planning on picking up some bilsteins, but it’s not lifted and my search seems to indicate that they only sell shocks for...
