I have the OME heavy kit on the FJ currently. While it worked well and handled all the weight on and in the rig well, there are some things I didn't like. I want my new suspension to actually level the vehicle. I want it to have a better ride, meaning the ride with the OME heavies wasn't bad...

The wife and I have really enjoyed going out and exploring in my FJ the last few years, but we're looking to try something new. Adventure riding seems to fit the bill for us. Due to us being new to this part of the hobby and riding in general we don't want to spend a fortune and go buy 2 BMW...

Of the two, which would you choose and why? A buddy of mine is mid build and looking at both options. They're both out of my price range, I'm in more of a Foxwing price point, but he's looking at these two. I've never seen either in person, so I figured I'd ask here and get some reviews from...

I tried searching but couldn't find anything recent, so what's the newest go-to battery for these 12V thirsty vehicles? I have all the usual lights, phone and camera chargers, fridge, and all of that stuff we all have. My factory battery is on it's last leg so I need a new one, but I'm curious...

So I'm in the market for a fridge. I used a Canyon Cooler 55qt and it served me very well on my two week cross-country trip from Florida to Colorado last summer, but I think a fridge would have made like a lot easier. The way I see it, this is a buy once, cry once kind of purchase, so I want...

So I'm looking to upgrade my lighting. After several trips through the mountains of Georgia and Tennessee, and a recent cross country trip to Colorado, I discovered I need a little more lighting. I like the current set up, but I'm looking for further reaching and and brighter light than I...

I used a couple house pillows during my last adventure. They worked, but they left my wife and I wanting. We looked at several options at REI while in Boulder, but never pulled the trigger. We have Tempurpedic pillows at home, but I'm not throwing those up in the RTT for any period of time...

I spent a couple weeks living in my RTT while I traveled from Florida to Colorado and back. While camping I used my Marmot sleeping bag which was comfortable but not great. After a few days I got used to sleeping in it and all was well, especially on the cooler nights, but I would like to use...

I couldn't get a spot for the FJSummit so I decided to take the trip anyway and try to see some of the country. My wife couldn't get enough time off so I ended up flying her out and back and driving solo to and from Orlando to Colorado. This was the day I left, June 23rd. I made the drive...

I use a Coleman stove for cooking meals, but during a 2 week cross country trip I found myself wanting something simple I could use to just boil water for coffee and Mountain House meals. My dad was using his Jetboil during our trip and it seemed to work excellent for him, but I go to their...

I had a CB installed but I have added a spring to it and need it retuned. The gentleman who initially installed and tuned it retired and there's no one left in my area who does it anymore so I figured I'll just take the time to learn how to do it myself. Looking online it doesn't seem too...

I have a Baja Rack utility rack with a tent and awning mounted on it. Because of everything else mounted up there, the Baja Rack Maxtrax mounts won't work. I want to mount the up there like in the picture below. I don't seem to be able to find a kit that will do this, but here's what I'm...

As the title states I have a Firestik firefly, which is mounted to the Cruiser with a quick disconnect currently. With this set up I can still open the rear window, barely, which is important to me. Unfortunately, when I go wheeling the antenna hits a lot of trees and I'm afraid I'm going to...

I ordered a couple of the Cruiserhead light switches off of Amazon a few days ago and just got them in. They look pretty cool I think, and much more of a factory look without spending 60 bucks a switch like the Toyota ones. I am however, having an issue getting one of them working. I'm...

Took the Cruiser to the beach on Thursday. Beautiful weather all the way there until we reached the beach where we saw a huge thunder storm rolling in. Got parked and never got set up before it started pouring. I did manage to take advantage of some excellent natural lighting before the rain...

Jade Overland FJ Cruiser build I had to sell my 2WD Mazda to get myself through the police academy, and I still miss that truck. I managed to go places and see things I wouldn't have without it, and it began my interest in off roading. Once I graduated I and got hired on I decided it was...
