Ahh good catch, not literal, his tire picked it up and threw it at my window, our yard is very gravelly and we typically just idle through, so it was just bad luck.
Not a ski hill, just a bunch of ATV and off road trails in the area that lead to camping areas. Theres quite a few hiking trails...
Hah you noticed that did you? Ironically, it didn’t even happen on an overlanding trip. It happened leaving work one day when a coworker chucked a boulder at me.
Spent the weekend exploring Abraham Lake with a good buddy and his 4Runner. Between the endless views, a few questionable line choices, and the universal “I think it’ll make it” philosophy, we somehow came home with nothing but muddy trucks and good stories.
We even got caught in a proper...
That’s a totally fair concern. For what it’s worth, I’m an electrician by trade, so I’m fairly comfortable with electrical systems. While I normally work on 13.8 kV equipment, 12 V DC automotive systems are relatively straightforward by comparison.
That said, I’m not trying to encourage anyone...
My brother came to town, which basically meant overlanding was mandatory. Back to the Gosling Lake area for round two, except this time i had a spotter, and apparently a little more confidence. We cleared some obstacles that turned me around before, found some sweet water features along the way...
This might sound stupid but check that your battery terminals are tight. I’ve had this happen on an older car I owned, it was literally as simple as that. Considering the truck is new it’s possible they had the battery out for charging or replacement. Perhaps the tech forgot to tighten things...
Thanks, Lion!
As much as I'd love to be able to afford a Ranger Raptor, it's just a bit out of my budget right now. That's why I've decided to build up my XLT instead.
For the most part, I like to think (or maybe just convince myself) that if an '80s Toyota can survive the abuse of some of...
Nothing for the most part, I had to trim the plastic uhm forward mud flap on the front bumper? valence? diffuser? not sure what to call it. I just grinded a few mm's off of it. I get a little rubbing when full locked, but only if im on steep incline/decline, but for daily driving almost nothing.
Ahh thanks mate, just your typical stuff. 2.5" level from superlift with the sway bar links included in the kit, the wheels are procomp 17x9 0 offset, no spacer
Just got back from my BC roadtrip with the family. Managed to squeeze in some time up in squamish, the okanagon(terrace mountain) and the kootenays(boundary lake). Thought I'd keep the trend going from earlier and share some of the photos and videos we took.
Just wrapped up my first solo camping/overlanding trip, exploring Gosling Lake, Medicine Lake, and Rose Creek, Alberta.
Had an absolute blast, learned a ton, and quickly figured out what gear I forgot and what I wish I’d had along. Every trip is a learning experience, and this one definitely...
Not sure if this has been covered already, but I figured I’d take one for the team and test it out.
Since 33s are such a popular tire size on these trucks, I wasn’t sure whether a 33” tire on the factory wheel would fit in the stock spare tire location. Happy to report that it fits perfectly...
Just wondering if anyones mounted a rooftop tent to this trailrax roof rack. I am looking at purchasing and installing one myself, but my intentions of use are to keep the bed of the truck clear for other purposes.
