'Permanently' attached the tent. Made some brackets out of 1/8in thick steel and steel tube. Beefier then the yakima round bar it sits on....

Can run wires into cab through rear window, and maybe a snack bin on top of sub box for easy access.

Nice! How much did that set you back?

[Wschnitz]

Tent is free since im borrowing it from parents.

The Rack is $300 and the brackets I made probably cost me $15.

Finally got the 62 a little dirty in the Ozarks over labor day. The first picture resulted in approximately 96 million chigger bites.

^ I'm in love with your FJ62. Looks lovely with that stance and in red.

Finally got everything put on the truck. Have only taken it off-road down some rutted out dirt roads, but has made all the difference. Now to actually put it to use...

What size tires and wheels did you go with, and are you having any rubbing issues?

I have basically the same truck, and I have some 16" SCS wheels sitting in my garage that I need to get tires for.

I haven't thought of asking on R3V, but why not ..?

I've got an '05 Tacoma PreRunner with the 4.0 v-6. I got a good deal on it 2 years ago but it has a lot of miles. Runs great!

Its always had a gurgling sound coming from the dashboard when leaving a stop sign. My first Blackstone test 3 mos ago showed coolant in the oil, it's had a misfire #4 twice on really cold mornings.

Yep, I have a head gasket problem.

Thing is, I barely use any coolant, it runs great and doesn't overheat. Been this way for 3 years as far as I know

Do I need to sweat this or just keep an eye on it?

I would probably get it fixed as soon as you can... wouldn't want to have to drive somewhere important and have it fully shit the bed then...

Method 311's, 285/75/16 duratrac's. Rubs when backing up and under articulation, just needs some massaging with a heat gun but haven't gotten around to it.

Thanks. Good to know. Thats size I was going to go with.
I really like those Method wheels too. I almost ordered a different set of Method wheels.

Final outing in my 01 Tundra.

Went into the Kaibab at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Found the type of sign that you can't pass up when you're itching to get your new truck onto some dirt.

Got some flex on. Trucks roll/pitch monitor said I was at 22 degrees. New number to exceed the next time I go out.
