    Bed rack is rusting at welds

    My bed rack has some rusting forming at the weld spots and I'm wondering what can be done about this? I was thinking wire brush and shoot it with Rustoleum seeing that it's just black and you'll likely not even notice it. But I don't want to do this again next year. Will this work?

    How are temp ratings on sleeping bags established?

    Quick question on sleeping bag temp ratings, how accurate are these and better yet, how do they determine these temps? Does someone jump in one as temps are dropped and they determine when they are not comfortable? "OK... temps are now 15F, I'm cold so let's give this one a 15F rating?"

    Are you in a 4wd club?

    We don't have any around here and a buddy gave me the idea of starting one. If you are in one, how often are you meeting up? And do you need to have people sign wavers of liability?

    Removing brush scratches from your paint?

    When you have taken your truck down some brush paths and it gets scratched up a bit, any idea how you can pull out the deeper ones? I have some scratches that just won't come out after a good buffing.

    Which 270 awning for your trailer??

    I completely forgot to ask this yesterday. I want an awning that will hold up best to winds. While I know, no awning is bullet proof, is there one that is known for being strongest AND has walls you can deploy when needed?

    ARB Old Man 3 inch lift kit for 2020 4Runner??

    Morning. I'm shopping around for a lift and curious, if I have a roof top tent on top of my rig, would this still categorize as medium load? Or should I aim for something different? Keep in mind I have gear in the back and soon a fridge that is getting added...

    How far can you run a portable solar panel from the battery?

    Have you seen those portable solar panels? So my question is, I'm going to make a longer wire for this. So I can set up the solar panel further away from camp. Most times when I set up camp, I'm seeking shaded area. But that doesn't work for collecting solar rays. So my awesome idea of the...

    Quietest set of mud tires?

    I get that mud tires will always be louder than all terrains, but it boils down to tread design and tire technology. So which mud tire takes the trophy for this?

    Gaia GPS still the best?

    Honestly I'm new here and just making small talk. I subscribed to Gaia a couple years ago. I have a new phone and can easily download the app again. However my question is more in the direction of, "is Gaia still considered the best" with overlanders and people getting off road?

    2020 SR5 4Runner 4x4 dream SUV picked up

    I've been a Jeep owner and even had a Chevy Blazer that I learned how to drive off road back in the day. I just got a sweet deal on a 2020 SR5. Well technically I didn't JUST get, I bought 5 months ago. But still, it seems new to me. I haven't done anything to it yet. Actually just got the...
