Anyone have a Flated Air Topper camper shell or equivalent? Saw a diffrent brand at the last off road show and cant seem to find who they are. I was real impressed with the build quality.

For those of you looking at these, I have two and they rock. Most of my group has at least one. Devos Lights

Went to the local mountains this weekend. The group wanted to pull the cold weather gear out and make sure everything was in good shape. This was also an opportunity to make sure all the new people knew how to use their gear and were equipped properly. Unfortunately, none of the new people went...

Throwing this out here in case anyone is in my area and may be interested. Doing my annual Mojave Road run. We normally stage outside of Laughlin at a camp spot about 5 miles off the road Friday night. Its not uncommon for someone to come in late Friday night and grab a hotel then meet up...

I'm reserching front bumpers for my son's 18 4runner. I'm looking for what your running, likes and dislikes. It is mostly street with mild off road. Last spring he hit a deer and wants a bit more strength in front. Looking at something that covers to the side with a loop by the grill. Here's a...

This weekend is the Off-Road Expo in Pomona Ca. Its mostly geared toward desert race/Rock Crawl/SXS but there's still stuff that interests me. I do like seeing the way too expensive race trucks. I'll be heading out there Saturday morning. Was suppose to go camping but had to cancel. look for...

I had a 4 day trip planned for this weekend. Pulled a muscle in my back last weekend and had to cancel it. The sad thing is, its a place I have driven past all my life and never stopped to see it. Ancient Bristle cone Pine Forest. With winter coming in and the elevation means I have to postpone...

I'm predicting the next trend. Actually, its already started so, lets see if it turns into the next big fad. Over the last few years, I watched e-bikes evolve. I was waiting on a few things before I bought one and I'm glad I did. I was waiting for them to get lighter, less expensive, break into...

This last weekend, my group went out to Monache Meadows. Myself and another vehicle went out Friday morning. I planned to stay there until Tuesday. The group was going to be heading home on Sunday afternoon. I wanted to be on the road by 7am Friday morning. Right off the bat, my Land Cruiser...

Day 6 of suspension/steering training. My students had to strip all the suspension off a 2018 Tacoma and put it back on. Simple nut's and bolt's. Until someone decided to impact in the lower strut bolt (both sides) without properly starting the nut on the thread. UGH It's hard to see in the...

With work being chaotic lately, I haven't been out for several months. I hope its not too crowded. Just going to find some trees and relax. probably do very little off road once I get there.

I thought I would pass this along. I've been fielding questions about people installing LED tail light assemblies in 2019-2022 Toyotas and having the collision avoidance system flip out when you turn on the headlights. This may also apply to other vehicles but I only hear about Toyota's...

Just a question of mounting location. I have been roped into helping someone with these systems and it seems there's a difference on what people do and what these manufactures are telling me. There's no good or bad, just how long if you mounted either in your engine compartment.

Last month I was at an event with my friends and one of the guys brought an ammo can fire pit. It was a bit of a hit and someone was going to be selling them at the event. We go talk to this vender and UGH. Needless to say no-one bought one. Back at camp some of the guys wanted to build their...

This is one of the projects I've had on my list for a while. I wanted a water can I can use as shower, washing dish's or whatever. All the ones I saw didn't quite fit what I needed so, here's mine. Pic first then parts list and description. Parts list 1. Scepter Can lid 2. Submersible water...

OMG. its still raining. Doesn't mother nature understand that it's not suppose to rain here. This is total BS. I haven't done much work on my projects for three weeks. I even took an extra week of vacation to finish my projects and it rained. HARD. If I wanted to live in a place that actually...

I didn’t take many pictures, sorry. The ones I did take, I will place in order at the end. Saturday morning, I attended a run to Black Canyon. This was the first trip in my Tacoma. I upgraded the suspension a few months ago. It’s not going to be my main rig but one I could take out on quick day...

Another great camping trip to the desert. This trip was to the Mojave Road. We started with six vehicles and the trip was planned for four days Starting in Laughlin and ending in Afton Canyon. Due to people needing to go to work on Tuesday, we cut the last night out and exited about the 3/4...

Some of my friends headed out to Anza Borrego this weekend. Some left Friday morning with the rest catching up on Saturday morning. I ended up heading out Friday afternoon. A problem I didn't realize was the tow possible camp spots I was to meet them, were on opposite ends of the park. I drove...

Just un boxed all this and installed it in my 2019 Tacoma SR5 over the weekend. This my DD but the factory suspension just sucked. Tomorrow it gets new tires. I also got the Billet upper arms but their not in the picture.
