I haven’t mentioned this yet, but I’ve been confirmed for a good bit of time now. Me and two other folks from Outbound Overland will be teammates while competing in the 2019 Red Clay Rally (RCR). Give them a follow on Instagram — @carlos.elmotor and @gfxcruncher. The RCR is a long weekend of “racing” to test […]
A couple weekends ago I got together with some friends and did a little camping and off-roading through the George Washington National Forest. Our group had two 4th Gen 4Runners, one 5th Gen 4Runner and one Land Cruiser 100. Most of them headed down Friday night but I didn’t head down until Saturday morning. That […]
This project was a fun one, and a little trying at times. I had seen these types of slides online, but if you were to order one pre-made, you’re looking at over $500! Even a standard slide like the ARB Fridge Slide is a pretty penny. All in, I was about $110 (slides, steel & […]

I’ve had my Falken A/T3W tires in size LT275/65/18 E on my 4th Gen 4Runner for over a year now (New Tires and Suspension Thread) and I feel as though I’ve driven on them enough to give a proper review and account of my experience. Though I am a Discount Tire affiliate, I still buy all […]
Install day for my Prinsu Design Studio roof rack finally came. When preparing all the parts and laying them out, I realized that there are no instructions in the packaging that the rack came in. Not to worry though, because Prinsu has all of the install guides online HERE. After reviewing the instructions, it was […]
