    Hey man, I’m looking into picking up a set of the BD fog lights, wondering if you had to do some special wiring to get your fogs to come on without the headlights being on too? My fogs seem to only come on when headlights are on, am I just being an idiot...?

    I initially had the fogs wired to the OEM switch, but changed that after installing my Switch Pros. The Switch Pros allows me to turn them on independent and has other cool features.

    Sh!t just got real

    I'm a firm believer in the Leave No Trace and Tread Lightly principles. In some locations, you can bury feces and in others, it must be packed out. I've never been a fan of burying it or possibly digging up someone else's crap. And often times there isn't a good place to go.

    The solution is a Dometic Cassette toilet. This offers a safe and clean method of disposing of waste. No need to worry about where to go and if it needs to be buried or packed out. Everything gets stored in the 5gal waste tank and can be dumped in a standard toilet or RV waste station.

    Obviously, this isn't for everyone, It's not easy to spend $100 on a toilet for camping. For me, it's well worth the money knowing I have a clean option for camping and road trips.

    thank you for your attitude!!! pisses me off when people have their 'i can do what i want on public land' attitude. i've lived in states where there isn't public land to wheel on and i can't understand why wheelers out here won't fight harder to keep what they have.

    This bag works perfectly with my 13" MacBook Air and portable battery pack! Getting organized for my trip later this week. Headed through Wyoming, Montana, and a little bit of Idaho. Should be a fun adventure!

    Yep! Picked up an almost-new 2018 Raven (Shell) in Bonners Ferry, ID. Slept in it last night in the snow in Buffalo, WY. Nice and toasty with the furnace

    I'll make a thread for the camper with buildout and mods soon. I'd prefer not to say how much I paid, the shells start at $10,995 w/o furnace
    https://fourwh.com/product/empty-shell-model-popup-truck-camper/

    It required a small loan to make this happen

    I did - the camper wouldn't fit with the stiffeners.

    Big suspension upgrade for the Tundra!

    I picked up a set of from @Toytec Lifts earlier this week. Here are a couple of pics from the install:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Very excited to be running these, especially here in Colorado. The shock bodies are anodized aluminum which offers much more corrosion resistance over a steel shock body. This means they'll stay looking nice and won't rust like some of the other options
    (I hate mag chloride & road salt :annoyed:)

    How the truck sits:
    [​IMG]

    So far, these have completely changed the ride of the truck. The largest change is when hitting a series of bumps or potholes. With the spacer lift, the truck would dive into bumps and potholes and the steering wheel would jerk left to right. Now, I can hit the same "obstacles" and the truck barely moves. It completely absorbs the impact and the steering feels consistent. There are still a few very large bumps that you definitely feel. I plan to mess around with the High and Low-Speed compression adjustments to see if I can reduce that. It's nice being able to fine-tune the ride without having to take apart the shock

    I haven't had a chance to air down while hitting the dirt. This is just feedback from Thursday-Now. Will collect more data on my trip to SoCal in 2 weeks. I'll have a chance to hit a variety of terrain and air down the tires. With that said, I'm very impressed with the build and ride quality, these are certainly set up well right out of the box.

    More feedback will be shared after putting 1500 miles on them, keep an eye out for that post around the end of this month :bikewhoops:

    Nice! I’ve been waiting to hear how the Elkas are doing. I think only you and Jason are the only folks running em on here.

    UPDATE:

    It's been 1500 miles and I'm still very happy with the setup. 12/22 I started my trip to SoCal and made a few stops along the way. The suspension rides very nicely at highway speeds and made the trip super comfortable.

    The last 4 days I've been camping in the Anza-Borrego desert and had a chance to see what these shocks do off-road in sand, hard-packed dirt, and rocky terrain. I could maintain 25-30mph over a lot of the washes but had to slow down occasionally due to the camper on the back. It's still a little top-heavy.

    I didn't air down the tires but I'd imagine at 25psi I could easily hit 35-45mph in some of those sections. I had to get back to SD to help family with something but I plan to head back to the desert in the first or second week of January. I'll let some air out of the tires and let her rip

    Here are a few pics:
