Sorry for not responding... Yes it was an eBay special. I'm going to start looking into an ARB snorkel. If I can reuse my existing holes, I will pull the trigger quick. If the fit will not work with whats already there, I am going to have a new fender painted when/if I finally get around to...

Alright... Time for an update. Finally pulled the Soy out of the garage. I refreshed the entire driveline with wheel bearings, SPC uca, lower ball joints, u-joints, ECGS clam shell bushing, half shafts, and finally installed and wired the dual batteries. Oh, and best of all, ditched the...

Rob, If you look at the side shot of the installed snorkel, you can see a bit of a cut out in the snorkel. The original bracket was meant to bolt on there as screw to the A pillar. Since my install was slightly off, or the snorkel didn't follow the vehicle right, I heated the plastic and pulled...

I have not done the dual battery install yet. I had a few other things come up and it was put on the back burner. I believe the install will move forward this winter while the Soy goes under the knife again. Tear down begins in the next week or so and I will update on the progress.

I made a backing plate that mounts behind the plastic but I'm not sure it really adds any strength. I did not use any loctite, nor any other type of locking. The tension of the plastic has held everything together well to this point. I have roughly 8,000 miles with the ball mount holding the...

Here is an update on my boat trailer conversion... After beefing up the frame, running a 2x2x1/4" box steel front to back, building a plywood box, and making a cooler/stove slide out from MDF scrap, I have been very pleased with the results.

Oh, one more item to address... I have been very dissatisfied with my Treadwright tires. I ended up having some vibration issues after installing the tires and Treadwright basically told me to go fly a kite... After a significant amount of weight we were able to get them to balance good but they...

Alright... It's been far to long and no update from me... I haven't done too much to the old Soy. I'm still working with Gamiviti to make a slight tweak to their existing rack to allow use on a Sequoia but things have been slow. I needed/wanted a roof rack again so I took some ideas from Sal R...

Great looking truck! Where in Montana are you located? We lived in Bozeman for a short time before having to relocate back to Minnesota. We will be back...

I use an ipad while on the trails so I mounted a ram ball to the side of the center counsel. It is usable but I'm going to try adding a 1/2" spacer to give me a bit more adjustability. If I still can not get my ipad in the exact location I want, I may switch to a Ram RAM-VB-137ST1. This was a...

As stated on insta, I'm in! Better get back to wrenching so I'm ready! Let us know what dates so I can start making my countdown chain. And by "I", I mean my boys...

I love the idea of a RTT. When I say love, I mean LOVE! However, for the space, I can not justify the cost. I have a family of 5. If I want to be able to fit all of us, I need to spend around the GDP of a small country! They are handy but I'm going to have to just suffer through setting up my...

Mine was done prior to purchase. I'm curious if Nomad had an open recall on his first Sequoia. I remember his side/curtain bags not opening.

Here is the "camper" we currently use: It does the job, and will pop a bag of popcorn... However, it is not practical for long off road excursions. It functions well as a basecamp, and really can't be beat for that purpose but I'm looking for something I can take on longer trail runs. So...

I used a firestik SS-174 hood mount prior to the accident. It was a little tricky to mount as there are some bend lines on the inside lip of the fender. It made the mount sit at an awkward angle. I took some bend out of the mount to compensate and make the antenna sit straight vertically but the...
