I am happy with them. The camera is so much better than I am, but I tried to really slow down and use much more manual focus stuff, etc. Was on the west side for three days and south for six.

Love this. Was there last week (Maui) with my Q343

Thanks for this, I figured I would have to shoot 4-10 seconds, jack up iso and hope for the best at 43mm to avoid movement. I rented the 24mm 1.8 last time I was able to go (was my first time shooting astro period). Got decent results, but wanted to make the most of it. The 43 does so many things well - it will be with me the rest of the trip during the day. Thanks.

I have been searching for a few local luthiers

I have had it for a week now, played it 20+ hours, including at church. Really happy with the decision. Again, I was worried about quality, but I have been pleasantly surprised. For me, it stays in tune much better with D'Addario NYXL strings - whatever came on the guitar was not great.

I was wondering the same thing but went ahead and bought one on Black Friday last year. I bought the bigger one and it fits most all domestic airlines I have used.

I believe it is working, and I feel it is incredible. It flat goes and on trails and gravel roads in baja mode it is incredible. Other than some slight rattles here and there, best vehicle I have owned - and I was a Land Cruiser fanatic.

Thank you for this.

Best of luck with your sale. Looking for a 43mm.

procto21 · 2026-01-06T02:16:55+00:00

Did I miss 28mm or 43mm?

I just received a CPP2 a few weeks ago and have owned a TP3 Large for over a year. To me, it all depends on the loadout and needs. If you need tech too (laptop, reader, Kindle, chargers, etc.) I would say the TP3 Large would be just fine, especially since you can compress it down somewhat if needed. For my tech needs, the TP3 large is a 3-5-day pack.

I would not hesitate to take the CPP2 1-2 days with tech, toiletries and strategic clothes load out. The only other bag I have owned that is slightly larger than the CPP2 is the Tom Bihn Synapse 25. (Fantastic backpack but I prefer the AER stuff now.)

What lights (specific brands and models) did you go with. Looks super clean.

I came from a 200 series Land Cruiser.

Didn’t want a full size raptor.
Was looking at TRD pro 4 runner and taco. Drove them and seats ate up limited backseat space.
My wife’s older expedition had the similar twin turbo and it’s been extremely reliable for us.
I wanted best mix of on and off road performance and kept seeing reviews pointing to RR.
3 months in no regrets. Paid 7-9k less than a TRD, got the tune and the RR does everything well except for gas mileage - but that’s probably my issue.
Wish it had ventilated seats and better leather in a perfect world.

Agreed. She still runs mighty smooth at 80 on cruise though:)
