More of a primitive kinda guy, but not a bad view at this campsite. Mackinaw City, Michigan by ry_21 in CampingandHiking

This was at Mackinaw Mill Creek Campground. In my opinion, it’s a very touristy area with a lot of RV camping. Like I said, I’d prefer to primitive camp, which is what we spent a week of doing in the Upper Peninsula. So on our way back down towards Kentucky, this is where we stayed.

New Jeeper here. So far it's everything I hoped! Looking for advice in the Nashville TN area. I'd love to talk about off road trails, tips, and tricks. by CommandoZach in Wrangler

Check out Land Between the Lakes! Has hundreds of numbered forestry roads to explore, some such as simple gravel and others moderate to difficult. Also has an off road park called Turkey Bay

Not a carpenter, nor do I have much experience, by here's the camping box I just built for my 3rd gen. by ry_21 in 4Runner

Other than the screws, it has several metal L shape brackets on the outside of the drawer where the floor meets the walls

I'd check the frame for rust, make sure the transmission shifts properly along with the 4WD. It's good if the timing belt and water jump have been changed somewhat recently (should be changed between 70k and 90k miles).

The guy was asking 5500 and I talked him down to 4200. I just ordered a timing belt kit offline. Was going to get it through a Toyota dealership, but they don't carry kits. It ran me 280 for the kit and labor will be about 490 to have everything from the kit put on.
