Yeah, seems like he probably could have put two gas cans together on the back and put the always-warm water on the side rack.Quote:

And are we safe to assume he did the Bro Payment Plan??? https://rnofitfabrication.com/bro-payment-plan
We have that same body style RAV4. A ladder to reach the roof is idiotic unless you're planning to climb up and stand on the roof for some reason.
If you need to reach anything higher on the roof, just stand on the rear tire, or open a rear door and stand on the door jamb.
Applies to 95% of all vehicles on the road, except maybe vans.Quote:

One should little worry about such trivial things while leisurely taking on the Baja or the beaches of Morocco. The highway time is minimal when such undertakings are in order. And when one is forced onto the tarmac, driving at 45 mph is a great way to take in the countryside.Quote:

Of course, one would not scuff one's white loafers doing such pedestrian tasks.Quote:

Nice! That’s kinda like the ones I got they’re a collab with Wild Earth, Southern Metal, Redback Boots and Old Man Emu that were developed for the harsh conditions of Ayer’s Rock but have since been tested worldwide.Quote:

Holy fuck that is a lot of gas cans. (New)FJ guys have a pretty high douchebag ratio. The prices those things are getting are way beyond standard Toyota tax.

I think that's 8 gallons of extra gas. You guys must be going somewhere really remote on that ferry!Quote:

The roads north of Fairbanks can put you away from gas stations, especially outside of business hours. Or parts of the AlCan - use to be anyway. That rig is suspiciously clean, tho.Quote:
