    We are just a bit north in Tn and we were thinking about heading down there possibly this afternoon. Does any one know what the current status is? Probably camp overnight if open.

    Oztent Owners, How do you transport?

    I have been using the rv4 for over a decade. Unless you have a long bed full size truck it will go on the roof rack. Racks that have an elevated cage will most likely be to short forcing a diagonal load which kills rack space badly. Standard Yakima bars or a flat platform are the best solutions...

    Anyone using Toyota 4 cylinder motors?

    Proven motor. Just don't expect to lead a caravan on the road portion. My 96 taco with 4.88 gears and 33" tires get over 20 mpg on the highway and has plenty of grunt for the trails.

    macgyver fixes

    My worst was in baja. My buddy had just installed a prototype suspension on his new fullsize chevy. About 6000 miles into this trip the vertical bolt on the upper control arm broke off as well as part of the bearing flange. Anyway. We had the head of the bolt and we were lucky enough to scrounge...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Last thing I bought was 2 weeks ago. Adjustable front and rear trac bars and adjustable upper and lower rear control arms for my 80. I might need a new double cardin drive shaft for the bow, but I won't know until I get all this installed and aligned.

    Colorado Built FZJ80

    Nice truck. I have been working on the Slinky project for along time and still trying to get it finished. Many delays I just hope in the end it is worth it. Any pics of her back side?

    LX450 80 series build thread

    Nice rig. Keep an eye on those yakima towers. Plastic tends to get weak after several years of sun exposure. I have broken a few with heavy loads before.

    What got you started overlanding/offroading?

    I have always been into the outdoors and camping. I guess it really started in canoes. I never did get the whole whitewater lets go sit at one spot and surf the wave all day mentality. I wanted to explore waterways and camping was just a natural part of that. As my range increased in my early...
