    Beach camping

    So we do both multiple times a year. Depending on your kids level of adventurousness I wouldn't rule out PINS for a 4 year old, my daughter has been going with us since she was two, for multiple day stays. The entrance to the National Seashore. Its another 11 miles from here to the Ranger...

    So motorcycle overlanding

    I used to ride the bike literally everywhere, sometimes the wife tagged along and definitely earned her iron butt. Since we've had kids, the bike has found a nice resting place in the back of the garage other than a rally or two every year. We have trailbikes and such, but I've seriously put...

    2001 Toyota Landcruiser AWD 4.7L V8 Auto SOLD

    That seems to be the going rate for that mileage. I looked at an 04 with 125 for 14,500 and an 04 with 77k for 24,000 in the last month.

    Houston and South IronPercheron #411

    We get down to SPI at least once a year, and hit Bolivar and on up the coast a few times. We usually get down to Corpus once or twice, sometimes more depending on my schedule. We lived in Houston for years, both in the Northwest near Klein, and later in the Southwest near Bellaire when I...

    Mountain biking

    I used to ride in Houston too, it is indeed NOT mountain biking, but a lot of fun. I rode every ride able inch of Memorial, Ant Hills, Jack brooks and the Huntsville National Forest. I guess Ant Hill is Terry Hershey now? Niner Air9 at Walnut Creek I still ride almost every day, but I ride my...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I spent a few hours breaking loose rusty exhaust bolts to discover that I had the wrong size gaskets in hand. So I had another beer, and planned a phone call to Beno.

    What makes the Land Cruiser so good?

    Personally I haven't run across anything that isn't available either new, the aftermarket, or readily available used. That's not to say it wont happen, just that it hasn't yet. Remember the US is no where near the main market for these vehicles, and they were sold for a longer period of time in...

    Mt. St. Helens & Mt. Rainier

    Great footage, but dude, your voice/music mixing was killing me. If i turned it up enough to hear you talk, the music blew me out of my chair. Nice video and photos just the same.

    What makes the Land Cruiser so good?

    The more time you spend with an 80 or 100, the more you realize just how good it really is. When you actually have to work on something, or even just pulling PM, you see how overbuilt everything is. It becomes crystal clear that this was and is as good as automotive engineering gets. I love my...

    FJ 80 Brakes

    Agreed, I am going with stainless on mine, but honestly, many times over its been proven that with well maintained rubber lines, the performance is the same. Im just showy like that.

    FJ 80 Brakes

    I principle I agree here, however in practice, were talking about a truck which is several thousand pounds heavier than the average automobile, so it automatically qualifies as a heavier duty application, the primary cause of brake fade is heat build up. The slots and/or holes are indeed to...

    FJ 80 Brakes

    Yeah I was looking at Power Stop with Ceramic Pads. I've heard good things about them. I just did OEM Rotors with Power Stop Ceramic Pads on my Wife's Enclave this weekend (also a very heavy vehicle with large diameter rotors) and the difference in pedal feel was significant. There is also a...

    FJ 80 Brakes

    Personally Im looking at good quality rotors, and ceramic pads next go round, which will be soon. Ive got 100 Series pads on now, but that just improves lifespan, not braking power.
