I've used one (X-Jack) a couple times. I want to get one for myself but I would not consider it a replacement for a hi-lift. For changing a tire they are generally safer/faster/easier. But the Hi-lift is far more versatile for trail repairs and recovery.

I've never used one personally. But it seems the vehicle would fill the tent with exhaust upon departure and arrival.

20psi is still pretty firm in my experience with Generals. They will really start to work below 15. Not saying this trail needed it. Just an FYI. I ran mine as low as 12 on a heavier rig with never an issue. (Older red labels) but same tire carcass just different tread. I'm planning to get the...

I highly recommend those for anyone I sell a tent to. Even in our dry climate there can be a lot of moisture there in the morning. Especially colder nights. Adds some padding under the mattress too.

I've had a Autana Ruggedized now for about a year. It's been a solid tent so far. Couple minor issues but Tepui has sent out the parts N/C. Don't have a whole lot to add to the OP's review. Other than keeping two windows slightly open will prevent most condensation issues. Zipped up tight will...

Size is perfect for our family of three. The boy sleeps on a cot down in the annex if the wife is with us. If it's just the two of us the annex gets left at home.

Sorry, no. Side curtain air bags offer some serious design and liability challenges. No plans at this time to pursue.

I got one last month and used it on my most recent trip. Only grilled one night. For me the verdict is still out. I had a hard time getting it hot enough to sear my Ahi Tuna Steak. I had a number of factors working against me. Strong wind, 9600' elevation, and I choose a boutique "charcoal"...

Wrapping up breakfast this morning.

Out in Nature today to get firewood.

It's a numbers game too. How many Land Cruiser are on the road in the USA verse your Xterra or a 4Runner. 10/1? 20/1? Probably like 50/1 with the 200 series verse the 5th gen 4Runner. Trust me I feel the same as you but I know the reality. And continuing to maintain my 80 Series is going to be...

Support is required for only so long. But after that it comes down to economics. Toyota won't support anything if its not profitable. Warehousing countless widgets so that a handful of enthusiasts can continue to drive a 20+ year old vehicle just does not make money. The aftermarket will...

On my 3rd Cruiser. The 80 series is just the best do everything well rig out there. It will tackle just about any trail you'd consider taking a full bodied truck through and will do it with a large payload in comfort. It's very field serviceable. Most systems are designed to be rebuilt rather...

On the Corkscrew

About 40 miles due north of the homestead.

Really nothing special. But here hey are. (Stock photos) I've recently changed over to this kind of espresso maker for the truck but still use the GSI backpacking as it packs down smaller. The Fridge is by far the best piece of gear. Even my wife will say the same. It's been running in...
