on a UK site SplitCharge.co.uk I don't think the price is very interesting for you in the US, things are much cheaper there than in Europe in general..

found a Redarc BCDC charger, the 40 Amp one, on sale,.. could not resist. I have a VSR at the moment, works well but I need to add solar for longer stays, so 100W solar panels are next.

if you buy used go for the petrol. Will you do may miles , long trips ? if so you will get a significant better fuel economy in diesel if fuel price is a factor. In europe we have mostly diesels, so I know a lot about them. But I can tell you the models, after 2009 , because of the...

got back from the holiday, but barely .. The EGR valve got cloged up, now, when I was on holiday, with no sign of fault in the 20k km I did before .. god sometimes diesels are such a PITA ... So basically 100 km from the border with EU was impossible to get any parts for a Landcruiser...

I got back from the holiday, but bearly .. The EGR valve got clooged up, now, when I was on holiday, with no sign of fault in the 20k km I did before .. Simptoms.. increased fuel consumption at first ( in Albania I reached 14l/100 km) and than a big loss of power Basically I was able to reach...

a few more pics from Macedonia typical road there Next on to the border. with Albania. We wanted to take the scenic road towards the border, crossing the Galichica National park. It is a gorgeous road, right up there with the best ones in the Italian or Austrian Alps. Will post pics after...

A Hard-shell tent you can leave on indefinitely. I live in Belgium, Brussels in an apartment, I have no garage. The Landcruiser is parked on the street with the RTT on as a permanent fixture and in Brussels it rains significantly 220 days /year on average. I have some antitheft bolts on...

Protection. It has factory engine skid plate but is very weak, so I bought a proper engine skid plate 4mm steel. Also some rock sliders are foreseen, but not yet, no time before the trip. Suspension Enemy number one of any over landing setup is weight. With my setup I try to stay...

very nice, I was very close to buy one of these but discouraged a bit by the lack of aftermarket parts to customize it . It is double but a bit more difficult. Good luck with the build :)

Well you have the nice V8 sound. Most 4x4 in europe are diesel, and I drove a lot of them, but this 3.0 seems to be setup specifically for off road, it is hard to explain the ease of control you have in difficult terrain where you have to crawl...you have to drive one. Otherwise is not...

Welcome, I have the same vehicle, but the 3.0 diesel version and I love it. In Europe is called Landcruiser Prado. Very capable for what it is. :)

If you are not bored to death already, part 2 .. So since I did not trust my electrical skills so much, I bought one of those portable power packs, with the intention to charge it via the 12 V socket present on all cars. I went for a Suoaki 400 Wh that also had a 300 W inverter and was...

Hello, I live in Brussels and I am an IT guy by trade, married with 1 kid . I want to present the work I did on the car, maybe someone has similar goals/expectations and can learn from my mistakes and experience. So the story started in August 2018, when I bought the car, with 294.000 km...

3 years ago I was in mountain resort with the family and we wanted to take a cable car to the top, but it was broken. A guy there was offering an off road tour towards the same location, but in a 4x4 and almost the same price. So we took it , he had an old beaten up Hyundai...

The dealer where I went is below, is not the one you mentioned but close enough. https://topdaktenten.nl You can even setup an appointment with him during the week-ends and he will be there showing you and explaining everything. All of us sleep side by side, I am quite big, 1.82 cm at 105...

Thank you. So basically I bought the widest hard-shell RTT I could find. It is an Autohome Columbus and on the inside is 165 cm wide, so a queen size bed . It is fine for us. But most of the so called 3 people tents on the market are 140 cm. I can honestly say we have no trouble...
