    00' 4Runner Build/Trip Thread

    Do you have the micro USB connecting your phone directly to the remote? I'm going to pick one of those double-ended cords up to try and smooth the view from the phone. I think that will help. I flew it the other day in gusting wind and I was absolutely amazed at how it stabilized itself in...

    00' 4Runner Build/Trip Thread

    Thanks! I bought one and have been playing with it. Have you found any mode for filming to work particularly well for you on the trail?

    GMRS Midland USA MXT 400 Radio

    Is this a used unit for $275? Does that price include an antenna or other extras? I'm in the market for a GMRS and have priced them out, so I'm just wondering if something extra is included for that price. The radio is $199 direct from Midland, but I don't believe it has an antenna or...

    Lets talk navigation

    In addition to mobil apps, I run a Magellan TRX-7. The tablet itself is a somewhat slow Android, but I took it on a snowmobiling trip and mounted it to the handlebars. It performed VERY well, and had all of the trails in the Manistee, MI area, which really helped us. It had freezing rain and...

    Fridge Freezer Question

    There are actually 3 models ranging from about 35 liters to 40 to 54. Search Yunger or Yungering.

    Fridge Freezer Question

    The Costway is 54. ARB and snomaster make bigger and bigger models, as does Dometic. Some larger ones are dual zone.

    I love it when spammers strike...NOT!

    I just hit ignore on them and they disappear. Somebody in China must be bored.

    Recent news reports Hippos killing tourists

    When I was in South Africa a few years ago, they warned us and warned us about hippos. We were there 10 days and read of one death near the Limpopo River. They described most attacks, though, as happening at night. Typically, they said some guy would go out to take a whiz in the dark, and...

    Australia to the US, with my Rubicon...

    This just kills me seeing what our regulation/bureaucracy obsessed government agency has put you through. Are you still going to be in the states in October? If so, let me know. We've got a group of Jeeps heading to Moab and there are possibly extra seats and possibly a co-driving opportunity...

    ARB vs. Snomaster

    That's a bummer. When I was considering an ARB, their guy went on and on about how good their support is. Sounds like they need to step it up. How long have you had it? Btw, Dometic makes the ARB. Maybe their CS is better? I think CS is VERY important, because these types of things are...

    ARB vs. Snomaster

    I like their steel models, too. They were just larger than I wanted. However, this LS35 has the same compressor as larger units, so it cools off surprisingly quickly. They have developed a cover for this one, and I'm supposed to have it within a month or so. One interesting thing is that...

    ARB vs. Snomaster

    I've had it now for about a week, and it is GREAT! I had a 12 hour day last week where it ran in the back of the Jeep. It was over 90 degrees, and the top/doors were on, so the Jeep was really hot inside. When I got to the Jeep, I grabbed a nice 33 degree lemonade and the Jeep started right...

    Hello From Danville, Indiana!

    Hey, not all the Jeeps going on our trip are Rubis. We've got a bone stock, street tired JKU, a stock JKU Sahara with 32" Duratracs as the only mod, a JKU Sahara that is putting on a 2" lift and maybe 32's or 33's before the trip, and two Rubis with lifts, 35's, and winches. My JK Rubi might...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Ok, so the next step, after cleaning and wire brushing, was to put a thick coat of marine grease all over the innards, and put it back together. After some work to get it lined up correctly, tonight I put the motor back on, plugged it in, started it up and......It reconnected! She is now...

    Fridge Freezer Question

    Since the Smittybilt has a Danfoss compressor, I wonder what is failing? Or is the Danfoss compressor not what it used to be? I'd be interested to see long term feedback on them. Maybe they aren't as well protected from vibration and dust as other brands?

    Fridge Freezer Question

    Can't wait to hear updates on how this fridge does! Crank that sucker down as low as it will go and let us know how cold it gets. For $320 bucks, and if it works well, this one should win a medal. After living with my Snomaster for just a few days, my wife has come to love it and wants another...

    Overland Bound Emblems!

    Since I'm usually the slow guy on the highway, I decided to put it below the driver side tail light. Hopefully it will catch somebody's eye there!
