    My Land Cruiser Builds and Some Camper stuff

    I have never had an issue with the stock parking brake on any of the three FJ40's I have owned. Pretty sure the one on my truck is OEM and havent had to do anything in the 6 years I have owned it

    Portable Toilets? Why's and Why Nots!

    This is the setup I use and I do also use the tent for showering. The seat packs up into the backback and the tent packs up as well and goes together as shown in the pic below. One year I put it into a waterproof gear bag and strapped it to the roof rack...

    Portable Toilets? Why's and Why Nots!

    I use the PETT Toilet system and have had it for over 10 years with no issue. Easy to use and compacts up small even the tent for easy storage in the truck. With a trasharoo, the waste is on the outside. It doesnt smell based on the chemicals (powders) they use. You never have to worry about...

    My Land Cruiser Builds and Some Camper stuff

    Many of you probably know me from Expo Portal or IH8MUD (Toyota site) as Romer. I have been around a while which comes with being old (late 50's) :) Once my daughters grew up my toy budget increased significantly. They both also drive Land Cruisers and you may often see a caravan of 3 built...

    Thanks for posting. I just bought one of these. This is the best review I have seen for this tent. I am still glad I bought it after watching. I do keep mine in the garage and off the truck in the winter so I hopefully wont have the finish issue you do

    Best mobile air compressor unit for Overland travel?

I have been in the offroad community a long time as well and would tell you Slee, Cruiser Outfitters and others would disagree with you. I am not saying you didnt have a bad one, but I know a lot of people who have them and...

    Mr Buddy Heater Yes/No

    I have a Mr Buddy I use in my RTT when it gets cold. I warm up the tent and then get situated in my sleeping bag and shut it off. In the AM I fire it up before I get out of the bag. It doesnt have a real low setting and it will get real warm if you run it all night and the fuel lasts about 6...

    Roofnest Falcon

    Thanks for the video, watched it a few times. Have you looked at adding a power socket (usb) inside? Thinking drilling and bonding and Anderson plug on the bottom would be the way to go Also curious on how comfy the "comfy" mattress is. The Eezi-awn is thicker, but then again taller and...
