    Toyota Finally bringing Prado to US

    For sure, I have a big soft spot for the 80-series in particular; but not a fan of the 100 and 200 series (and the GX-Series), too much luxo-bloat, even though I know their underpinnings are solid. I know the Prado's are typically built "lighter duty" than the "full size" LC's, they still have a...

    Toyota Finally bringing Prado to US

    Suprised at the fairly negative reactions that its a "watered down land cruiser" and "not worthy of the LC name". Its a Prado, sure, not a "full" land cruiser, but the luxo-bloat of the last couple generations I think this is back on the right track. This thing has me seriously thinking its...

    Low Profile Cell Booster Antenna

    Other option I’m considering: RFI 38” whip Antenna mounted to fender. Pros: good gain , especially in the 700MHz range. Cons: Fender mount means it isn’t fully above roof/partially blocked by cab of truck (reduced performance)...

    Low Profile Cell Booster Antenna

    I want low profile a) because i prefer the "stealth" look vs the obvious weBoost style antenna b) my truck is already really tall (Ram 2500 Power Wagon) so I dont really want an extra 12+ inches of antenna to wack every low branch. I could put it on the fender, but that does not offer as good...

    Low Profile Cell Booster Antenna

    Hi, Looking at getting a cell booster. Im likely going with the weBoost Drive Reach or SureCell Fusion2Go Max. The weBoost is a more popular kit but both seem to have good uplink and downlink power. But my question is what antenna. The weBoost OTR/Overland antenna offers decent gain in both the...

    Morale Patch Collecting

    Heard back from the artist, she does not own the rights to these the app owner (national geographic) does. Maybe I'll have to sharpen my pencil and see if I can design something similar without totally ripping off her work. I think something similar to these, pvc, maybe 1.5"x1.5" would be...

    Dual gas tank or extra gas in Rotopax or cans?

    Rotopax/jerry cans are nice because they are removable, and that makes it easy to a) use to fill someone else's tank, toys(atv/dirt bike), generators, etc, or b) remove entirely if you don't want to carry them with you every day and just for trips That said, playing Devils advocate now, it...

    Morale Patch Collecting

    I just stumbled on these logos this artist did for all of the NPS, they are awesome. I sent the artist an email seeing if they would be interested in selling patches of these. Raise your hand if you would buy some

    Bf Goodrich AT/ K02's or Goodyear Duratracks

    I looked at KO2s vs Duratracs, ended up getting the duratracs, since cost was about $50 less per tire. I also like the more aggressive looking sidewall (petty and stupid, but whatever). I have about 20k on them so far, pretty good. They do start getting noisy when it's time to rotate(~10k). I...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Rebuilt the dogs platform /rear seat delete. Old Rev0 version was just plywood with plywood supports, pretty much just a prototype to see how well it works out, how big the platform could be, etc. This one is steel frame with drop in plywood. I gained a bit more usable storage space under it in...

    Rotopax VS Jerry Cans

    Ok, now here's a question for those of you that have rotopax/jerry can /or other fuel container... How often do you ACTUALLY use it on your rig? Beyond filling auxiliary toys( atvs /dirt bikes /generator etc,) it seems to me having to actually use it on your rig is simply poor planning. With a...
