    Update: found a tall 3P tent; problem with Camptime Roll-a-Cot; need ideas

    I have Colfax 2p and 4p Tents. Love them because of the interior space and the rainfly can work as a sunshade. So far so good with leakage from the windows. The Nemo Wagontop, I love Nemo products and own a few but that tent is such an ugly color that I found it very off putting to be inside and...

    Opinion on which rig to pursue

    Once you get that jeep smoking the 80 will sit in the driveway. L.A. is such a great place to short excursion from, so many varieties of nature nearby. And a better PCH vehicle than the JKU with the top down does not exist.

    Opinion on which rig to pursue

    I just talked a friend of mine into getting a the big bear limited, only add on is the limited slip, that is all it really needs from the factory to be set up as an overlander. Wise purchase. I myself have a much older rig that I love, but if I was buying new today and wanted out the door, ready...

    Mitsubishi J54 Jeep Diesel Willys 58k miles 1 owner

    You say you are on your 11th Montero. Will this be your first JDM Pajero? I received my 91 JDM 2.5 a few weeks ago. It is an incredible vehicle, averaging 25mpg, as high as 28 on the highway at 100kmh/2750rpm. I am very interested in getting a Mitsu jeep. Do you have any plans to tow one behind...

    Advice for 4x4 van in Africa/Asia

    I am on a shoot in South America. When I get back I will put up some pics. I have it configured as a cinematography vehicle, I love the big center sunroof on the Pajero. Adding the Colfax p2 with just the rainfly as a sunshade is really a wonderful thing when shooting out of the vehicle. I can...

    Advice for 4x4 van in Africa/Asia

    The early Delica vans are all over the world, solid, economical,diesel, high/low transfer case, the best use of space in any vehicle made, can take 33 tires without a lift, look for one with the large center sunroof, or better, the 3" higher ceiling one without a sunroof, for this, get a fabric...

    Importing Cruisers

    I couldn't agree more. Buy the best you can with old imports. I waited and waited till I found low mileage, super clean in and out JDM vehicle. At first I felt I paid a bit too much, but after receiving it, and having a great mechanic go over it, who was flabbergasted that I paid, in his...
