    Security cameras for overland vehicles

    This is the closest device I've found - https://larryalert.com/ I saw it at the Overland Expo West earlier this year. I picked up one but I haven't really used it enough to comment on how well it works. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    1947 Teardrop: can I lift it for better clearance?

    If your teardrop suspension is like that on my '47 Kit Sportsman you'll want to replace everything with a modern setup with much more travel. The Kit teardrops used square tube axels, one inside the other, separated by round rubber cord. They only have a few inches of suspension travel and...

    Flip Pac Lid Alignment

    I popped the lid open and reclosed pulling the the right side down first. That moved it back over to the right a little. It will probably be a few weeks before I get back to it. I'll post what I find out.

    Anyone Expo a regular cab Toyota 4x4 ??

    Driving the Pinzgauer has certainly taught me patience on the road so the lack of power with the Tacoma was not hard to get use to. The Tacoma seems down right luxurious in comparison with a solid roof, roll up windows, air conditioning, and power steering, especially off road. Neither vehicle...

    Flip Pac Lid Alignment

    All, I've had my AT Flip Pac for about 3 years now and for the most part I'm very happy with it. Recently, I noticed that the lid is shifting to the left in the back making it difficult to latch it down. I thought there was some earlier posts on this problem but I haven't been able to locate...

    Anyone Expo a regular cab Toyota 4x4 ??

    I'm late replying to this thread. I have an '04 standard cab Tacoma 4X4 that has been "expoed". I got the truck 3 years ago with just 11k miles and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. It has a rear swing gate with the spare tire mount and holders for 2 fuel or water cans from Demello...

    inReach Moving Maps

    After spending some time on the phone with Delorme tech support and doing further research on the related blogs I was able to determine that the inReach is working OK and that the problem is a bug with either the Earthmate app or with IOS. There is some kind of memory bug that manifests itself...

    inReach Moving Maps

    I left it outside turned on with a clear view of the sky for a couple of hours with no improvement in the GPS accuracy. I put it in the car without turning it off and went for a short drive. It didn't lose the GPS but the accuracy decreased to +-700-800' and the map updates were only sporadic...

    inReach Moving Maps

    It acquires a GPS position as long as I'm not moving. When I try it in the car with the unit under a steeply racked windshield it will update on the map a couple of times then display that it's acquiring GPS. Standing still, the best accuracy is +- 224'. Even my ancient hand held GPS will...

    inReach Moving Maps

    I used my REI dividend to get an inReach unit to use with my iPhone and iPad. After registering the unit everything seems to be.working OK except the GPS function in the Earthmate application. Occasionally I'll get a GPS position but most of the time it just indicates "Acquiring GPS" at the...

    Pop up Camper run

    I'm not going to be able to make the DV Pop Top run. I'm behind on Spring time tasks around the house and it turns out that I'll be tied up with other commitments next weekend leaving little time to prepare for the trip. Hopefully the Pop Top run will go well and lead to others in the...

    School me on the 2004 Toyota Tacoma...

    No factory rails like the 2nd generation Tacomas but there are plenty of after market options.
