    06 100-series to 20 JLUR?

    I'm considering selling my '06 LX470 and buying a new JLUR. I've got about 153k miles on the cruiser. It seems like a stock Rubicon is about as or more capable that my built LX470 (slee front/rear + lift + 33s, winch, comms, etc). I don't do any serious wheeling, but I like being able to run...

    Cooper Discoverer - A Big Bend Tale

    Wading in the Rio Grande As I stood on a sand bar in the middle of the Rio Grande at the mouth of Santa Elena Canyon, I wondered exactly how far across I had to go to officially (or rather unofficially) be in Mexico. I had left my passport at home, but that was just a mere technicality. I...

    Portable HF Suggestions

    I'm thinking about trying out HF. I have an extra license but I've stuck to VHF/UHF until now. I'm thinking it would be cool to do some national park activations this year. I'm thinking about picking up an ft-450d and running it off of my second battery/solar. I'm not sure about the...

    Relay/Switch and Fusebox

    Hi, I think what I want to do is ok, but before I burn down my truck I thought I should check. This past weekend I installed an sPod in my 100-series. I was planning to use one of the switches to power my fridge. I liked the idea of being able to switch the power on or off from up front. But...

    Maui Jim Sunglasses

    I've got a pair of Maui Jim Banyan's for sale. I just sent them back to Maui Jim a few months ago for a full reconditioning and new lenses. I've worn them once since I got them back. They're in absolutely great condition - the lenses are perfect and it looks to me like Maui Jim replaced all...

    Group 34 vs Group 31 dual battery opinions

    I'm getting close to finally installing a dual-battery system in my 100-series and I could use some input. I currently have a group 27 optima yellow-top installed. Because I have (and want to keep) my ARB twin air compressor, which takes up the space where Slee's dual battery tray would go...

    IBS or National Luna

    Hi, I'm thinking about adding an aux battery to my 100-series. I've looked at both the National Luna and the IBS offerings. They both seem to do about the same thing as far as I can tell. Are there any reasons to choose one over the other? Thanks.

    Dallas to Overland Expo West '15

    My brother and I decided to take a road trip out to Overland Expo this year. We figured it would be a good opportunity to see a few sights like the Grand Canyon that we’d never visited before. We headed out to Flagstaff on Friday. It was a long drive from Dallas, but we got in around 7:30pm...

    LX470 Lift Opinions

    I'm finally ready to pull the trigger on a lift for my 06 LX470. I'm looking at a couple of different options. On one end is Slee's heavy kit with OME shocks and 2866 springs. On the other end of the spectrum is Just Differential's Icon stage 1 extended length kit with 2866 springs + UCA's...

    100-series rear bumper options

    My 06 LX470 got smacked while parked a few weeks ago. The rear bumper is toast. An aftermarket rear bumper has been on my list of planned upgrades, but not anything that I was planning to do soon. However, I've got a check from the insurance company and it doesn't seem to make much sense to...
