I am new in that I have never owned one, but have read about them for a while. I also follow Boomer :) RE : CoG, not that I plan on rockcrawling but I wouldn't add anything on top short of light and thin solar panels. Heck I'd even consider ripping out upper storage inside too. Those new tops...

I see them pop up quite regularly on craigslist/marketplace at often reasonable prices, are they any good, what is there to know, are there better models than others, etc etc. I like how compact they are (for an RV) and prefer the fixed raised top (over a poptop) as one could spend time...

I thought I'd prefer tan but the green works great and the dents on the fender make it real! Maybe I missed it, what's the height inside the box as is? Very keen to see how you work that pop-top. Have you considered extending the box it over the cab? Seems like a "free" couple of feet there...

Many purists think the TJ and its I6 4L engine are the last real Jeep, the LJ being the rare variant (and desireable as it's a TJ with juuust a lil' more room), furthermore in Rubicon form AND stick shift. And to top it off, it's a one-owner (collector no less, which usually says a lot on...

Oh interesting, I'd never seen the Quicksilver! I see your point though, truck beds are tiny compared to trailers.

I've been browsing the forum for a bit, looking through the 400 pages of fullsizes ... and very few older Power Wagons (well, older of the newer variant, not the OG). What gives? On paper they seem perfect, are they that unreliable? I only recently noticed the '05s were dirt cheap, hoping a...

Ok, what am I missing? Feels like they are a great way to pack a lot of room in a small package underway. Are they flimsy? heavy? PITA to set up?

Oh how I wish I was in the market right now ...

There are Earthcruisers which are in between IMO (size wise, not price). Basing this off the E-Series would be a great way to cut cost, with its almost-flat-nose being a small compromise in terms of volume, and it's just an ubiquitous vehicle in North America. I feel a Sportsmobile with that...

So I stumbled upon the Astro based TigerGT, seems like a great way to maximize available space Looks to me like a clever layout that doesn't interfere too much in terms of driving, but I've never seen anything similar on an E-series base. Closest I've found is UJOR's with XP Camper cell Is...

Shooting from the hip and P&S camera, there's your combo. You can overcome the camera limitations to some degree, it will actually be a fantastic learning process. Start with lighting. I am aware that most picture taken between 11am and 3pm (roughly) will just be washed out and crap (to me)...

Thanks guys :) I believe that was 10 seconds. Maybe 15? Short enough to avoid star trails. :)

From the weekend I'm quite pleased with this last one :)

I was going to say "it's all because of the silly gigantor tires" ... then I saw the side shots.

So this thread seems to have established that snorkels : - may help with dust - may be a last resort with water deeper than anticipated - will make grumpy old men think you're a poseur So what's the downside, exactly? :snorkel:

First off, let me commend you for taking it slow. Too many people think they need all the most expensive gear and never learn how to use it. Your pics are soft as hell. I was about to say "well you're out of focus" when I saw the first pics. I'm not familiar with Nikon gear, so I can't comment...

Take the seats, leave the blingy wheels. Sounds alright.

ah! I read your report on adv and was "mmmh wait I've seen those pics before!" The night shots are great!
