I've been watching this one closely and I followed your F700. I really like your work, it is inspiring. My eventual goals are to take a crew cab International 7500 (Workstar) with an DEF N10 I6, 4x4, lockers, PTO winch, super singles, and a flat bed, and eventually have a 16-20' RV...

IIRC correctly those are also used as SCUD launcher platforms too. I heard that the starting process for the engine is a bit complicated. I think it involves heating the cylinders like a glow plug system, but then using a pressure system to push the pistons down to start it up, kind of like a...

I don't know if I've ever seen a thread with this kind of response on these forums. I'm sure they exist, but I don't visit as often as a should. I was looking at the Rock Auto website just at Toyota stuff in brake calipers. It's all weird reman and off brand stuff. It looks like the harbor...

Thought I'da chime in here again. I've gotten about 9000 miles on in 9 months. It's generally my daily driver. I did run into a little mishap out in the middle of nowhere (not mechanical, topographical, damn arroyos), with no cell signal, and I had to walk out of a national forest to a town...

This might be the ugliest taco I've ever seen. I love it! It looks like it was created by the Japanese in 1989 to invade Africa. It's very retro looking. The monotone paint, the graphics, the beige cover... A lot of work went into this thing. Hope it lasts a long time. Definitely one of a...

I don't know about the 3rd gen 4runners, IIRC that 3.4L V6 is a dog. Might be reliable, but it's got less than 200 hp, which is kind of a bummer when hauling gear, towing, existing on a highway, or what have you. If we're talking forth and fifth generation 4runners, you know stuff that was...

Didn't they just get a recall placed on them?

I had a mega warrior back in the early 2000's, i hated that thing. More is not always better. It was heavy, didnt like to stay put with the yakima cross bar, and rusted rather quickly. I do actually have a pic lying around of it on my old exploder. I'm sure the same qualities are true...

Using a cargo net sounds like a really good idea. I actually forgot about those. Now that I'm in the desert a cargo net could probably come in handy for most loads.

That's really cool. Glad to see i wasn't the only one with this idea. Those marine plastic tanks are okay, but the metal tanks pretty much last forever and are repairable.

Glad to see some GS/A owners. (and a couple of KTMs) The fuel range is my probably favorite thing about my Adventure. I rode from El Paso to Ruidoso, NM and back yesterday on one tank. The only annoying thing is trying to keep it under 25 mph in Downtown Ruidoso. I went look at the remains...

I forgot about youtube now having better explainations than google now sometimes. The first video with the racing square cans is cool. Seem like as long as can get a seal it should work.

They are terrible bikes to some. It's almost the wrong mix of modern and archaic technology. Boxer engines practically from the 20's combined with modern materials and electronics. They are not just heavy but also top heavy and enjoy falling over. ABS system is difficult to work with at...

Probably just really good mpg, it is a thumper after all.

I would probably wear something with a bit less stigma than panty hose. Probably Permethrin sprayed compression heatgear ala underarmour or the decent and cheaper competitors from Target or Academy or Ect.

Colorado is not the desert or the gulf coast. I'm happy to see solutions for the problems people have in the yellow to red zones. There are areas of this country and planet as a whole that are borderline intolerable in the summer vacation season, for gringos anyways. Take the Houston area...

I'm interested in discovering whether anyone here has worked on extending the fuel capacity of Inverter type generators. Specifically, I'm interested in extending the capacity of the Yamaha EF2000IS. Though I am also interested in the EU2000 or any other comparable generators. I'm wondering...

Do that, but with a sand rail full of foam, haha.

I have 35"s on my FJ and I hate them. Despite a 6" lift, cranking up the coilovers, chopping the body mount, and the mud flaps, they still rub in turns. Even tried alignment adjustments and wheel spacers. But thats not the reason i hate them. The real problem is: The poor mileage. Less...

We have those here, they are handy for to load with forklifts where there is no loading dock. We also have 18-wheeler dump trucks and in some municipalities or states they are required to cover their load, they use a similar material as a cover. Usually a UV resistant fiber reinforced vinyl...
