    LC deck plate for storage

    So I've got a 120 series / GX470 and I'm looking to make a deck plate for the rear cargo area. The intent is to secure my ARB fridge mostly and have a way to secure cargo. The catch is, I'd like to be able to quickly remove the fridge and throw the seats down. Currently, both seats are in but...

    Anyone have any experience with Patriot Campers out of Australia

    I've emailed them twice directly through their website and have gotten no response. I'd like to at least talk to them as both the wife and I are very interested in one of these. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    What is your favorite belt?

    I've got three wilderness belts (different colors). The one I wear most often is their titanium buckle w black webbing. The titanium is non ferrous so no taking it off when traveling or any other security point with metal detectors. The generous Velcro allows for adjustment for wether or not I...

    Overland Expo West 2015

    I was not there the entire weekend. I postponed my Saturday trip to Sunday. The wife had a big influence on this as we decided to bring my 4 year old. It was great. She was happy which allowed me to talk to a ton of people and share stories about our travels. My boy had a blast and was upset...

    HAM study guide

    I used the guides from KB6NU for both my tech and general. They're great and easy to follow. I read the tech in 1 night and the gen in two. Good luck Sent from a currently soggy secret desert location

    M.O.A.B trailer vs. Turtleback trailer

    Right off the bat I'd say the Moab is a much better looking trailer. It looks planned out as opposed to boxes bolted to boxes. However I do like that the turtleback has an inyati coating. I had that on top my tool boxes of my service truck. That stuff is durable. They have comparable...

    To keep the bike or sell it... That is the question

    It's what your after. Those super motos are not designed to be run for long periods. They're tons of fun as you stated. If you think you want a true dual sport, I'd recommend a BMW 650 GS. You can pick them up fairly cheap and it will help you decide if that's the route you want to pursue...

    Time for new tires<

    I just recently read the A/T tire test on expo portal main page. The BFG faired to be the last place finisher of the tires they tested. Cooper and Toyos finished very well. Might take a quick ten min read. I've run Toyos in the past and was very happy with them. My current BFGs are a tad...

    Moab Fort XL

    I've rented the model they made for tepui this coming memorial weekend after I spent a good 1-1/2 hours talking to Rick, one of the owners, and was very impressed. My brother in-law used one of their earlier models and raved about it and that got me interested it one. They're built on site...

    Solution for glare from roof lights?

    What about a small strip of sheet metal on the bottom side of the light bar to reduce the amount of light falling down yet allowing the light to project forward. I would think that a 1/2" or should be sufficient.
