    Awning with side panels/nets

    So I bought a demo at a very good price. It's a 2.5m side awning with the "foxwing" that covers the back, sonlarger than a foxwing that has only triangular panels. Requires posts at each corner and set up with two people but for my use it should be good. Going on a 3000miles trip end of June...

    Hi, first post here. Having three young kids, we are not yet to the RTT type of overlanding, we want to start by keeping hotel sleep with vehicle food prep/eating. I'm looking for an awning that has or can have sides/netting around. We are going for 2 weeks around northern...

    Advice needed for new 2010 Taco conguration

    the air bags will work with any front bumper, there is not a single sensor in the bumper, and the airbags are activated by rate of deceleration. it's bullcrap saying that a front bumper would be airbag compatible or not! you can add a bullbar, run without a bumper or a full steel bumper, or...

    Allpro Plate Bumper Install on 05+ Tacoma

    nice write up, now wheel a lot and it will rub your metal under the headlights, and probably pop your fender flares too... I've cut a notch in my bumper to clear the fender flares, but it rubs under the headlights, which IMO is a very bad design that could've been fixed easily.

    tacoma vs 4runner for expo rig

    I prefer a tacoma. with double cab I get quite a lot of inside space for gear and /temp controlled" area. And in the back I can throw everything and sleep in there. Main down side is the length/wheelbase.

    The Lens Thread!

    Same here, I mostly use my 18-200 for convenience. I'd love to have a 70-200 F2.8 but $ is tight. I also carry the 50 1.8 and a Sigma 10-20. the 10-20 gets used more and more now as the picture quality is better than the 18-200. and around 12 it makes awesome landscape pictures.

    Dual Battery System Management Recommendations?

    I will ask him more details, he's not online so I can't get him here. Basically it worked fine and I was jealous, then it stopped working and killed his second battery twice. He think it might be because it was mounted sideways, it is "better" to mount vertically but nothing says not to put it...

    Dual Battery System Management Recommendations?

    I'm currently setting up my system and I think I'll use perfect switch. as it doe snot dissipate any heat, the hellroaring has that huge heat sink so somewhere it has to loose heat (so power) I might be the only one that gives a negative vote to National Luna, but a guy in the club had one in...

    ThinkTank Hydrophobia Rain Cover Released

    I would say the thinktank is better constructed, they always over-engineer their products. The thing is that kata had it years before. I've had huge splashes on the sailboat and it handled fine, although salt water drying on the lens was a real pain to clean... you can even see some on the...

    New Yaesu FTM-350R

    Aside from the hang-up issue some are experiencing, this product is awesome. Expensive but APRS it itself is worth quite a lot. You can plug your radio/ipod and it will mute/lower the volume when someone talks on the other band. 2M/70cm and also 220MHz (1W only)...
