    Using Dometic Go Hydration Water faucet with other containers

    the hose came from my hose stash, more than likely. Water doesn't leak around the entrance hole to the jug, and I don't get how that'd happen in the first place. The tube pulls water out, then spits it out of the pump. Are you asking if some water sneaks out of the bump then slide down the...

    How many of you ACTUALLY overland with your 80s or 60s

    Still wheeling the old gal, nothing has changed except a new furry companion. He's new to me as of 1.5 years no, and has been an awesome companion. Beastie the 80 is where he prefers to nap when I'm tinkering on the driveway.

    Rooftop tent question

    My Autohome Columbus is probably approaching 20yrs old by now, and it's been with me for the last 12 years, I think. I don't have a garage with 9' door so it lives full time on the landcruiser outside. No leaks, no issues, no mold, etc because I dry it out after an extended trip or if I had to...

    Radiator-type heater from propane hot water heater?

    There are some interesting thoughts to ponder here, and here are some of my thoughts. When I used to sleep in my 80 during the colder months, I'd just turn on the engine, warm up the cabin then crawl out from the bag. I didn't actually "hang" out in the 80. Fast forward many moons, and I now...

    Kamparoo Transcontinental rear-fold (new build)

    LOL, the mighty 1HZ is a loud clacker but she's uber reliable though. If you ever want to see my spare tire improvement/mod thing, let me know. You can barely make it out in one of the pictures I posted previously, along with the ATV winch for opening/closing the top. Another improvement I...

    Kamparoo Transcontinental rear-fold (new build)

    I was curious about what leaf springs they're using and I see that slipper style of springs are still being used. Very cool! They're noisy but they work very well. I was hoping to see an improved design of the spare tire but it's still the same from the old days. I can't quite tell from this...

    Lexus GX550 Overtrail vs. Grenadier or new Toyota Land Cruiser?

    I'm quite content with the two, high mileage rigs I own but I'm very curious about the Gren, strictly from a knowledge base point of view. They seem to be a well thought out platform.

    Lexus GX550 Overtrail vs. Grenadier or new Toyota Land Cruiser?

    Nah, OE ain't my jam. I'll wait to see the Gren on dirt, like how it's marketed [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G981U using Tapatalk

    5 lbs propane tank inside of vehicle

    I carry a 6lb worthington alum propane tank inside for several years but I don't sleep in the 80, rather on top in the RTT. I also carry, GASP, a 5g NATO fuel can inside for special times. https://powertank.com/products/cyl-pp06

    Lexus GX550 Overtrail vs. Grenadier or new Toyota Land Cruiser?

    This has been an interesting read why my coffee is being made at the office. I haven't seen a Gren in my neck of the woods but it'd be cool to run into one or to wheel a trail with in UT just for some understanding of the platform.
