    Overland Journal: G-Wagen

    I am working on the G-Class in preparation for Overland Expo West. New Hutchinson wheels. The guys at Mastodon have a fair price on them and can get the civilian and military offset I am also installing a slightly more powerful winch with both a wired and wireless remote. As a result, I am...

    It depends on the rack manufacture. Typically, a G rack will be wider

    Overland Journal: G-Wagen

    Here is my storage / camping gear. I use the drawer system and then all soft dry bags (from Enduristan) that I lash down with Quickie Tiedowns.

    Overland Journal: G-Wagen

    I was really surprised by how well the G took the roof load, even in the more spirited driving on 89a. It is a standard Columbus, not the carbon. It is the unit we used for the Overland Journal RTT test. I really like the tent. I was expecting to be indifferent, but it was one of the best...

    Overland Journal: G-Wagen

    Just had a nice little camping trip with the G-Wagen. I am not a fan of heavy roof loads, but I wanted to try the lightest hard shell possible. Must say it was pretty dang comfy and easy to access via the little ladder on the back. The weight was ok on the trail and the road. Going to try a few...

    Land Cruiser converts, please weigh in on your post-conversion thoughts

    I have spent a ton of time in both and have owned both- they are more similar than different. In the end, the G-Wagen is a better quality vehicle and the Land Cruiser is a more reliable one. The materials, fit and finish on the G is simply superior, but the systems on the Land Cruiser will prove...

    US Citizen with Australian Registered Vehicle?

    It is quite easy. I drove a Land Cruiser around the world that we had registered in Australia. You need an AU address and will need to obtain insurance as a visitor

    2017 TRD Pro Tacoma

    It might rub a little at full lock, but it would be minor. No more trimming and adjustment than would be required with a typical coil over kit. 255/85 R16 ST MAXX would be perfect

    2017 TRD Pro Tacoma

    I think the Pro works best for the buyer that wants a stock solution and a long warranty period. You can easily fit 33" tires stock. Install some sliders and you would have a killer truck with an extended warranty. I agree that it might not pencil for all enthusiasts, particularly those planning...

    2017 TRD Pro Tacoma

    It is the way the iPhone orients the image. Unfortunately, it is only an iPhone problem and it happens to most images shot with the phone.

    2017 TRD Pro Tacoma

    The 4.0L is a great engine. One of the more noticeable advantages of the 3.5L is the new 6-speed automatic transmission. It keeps the motor in the meat of the power band for more of the acceleration cycle, so this truck really does feel strong. I still cannot believe the fuel economy in stock...

    G Wagen rust?

    I had some rust develop on the bottom of the B pillar. Fortunately, Mercedes is aware of the issue and sell a precut panel to replace the affected area. Have not found any other problem spots.
