Indeed. I like that one a lot.

Sorry to hear that news, antichrist. Kudos at least to LR for sending a form letter -- not all companies do that these days.

If your dealership is the one I drive past in Paducah on my regular trips between Saint Louis and Atlanta, it's a really nice looking shop. Pretty good sized place, too. Don

Love the idea, but time away would conspire against it. Now a "Great Divide" expedition, like the Land Rover one from the 80s, I might be in for! Don

One still sees the increasingly rare Trabi in Germany or a few other countries. They take a lot of love to keep from returning to the earth from whence they came, I think. I can't agree that they're cool though, Christian. Total junk for the most part, and not even charming junk IMO. If...

Not made to be pretty, but it does have a certain functional appeal.... from the link in the op:

As in here and others. Searching on ExPo is a downright pain. Near useless. I use Google as a site-specific search. Try something like this in the search window (without the quotes, of course): "Hutchinson Fuso FG site:www.expeditionportal.com/forum". That syntax forces those terms only...

That was a lot of fun to watch, and it looks like a great trip. Thanks for posting that! Don

The expeditions of Christopher Columbus certainly changed history.

I'm always a fan of separate switches. No doubt IMO they oughta be that way. It's often required by regulations that auxiliary fog/driving lights go out when high/main beam is activated. My 88XJ was compliant with this 'cause I upgraded original switch and relays. Other times I've not been...

X2 on this idea. Electronic rust prevention systems have been offered by a number of companies in Australia for decades. Here's one. From the standpoint of reduction/oxidation electrochemistry these sound appealing. I have no idea if they work in practice, but I'm a little doubtful or they'd...

Now *that's* funny!

That kinda looks like the "missing parts" and the key might just be found by someone bidding, dontcha wonder. There are some other interesting vehicles at auction, including these SRW Chevy 4WD service bodies. http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=5974036

Was the skin a separate layer bonded to the foam? What color was the foam? You're sure it was closed cell, yes? Was it elastic (spongy) foam, or did it crush if you compressed it?

I had a regular Little Giant ladder from Costco for a few days. It was priced well and made in USA was a plus. But... I took it back after playing with it for a day. Too inconvenient for its reach compared to a simple extension ladder. For low heights a stepladder would be a lot easier and...

My 1962 Triumph TR3B has a floor-mounted high beam switch, or main beam dip switch in little British car english. It's OK I guess, but they're so familiar I've never thought about it much. Over the years (now that I'm an old guy, I guess) I can remember *lots* of the cars our family owned with...

Great images. Nat Geo has been part of my life as long as I can remember. And a lot of the stuff over the years *is* remembered. Did anyone else have that odd "answer question to proceed" stuff show up between photos 8 and 9?

I probably see fifty or a hundred Sprinters in Europe for every Crafter. The Sprinter has been a terrific success in Europe, mainly (my German friends tell me) because it pioneered a new segment of a largish-capacity truck that was able to use the speed limits of traditionally smaller vans. I...

Boy... I'm getting old. I remember when the Peak 1 line was introduced. Old Coleman single-burners are terrific stoves. I still have -- and still use -- the Coleman stove and heat drum our family purchased circa 1969-70. Don

Nice camera. If only I hadn't pulled the trigger on a 5Dmkii a week or two ago! It'll make a great addition to someone's gear. Don
