    You can never have too much Recovery Gear!

    Today I was out in Anza Borrego with SoCal TTORA, and we just happened to come across these 3 Ford guys out in the middle of nowhere - literally. We were on the open BLM land, not on a trail, and just happened across these guys in the open desert. There was a late model Exploder (bone stock...

    60-series cargo mat?

    I want to put down a mat in the cargo area of my FJ62. I bought a generic one from Kragen that said it should fit all types of SUVs - Land Cruisers included, but it's still too small... So I'm wondering if any late model Toyota SUVs would have a rear cargo area that's nearly the same size...

    Identify these wheels?

    I saw these wheels on the 2010 Toyota 4Runner race vehicle today at the San Diego Auto Show. They would look SICK on my Land Cruiser. What are they?

    Another PowerTank opinion

    I've determined that my 20# PowerTank is too big to be practical on the trail. That thing kicks butt for use in the garage, but I definitely need a smaller one to put on the rig. So... I'm just going to buy another tank, and swap the regulator back and forth. Would you go with 5#, 10#, or 15# ?

    RAM MOUNT Suction Mount

    Does anyone have any experiences with the suction cup mounts from RAM MOUNT? I'm trying to figure out the best way to mount my GPS (Garmin 60CSx) in my FJ62. I've tried 3 different mounts already, that have all ultimately failed. The shape and contours of the FJ62 dash make it hard to mount the...

    Some guys on Custom Tacos got a Group Buy together for a run of the URD Crank Shaft Pullies. Gadget says that this will be the last EVER run of these Crank Pullies. This is one of the things I've had on my to-do list FOREVER, and never got around to it. So if you're like me - this will be your...

    The Dish Washing Thread

    Right before I left for Afghanistan, my wife and I went out on a solo 4 1/2 day backcountry trip out in the Anza Borrego desert. This was the longest trip I've been on with my wife. I think we cooked a total of 7 meals that required washing dishes. Also, in an effort to minimize trash this was...

    SPOT for dummies

    I have spent the last 3 days & nights exploring Anza Borrego with my wife. I had my SPOT going pretty much the entire time... ...Now - the tracking feature I've got down pat. That seems to be working fine. Over the course of the last 72 hours, I (thought I) sent about 6 "OK" messages. I just...

    How do you sport your SPOT?

    I got my SPOT Satellite Messenger for Christmas, and I started wondering where I would put it while out in the backcountry. My SPOT always stays in my truck. I always carry it in my G.E.A.R. Seat Seat cover, but that isn't exactly the most optimum place for it to transmit from... A quick trip...

    Deaver Springs - Santa Ana, CA

    Well . . . I went up to Deaver today . . . I really have to eat some humble pie here, and take back every bad thing I've ever said about Deaver! I've always thought that their springs were too soft, and inadequate. There was a post on another forum recently that said no matter what rear...
