Actually it's a teleporter design we've been working on...I'll let you know how it works out if I ever get back :)

Yes as an option. The picture is actually Chaser #1 that went to the Arctic & back. It had several areas on the face where the powder coating had been blasted away by ice debris from Scott's rear tires! Here is another picture of the awning on the Chaser with the tent mounted for a bit more...

Okay, just to appease the rumor gods...yes it is true, we have been busy prototyping. We have adapted the stainless steel Horizon brackets which have proven reliable. They are mounted to the body via some stainless adapter brackets. Because the Chaser is lower, there is a 2 tier adjustment. The...

Sad news today in my e-mail: "It is with great regret that we announce the closing of Nth Degree Mobility. We have suffered a series of setbacks over the past 7 months that we have been unable to recover from, and so we have closed our doors as of last week. We apologize for every...

Welcome to the portal Sebastian. You've constructed an nice practical trailer there. Thanks for sharing the pictures from your trip. The Chilean coast is beautiful. I hope to visit one day soon.

Thought that those with ELT's would want to know about this FAASafety.gov - General Information 'Termination of 121.5 MHz Beacons for Satellite Alerting is Coming Soon' -- FAASafety.gov -------------------------------------------------------- Termination of 121.5 MHz Beacons for Satellite...

Just some empties so they can stock up for their base camps. It does impart quite the Gypsy look doesn't it?

THEY'RE OFF! The Feral Green Gang hit the road today after stopping off at AT for some final training on the finer points of axle, hub, brake and pivot rod maintenance for the Chaser trailer they will be towing throughout their surfing safari. Their planned first stop will be in/near San...

Dan, we too thought it was a good write up with valuable advice. Doug just gave me the list on Friday after returning from the Rubicon where he approached the trail with his trailer in tow through Wentworth, one of the more difficult routes. With a little editing, we are planning to include it...

Our friend Doug who tows his Chaser with a nicely modified Rubicon put together a list of things that he felt were relevant specifically to his towing experiences on difficult off camber rocky trails such as the Rubicon. Here are his notes: How to pull a trailer through the rocks BEFORE...

Ed, We loaned a trailer to a group of surfers doing a trip in Baja a couple of years ago. They swerved off the road to avoid an oncoming semi with their F250 towing a Horizon equipped with a lock and roll. They lost control and the trailer rolled over but the vehicle did not. They righted the...

I think you're spot on. They will help the market overall by creating awareness about the RTT concept and give people options based upon their pocket book. In the end, the heavy users will opt for the better built tent while the entry level models will serve a need. Interesting fact though...

They are exactly that. They all come from the same factory, they all use the same hardware. We have tested the Open Sky, Rooftop Tent and another sample, unbadged, directly from the factory. The platforms, hardware, ladders and covers are identical. The fabrics are different. They are all entry...

I just wanted to take the time to thank everybody on ExPo who answered the call. With your help, we were able to get parts sent and locate a garage in Bishkek that could read prints and make the repairs. Our friend should be back on the Silk Road in a couple of days, onwards to Beijing...

When we roll her out for ExPo Trophy 2008, we'll let you do just that.

Although that engine worked great in the Supra and Cressida and has been a popular swap with the mini truck crowd, I don't think it has enough umph to push a 55 down the road. They didn't nickname it the Pig for nothing, it's a heavy rig!

The 55 is very nostalgic for us too. Growing up in Ethiopia & Kenya in the early '70s, the vehicles to have were either the FJ55 or the LR109, and of course if you were a corrupt despot, you had a Range Rover. Scotty, our shop Mgr, has been around vintage LC & LR stuff so much of his life that I...

We are very fortunate to have been bequeathed a beautiful 1972 FJ 55 by our good friend Andrew. Not only is this beauty a restorers dream retro expo rig, she came with a tote bin full of new...yes new parts and a 3F EFI engine. Although she was hard to get started after sitting for 7 months in...

I have recently been using a Pit2Go www.pit2go.com It worked well on it's maiden voyage to Mojave Road, was easy to set up and more importantly, easy to clean.
