    Kodiak 4 Person Deluxe

    I have two Kodiaks for our Scout troop. Being in Utah where they're based helps as I can usually pick one up for $100-150 off directly from the source. We picked up both the 10x10 and 10x14 in the last two years. The only thing I have found that I like better on the Springbar tents over the...

    2010 GoPro HD Camera Review

    I just picked up a Gopro Helmit cam setup with the LCD screen at the Outdoor Retailers sow. $250 out the door was hard to pass up. Let the fun begin. What are you guys using to stitch timelapse photos together. Any freeware out there?

    Speed Graphic on the Mormon Trail

    Love the pictures. We did the Trek with 600 youth. All 4 nights we were at Martins Cove 60-80mph winds and rain came in right around dinner time. We lost over 100 tents to damage and shredding. The last night we sent over 300 kids and leaders to "the Barn" to sleep on the floor since there...

    1lb hammock!

    This hammock seems like the other dozen hammocks out there. I couldn't see anything about rain or bug protection. I love my Hennesy hammock. I've tied it to my roof rack on my cruiser and to a lonely cedar in the middle of nowhere and been perfectly protected from the nights thunderstorms and...

    Valve adjustment on fzj80?

    My old 93 with 280K+ miles never pinged on the 85-87 octane. My 97 loves the cheap stuff. Never met a gas station it didn't like. But I don't fill up when there's a tanker truck refilling the station. That's like the kiss of death.

    Nikon DSLR for a beginner

    I bought a used D90 with a cheap 18-55mm. I picked up a 50mm 1.8 as well. It's been really good to learn with. I would hate to only have the 50mm and you can pick up an 18-55 or a 55-200 for less than $100 each most days of the week. Upgrade your lens when you have the skill or $ needed to...

    Building the worlds best firestarter...

    I used to own a scented candle company (I know, really manly) and would use our floor scrapings and scrap wax for fire starters all the time. Instead of egg cartons you can use those little paper cups that people put nuts and stuff in at parties. Use the smallest ones you can find. Fill them...

    Has anyone seen the Grub Hub camp kitchen?

    Cool. Not available quite yet though. They are offering $50 off for early buys. Regular price is $295 minus the $50. I just got an email from Joe that they are on track for sales starting in July.

    my 80 series head gasket saga

    Keep the good vibes coming. I do everything I can to get good karma going. I spent the last week remodeling and tiling my great Aunts bathroom for free. The toilet was falling through the floor. Something about 35 yr old carpet in the bathroom! Scary. And I even talk nice to my chickens...

    my 80 series head gasket saga

    ALmost 1 month to the day of finishing the head gasket, the cruiser boiled over today!!! I was towing a small trailer with 2 yards of mulch from Lindon to Draper utah up on the hill. I had the overdrive off while towing. I dropped it into second going up the hill past Chevron up to Draper...

    Chicken Harvest - Film from last summer

    I'm going to use it as a power point presentation to my 5 chickens. These girls need to know what will happen to them if they stop laying eggs. I think they are plotting their great escape as I type.

    1964 FJ40 build up=Childhood dreams coming to life

    Fun. My 40 has been sitting for at least 8 years now. My 5 yr old keeps wanting to get it running. Maybe I should just tell him to wait until he's 15.

    Headgasket failed again

    My Autozone had the both the coolant pressure testing equipment and the test kit for checking on exhaust gas in your radiator. I ended up not sing either since I put a bore scope camera down the #6 cyclinder and saw a lake.

    my 80 series head gasket saga

    Good luck finishing up yours. I too need to still do the front main. I was going to do it while I was in there, but could not get the crank Bolt off without doing the traditional wrench to the frame/starter bump thing. I've got 50 miles on her now so I need to change the oil and the coolant...

    my 80 series head gasket saga

    Big thanks go out to Royal Rose from Wasatch Cruisers for comingto my rescue putting the 80 back together this weekend. I love royal because he is so much more detail oriented than I am. He came over friday night and we installed the head, exhaust and lower intake. We were out there until...

    my 80 series head gasket saga

    Wheelingnoob, glad to hear your still moving along on yours. Hopefully yours goes smoothly when your bolts come in. I'm going to double check my bolts today just to make sure there are no other surprises. I went by Cleggs machine this morning and had one of the younger guys come up to help...

    my 80 series head gasket saga

    Sorry Dave. The head bolt nut number is as you stated. The numbers I threw out there were for the heads on a 93 and a 97. In the end, the head and it's head bolt washers were gone and I was SOL today. I spent the day cutting down 5 large Poplar trees in the yard instead of working on the...

    my 80 series head gasket saga

    Does anyone know if a 93 head will work on a 97 motor? I may have a line on some head bolt nuts that will come with a fully rebuilt head with less than 3000 miles on it. ToyoDIY.com has the part numbers that are one digit off from each other for teh two different years. 69106 vs 69105. I'm...
