    I do believe I found my next awning

    Been watching a slew of the Eezi Awn 270º Bat awnings. Have an email into Paul at Equip to see if these awnings attach the same way my Campinglabs one does with the two channels on the rear of it. I would have to take off my 4' Firestik antenna each time it is deployed, but that is easy thanks...

    Ideas for extending the crank-arm on a Maggiolina RTT.

    Glad you got your tent, looking forward to seeing pics of it. Sorry, no ideas on how to extend it, but I am sure there is a way.

    Self retracting awnings

    Does the Eezi Awn ones attach with the double channel side rail like Campinglabs, ARB, and most of the oversees copies? I have a Campinglab one, but would not mind upgrading. I also saw an awesome 270 a few weeks back which goes for around $1.4K PS, here is the 270 I saw, very cool.

    Chrome plastic trim around Maggiolina tents

    Thanks Frenchie, , going to order some of that along with Gorilla Glue. The latter we use here at work, it is great stuff. I have seen the green tents, and I like them. That would no doubt hide the moss that grows on mine :D I just need to take the rig to a coin-op carwash more during the rainy...

    Chrome plastic trim around Maggiolina tents

    I will check into that 3M stuff too Rich. I hardly even know my tent is on my FJ Cruiser unless there is an opposing strong headwind on the freeway. It handles very well for the tent on top, OME lift, and aggressive mud tires. I see more hard shell models coming on the market, but I have heard...

    Corey's 2007 FJ Cruiser built for expedtion/overland, & daily driver

    Doh! I had the top hooks in the middle handles, and they needed to be in the top handles. Problem rectified at work today. I could have sworn the instructions said to use the middle handles, but I goofed :D Now in the correct handles, and this will secure them maybe a little better, not really...

    Chrome plastic trim around Maggiolina tents

    Thanks Rich. This is what I have been using yearly along with my Porter Cable 6" random orbital. Meguiar's M5016 Marine/RV One Step Cleaner Wax - Liquid - 16 oz. Would the 3M be better, and does it contain wax, or would I still have to put on the Meguiars? I think also the AirLander was one...

    Maxtrax Installed 6-19-2016 I bought these back on September 9th 2013, and now just getting around to installing them :D It is covering my backup camera now though that is installed on my spare tires wheel cap. Oh well, do not really use the camera anyways, but I may end up trying to relocate...

    The Chuckbox

    I know this is an old thread of mine, but I am putting my chuckbox on a diet this weekend. It had been in the back of my FJ Cruiser since camping season yesteryear, and I took it out last Friday morning before I got my new rear ARB bumper installed. Talk about a heavy box! I have enough...

    Most popular stove's used in Overlanding

    I have been using a Campchef Denali since 2010. I think that model is now discontinued though. For regular camping being propane it works great. I also like the piezo starter on it, no need for matches or a spark starter. Also has a grill in between the two burners which is nice. If I ever had...

    I dig the Olympics, use to camp there a lot with my parents in the 60s and early 70s. Have not camped there since then, but it is one place I want to go to with my rig. Which area were you at?

    Corey's 2007 FJ Cruiser built for expedtion/overland, & daily driver

    Not far away Aaron. The 7" ARB Intensity LED lights and wiring harness are at John's shop, and the installation will take place July the 5th. Will have pics up of them that day, and probably a video a few days later on a totally dark stretch of road between the Auburn and Kent border on my way...

    Post pictures of your Roof Top Tent's Interiors

    I do not have any pics of the interior when out camping, these were in my parking spot at home. I use a heavy weight winter down comforter with flannel sheets. It is the same setup I use on my bed at home too, very comfortable. Two full size pillows also. This is a very comfortable setup, and I...

    Chrome plastic trim around Maggiolina tents

    Thanks Frenchie, being the resident Maggiolina expert I thought you might reply here. I might look for a roll of the stuff and use it in the future, and may pull the remainder off next weekend. I gave the rig a much needed bath today, and the top of the tent looked like a grass field with moss...

    Clone of ARB Intensity LED Driving Light/Light Force 250!

    I was pretty dead set on the new ARB Intensity LEDs in the 7" version, but I read the other day in the Gear issue of Overland Journal they actually prefer the Lightforce 215 which is a copy of the ARB one. Some advantages to the Lightforce 215 is when the lights are off a few of the LEDs remain...

    Chrome plastic trim around Maggiolina tents

    The upper shell on Maggiolina roof top tents such as my AirLander has plastic chrome like trim that has a groove in it that the lower edge of the upper lid fits into. Mine has always come out of it a bit, and today after washing the rig I noticed on the left side most of it is down. What is the...

    Experience of Sleeping in a RTT?

    My Maggiolina AirLander has been on my roof since the spring of 2008, and I find sleeping in it a lot of fun, and it is nice to not have to be constricted to a sleeping bag. I use a heavy weight winter down comforter along with flannel sheets, and two full size pillows, same setup as on my bed...

    Clone of ARB Intensity LED Driving Light/Light Force 250!

    http://www.unsealed4x4.com.au/rip-off-not-l-e-d-war-rocked-world/ From reading the article above, it seems Light Force did copy ARBs design. After doing much researching and seeing the 7" ARB spot and flood on Auburn Car Repair & Off-Roads Jeep, I am going with them, the ARB harness, and the...

    ARB Rear Bumper Installed 6-10-2016 Thanks dport! Phase III of a major mod, three Fridays in a row. After visiting with John at Auburn Car Repair & Off-Road last Friday when I got my body mount chop done, I decided to go for the ARB rear bumper. Also with ARB right down the road from John's...
