loading up for our trip to Alaska, ever wonder how you are going to get all your stuff in your truck??

BUT WHY??? I am looking for opinions and real life comparisons!! :beer: I can understand some of the "electronic" issues. I struggled with the push button 4x4 and the auto on my Land Cruiser. Now, I don't think I would give up either (well the push button could go, but I love the auto) I...

I am also interested in why you would prefer the older style. We are in the market for a Taco and like the bigger 05+ Does anybody else feel the same?

I got the Engel mounted behind the passenger seat. These things take up so much room. I didn't take into account the mounting and have it sitting higher then I was hoping. Good thing the wife is short as that is her side of the bed...:oops: Thanks to Kurt for getting me out a slide lock so...

hahaha Doritos and jerky. That brings back memories!! Throw in a Woodsman cigar for desert and you had the perfect meal. ;) I would like to blame it on the wife but over the last couple years I have really tried to step up my game on the food end. I still pack MREs and enjoy the easy...

The fuel rack underneath turned out great. It's a little heavy to lift but the use of a ratchet strap to hold it in place until the bolts are in will help. It's only going to be used on long trips so I think it will be OK. The Engel worked GREAT. One of those things that you buy and then...

I still don't have the fridge opening the right way yet but I did get it loaded up for our trip to Missinnipi in northern SK this weekend. The 45Q is deceiving in size. It looks small inside IMO. Both my wife and I thought there was no way we were going to get the food all in there. We...

Well I fought and fought and fought and finally got the cross member and hinges for the fuel rack installed only to run into clearance issue with my bolt on receiver hitch...argh. it's always something. the cross member with weld on slide hinges: The rack hangs straight down for easy...

Thanks everyone. Yup, the fridge still opens the wrong way, but I should have that fixed before our trip to Alaska! Thanks for the parts, did your speaker plates show up yet? The caps are rubber feet for chair legs. The seem to work OK and seal nicely. A couple buck at Home Depot. The...

Count down to our Alaska trip is 20 days!!! we are head up to do some wheeling with Mark Whatley and the alaska cruiser crew. We can't wait.

For OBA air and recovery, thanks to Sierra Expeditions: Next up on the list is installing this bad boy I got from Kurt at Cruiseroutfitters. I am just awaiting the slide lock. We also have a CDN M101 that will get a complete make over this winter, hopefully with the addition of a RTT.

I also installed a heat exchanger and 12V pump for a on board shower. I will have to get a better shot of the pump and exchanger. I plumbed the inlet and out let to my front bumper. I hope they don't get knocked off hanging out like they do. Onto the tire rack and fuel storage. The...

I have a complete build over on mud if anybody is interested under ROTW. I thought I would just highlight what I am doing on the "expedition" side of things. The truck is a 1988 HJ61 with lockers, PTO winch, built auto and 12H-T diesel. The boost is cranked and an intercooler has been...

We had a variation on the tinfoil dinner as well. It was done with smokies over the ground beef. sliced onions butter sliced potatoes sliced smokies (we preferred this as they did not need to be fully cooked, We now use our favorite sausage.) Roll it all up in tinfoil, throw it on the fire...

I don't know if this helps, it's a Canadian source, I have ordered from them with good results. I didn't think his prices are that bad?? DS tactical

that sounds like a really good plan. Just so you know, now that I have it in print, and I quoted it, I am going to be bugging you for that info ;) I am really struggling with the build vs buy on this project. The AT is soooo close to what I want and I know that I couldn't build it for what...

just got back from testing out the new spare tire carrier with the big tire on some wash board:

Great build!! I have been following this with awe. A couple questions for you. What made the decision to go with the locknroll over the pintle. It looks like you could still use both? Have you weighed the trailer yet? What would you have done differently?

We pulled the trigger on the toy model. Picked up an XSI with 18-55 EFS IS for just over $800 with two 8gb cards. I wish the EFS lens would work on the older EOS cameras but they don't. I have the EF 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM II and appears to be a good lens for the XSi. For ourselves it came...

I run them on my 61 loaded down pretty heavy. I really like them. No balancing issues, and mine are big, 38x14.5R16 Wear is good at only 16000km so far. No uneven wear. Side walls are very strong and stiff. Perfect for a heavy rig. A few guys in our club run them on lighter trucks with...
