Looks like the start to a fine project! A fine first 3 posts and welcome to the forum!

So, if that's your driveway, is the green tarp hanging from the trees your garage?

I agree with Bob here on the brakes. Frame looks very well done, and it's good that you tied the tongue back to the second crossmember. Waiting patiently for the rest of the build....

:lurk:

I love simple DIY projects!

it's certainly worth the price of admission....even if it craps out in 2 years it's at least worth trying out. Buy a desktop organizer basket from Staples, if you think you really need a basket for your food, otherwise stack it in there like you would any old cooler. Let us know how well it...

I do like our Yeti, And they have a neat video of bears trying to break into them on their website. Right after we got it I was going to lock it and leave it out for the bears at Tea Creek in West Virginia, my wife said absolutely not! She didn't want them scratching our brand new cooler, I...

Funny, I was surfing around and found out that, while we are pining away for a HiLux, the Aussies were pining away for Tundras.

My transfer case might be shifted by a button, but unless I become paralyzed from the neck down, I will not live on a hover chair. The caloric burn from either activity (shifting a lever versus pressing that button) will not show a statistical difference. The action of pulling a lever won't...

The entire lineup is not there, he totally neglected the first gen Tundras, and every Corolla ever made.....

I know Jeeps are not small vehicles anymore (face it they are long and wide now, especially the 4 door), but it looks huge compared to the LC. Magic? Looks like a fun trip!

Really? I was under the impression that anything that wasn't a Land Cruiser was shunned by most Cruiser people?:rolleyes:

Well, since it has a real purpose (and a good one) I can deal with my mental juxtaposition. Guess, I'm too used to hood scoops (uh, bonnet scoops) being for air intake into the engine.....intercoolers never crossed my mind. Thanks guys!

I like the lines of this truck, but I think it's face (grill and headlights) is ugly.....and what's the deal with having a hoodscoop and a snorkel both?

Have them sandblasted, and then paint them. I will not have anything powdercoated again. My wheels on the Tundra have flaked off and rusted (why they get a repaint every year) and the bed rack has the same issue. That super "durable" powder coat looks real good initially, but the first...

To each his own, my off road experience is far more enjoyable with the auto. They also seem to hold up just fine for me with regular fluid and filter changes (and big coolers). The one in the Tundra is almost to 200,000 miles now and going strong.

While so many here prefer diesels and manuals, my preference runs to V8s and automatics. I've had sticks before and while they're fun in a musclecar, or a sports car the auto is much more forgiving and easier to drive offroad.....and if need be I can still drive it easily with a broken leg......

I would buy it again, if that answers the "good buy?" question. It's very easy to set up, just two long tent poles at the corners and you can stake it down if need be. It's as sturdy as tent poles and fabric can be, I guess, it shows no signs of wear as yet. It's nice when it is just walls...

Use this RV pump, with whatever water tank you choose. Easy way is to just run a switch to turn the pump on when camped, and a simple garden hose and sprayer. With the switch on the pump will hold pressure and shut itself off. You need water just spray what you need and the pump kicks on and...

While we're dreaming, can we get all the auto manufacturers to bring back the options list? I'd love to do away with these "package deals" of thousands of dollars of crap you don't want just to get an option you do want. The old fashioned "check the box" to pick your options was great. 4WD...
