    Help? Need some measurments and dimensions....

    Welcome to the club of non-toyota owners. There's plenty of us here, so no worries about that. Regarding the bumper. Given that these are designed to bolt right on to the existing frame and work with your air bags and crush cans, have you given any thought to modifying the one made for your...

    FJ-40 on Craiglist

    Don't be mad or frustrated, get even. String them along. Promise them that you want to buy it, but require certain things from them. For some ideas, go to http://www.419eater.com/. There are several good ideas and some really great stories of people scambaiting scammers. Could be some real fun.

    Possible Disco for Streakerfreak

    Phil, May I offer another way to look at this? cash flow management vs. short-term debt reduction? It seems like you're trying to free yourself from debt...not necessarily a bad idea on its own. But, you should probably allow a couple grand in your budget for repairs or whatever given that...

    4.88 vs. 4.56 in a 2006

    Thanks, James, for the update. I am definitely interested in your feedback after towing your Chaser next week. I'm watching this thread closely as I'm seriously considering going to 4.9's to get back to stock power in much the same way that you are. Again, many thanks for sharing all this...

    Fiamma feedback

    I have both the Fiamma and the Ezi-Awn awnings. The Fiamma is much easier to setup and is just as sturdy. I purchased the Ezi-Awn, because I wanted the side panels to make an enclosed room. The Ezi-Awn, while a very fine product, is a bit difficult to setup for one person. I can do...

    Condensation in Freezer-Fridge?

    I have an ARB 45 and an Engel 45. Both get condensation inside...mostly ice on both sides of the cooling element. This is mainly due to the humid conditions I'm usually camping in. I started getting this from day 1 with my ARB (bought it new). I wouldn't worry about it, but when you go to...

    Tripod recommendations

    Bogen/ Manfrotto I use the Wilderness Tripod. I like it due to it's height, adjustable feet for sand/dirt/etc. and the rubber-padding on the legs for those really cold mornings. Placing your hand on an aluminum tripod when it's at or below freezing in the early morning before sunrise is no...

    Finally got my 60L!!!

    Nice find! Great price too. Check with Wil and Wendy at Sierra Expeditions. They're still showing the Two Zone compartments for the 60L on sale at a very, very nice price. The description says it fits Engel and Waeco, but aren't the Norlcolds essentially the same too...

    Camera equipment in a kayak?

    I went through the same dilemma. My logic is this: for the most part, anything you take with you in the kayak should be able to get wet. Or, you should plan for the fact that anything could get wet. Short of forking out a lot of $ for a waterproof housing, I opted for a point and shoot and a...

    Engel Fridge Question?

    Martyn got there before I could. Exactly what he said. Get the dual purpose Engel if you've got the room for the 60. Otherwise the 2 zone attachment works well too. The only downside I see to it is that the warmer zone is smaller than the freezer. I would prefer the other way around, like...

    Awning Location - Driver or Passenger

    Driver's side sounds best to me, given the rear door config that you mention.
