    ExPo's Lexus GX470 Overland Project

    There are no gasoline long range tanks that are legal for the GX that I am aware of. While some individual owners may feel comfortable with the EPA fine risk, I just can't risk it as a business.

    ExPo's Lexus GX470 Overland Project

    The Wilco just didn't meet my needs for ease of use and retaining my departure angle. The fuel situation is even more of a challenge, as an LRA tank is not legal to fit to a GX in the USA. Which is why the spare tire tank makes more sense for me. I just leave it empty until I go to Mexico, and...

    The table suggestion looks great!

    I spent a few days installing the Old Man Emu BP-51s. The trick is taking the time to service worn parts and clean the frame, undercoat, etc. at the same time. I was tight on time, but glad to have made the effort.

    It is a small company that produced an innovative product. They likely just need some time and volume. Personally, I am grateful to see innovation in a sea of knock-offs.

    They are not certified as such, but produced with material suitable for fuel storage. i.e., buyer beware. It is rare to need extra fuel in the US, so if I was to fill it up in Mexico, then it would be 100% legal :)

    I weighed it at 19 pounds total. The door closes just as before, but you can hear the notable metal/metal engagement of the ramping support at the base of the Becky. That is why I chose this model, because of the additional support. For the water, I am looking at this clever new product. It...

    Back at the GX project, and finished up the Becky install. It completely changes the rear of the Lexus and puts the spare where I prefer it. A water tank in the spare location has moved up the list. . .

    Overland Journal: G-Wagen

    I did mention it briefly. Overall, it is a very nice tent, and made from quality materials. It is a bit compact on the width, so be sure you like who you are sleeping with ;) Any criticisms are really minor, like the closing mechanisms, which wrap under the base, which can be difficult to attach...

    I have considered having two tanks under there, but ultimately range is just really not an issue in the US. If it is, I can bring a few 20L cans along. The factory GX470 tank is about 19 gallons. It is certainly range-limited, but ok for how I plan to use the vehicle in North America. (there...

    I think you will be ok with Bear spray and some caution. I have been to Tuk a few times, and not experienced any issues. We have seen bear prints and the locals told us there are some nearby, but no sightings. I did see some wolves eating a Caribou, which was amazing. The only time we have...

    Ooooh, that looks like a fun one! Was it Schultz Pass that was the rocky section?

    Discovery 2 Vs GX470

    I have not found Rover owners to be overly rude. A vehicle's character is nearly always a reflection of the owner. Toyota buyers are typically type A, so the idea of a mechanical failure often gives them a lot of anxiety (which is why they buy Toyotas). Land Rover owners tend to be more creative...

    Mojave Gladiator - Desert Rated Jeeps

    I am taking delivery of a Mojave next week. It will be an interesting comparison to the max tow Sport we tested last year. Feedback soon. . .
