    Lexus GX 460 & 470 owner's thread

    Deals on 470's are hard to come by. Found a promising one today but with closer inspection of the pics it has a cracked dash. I have looked at well over 30 units and if you find a really nice one the price is jacked way up. Very few have much for service records and I have found 1 that had the...

    Gear that works

    Those Snow Peak fire pits are great. So is the field oven that goes with them. I'm a big fan of my Aqua Quest tarps. They pack so small and lightweight yet they are so robust. I have the safari series. My wife is always amazed that I pull out this small bag and end up with a 10x13 tarp. Aqua...

    06 GX 470...Lot told me to make an offer

    You can find used transmissions for $1200 to $1500 online with free shipping nationwide. Called a a local shop I use and he said $600 for an install with new filter and fluid. So running your at 5 grand with all of the major service left. That's a decent deal but after that your creeping up...

    06 GX 470...Lot told me to make an offer

    186000 with none of the major service documented. Minor service was kept very well. Will not go forward so could be simple or a major rebuild. At minimum it needs all the major services done. I'm thinking a $3000 offer if they will take it. would love some opinions.

    KISS Remote Camping List

    I never carry everything. Mine is predicated by how long and if I'm using my trailer. As I'm writing this I'm trying to remember exactly how many stoves I own. I can go from full Snow Peak kitchen with several burners to single backpack stoves. But here is what my 2-3 day survival kit looks...

    What are some of the most reliable old vehicles?

    I drive older vehicles because I'm cheap when it comes to them. I have owned several of the trucks mentioned in here. My experience is that at around 300,000 miles they are pretty much done and the repairs become more trouble than they are worth. I buy them usually at just over 100,000 and keep...

    Looking at a LR3

    Its not a requirement but the price on this one owner unit was attractive but still a 4 hour one way drive away. If it had a rear diff lock given their relative scarcity it would be worth my time to go inspect. I'm going to look at another closer unit tomorrow.

    Looking at a LR3

    That's what I thought. Vin searches will not tell either as far I can see. I will try to get the car lot to check but I'm not hopefull they will or will have any idea how to. Not willing to drive 4 hours to look at a garden variety SE.

    Looking at a LR3

    Does this confirm a locking diff? Its an 08 SE with 152K. I looks like a factory tow package also. Its about a 4 hour drive away to inspect.

    Slumberjack Road House Tarp

    I really like Aqua Quest tarps. I have a couple and use then all the time. They use loops instead of eyelets and the sewing is really robust. You can use flat washers on your poles to keep the loops from sliding down. The kits come with a set of quick release compression straps that work really...

    Camp Chef Mountaineer Stove

    Yea something got me to doing some research on that and you are correct. I did do a leak test but I'm going back to the original hose assy. Far as I can tell none of the camp stove fittings have adapters because I'm sure they don't want you bypassing the regulator.

    Camp Stove Help!

    I have a Coleman and a Camp Chef stove and both input lines are of similar design but the collars are different diameter. I see in the comments that the Stansport line will not work with Coleman stoves but seems to work with Camp Chef. I have a hunch that the Stansport and Camp Chef are the...
