    What are you using for a coffee maker and coffee brand when camping/overlanding?

    There are some fancy coffee makers on here. Wow you all take your coffee seriously. I either use a percolator or just old school grounds in the bottom of a pot of water and bring to a boil. Filter it cheese cloth or something similar and drink. As for coffee type, what ever is a course ground...

    DC-DC charger setup question

    While I have little knowledge of a DC-DC charger other than what was in my old camper, I will agree and disagree with your post above. However most ECU's are smart enough to handle this. My LR3 is one of the worse energy hog out there, if the main battery is low the Rover will drop into limp...

    Understanding Battery separators versus battery isolators, for charging via a car alternator.

    I think the problem with a discharged AGM is when it is almost completely dead. There is a procedure to get them back up and running and regular charging will not do it. My Battery charger is modern and designed for AGM battteries however when it drained down to far the charger would not charge...

    Karsten Inflatable tent

    You can use a 12V pump or a standard foot pump. Took about 11 minutes of me fumbling and getting this setup. Seems I was out of practice. While the 2 tubes are not free standing so it seems, Once you have the corners out (in my picture it was not enough and I was on a slope) and the center of...

    What would you replace your LR3/4 with ?

    So when I had my first LR3 in 2013 there was not very many aftermarket parts like Cats etc. Fast forward to my 2007 model and 2020 and there are a ton of parts. My regular shop does the work and a good job. Cats installed with O2 under 1900 (non LR cats) Other work I do myself. If I had a lift...

    Pandemic impact on vehicle prices: what do you think?

    I have had good and bad luck on Craigslist and zero on Facebook. Facebook for me is worse than Craigslist with scammers and people trying to sell me fake Carfax reporting sites. I used it twice and never again. Craigslist I have sold several things over the years, Trailers, engines, Vehicles...

    Karsten Inflatable tent

    Unfortunately I was unable to get this up over the weekend as my wife had other plans for me that involved taking down a larger tree behind our house. Putting up a "toy" had less priority for her so it has now been pushed to this coming weekend.

    Karsten Inflatable tent

    So when I was a kid (i am 51 this year) my Dad had a very unique family tent, or so I think it was unique. It was a Orange and Green Inflatable tent (looked like a pumpkin). The tent was canvas and from what I can tell the bladders were heavier canvas (maybe like a fire hose). It had a schrader...

    Hagertys Top 6 Picks

    I could agree with just about everything on this list BUT the Defender. When was the last time you saw an accessibly priced Land Rover Defender? For 28K that they are commenting on, I could pick a slew of better choices to fill this slot and all in the same range as the others.

    Brakes are there Thr PO just removed the hydralics as in lines to the surge coupler. I have the coypler, it needs a new master which I found at NAPA. And thr line I can make.

    great advise. I am now rethinking the brakes and after some reading on Steal Solders I decided it may be better to just replace the axle as you and others have.

    Suggestions on a build

    Ahhh thanks! I have to look at mine a little closer to see if it will move forward more. I like that idea and hate the way mine hangs down. I bet this was how they did it as well initally when it was installed on a truck.

    So I looked at your build thread. Interesting Your truck cap sits flush to the bed of the truck. Mine does not. it hangs down back of the bed to I would guess where the bumper would be. It hangs down about another 2-3 inches. It forced me to remove the tailgate hinge mounts and cut to small...

    Thanks! I will have to look at mine. I do find it sits to high. But if you have ever seen in person the M715 that was suppose to tow it, you would see why it is so high. Now something fun to do is see how to spring under it.

    Thoughts....on what to do.

    I am going to try either way. I do not have high hopes right now. hell I would trade it for a 55 but still. I have a feeling the price of the 60 will drop due to all of this. I still will give the 60 the TLC it needed, like I mention really only the drip rails and I have the material. At least...

    Thoughts....on what to do.

    The way our economy is going (stimulus or not) it may be when they are in college it is worth what it was 2 months ago. Car prices are tanking and I am betting once this is all over, those buyers that would have bought an FJ60 will not have the funds, or be more careful with their funds that...

    Thoughts....on what to do.

    So I want to thank everyone on this forum for the great suggestions. In the end we all got hit with a pandemic that we did not expect. My wife has taken a paycut for who knows how long and my job is in question. So far we are ok. Fortunately I had a gut feeling that something was about to...
