    Diesel News: POST HERE

    Looks like the VW Toureg 2 with the V6 TDI is a sure thing - at least the US web site says it is coming soon (http://www.vw.com/touareg/en/us/). I noted they are listing its highway mpg as only 24, but on the Club Tourag blog, many are saying that due to the new way of calculating mpg for...

    Keeping warm in the tent

    Here is a link to my Espar heater install. It will cost you but is very high quality and you can run it off diesel - very efficient. I only use it when I first climb in to my RTT to warm things up so I can read, and then in the morning so I can get dressed. If it is very nasty out, we put our...

    I bolted mine ARE on my 06 Tundra - those clamps kept getting in my way and also would loosen up. Scotty

    Hydraulic Floor Jacks

    I have a Craftsman that I don't like - after jacking up my Tundra, the handle slowly raises by its self until it presses against the frame - what is up with that? There is also very little control lowering the truck, you really can't lower it down slowly. Scott MacButch ____________ 2006...

    Long weekend on the Magruder

    Cool trip report! I always wanted to that trip. I float the Selway often, but permits are so hard to get that I have been going in over Nez Perce pass in early May with Tim (can't remember his last name) before permit season. He was using '70s Broncos with lockers to get us in, and I know what...

    requesting help from AT owners

    Yes definitely get the awning, when it is raining prop up the little awning over your Eezi Awn door, then the water drains off that and on to the Fiamma awning thus keeping the stove, myself and open box dry on my Horizon from the rain. I would remove the cheezy plastic drain plug to the 19...

    Adventure Trailer Mod Thread

    Family tents / rooms, screen shelters search

    That MSR Boardroom looks nice - I would love to have one. I had a MSR Sidewinder that was a dud, thing would fill up with sand in big winds in the desert, but their Huba back packing tents are the best now, I really like them. I have used the para wing for river trips for years (they acquired...

    Issues with my Eezi-Awn

    I really like the build quality & ease of set up on the EA 1800, mounted on my AT Horizon, but if I had to pick one nit, it would be the design of the mini awning over the door. It is real functional as long as it isn't windy, but if you have a strong wind it flaps all night long. If it isn't...

    New Garmin Colorado

    Had a quick question on the Colorado series - PDF manual states it has an alarm clock that will turn the unit on at a predetermined time, but does it actually buzz or ring so that it will wake you up?

    Help Spooling Rope On New Winch

    Thanks for the help Mike - as I expected I mounted the winch backwards, I feel like a fool but some dude on Tundrasolutions.com had pictures of his install and he did the same thing, only he forgot to mention the screw up. It is going to be a real pain to switch, getting the bolts to threads on...

    Help Spooling Rope On New Winch

    I have never had a winch before and I'm having a problem getting my new synthetic rope to spool on to my new Warn M8000. I just installed an ARB Sahara Bar on my 2006 Tundra with the M8000 and Viking Aluminium fairlead. As you look at the bumper/winch from the front of the truck, the clutch...

    Eezi-Awn 2M Awning

    I purchased this Eezi-Awn - Series 2000 2M awning from Adventure Trailers last August and just upgraded to a 2.5M to fit on my Mega Warrior rack on my Tundra. I only used it a couple of times last autumn in Yellowstone NP and other that a few cosmetic scratches on the aluminium case (from...

    Eco-Roamer - F650 based Expedition Vehicle

    Don't mention anything about being eco friendly on this post - I tried - the boys will jump down your throat big time - screw the Polar Bears - so what if they go extinct on our watch - keep on trucking in your 25,000 lb rigs - what the heck the kids are getting an education!
