    FZJ80 Daily Driver Overland Rig. Build Thread.

    i like the idea of the power of the supercharger, but i don't like the premium gas (which you sometimes can't find at the remote gas stations). my 80 is a daily driver, wheeling rig with the tendency to expedition and it's always ready to go. if you do a rtt, i suggest going hardshell. it...

    maggiolina changing room

    never used, set it up once and found my tent (around 12+ years old) is too old to have the loops that it hooks to and never got around to putting some in. if you open yours and it has loops on the top, you're ready to go. it is the tallest one since my rig sits on 35s retail is $649. selling...

    Maxtrax

    used a friends a couple of times and loved them enough to buy a pair. used them in a dangerous blizzard condition in wyoming the day after christmas. lost on in the blowing snow, but as far as i'm concerned, they saved our lives. we could've been in a very bad spot.

    Sure-Fire Ways to Improve Your Roof Top Tent

    on my last camping trip, it was below 0. i've done fine before with a bunch of the hand warmers prewarming my sleeping bag and liner, but this trip, my buddy got both of us the "car cozy 2" electric blanket....it was freakin' awesome! comes with a 7' cord, plugs into the cig lighter. not...

    James Baroud Evasion vs. Autohome Air Top

    eight years ago, i bought a well used maggiolina airland and i've logged many hard miles on it since then. i absolutely recommend maggiolina. i have no experience with baroud, but i am interested although reading someones post about losing a chunk of gelcoat when hitting a tree is a bit...

    Is your RTT installed full-time, part-time, or as needed?

    installed full time, on a rig that sits outside in the colorado weather. i have a maggi, so i don't have to worry about covers getting rotted or destroyed, so that helps out.

    Awning/RTT/Roof Rack...???

    i wouldn't buy a rack until you knew which rtt you're going with. i have an old medium maggiolina and it won't fit most racks, i'm looking at having one custom built to fit my rtt, then with receiver brackets for my awning. they don't have a large enough footprint. plus, if you want rails...

    Interesting

    i agree with the article. the people that are keeping the land cruiser name alive are the wheelers. and the land cruiser is trying to be what it's luxury brother the lexus is supposed to be. we don't need two luxury vehicles. we need rigs to get dirty and scratched. i'm trying desperately...

    COOPER DISCOVERER - what is an adventure

    Or, maybe an adventure is visiting Moab in the off season for a three day New Years trip and finding out what slickrock is like with a covering of champagne powder. Either way, I've had so many that I find it hard to choose just one, so i'll choose a bunch for you to read, while I just get the...

    COOPER DISCOVERER - what is an adventure

    Or is it a combination where you head out loaded full of gear for a week of wheeling and partway through the trip, someone says they are hearing a funny clunk. A closer inspection shows the rotten frame under a midwestern FJ60 has decided to free the front hanger of the rear leaf springs from...

    COOPER DISCOVERER - what is an adventure

    Is an adventure my oddly relaxing nine day long trip along the Mormon/California trails in Wyoming, wheeling with my rig loaded up with fuel, food and beverages to survive comfortably for days on end and enjoying the company of my friends in some of the worst of weather, or is it the one day...

    COOPER DISCOVERER - what is an adventure

    The instructions seem so simple: write an adventure story. But how does one determine an adventure. The nature of this forum would suggest it would be blasting along the Sahara or the outback of Australia, but let's face it, not many of us have that ability/time/finances/chance to break free...

    smittybilt awning 8x6 brand new

    won it on an online charity auction. they didn't list the model, but the picture was on a jeep, so i figured it was the 6x6. nope, it's 8' long by 6' extended. too long for my rig. $175 located in denver, pick up only. saves you $20 and taxes. opened box to look at it, but haven't even...
