    2021 Honda Trail 125 is an option if you wanted something lighter with light trail capability. Used in Australia as a postman bike. One Australian traveled on the previous model from Perth to London (shipping across the oceans of course). https://powersports.honda.com/street/minimoto/trail125-abs/

    Hiking and Camping in Goblin Valley with our FJ62 Land Cruiser

    Great video. Thanks for sharing. Goblin Valley has been on my list for my trip back to Utah to explore more.

    PullPal vs Other Winch Anchors

    The tire anchor + winch didn't work for me down in Baja. Ground was too soft and water kept rising up into the hole. When I winched, the tire anchor would give and pull all the mud toward the rig. Got rescued by fisherman in a truck with line. Good karma because couple days prior I rescued a...

    Stay 15" tires or move to 17"?

    I wanted to stick with 255/85R16 which is the size I've had on my 80 for the last three set of tires. Like you, I noticed that there are more MT than AT options in the pizza cutter size. As a result for limited AT choices in that size, I'm switching to 285/75R16 to open up more AT options for...

    Is there an "ultimate" tablet for Gaia/GPS?

    Checking the apple website I see that the specifications of the plain wifi verison of the iPad Mini doesn't have a GPS chipset. Do you mean, you have the iPad Mini Wifi+Cellular version (without paying for cellular service) connecting to hotspot for data?

    Exceptional Engineering - Offroad Caravan Monsters

    I remember watching that video. When I get old and need all the creature comforts, I prefer the Euro style caravan/camper over the American style RV.

    Mint "80" - Would You Have the Roof Cut Off to Install a Campteq?

    Stimulate the economy. I have money in the bank so my stimulating-the-economy would be circulating real money instead of a pumped up imaginative credit value.

    Aussie Style Truck And SUV Rear Canopies And Trays

    I agree with you on the absurdly high/deep beds. I have difficulty reaching into the beds from the side of modern trucks since the sides are so tall.

    Mint "80" - Would You Have the Roof Cut Off to Install a Campteq?

    WHAT! WHAT! That's news to me!!! That would save me the trouble of removing the old roof rack rails (and having to weld up the bolt holes) and removing the roof slat-thingy-mabobs. The paint on those are flaking off like the size of corn flakes. It's all your fault! :)

    Mint "80" - Would You Have the Roof Cut Off to Install a Campteq?

    If you do cut the top, are you getting a custom built pop-top? Those Campteq's are not produced anymore and are very rare to find.

    Evaporator drip on floorboard.

    Probably evaporator or evaporator valve leak. Check ih8mud.com and search their archives of threads.

    Aussie Style Truck And SUV Rear Canopies And Trays

    I wish the Aussie style canopies were more popular. We have limited choices on this side of the pond. I'd want one if I had a "ute". Norweld has a distributor in PA: https://www.mainlineoverland.com/pages/norweld-aluminum-ute-trays-canopies-accessories

    Mobile Radio choice: Dual band vs. 2m?

    I second the Kenwood TM-V71A. It's a great fairly utilitarian radio without all the bells and whistles and other do-dads. I like that the Kenwood has separate volume and squelch knobs for the two bands; no need to dig through menus. If you don't plan on doing a remote display mount you can flip...

    Expedition 7

    I finally made it to the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum in 2019. ? I was drooling at all the Land Cruisers.

    Mojave Road (Bachelor Party)

    Hilarious. Looks like you guys had a great time. Track suits plus the bling. We had a couple rigs that needed trail repairs too on my most recent trip on the Mojave Trail. And after the trip, couple rigs needed new alternators and/or new starters. The deep Mojave River crossing must have did...

    Automatic or Manual Transmission for Expedition Use?

    My bad. I analyzed that incorrectly and read the screen name wrong. I can't put the blame on smartphone autocorrect this time. When I saw the "y" my brain saw "analyzed". Reminds me of this: "Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a...

    Automatic or Manual Transmission for Expedition Use?

    I've driven from Belize to Panama in a RHD Defender 110. Costa Rica was fine with the RHD. El Salvador was a no go (although supposedly one can apply for a permit, but that takes a couple months advanced to process).
