    Which tent for frequent use by tall people? Alucab, JB?

    6' 6" here, too, and sub'd for any info that comes through.

    RTT on ARE Z Series

    I know Milford for their cargo barriers. That LoadMax canopy roof reinforcement is a pretty nifty product. Following to see how the install turns out.

    Multimeter recommendations

    I probably have six or eight multimeters around here, both my own and especially from my EE brother's estate. A near 40-year old Fluke 75 is still my best and favorite. But to be honest, some of the *very* economical more recent ones from my brother's stuff work perfectly well. I wouldn't...

    Zarges Cases Mounting

    Do you know why the Eezi-Awn K9 Alu-Box mount won’t fit a Zarges box? It looks like it grips the base frame extrusion. Although the Zarges box is pretty familiar (I have four of five of them) I don’t know Alu-Box well enough to know any differences in this part of their construction. If...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Indeed, I'd agree. And with the global Ranger a "local" truck in South Africa, they've fershure had many, many chances to test the fit in that application. Perhaps it's the Ranger load bars in that German image -- I've not seen those in South Africa, although they're likely available.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Boy, I'd expect that camper to have interference with the roof and roof rails in no time on any sort of rough road. That clearance looks completely inadequate on the world-market Ranger.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I can't imagine XM radio reception would be any good with a back-of-the-rooftop antenna shielded by aluminum plate, even if clearance were managed. Does the shark fin contain the GPS antenna too? (My 2015 Tacoma doesn't have a nav system -- yet -- but I didn't think the GPS was in the fin.)...

    What is this connector called?

    A completely shot-in-the-dark Google search came up with at least one possible hit: http://www.electri-cord.com/content/ZZ_UNUSED/IEC320.html

    Thoughts on POR 15 for trailer build?

    POR-15 is probably the best corrosion preventing coating I’ve ever used (and I say that as one who worked in coatings R&D for years). It’s also one of the worst to apply, and almost impossible to clean up. I’ve used lots of the stuff. I use disposable brushes and for sure disposable gloves...

    Open Carry in Wilderness Areas

    Perhaps this one, too: https://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/programs/trails/welcome.shtml Seems like ya gotta check with the local office to be sure what's in place for the wilderness area you're going to visit.

    FS: Inno RT101 pickup truck bed rack mount for Thule- or Yakima-style rails on standard bed (SOLD)

    Purchased new by me in January 2012 for my Gen1.5 Tacoma and never used as I soon found the Mountain Top tonneau I'd been looking for. Never installed. $XX via PayPal shipped to CONUS address from 63117. $XX total shipped if you'd like to include the original box, too (otherwise I'll pack...

    •PRICE REDUCED• 2009 Toyota Tacoma 60k miles

    Great looking truck, and I'd be surprised if anyone could build this for close to what you're asking, even ignoring all the work. Good luck with sale -- it'll make a nifty truck for someone. That ARB Simpson seems to fit on that long bed with room to spare. It's more compact when stowed than...

    We took our Camel Trophy Discovery to Logandale for a quick photoshoot...

    Nice! Sorta confirms "Sandglow" is an appropriate name for the color, doesn't it?

    Overland/cross country vehicle: Lexus RX400h Hybrid

    I've had a 2008 RX350 (AWD) since new. It's been a terrific car. I wouldn't hesitate to go car camping in it, and for simple dirt roads to a campsite it would do fine.

    Black Friday Camera Deals...

    Canon has some terrific deals on their refurbished site for M-series cameras (but not the M50). They have the EOS M5 with EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens for $550. That's about half of what I paid when it launched a few years ago. The refurbished site, as far as I can tell, sells brand new...

    SOLD - Overland Journal Magazines

    GLWS. The full edition is in my library, too, and if someone is interested this is a great opportunity to get the set. Lotta very interesting and informative stuff there.

    Vintage Military Tires...

    For that little weight, I'm not sure any of your concerns will make a difference. (It wouldn't to me.)

    2k quiet gendrators

    Costco is pretty straight shooting. I'd say it's exactly what it seems -- a lesser-spec, cheaper product than the Honda. Costco are pretty clear in the description that it's Yamaha-powered, not a Yamaha product. I'm sure a big-box brand is gonna have parts availability issues where a Honda...
