    SmartBar (polyethylene bullbars from ARB-owned AUS company) making progress?

    SmartBar in Australia has been making progress with their designs and aesthetics for a few years now. They have a pretty good product line, and to my eyes at least, these rotomolded LDPE bullbars look decent. If they made one for my 2015 Tacoma, I'd consider it. My 2001 and now 2003 Tacomas...

    Help ID & age a canvas tent

    We had a tent similar to that in the second half of the 1960s. Family friends had one almost exactly like that. I’d guess late 1950s-1970-ish.

    Hi adio3x -- new forum seems to limit length of these posts. Doing sumthin' wrong I guess. Just now seeing your details on the Thule stuff! I'm good with $150 for the full kit, if it's still available. My place is right near Forest Park. Let me know time/place for transaction. Don m...

    Permenant import from Europe

    ^^^This. Having followed Victorians experience on here, it probably makes sense to build a European trip into your budget to confirm what you're buying and especially exactly what you're shipping!

    Who overlands for the purpose of photography?

    It normally takes me 10x the driving on highways to get to the dirt roads and light trails that are my destinations for photography. So, yes, overland of a sort. But photography is almost always the reason I travel on my own time, even if overland is a small part. Almost a week on safari at...

    PPG100 Portable Power Station Now Available

    I notice the "Learn more" link in the op doesn't mention the word "generator". I'd have bet a nickel it did when I first read it the other day. Am I misremembering something there?

    PPG100 Portable Power Station Now Available

    Seems like the use of the term "generator" with regard to this product is a bit of a stretch. It's a battery pack, yes?

    Camper Import: From port to DMV

    I recently bought a replacement for my old Tacoma in Colorado and brought it back to Missouri. I didn't get temporary tags -- that would have required a Colorado address, which I could have supplied, and cost more -- but rather I got transport tags, which for notalot gave me three days to get...

    Battelle

    Interesting... I spent the first ten years of my career at Battelle, in a polymer science and technology group in Columbus. The institute always did a big portion of its work for government clients, and was looking for large project manangement opportunities, but wasn’t into anything like this...

    Hi neighbor -- What is the width on the Thule crossbars? Regarding the Pioneer head unit -- I'm interested in that too, but a bit out of the loop on aftermarket in-dash nav. What did you mean about needing soldering for the GPS to work? Isn't that normally just a plug-in antenna puck for...
