just remember to wear gloves! :Wow1: I failed to heed the warning that states "will cause temporary staining"...two weeks later and I'm still wearing POR-15's gothic nail polish.

According to the manufacturer, POR-15 isn't UV resistant so you should cover it with something like their chassis paint or another topcoat.

i always jack under the A-arm too...even with my tiny tires and no lift the stock botte jack fits under there with at least 3" of clearance. Is the angle too steep now with the lift? by the way, if you pass thru town on your way to FL I have a 48" Hi-Lift you're welcome to. It just needs a...

I recently heard about Fluid Film. Looks like an interesting alternative but I've never used it.

Whew, that thing is looking tall! I'm getting winch envy...

Not mine, not affiliated...I saw this on the HUBB and thought maybe someone here would be interested. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/travel-equipment-for-sale-wanted/lima-peru-bmw-f650-cheap-59906

i thought it was very admirable that the entire time your husband chalks it up as "this is adventure", without letting out any frustration or disappointment. Way to set a good example for the kiddos. I've seen plenty of meltdowns over a scratch in the paint...but you guys kept your cool...

Very cool. Well hopefully we will cross paths with you somewhere along the way!

Not sure what you're talking about there, but G100 has a very cool surf/sleeper built from an ARE like you're talking about. Check it out: Project T100 "Baja Explorer"

Such a cool vehicle...me want, really bad. more 4x4 Chinook porn EDIT: I did a search and found a clean 2wd Chinook, a nice 4x4 chinook, and a project for sale...there's a photo album showing the 2wd to 4wd chinook project swap. Pretty interesting.

Subscribed! Thanks for sharing your adventures, now I have to spend eternity going thru all the great info!

Yeah, I don't blame ya. Well if for some crazy reason no one wants the little piece, don't forget about me. I mentioned it on Yotatech for ya, good luck with the sell. http://www.yotatech.com/f44/fs-hilux-surf-tailgate-tire-carrier-model-350-knoxville-tn-243511/#post51807474

Me want.

I don't suppose you'd be interested in selling just the "Hilux Surf" license plate light/frame thingy? (Shipped to 78704) You should try selling this on Yotatech too, you might find more interest.

Realistic enough and relevant to the OP. All he's saying is airbags can cause serious injury or death AFTER an accident. You don't HAVE to cut them. If you're in an accident and your airbags haven't deployed, you can just disconnect the terminal to de-energize your vehicle and prevent an...

I have a coworker who got in a pretty bad wreck...by the time the 1st engine company arrived he had already checked out the other drivers and cut his own battery cables! Amen. Never cut the cables covered in orange or blue loom on hybrids...because you'll die.

Sounds like quite the adventure, especially on a bicycle :Wow1: I really enjoyed your journal entry about the Baobob in Senegal & Gambia. The African Legend about the tree was very interesting for me. My sister lives in Madagascar where there are tons of Baobob so I forwarded the story for...

Great point Ray. If you're driving a unimog or something with tons of room, go for it! If you're driving a cramped Toyota 4runner...you'll survive without it.

Handy indeed, but not always necessary. An axe will do the job painfully slow, but it will also split your firewood and the back end can serve as a big striking tool. Honestly ask yourself how much trailblazing you will do? Will you be cutting down the Amazon or just chopping thru an...
