Thanks for the update, Tom. Glad to hear all is well. Stop by again if you come up this way this summer..

(Hey, Quade/Andreas . . . hope all is well.) A lot of us have been to the Steens. It's a fine/recommended place to go. Not much on the way to anything but lots of low-key stuff to do and see once you get to the area. And the Steens can be combined with investigation of the Owyhees and the...

Great photography, Paul, and I am glad to see the Jeep getting some good use in some nice places. Best regards to you both from all of us here.

It appears that she was, after a gap in time, selling coffee next to a Target store in Frisco, Texas. This came from a Facebook post someone unearthed for me a year or two ago. If anyone reads this who's in the DFW area and you ever see Camper (Coffee) Mog, please let us know. And should she...

Under New Management . . . As noted just an inch or so up your page, Dale put his nice Wee-Strom/DMC rig up for sale and I bought it last weekend. It's a nice setup and I'm enjoying having it. Somewhat unusually, this outfit is my third I currently own. My FJ1200/Cal Friendship is running...

Tom was kind enough to bring the vehicle over for me to look at while he passed through Portland. Extremely nice work with many nice features and clever details. Perhaps the most impressive thing to me was how well he did at making the "ambulance" vanish. From the side profile, all the windows...

These things are indeed pretty darn capable, but tire size will always be a limiting factor. Everything is a compromise, though, with no free lunch. From looking at them, it seems that my Adventures, at 255/60R19 are absolutely as big as you'll be able to manage without rubbing and with the...

Please excuse my lack of a timely response. I thought I was subscribed to get alerts for this thread, but apparently not. My bad. It's a Front Runner half rack that is listed on the Front Runner website as being for a Lexus GX470, but everything I can see suggests it's just a generic platform...

Hi, Jim; nice to see you on the Portal. Funny that we both are in Cayennes after Rubicons. I think the Wranglers are great on the trail but, boy, do you pay for the privilege when you are on pavement. A Cayenne gives up some capability on the toughest of trails (mostly due to tire size limits)...

As a contrast to Marcantoine77's snow, I'm just returned from a drier- and warmer-than-normal Prescott, Arizona, where I ran some backcountry stuff in my Gen 2 Cayenne. It did fine off pavement and, as usual, did a stellar job on pavement during the 2500 miles of highway travel required for...

Really clever, Paul. Nice use of what's already there, and the positioning is great given the Foxwing. All the comforts of home in 25 square feet. Nano-tiny house, eh?

Very nice, Paul, and very clever. Congratulations on yet another elegantly-executed improvement.

Yep. Considering that their change made about a third of the Web largely useless, I'm thinking hangin' might be too good fer 'em. :( If you are using the Chrome browser--or might consider using it for situations like this--you can (as others have mentioned in other threads) get an extension to...

You're very welcome, Paul. I'm very pleased that you were able to get the Jeep back in service and make good use of it. Those were difficult times and it makes me happy to know I chose the best option available. Congratulations on your work and best wishes for your future travels.

For 14 days or as long as they last, Woot is selling the Disc-O-Bunk bunks (plain, camo, youth) and the chair for a reduced price. If you know what they are and want one, the price reduction and $5.00 shipping may make this a good time. https://sport.woot.com/plus/camping-chairs-cots-by-disc-o-bed

Congratulations on the sale. That truck and I go back a long ways and I was very pleased that it spent time with someone who had the talent and knowledge necessary to get it back into first-rate shape. I, too, will be eager to see the next application of your skills, as well as following the...

Winch and Tire Info I figure I might as well add a couple of other notes from the Southern Utah trip. The Comeup winch never got used on the trip, though it worked fine when messing around with it pre-trip. I was pleased to find out that you wouldn't ever know it was back there except that the...

Roof Rack Trip Report My recent trip to, from and across Southern Utah in my Cayenne Turbo went great. The short version is that we went about 2,000 miles on Interstates, 1,000 miles on two-lanes and about 500 miles on dirt, and the Cayenne seemed happy on each. Here are a few quick...

I had about 150 pounds on the roof and everything seemed happy. Lots of cruising at 80 mph on the Utah and Idaho freeways without any apparent problems, and there were admittedly some high speeds for short intervals when passing on the two lanes. Neither the rack or the contents was affected...

Roof rack fitment I'm back and, as promised, want to share my adventures with mounting a sizable roof rack on the Cayenne's factory roof rails . . . Front Runner makes a wide variety of pretty useful stuff and I recommend them, but the trial and error fitment of the rack would, I think, apply...
