First off I have an iPad Air Wi-Fi only, so there is not GPS in it, so it only works with maps when at home connected to my network. I know I can buy this for it: Dual Electronics XGPS150A Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver for Portable Devices It would allow my iPad Air to work when away from...

Sorry for the picture quality, it is very sunny out here at 10 am, going to hit about 95° today. Almost an FJ Cruiser blue, looks like a model before the GS? I have posted a picture of that nice Triumph next to it here before, I like that one.

Hard to believe ten years has passed. It was July the 25th of 2006 when I took delivery of my rig after having ordering it and doing the long waiting game for it to come in. I have a short commute to work, so my FJ is not a high mileage one, as I only have 73571 miles on it as I type this. It...

Been watching a slew of the Eezi Awn 270º Bat awnings. Have an email into Paul at Equip to see if these awnings attach the same way my Campinglabs one does with the two channels on the rear of it. I would have to take off my 4' Firestik antenna each time it is deployed, but that is easy thanks...

The upper shell on Maggiolina roof top tents such as my AirLander has plastic chrome like trim that has a groove in it that the lower edge of the upper lid fits into. Mine has always come out of it a bit, and today after washing the rig I noticed on the left side most of it is down. What is the...

Fresh upload to YouTube the other day.

Just saw this posted over at fjcruiserforums.com Took the guy awhile to complete the work, but the outcome is very nice.

New model coming out that can burn wood, charcoal, and fire logs. I have the one that runs on propane, it is really nice for when there is a burn ban in effect in the mountains where I go. This however would not qualify to use since it is using wood...

I am looking at two from Tamrac. Evolution series: The advantage of the Evolution one is you can also wear it as a sling bag, and you can access your camera from a side pocket, no need to take the bag off. But there are not that many extra pockets like the Expedition one has. Tamrac 5788...

I have posted a few camera threads in the past, but never decided on what to get. My trusty Sony DH9 is getting a little old, and not taking as good of pics as it did when I first got it. Have been wanting to step up to a DLSR camera, so yesterday I read some reviews on DP, Amazon, and watched...

I did not want to believe it, but looks like it is true. Have read a few links at the blue room and Mud, and just ran across one from USA Today. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/11/05/toyota-fj-cruiser-sema-discontinued-special-edition-ultimate/3444567/ Info on the Ultimate Trail...

Just saw this at the blue room, looks like I am getting a new mod soon to replace my older rear door rack. http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/interior-exterior-visual-tech/213417-new-springtail-folding-rear-door-mpac-molle-rack.html I have the original rear door one, and a side rack from...

Creative new mosquito repellents are coming, scientists say Front page of the Seattle Times this morning, and Bill Gates is one of the backers. http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2021878196_mosquitorepellentxml.html

Saw this posted over at IH8MUDs camping section in a shower thread. Pretty cool idea, you pressurize it with a bike pump, and it holds five gallons. I like the fact it is also built in the USA. http://roadshower.com/

Anyone have one of these, and if so, are you satisfied with it? Four brightness modes, a red LED, and an SOS pattern. I have an old headlamp made by Black Diamond that is not very bright, and the lens housing is rubber and now has some sticky goo on it that will not wash off. Time to retire...

SPR13-131 Article Classic Kit Christophe Noel Dutch Ovens In the spring 2013 issue is a Dutch oven article from member Flounder. When I got all of my Lodge cast iron cookware several years back I never got around to testing out my 10" and 8" Dutch ovens to see how a peach cobbler would...

Very cool, I like how it starts off with some old pics.

I am a huge fan of Rail Riders clothing. I own four pair of the Extreme Adventure pants and some insect repellent shirts, and other shirts as seen here in this thread. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/42457-Railriders-Extreme-Adventure-Pants I received an email a few weeks back of...

Anyone own this unit that comes with the carry case? I want something to supplement my Powertank, and I just gave away my Q50 compressor to my youngest son. This is an expensive one, right around $800 or so, but I hear it is one of the best portable non hard mount ones out there.

Still looking for a good replacement to my current Sony point and shoot. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007VGGFZU/ref=pe_62860_27289550_pe_vfe_dp1 This camera looks like it has autofocusing, but you can still manually adjust the lens? I am not really up on SLRs at all, but I need a good camera to...
