    Please educate me on Lights....

    Salamat Malam, Pak (lived/worked/played in Balikpapan for 5 years - Huffco)..that's easier said than done. Also, I don't know about the rest of you but I like to have my lights work when I want them to and not when my headlights come on, or park lights, or high beams. Also, there is a law in...

    Extra key storage As I travel solo a lot, at least for portions of my trips, going from C to D and F to G etc. I want to be able to hide an extra key somewhere on the outside, easy to get to, but not easy to see/find. I have electric locks on the doors, glass is way to expensive and hard to...

    Electrical Issues These are unique to those trucks that have full time 24 volt systems. Some Surfs and others have 2 batteries from the factory which are used only to start the engine and then everything else is 12 volts.Careful on wiring these for dual battery systems, you can do it, but be...

    CB Antenna - No Ground Plane Well the weather has been warmer +3-6C and getting hotter maybe even 10 tomorrow!

    Cobb cooker

    Depending on what is meant by coals and charcoal and what heat value they have, you might want to try the briquettes. As they have been compacted considerably, they last longer and have a greater heat value than charcoal. I have cooked for 2-4 people using 3-6 briquettes (Kingsford Match Lite)...

    Yes you do!...If I have the handle and person correct, you may recall I came to see you at your house one evening with David Furrey. We had some of your homemade beer and you gave us a tour of your garage and truck. I was quite impressed with your gear and especially the compressor which you...

    Supposed to be a warm day tomorrow +3C, so may get to work on NOMAD some more. Hope to install the new CB antenna and see if it resolves the "No Ground Plane" issue.

    My experience using my SPOT Messenger's 911 emergency button

    Gald to see this incident posted and all the worthy comments. Hope your leg gets better soon! Thank you for sharing! Considering the possible medical condition of the person while using a SPOT, one must consider it to be fool proof, i.e. push a button and help will come. For that it hits the...

    Ya, Bruce, I noticed that option as well...I didn't post it as I assumed (and probably wrongly so) that everyone would know to unplug it before driving away.

    Shower and toilet enclosure thread

    Absolutely outstanding thread on one item of trailing equipment...a place to be by yourself for a few minutes (OK some of you literally hours) chatting with nature. The enclosure for privacy if one needed any in a natural setting and a seat to ponder life's woes. Excellent...just shows how we...

    1990 Land Cruiser HZJ73 vetting and build

    Great idea...but I think I might leave it in the engine bay and put a zip lock baggy around it. Not a whole lot of places to put things inside the cabin as you might know, owning a 7x series. The dash and underneath is pretty much crammed full from factory. As soon as it warms up here I might...
