Ok, here is my stab at it:
Spare parts
OBA
Ham radio (if you do trips with others using same, if not do fridge/batt first)
Fridge
Dual batt.
Toughbook w/GPS
Bumper(s)
Skids
Aux. fuel (this should be moved up if you really need it for a specific trip, such as Mexico)
Lights
Awning
Pull PalIf you...
Well, about a year and a half later, and I can say the light isn't holding up. It frequently loses contact and the light goes out. I have to ********** it with my hand or push on the bezel and it comes back on. Bummer!
I picked up a new Petzl Tikka plus just before the arctic trip for ten bucks and...
That is hilarious :xxrotflma
I am simply an echo in this room... nice work!
I too am curious how you like the Light Racing jounce shocks. Any more interior pics? It looks like you might have a computer in there?
Erik has definitely had some issues that needed to be resolved and he has made some vast improvements to the original. He gave me a tour of the van last night at camp (need to finish the tour today) and he has done some really cool stuff to it, and made a lot of improvements. I would consider it...
Expedition Trophy '06, overland route:
Ed Beggy's Toyota FJ40 breaks a motor mount
Jonathan Hanson and Ed Beggy working from above...
Mark F'n Stephens working from below...
Jonathan stops at nothing to finish the job...
In the end, the motor mount was fixed with a combination...
In that case, a 31x10.5xR15 would add some ground clearance and should be fine with the gearing that comes with the auto. For more of a compromise between added height and fuel economy a 30x9.5xR15 would work well. You might also be able to shed some weight by getting an alloy wheel but make...
Scott, Stephanie, Sharon and I just had dinner last night with Erik and Amy of Badgertrek fame. Very cool people! Their version of the SM is very striking when you see it in person. What an absolutely killer looking machine. :costumed-smiley-007 There is definitely a benefit to the size and...
Congrats and welcome to ExPo! What tire/wheel size did you get? What gearing? (A/T or manual?)
Here are some ideas:
BFG T/A KO all terrain tires (sized based on questions above)
KYB or Bilstein struts for front
KYB or Bilstein shocks for rear
Demello light bar with a pair of good lights
I...
DOH!!!
KC, I know Scott and I are hoarding some pics until Scott figures out which ones will be going into an article. Hopefully we'll get a few posted up soon.
Fun pics! Very cool to see Kyle's scrambler back in action :beer:
So did the new neighbor thank you guys afterwards? Or did you end up with your house TP'd ?
We had a great time! It was good to meet lots of new friends.
Lance, very sorry to hear about the hardware failures. I agree that 4wheelers will likely take care of the problem asap. I remember watching that suspension work (from the drivers side) as Nathan was driving through that last...
Great report Ron. That pic of your family all smiles is just priceless! Glad you made it out okay. I have to chuckle thinking of you (big dood) scaling a telephone pole... ;) LOL
