Hey Wen!! :wavey: Too cool that you are actually posting up here on ExPo. A HUGE welcome and a :beer: for you too. I was laughin my ******** off at your beetle story - very good description of what was going on :p I could totally see Wil doing that with the mic... :xxrotflma Sorry I missed the...

On my Toyota tacoma, the stock intake is inside the right fender. This is probably in a bow-wake safe zone in most situations, but I don't see any good reason not to relocate it to a higher position, especially if ARB makes a bolt-on part that fits the truck perfectly. In the event of a deep...

I think it's kind of one of those "signature" expedition mods. Yes, to reduce glare, and a pretty cool look to it. However, I would think the benefit wouldn't override the drawback for a rig that will see lots of sunny days with high temps - it would make the heat trapped in the engine bay much...

Kristina, that is a great closing to a great blog. The bottom of your heart touched the page! :clapsmile

I have a Word doc that is about 52kb. I can't attach it, so I will email it to Scott. Scott gave me his list a while ago, and I used that as a platform to make my list (thanks Scott!). It is a "unisex" list, so for those of you that want to make sure I brought my skirts and panties like I have...

DD, you mentioned putting a 31 in the same spot. Where are you referring to? I currently have one in the stock location, so it will work in that spot (at least on the 98-04) but requires a new hold-down bracket and longer cables. Also, you mentioned the stock tray for the Tacoma, but my '98 does...

Excellent tips and very easy to do. Thank you :)

Yes, just connecting the two together for 12VDC but twice the AH. Any reason not to do that with the AGM type batteries we are talking about (Lifeline, Odyssey)?

Robb, I think if you follows Scott's method for calculating your loads for a 24 hour period, like this ... and then use my calculations in this post to determine how much battery and solar capacity you need, you will be able to figure it out. Scott, I think since you already have a nice...

Congrats Doug! :jumping: :clapsmile :luxhello: :beer:

AHA! I was just asking Scott not too long ago if he knew what you ended up doing/deciding on. This is pretty wild! It sounds/looks very fun. "One thing I didn't make clear on the web site is that we are planning to move the rear axle back 12-18" by lengthening the frame. " I was wondering...

Thanks Aaron, it should be fun. I will go ahead and keep this in "completed" just in case someone wants to take you up your idea for a nice little weekend trip sometime in the future.

You are very welcome! Feel free to lock this one up and start a "post-trip" thread if you so desire. We have all really enjoyed the great correspondence that you and Kristina took the time to share with us all. Thanks Dude :ylsmoke:

I am going to lock this and move to the "completed" section. Feel free to post a report or let me know if you need this to be moved/re-opened for 2007. Thanks :)

Scott, shall I lock this one and move it? You can start a trip report? :) ...with pics? :)

I am going to go ahead and move this thread to "completed expeditions". :beer:

How did it go Aaron? Shall I move this to "completed" or are you still planning on another weekend?

Scott was trying to convince us the other day that chocolate chip cookies are a bonafide "salad" food. He noted how many of the ingredients are derived from plant life. :rolleyes:

Thanks Robb, I would only get as large as the group 31, which for Odyssey is at 105AH. (My Optima is 75AH). So that is a 40% increase, which would be nice. Scott, definitely let us know what you find out. I can't afford to get solar (would rather get new seats first), but I am interested...

Thanks for the tip :)
