    Suburban vs Suburban, which rig to choose? PICS ADDED

    My 1991 5.7 TBI had 300k miles on it when I sold it last year and was still reliable. Good power too but I had the 5spd mannie. My 99 vortec had almost 200k miles on it and I had to have the intake gaskets done 3 times over that time period. That was with yearly coolant flushes Sent from my...

    The 10 Year Commitment

    I own an FJ and it's great for two people but no more with gear. PM Austintaco for some pics of his taco with a flippac shell. It's perfect for what you are wanting. Really cool truck. He said he can have it completely set up in 2 min. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Possibly in the market for a disco

    As the former owner of an 04 D2 that committed suicide, I'd stay with a nice D1. They just seem to be better built. I do miss mine though. Discos remind me of a gorgeous British woman that you meet and are totally enthralled with. She's quiet and pays attention to your every word and...

    The proper way to introduce a new spouse to the idea of family adventure planning

    I'd start out with a couple of day hikes in a scenic area, then graduate to camping in a state park with nice restroom and shower facilities. Plan a good menu so she realizes camping isn't just granola and cliff bars. You might even consider renting a pop up for a weekend. When she's...

    Sankey Tent Trailer

    Wow! Arlo you do amazing work. That thing is an expo-castle. I like this! I like this! I like this! I had a friend while growing up whose grandfather was a machinist in Germany pre-WWII. He said during his apprenticeship, they were given a block of iron about 1/2" oversize, and a file. He...

    Spring Relocation Cones or Spring Retainers

    That's completely wrong man! It's one size fits all and my stuff is much better than yours. Ask almost anyone on here.(:)) Just kidding guys. Some of these popcorn threads crack me up. I kind of miss it. The FJ discussions aren't quite as dicey as the Rover ones. On the flip side, I no...

    Hey Man! The wife and I will be in Az on an upcoming trip March 16-23 and we will be basing in the area around Sedona. I'd like to come by the offices in Prescott and meet you all sometime during that week. Perhaps we can grab a Yeti Stout or 3? This will be our first time in the area, so...

    Cargo Boxes - Why you do. Why you don't

    The only thing keeping us from going this route is the cost and durability of the box. It would kill me to spend a lot on a box and have a tree limb kill it. I'm actually working on a design that will cost a bit to build, but should be waterproof and more durable than plastic or fiberglass...

    D2 traction control VS CDL being locked

    I had an 04 D2 with a cdl. I can tell you from many hours of off road experience in that truck a cdl makes all the difference. On high mountain passes with tight switchback, unlocked using only the TC worked great. In deep mud or twisties I always had to lock the CDL to make it without...

    GPS App recommendation please

    Topo Maps is great! After purchasing the app, map downloads are free. You can get high or low res maps. It accepts kml and gpx files. I use it all the time with my iPhone. I bet it's really cool with an iPad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    My wife just purchased a charcoal grey 2013 Outback. I love it so far. It complements our FJ nicely! Didn't post a pic since its bone stock and everyone knows what they look like. I'm really looking forward to the shakedown cruise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Which Winch? Engo E12000 or Superwinch TS11500

    Look at the Superwinch talon series. Waterproof, crazy fast, and the brake has no heat issues (not in the spool). I got my 9,5 online for $550 shipped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    my recovery gear, tools. plus few 'experienced' high lift jack users opinions please.

    If you are going to be doing ANY solo trips in the boonies go ahead and spring for a winch. 6 months ago I bought a Superwinch Talon 9.5 for $550 and free shipping. It's actually been used more for clearing downed trees on the trail than stuck situations. It's waterproof,strong, and crazy...

    Heavy Duty Bumpers for Expedition/Overland Use: Practical Necessity or Superfluous an

    My Aluminess bumpers have already paid for themselves. On a recent Kiamichi trail trip we were caught in a rain storm which upped the trail rating considerably. Sliding into ruts put each corner into the wall several times. Zero damage. If I would have still been running the stock plastic FJ...
