    What do you really NEED for overlanding

    I spend around 50-60 nights out a year. Mostly solo, mostly remote and the ONLY things you need is what makes YOU comfortable. I carry a lot of stuff to keep me happy but I meet people in the most remote areas with very little and they are comfortable, take on the personal responsibility to...

    Key piece of gear for Bear Country.

    I added an air horn to my bear arsenal as its proved effective in the past. Most bear spray is said to be good at 10-15' but when you consider a bear can run at ~35mph or 50' a second I dont like the timing needed.

    Any news on when ARB's new 'JACK' will be available in US?

    Hi-Lift or the new ARB jack is arguably one of the most unsafe ways to service or change a tire. Another obvious down fall IMO is its not mechanical and add in the suggested cost I cant see any reason to own one. A factory Toyota jack with an Jack Adapter is a much more reliable and safe way to...

    Mounting semi-flex panels

    I have been using VHB tape mounted to aluminum without issue for several years. I have replace the panel once and yes VHB is the worst to remove. I called 3M tech on how to remove VHB and they offered no help stating its meant to be permanent.

    Recovery Equipment Recommendations

    Airing down is your first and best line of defense to avoid getting stuck in the first place. With the size and weight of your vehicle I would go with a Kinetic rope not a strap. A quality kinetic rope has 33% stretch where the same quality strap yields 20%. The difference could mean getting out...

    You want to have cash in hand and be fast. I have been known to buy and sell, a month ago I sold a clean locked LX. I posted it at 5PM within an hour I had a verbal and the buyer was at our airport at 8am the next morning. I could of sold it 20 times for full price within 24hours. Find one that...

    How many here completely trust their LC 80's?

    A picture of most of the places my 80 series has taken me (mostly solo) the past 2 years. My rule/goal is to never opened my hood once I leave my home base. The only time someone will see me under my 80 is to disconnect the swaybar :sombrero:
