So if you ran Box downhill, how is it that Chuck ran it with you? Wouldn't you have done that first, and then on to the cabins? Or did you run the top end downhill to the turn-off, and Chuck continued out through the narrow parts? Sad to hear about the blue paint. So the night-marish rumors...

BTW, I notice that Engel has a new 80 litre model available now or very soon... The MT80F and I guess they will also make a unit with separate fridge and freezer compartments, the MT80F-C COMBI. Pretty cool! :cool: (pun intended) The MT80F-C is noted in their ad in the latest Australian 4WD...

NICE!!! :jumping: Careful saying that, you might get a lot of requests to "smuggle" 4x4 goodies :D Hmmm... well, unless you need the extra volume to run air tools I'm not sure there is much benefit over a one or two gallon tank. A small tank will be enough to run air lockers without the...

Welcome to the forum :beer: Sweet TLC and that buggy is way cool. You are lucky to be involved with the races! :ylsmoke:

The tickets to Australia are definitely nice :) I imagine shipping costs will be an eye opener if it is anything that you can't bring back on the plane with you. :Wow1: Since you are going to put the tire on the bumper, I would definitely get the frame reinforcement like Scott has. Is...

I have used the LF 170's and loved them. Awesome lights. As far as actual light output goes, I mounted one side by side with a 6" KC 100w round light, and the LF was barely brighter. Same wattage bulbs, so my guess is that the slightly larger reflector, and the reflector construction on the LF...

Dang! and I just gave mine away only a few weeks ago. No kidding.

BM, yea, I would be concerned about the heat too if you were running that inverter at it's upper limits. I think some fans like Graham has used would be in order. BTW Graham, those boxes are sweet! Coffee in the morning? How about a good old fashioned french press or filter cone? Makes the...

That is a lot of stuff! Have fun :clapsmile

Wil, what are you plans for the spare tire? I am of the opinion that if you can keep that fuel storage low, and between the frame rails, you will be better off. But the question of tire storage comes into play.

Well, since I have to work today, I figured I would get a thread going for when you guys get back. This is one of my all-time favorite trails and I can't wait to hear a report from you guys! Hopefully you survived the switchbacks ok. :jumping:

Hey man, we were honored to have such a special guest from so far away. Thanks for taking the time out to come and play with us. It was a great pleasure to finally meet you in person. And a nice T-100! :beer: :beer: :beer:

Wow - you are my stove hero! :bowdown: :bowdown: A stove for every need. Now you got me going...

:jumping: :victory: :jumping:

I have used roof mounted lights with good success. I think it just depends on the vehicle and the lights. As Jonathan mentioned, if the lights are mounted far enough back on the roof, the glare is not a problem. It can be a huge problem if you get the light beam washing anywhere between the...

NICE!! Scott and I were discussing water storage not too long ago, and I suggested keeping the potable water storage separate from the shower/wash water. Often you will find sources for shower/wash water that you aren't that crazy about drinking. It's nice to be able to take advantage of these...

NICE! Thanks for posting the review! :beer: I have been wanting to play with one of those, so this helps satisfy my curiosities.

Wow, that is a great pic Justin. Nice!

Pretty sweet stove 4 sure. I wouldn't mind trying one of those out. I know what you mean about the coffee. It's another "trade off", one of many the expedition traveler must face on occasion :). I'd like to have a dual burner for short, non-technical trips where weight isn't that big of a deal...

DOH! Notice: I just realized that I forgot to give credit where credit is due. I added a note to the photo gallery page on my website to thank KC and Scott for their contributions. Scott took that first pic of my truck, and KC took all of the sand course photos. Sorry about that guys! :o
