Wow - that was cool! Was that Schott's UZJ100 that I saw on the poop-chute near Martinez canyon?

EDIT - ok, nevermind. I figured it out. You cannot save the file to your computer and try and play it - it has to be played on the website by clicking on the link.

dang, I can't get it to play.

Excellent news! Enquiring minds want to know! :lurk:

One problem I see with that FTX is the "chop top" and the 2-story tall front end. Visibility must be awful, don't you think?

Uwe, I think I had sent you an email at one time... but I ended up with the Singing Rock "Balance" harness which was very affordable, has the padded loops, and the "rock n' lock" buckles. It looks very well made.

Yea, I have seen them quite some time ago I think. I had forgotten all about them. Seems like a pretty cool option if you have the room for it. Without coils, it will add extra "non-working" volume to the box, so the compressor will have to run more. Something to keep in mind if parked.

Pete, you could use solar alone to charge an aux. battery, but I think you would really be limiting the potential return on your battery investment quite a bit. By not connecting it to the vehicle's charging system, you will miss out on the opportunity (every time you drive the truck) for a...

I have to agree with Vince. He makes a good point about the size. For trips any longer than a weekend (esp. for two or more people), the 50-60L units are really nice to have, as you don't have to be so scrupulous and logical about what you fill the fridge with. The extra volume can even be...

:smileeek:

Awesome pics!!! Thanks for putting them up ;) Don't get me started on the bike thing... I just met Andy Grider yesterday. Talk about getting psyched up to want to go ride across the middle of nowhere on a motorcycle... I was talking to him about his recent 3rd overall in the Tunisia Rally...

Thanks for the replies. That tent sounds nice! I have definitely eyeballed them on the web for some time, but never had a chance to get an opinion from an owner who had put it through the paces. Ahhh yes, the fridge. That has to be one of my all-time favorite additions. Can't beat it :D...

Hey Chad, I have been reading your website and enjoying the pics very much. You have some great travel narratives in there! (That is how I knew to add the two vietnamese coffee makers to the expedition supplies list :p ) My wife and I use the ol' french press all the time, but I want to try your...

Hello and welcome! Looks like you enjoy a bit of Baja every now and then :cool: :eek: NICE Land Cruiser !!! :Wow1: Looks like you have plenty of goodies there to keep you smiling all the way "there" and back, wherever "there" may be. I love it. Are you the original owner? Over what kind...

I guess the Nevada Trophy got you used to the idea of flying your Tacoma, eh? :D

Mmmm.... good food. Good idea! :eatchicke Looking forward to more details and stories unfolding here. :lurk:

Wow, hey Kevin - you got me interested in checking on Marlin to see if they by any chance came up with a replacement case for the Tacoma and they did. Well, sort of... it is simply an older 4-cyl. gear driven t-case that is mated to their adapter. So that option is available, but due to the cost...

Hi Roseann, have you heard any more on this lately? It is easy for me to just "hope" that this is another project that will exist only in people's minds, and not on the desert floor. But some of the indicators that you mention, and also in the article, might suggest otherwise. It seems like...

That is a great consideration. However, unless something has changed that I am not aware of, there are no re-geared Tacoma t-cases available. the T-case for the Tacomas are chain-driven (not gear-driven) and as a result there is no clearance to re-gear them. Hence, the popularity of the...

I have no idea what the situation with the oil in the box could be from. Unless maybe he had an oiled filter (K&N type) in there and took it out? Are you using the OEM paper filter? The crankcase vent is not connected, so can't be that. Hmmm... I would just clean it all out and keep an eye on...
