    GPS purchase - offer your guidance

    Yea, they are great for their ability out of the vehicle (hand-held) but for what DD is asking for, they won't cut it. Unfortunately, I am not up to speed on all of the details of the latest hard-mount units for vehicle-only use. The Garmin unit does look sweet. I am interested in the stuff...

    Advice wanted on new 4Runner

    Hi Chad As Scott mentioned, I wouldn't be too worried about it. If I were you, I would much rather have that locked axle in there (retro-fit or not) than the original '96 non-locked version. I agree that the seller should have disclosed this, but I think you will be fine. The only thing that...

    Buy a good tent!

    I have kind of an oddball tent that I use primarily for backpacking - but one that some folks might be interested to check out. The thing about these tents that makes them kind of unique is the amount of square footage that you get for the weight required. Very little weight per sq ft. They are...

    An M8000 Warn weighing less than 50lbs.?

    I can really relate to that Scott. Having tried the ARB bumper on my own Tacoma (and the fairly heavy bumper I have now) I think your efforts on this are really worthwhile. And my prediction is that you will end up with good results and probably help a lot of people with low GVWR vehicles in the...

    Utah Cruiser Expedition 2005

    Dave, this does sound like a spectacular trip. I'm envious! You asked for some feedback so I will just toss in a few thoughts. It seems like you have really thought things through and planned well for the fuel, water, gear, etc. One thing that comes to mind is the time-frame and group...

    Nevada Trophy Adventure Race

    Cool - thanks for posting the vid Scott, that was fun! ;) I really wish I could have been there to watch the Defender 110 do the course, but I was already blasting down the road with Team Baja on the way to the lake bed. I bet that was a blast to watch! That guy told me he was either WOT or on...

    Nevada Trophy Adventure Race

    Hi Unsprung I just received word from ORE that there will be no NVTR II for 2005 or 2006. As to whether it is a Trophy challenge, I believe it was just a shorter version (12 hrs I think) of the NVTR.

    Thailand Expedition

    The goal on this trip was to explore some remote areas of northern Thailand by hilux and on foot, visit some rural villiages and people, taste LOTS of different food :D , and also try to visit some unvisted confluences ( see www.confluence.org ). We succeeded in all of those. A bonus was an...
