At 2:15 Pacific Time, Amazon is having a "Lightning Deal" on: Hella H12560031 Rallye 4000 Series 12V/100W Black Euro Beam Halogen Lamp with Position Lamp. The link for the lamps is here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002M9SUO but the Lightning Deals show up on this page...

One of the coolest things about a MogFest is the chance to get the official T-shirt and look the business. If you'd like one or more from last weekend's SoCal event, here's the information from Tony's Moglist post.

There are a lot of advantages to being able to air condition a camper cabin using battery power. In fact, I can do it--for just an hour or two--in my Sprinter with a small AC and over 600 amp-hours of AGM batteries. A lot of cost for a fairly modest accomplishment. But if you'd like to have a...

The Portal's oft-referenced credo--"It's not the vehicle that makes the difference, it's the adventure"--seems to make it appropriate to cite the current availability of Tatoosh, accidental zillionaire Paul Allen's smaller yacht, which is now on the resale market. This is semi-old news, since it...

Veteran Mogger Alan Draper posted on the Moglist the details of the upcoming Mogfest to be held in five weeks at Truckhaven near the Salton Sea. Note that it's historically been pretty easy for non-owners to show up at these Mogfests and get good trail rides from the friendly participants...

Very Newest News: CamperMog now has a post-expo life as the Motofish CoffeeMog, selling gourmet coffee and other treats as a mobile food truck in the Seattle area. A very unusual ending for a near forty-year-old truck first deployed out of Eindhoven fixing signal towers for the Netherlands Train...

Sold shortly after posting. Thanks. Turns out I have no need for the uberserious Wabbit's Foot Hi-Lift Jack base that I bought a while back. Never used and shiny as when it left WabFab. Half-priced at $30 + a bargain flat $10 shipping from Portland to the rest of the continental US. Send me a...

I was over at the Unimog Exchange for another reason and came across this: Probably missing many of the goodies (like hydraulics and VarioPilot) that gave the others $150K+ MSRPs, and there's no mention of the condition. Figured it was worth mentioning, though.

From Dealnews.com . . . Today only, MidnightBox.com offers Microsoft Streets & Trips 2009 for Windows with GPS Locator, model no. ZV3-00019, for $19.95 with $3.99 for shipping. That's $16 under our November mention and the lowest total price we could find now by $16. This bundle features a...

It's once again time for the M-Bz Sprinter van to have it's day in the sun/rain. The fifth annual Sprinterfest will be held on Saturday, April 17th in Tualatin, OR, a few miles south of Portland just off I-5. They'll be a wide variety of Sprinter rigs, from work trucks to campers and motorhomes...

Stumbled across this: http://www.amazon.com/Sunforce-50044-60-Watt-Solar-Charging/dp/B000CIADLG/ref=pd_bxgy_auto_img_a Seems to be well-regarded with 4+ stars across 68 reviewers, and it's half of list price according to Amazon. Interesting in that it includes the regulator, an inverter, the...

Well, the ex-Expeditions West/Trail Monkey Tacoma made it safely into my possession, but I can't get it through emissions testing. It didn't fail; it can't be tested because two of the sensors aren't reporting. Hooking up the Wrangler's Scangauge verified the "Not Ready" condition. As...

On the Sprinter Source forum, a gentleman posted a lot of nice pictures of his short-wheelbase Sprinter in various exotic locations, such as: The thread is here: http://sprinter-source.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9923. Since we don't have practical access to 4x4 Sprinters in the US and...

O.K., let me point out I'm no expert in photography, and I also have no idea if this is worthy of bandwidth, or has been posted here before, or has been posted everywhere before. NEVERTHELESS . . . I just got this link sent to me and it struck me as pretty freakin' trick. Turns out that this...

I was getting ready to mount my axe and shovel to the roof rack on the EarthRoamer Jeep using the Warrior Products mount I had. However, for some reason it occurred to me that the mount could be equally well bolted through the fender of the JK, like this: I'm not worried about security of the...

I'm an equal opportunity sort of guy, and while I've had good success with Toyota products and am thinking about Yet Another Cruiser, I would like to know if there are Range Rovers in, say, the '95-'05 years that I should be considering. Not to sound critical about something I don't know too...

I just stumbled across a "lightning deal" at Amazon.com for the Deltran Battery Tender 12V 2-Bank Battery Management System. This is basically two independent Battery Tenders in one case. These things are sophisticated enough to keep a charge on AGM batteries as well as flooded cells. Good thing...

Amazon has ScanGauge II units for sale for $140 with free shipping. That's $30 less than their "almost everywhere else" price. No indication of how long this deal will last...

Seems like those of us interested in the GRTravelTop from South Africa are hard at work hijacking the JK/J8 Flippac thread, so it seems worthwhile to start a new thread. Indeed, if the company follows through on its intention to market in the United States, they'll likely be much to talk about...

. . . Thailand bhat (about $59K). ;) Details here: http://classifieds.thaivisa.com:80/automotives-vehicles/cars/expedition-4x4-camper-mercedes-unimog-u1300l-1980-30794.html Didn't seem worth posting up in the For Sale section (being in Thailand and all), but this is certainly an archetypal...
