    1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 Station Wagon

    Beware! I had a Tan, low mile ’72 with the same winch and a/c options for several years during my North Shore Lake Tahoe days as a young man. Bought it used in ’73 from Toyota dealer and it was like new. Back in the day these were not well thought of but I loved it. It was excellent for hauling...

    2015 Tiger 4x4 in Vancouver $155k

    2c ...These are sweet little rigs. Malyan’s feature first class appointments in a small package on a very stout chassis. I’ve seen and talked to several Malyan owners candidly, Tiger owner to Tiger owner. The low use and miles on this one tells me more about the owner than the vehicle. Most are...

    Who makes the best rims?

    New Wrangler Rubicons are fortunate to have a Mopar or AEV wheel option engineered specifically for it IMO. Both offer std. rim or beadlock designs with offsets that keep tires mostly under fenders and in scrub radius spec's. They also utilize the factory lug nuts without the need for narrow...

    SOLD! 2015 Ram 3500 MegaCab Cummins with AEV XL kit & iKamper RTT: Las Vegas

    Beautiful truck, it begs for a minimally equipped FWC. It would be a really fun rig for remote camping, exploring back roads. BTW, I was at KOH camping and enjoyed looking over the race vehicles. But, 50,000 +folks stirring up the dry lake bed dust and racing around in every direction was the...

    22 BS thread

    I have owned a bunch of .22's in my time. A Browning Medalist was one. A Remington P-41 and a slew of Winchesters, favorite being a MDL. 74, just liked the way it loaded in the butt stock. Rugger 10/22 rifle and mk. IV pistol are still under the bed. Wish a brick of .22 shells was still $10 and...

I'm not a fan of the roof racks that weigh 75 lbs. + and RRT's or small cramped back packing tents when car camping.BTW, my...

    Is my Jeep too heavy?

    Back on thread subject. When talking about Wranglers and weight, there is a big difference between a JK vs JL Rubicon in their ability to handle it. Just saying.

    Opinions Solicited USED EarthRoamer? worth the $$

    Haha, I’m not an expert of any thing. I acquiesce to you sir. Thank you for correcting me. I don’t think much about the different models and know very little about them only walked inside. However, I have spoken to owners of each model during my years of ownership and 60,000 miles of travels. I...

    Opinions Solicited USED EarthRoamer? worth the $$

    Info on a Tiger RV is easy to come by, join the Tiger Owner’s Forum, it’s free. My understanding as to why Tiger stopped production of the Bengal and Siberian. 3 Tiger models models just over whelmed their small companies ability to sustain production. BTW, I’ve owned RV trailers, truck campers...
