Wil, I'd start with your requirements and that might help lead you to which is better for you. Some questions: - Do you want to remove it from the truck for hikes/walkabouts? - Is ability for a co-pilot to easily use it important? - How much information (track logs, waypoints, etc...) would...

My truck is currently in the shop and I'm having trouble getting an accurate measurement. What I'm looking for is the width between the roof gutters. Not the absolute width (which I think include the wheel flares), but just how wide a rack would be if mounted directly to the roof gutters...

Normally I aspire to the "if you don't have anything nice to say..." attitude, but when they start chopping at the branches of a living tree just because it might hit their lights up top, I gotta call 'lame'.

Has anyone tried the waffleboards? I'm curious about them as well. Something like http://www.devon4x4.com/shop.php?mode=productview&product=290

I'd be hesitant. I don't like manufacturers that stretch the truth. this card is written as 150X when that is really just the read speed (a mostly useless stat for a mainly recording device). It's actually 118X for the write (1X is 152Mb/sec). I've had great luck with the Transcend line of...

Looks neat, but kinda too hightech for what's needed. I've got a fuel pump mounted to the frame and a line going back to the main tank from the aux. When my main tank gets low, I flip the switch and it all transfers. Then I shut it off. Not elegant, but I can change any part out in the field...

Thanks for the additional picture, Aaron, that helps a lot. Do you just fold up the canvas and then roll it up? How do the poles fold into the unit?

That thread had just what I was looking for (but couldn't seem to find in my own search :) ) I like two bags mentioned and while it's not a lot of money, I might see if I can get something made up State side and give a local shop some work. My Dad gets a lot of canvas boat work done and I'm...

This is where they all live when in the mountains Was that Ireland car going off a cliff sign from the Dingle Penninsula?

Don't worry, the Women's bathroom had bad weather also

It looks like you have to fold up the canvas to get it all back in. Or is it on some kind of retractable device? And on thier site they show it in blue (yuck). Yours looks grey, is that about right? How long does it take to deploy and put back?

I like the backpack onthe rear tire idea, that way it won't get ripped by trees. And a heavier bag would help. I have a drybag and tried that once but it was kinda bulky. Planning is key, but for weekend/3 day trips we don't always spend a lot of time pre-preparing stuff as it takes as...

Keeping up with my line of storage thread... :) .... I've struggled from time to time with a good system for storing trash on the trail. Usually the plastic bag works fine but I'm one of those guys who in the past has been known to drink a good number of bottles of liquid type refreshments. So...

Nice looking FJ!! welcome!

Good info. Have him check again in the summer. I'd be curious to see the difference.

Great idea Jonathan. Can I ask what something like that cost to have fabbed up? I know each region is different, but a ball park would give me an idea how far my imagination could go.

Thanks for the pointers. I might take you up on the offer Graham, but I need to figure out the floor space first. That other site has exactly what I want as far as additional fuel tans, but when I filled out the "Contact Us" I got a bounce for their info@ address. :(

something like this

What about those webbed backpack security nets? Can you maybe sew that into the inside of it somehow, so that goes around the tire first, gets secured, and the cover is on last, permanently attached to the web?

I can't seem to find just what I'm looking for in search. I'm looking at designing out the back of my 110 from scratch, which is a nice prospect. Onboard water is a concern. I want to just lay something across the wheel wells (using the space underneath for recovery gear/tools/spares and heavy...
