I have never tried dry ice but would like to try it. Maybe have 2 ice chests; one with dry ice and things frozen solid and the other with H20 ice? Are there any issues with off gassing CO2 inside a vehicle? I doubt it with flow thru ventilation etc.

The first time I plugged a tire I did it in the driveway at home to test my kit and learn how to do it properly.

I keep thinking what a 4x4 Sportsmoblie would be like compared to my old VW van with 50hp.

I'd stay with the Toyota for reliability reasons. What year(s) VW vans are you looking at? How often would you use it? You could get a tent for overflow campers. Having an extra vehicle means more maintenance and insurance. I've had several VW's and one 1970 van that was great for camping...

I found a site a while ago that listed old and or abandoned airfields around the country. It was pretty interesting. In NV there were several emergency landing strips on dry lakes for test aircraft etc.

Nice but a regular cab has space limitations for sure. I wish the TRD Tundras had a rear locker like the Tacomas.

Around town on weekends I use my rack to haul lumber, fence boards, pipe, re-bar, bags of planter mix and steer manure and anything that won't fit in the back of the H3. On long expo trips I carry shovel, gas, water, firewood, folding chairs, folding table and Action Packers. The problem...

I love the older Willys Jeeps too. Ask yourself these questions: Are you a good mechanic and fabricator? What is your budget? How much time do you want to invest in the project? Do you want to work on it or drive it? No hard feelings Jeep folks. I get sentimental every day but if you really...

Have you had the tires in the dirt, rocks or sand yet? Has anyone seen a road test of these tires?

I have free standing dome tent(s) which doen't require stakes except to hold it down. I made some tent stakes using 12" metal spikes (like giant nails) and put a "J" on the end. If the ground is loose I put a rock on top of the stakes If I can't put stakes in the ground I put heavy gear...

Looks great how long was the exposure? 30 seconds?

I use a soft red nylon bag/pouch for the main first aid kit and then have a small one with band aids for minor cuts etc. A portable kit is good is good in case you have to take it to the injured person.

Good work. Nice and simple and the famous gray carpeting :)

3/4" would be plenty soild but heavy. Make it easy to remove if you are going to need the vehicle to haul stuff. I'd make a prototype before going all out with good lumber, hardware, paint and carpet etc. Post up some pictures when you are done.

Have you thought about the JK 4-door?

What vehicle are you planning on putting them on?

After having endured older Jeeps and other vehicles etc I have decided that a comfortable semi quiet vehicle is a great thing on long trips. Good brakes and steering and less road and engine noise are a good thing in my book. I think electronic gadgets controling transfercase, etc. should be...

Those dogs know where to sleep:)

The Euro bumper keeps some of the mud and water from the front tires splashing forward ahead of the vehicle.

They are trying to keep the costs down. Leather timmed seats seats are an option on Sahara and Rubicon models according to the 2010 brochure. I think Leather or vinyl seats are the way to go. They may be hot but at least you can clean them off with a damp towel.
