    More than a tent!

    It's like the African version of a Yurt.

    Durango_60's 07 Rubicon Unlimited Build

    I'm excited for you. I've never been a Jeep guy but I have to say I was very impressed with the new Rubicon when I checked them out. Compared to the old jeeps they are cavernous. I was willing to give it a try myself but the wife has always wanted an Xterra so that is the route we ended up...

    Look what I got the other day!

    Finally got my first winch! I almost bought a mile marker a while ago but decided to wait until I could get a Warn. I ended up going with the M8000. 4Wheel Parts had them for $525, not bad. Since I got the winch I decided it was a good time to pick up a new battery. I was going to get an...

    Lifting an Xreas 4runner

    Thanks for the replies. I'll have to read through the links then pass this on to him. I'll let you know what he decides to do. I think he'll be happier with the OME suspension but he has mentioned just going with a spacer lift so he can keep the Xreas since he really likes that. I've never...

    Lifting an Xreas 4runner

    So my neighbor has an 06 4Runner Sport with the Xreas suspension. He is getting jealous of my tacoma, so he says, so he wants to add an OME suspension lift, sliders and ARB or Shrocks bumper. I told him I'd help him out with that! Anyway I am not very familiar with the 4th Gen 4Runners and...

    Jayco, Starcraft, Fleetwood vs. Adventure Trailer, Kimberly Kamper, etc.

    Cool looking camper. Does it really weigh 2500lbs? How long does it take to set all that up? Any issues with critters getting into your kitchen area? I imagine you need to secure everything at night since there is no floor on the tent. I've looked at those but the price is keeping me away...

    Jayco, Starcraft, Fleetwood vs. Adventure Trailer, Kimberly Kamper, etc.

    That is awesome and congratulations! I went a similar route back in 2001 with a fleetwood popup camper. Unfortunately they did not have the evolution at that time. I think those types of campers are great. Yes while they can not go where an AT can go they are extremely comfortable and most...

    2000 Taco needs a Tonneau cover

    Welcome. Yes lets see some pics of your truck. While some people do like the hard tonneau you may want to just consider a shell. The hard cover will take away your ability to carry anything taller then about 18". A shell will be just as secure and much more versatile. Or you can go the...

    Fridge/Freezer Question

    Thanks for the reply. Right now I'm looking at the Engle MT45 or the Norcold MRFT 40, basically the same product, and both are 20" in height. But never have used one I'm not sure how much room I will have to open the fridge if I mount it on top of the folded seat. That may be my best option...

    Fridge/Freezer Question

    Okay so I got some cash and get to do a little shopping! After I go get my new battery and winch tomorrow, I'm seriously thinking of getting a fridge/freezer, Norcold or Engle. I need to be able to move it between my Tacoma Dbl Cab the the Xterra. The Xterra is easy, dedicated factory 12v...

    Shower and toilet enclosure thread

    The floor is made of the same material as the sides. I've never used it but I believe it is attached using simple velcro connections. I would just wear sandals or use one of those folding wood floors instead of the one it comes with. There is a space to run a shower head in from the outside...

    BFG Rugged Trail T/A

    I agree that the mud/snow traction is not as good as the BFG A/T's. The tread on that tire, or most other AT tires, is much more aggressive and will undoubtably give you better traction in those conditions. Howver I have found the Rugged Trail to do just fine in the 7 weeks of snow we have...

    Shower and toilet enclosure thread

    I use the OUTBACK unit. I love it. Nothing to put together it practically sets itself up and is very compact and light weight. The guy lines hold it down nice but if it is windy I recommend using the sand bags that come with it. It also comes with a removable floor. Sportsmans Warehouse has...

    BFG Rugged Trail T/A

    I agree with the above. They also came standard on the Xterra we just bought. I'll keep them on for 20k miles or so then switch them out. My biggest concern with them is the side wall stength. The ones on the Tacomas are a P rated tire, not LT. With my Tacoma my solution was to not rotate...

    Your worst "stucks" and how you got out

    My neighbors worst stuck! September 2004 during our annual neighborhood Labor Day camping trip. We were camping up at Leadville CO and did the Mosquito Pass trail in the morning. About 1530 hrs my neighbor and his wife decide to go back into the area alone to just drive some of the "easy"...

    Building an expedition-worthy 06 Tacoma

    I just checked out some of your photos on your website, cool pics. Is that your dog, the white Husky? If so it could be the twin of my dog!
