    Triple Aught Design

    Yes, I have. And I got it bad. Their attention to detail in their American made products is unparalleled. Recently they had a problem with a lock stitch on a coin pocket. They notified purchasers and recalled the product to repair the defect and pulled items from the shelf to make the mend...

    No other opinions? Really?

    Netbook vs. iPad...

    ...ugh, my brain hurts. Have searched the threads on these subjects but can't establish in my mind a clear winner for communication (email, internet; wiFi or cellular) and with the ability to use GPS software and antenna while mounted in my truck. Nor am I tech savvy enough to crack the code...

    Doc's 05 Tacoma Build Thread

    Looks good Dave. Now put some thermo-nuclear bass things in the Flip-Pac for the full in-yo-face effect. :sombrero:

    Project Serenity: an 08 Tacoma DC overland build-up

    Wow. A reader steps away from his PC for 24 hours and look what happens... You do excellent work. Very creative, elegantly simple solutions and with a high level of craftsmanship. Your build says, "I know. We're going for a ride." Must be some relation to the Tam family. ;) Thanks for...

    Building My Overland Tacoma: Plans, Progress, Perplexions

    Looks good - is it light weight? How did you secure it?

    Project Serenity: an 08 Tacoma DC overland build-up

    Well thought-out build! Got some more pictures of your enhancements? Like to learn more about your navigation system/laptop. OBTW, for your reference, I'm thinking of an auxiliary fuel tank too and the XJ tank (20 gal) does fit between my gen's frame rails with about an inch clearance. But...

    My new (to me) FJ40!!

    Very nice! Two things from your post though... 1. NEVER count the money you've spent; 2. KEEP the wife.

    Where/how often do you shower?

    Some of us take preparations for evacuation a little more seriously than others...

    Shower Room, Privy, etc..what do you use?

    DUH! Anything with 'Outback' printed on it is worth at least $20 more. :sombrero:

    A-ha! Kudo's to the photographer for catching it in mid-air!:bike_rider:

    Big THANK YOU to the Hollister Overland team!

    From the pictures perspective your tires seem to have little to no deformation over the rocks. But if your kidneys weren't bleeding after that trail run then it must work good for you. I usually take mine down to 12-15. Murphy's Law of Off-roading, Lesson #32 - Always air-down - just when you...

    Better fuel economy for FJ62?

    I was going to be a wise guy and suggest a 4BT... Diesel engine swap. The 1HZ is a Toyota diesel engine and parts are not readily available. The former is a Cummins and commonly found in the US... you hear them daily in bread or delivery trucks. But both engines are simple, durable, and have...

    Big THANK YOU to the Hollister Overland team!

    Just curious... what air pressure were you running in your tires over these obstacles?

    Us&s m1911 a1

    There is no finer example of elegant, simple engineering in its most enduring form. Indeed a sterling addition to any collection but with the added advantage that it can still be used. :drool: To round out that pistol and holster you require a campaign hat and some nice gabardine jodphurs...

    Para Cord Belt

    No, but tell us how to make one with 2 rings for a keeper and I'll be your buddy.

    Shower Room, Privy, etc..what do you use?

    I use the Outback Porta-privy too. My selection criteria was the same as yours and it has lived up to its claims - very easy to set up and stow. I'm 6'1" so plenty of height and enough room to maneuver inside.
