    Meindl Desert Fox boots for overland use

    Same here. I have a narrow heal, medium to narrow foot and medium instep and they damn near fit me like a custom pair of boots. Larger volume feet need not apply though :ylsmoke: I also have a couple pair of desert mil type Oakley's (Sabot mid and Sabot 2.0) that are proving to be very...

    Death Valley Wander 2011

    Nice photos and write up! Crazy about the bat! Dual density filter on some of those cloud/landscape shots? Of recent years the fewest people I've seen in DV, specifically at Saline Springs, was in mid-September a few years ago. 115* during the day keeps some folks away!

    Brie is best when paired with ...

    Brie + dried cranberries + chopped raw pecans + caramel sauce over the top + 15-minutes in a 350* oven. Crazy good with toasted crostini. Triple cream is even better.

    STOPTECH needs a Land Cruiser

    Versa visa :coffeedrink:. Fronts are on...rears supposedly are in the design stage of development. Yes...they are now looking for a 200-Series candidate. FWIW: The Stoptech Front Big Brake Kit for my 100 was one of if not the most dramatic improvements I've made to date. Phenomenal...

    Water storage opinion

    I had a buddy that is a sheet metal fabricator build a stainless steel tank for me to my design. Mine happens to hold 15-gallons but its just a dimensional thing for more or less. Mine is about 5" x 20" x 45" and sits flat in the second row of my LC (removed the seats). Then I strap three...

    Securing a Propane Tank to the Outside of a Trailer

    I fabbed a locking bracket for my 6lb Worthington propane tank. It was a relatively easy and affordable project. Especially considering there isn't anything out there pre-made that suited me. Get yourself some 1.5" x 1/8" flat stock, cold work it around the tank circumference (or have a metal...

    Could I be happy with an 80 ???

    The big trick, if you decide an 80 is for you, is finding one with lower miles that's been taken care of/maintained. Even early 100's are getting difficult to find with <100k miles.

    Partner Steel 18" or 22"?

    My 22" dual burner PS stove measures (taken at the lid): 22-3/8"L x 12-1/2"W x 3-11/16"H. I've owned both the 18" and now the 22" dual burner PS stove. The 22" has proven to be valuable for serious cooking...and cooking for more than just a couple hungry mouths ;). The windscreen, by its...

    Comfort of a RTT mattress!

    We tried a memory foam 2" mattress topper from Costco a few years ago and it turned brick hard at Coyote Flats in September. Not sure what the ambient temp was but it was below freezing. That was enough for me and back to Costco it went.

    Comfort of a RTT mattress!

    We have an excellent overstock fabric store here in Reno. They do have a very good selection of foam however we found more suitable choices at a local handmade mattress shop. Most decent size cities have locally made mattress shops...give them a visit along with checking out what might be...

    Roof top tents.

    Meat Grinder: How to buy?

    I like, on all but their least expensive unit, their new Big Bite special auger! When grinding right to sausage that would be super for those times your SO has something better to do than help you make sausage :coffeedrink:
