This Mobile Observatory is now in south-Central Mass., soon heading toward Vermont and then into Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

An LC40 guy here is town has the Skids and Sliders powered-coated the same color as the truck, which is astrobright green. Mine are covered in Owyhee & Bennett hills dust so often then should be painted that color. You didn't indicate the type of vehicle, so I hope I don't offend; but there is...

Yesterday, I needed to grab a tool sack out of the back of the Forester, and re-discovered the tray above the spare. With a little modification, it could be used as a day-use tray. Glue it to a thin plywood panel, Strap loops, Velcro tie-downs. Just a thought. DcG

Morning ALL - Here are three photos of the Mobile Observatory. They depart on Friday staying local in Ohio for the first stop. Issues with getting photos posted, The above link will take you to their photos page on the website. David

Bad fishing! You have to travel to great fishing. There are places up there which can be fished, but I got use to avoiding them, and moved to Idaho. DCG

When Traveling by Air on Commercial Airliner - A LOCKED "Stormcase iM2727" - I have two of them, one for video camera, lenses, boom, slider, travel rail. The 2nd is for Film & Digital Camera bodies, lenses, tri-pod, and mono-pod. When traveling in the Subaru Forester, or Toyota LandCruiser - I...

I'd check that owners manual of the truck, you're not going to get a very large camper, on that light of truck. However you'll be able to pull a 25' fully self-contained trailer without issue. Another option would be the "FourWheelCamper" fold down. When not in use, you simply folded it up...

First and foremost - pull a carfacts report. open the engine compartment - if it's dirty, sign of, lack of maintainance. We bought a very clean 2006 Forester, which I've put 50K on over two years. Driven hard: on Idaho roads, by-ways, and dirt roads. TIRES, Rugged all-season Radials. It now...

Hello All - I'm giving all of us, in the US and Canada; a little advanced notice. Ben and Kat Davidson, of SuspiciousObservers will be launching a year long US and Canada travel. Taking this rolling Lab with them. They might need our skills, help, etc. Please go out to their web-site and read...

Sweet! Out of my price range, and short of what I want to carry... Still looking at IH and Ford COE's...

More Photo's please!, and a Location? DCG - Boise, ID

I too concur. While I have Tundra fever really bad. The FJ62 Series is paid for, and the Subaru Forrester gets 30mpg for everything else. DCG

mk216v, Yeah, that would be nice. However, that post was written in the field, not from the Desktop PC at the house. Hiking a trail, is better than reading about it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

JRose, I send them to you this evening. Don't have them on the iPhone anymore. David

Don, You are correct. Again - I wasn't hating. Just stating my opinion about the balance of $$/to/Purpose. We bought our 88 FJ62 to get us home. We got called lots of names. The wagon now has almost 300K on the OD. It's been wheeled hard and serviced. I know when Arnold S., bought and converted...

Seriously, $85K, I could build several "unstoppable, go anywhere, travel rigs" for that money. I know, it's a 110; however, that's my point. For 85K you could find a low mileage late 1990's-80' series LandCruiser or and early 100 series - send it to TLC, etc,etc, and still have 35K in your...

That Metal "Troop Carrier" Box is manufactured by 3 different companies. 1 here in Boise. You can have a simply box built and added. Or, once you have the truck built to your Spec; have a Camper built to meet your needs. Depends on your, time, energy and $$$. I am really interested in these...

There are 300+ units at BOSS Truck in the UK, I sent them an email seeking their price range, with and w/o shipping to the States. BOSS also has 3 UNIMOG Ambulance/Fire units. Cab's are Roll-caged. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Dave, stay in Austin, TX. If you what it, it can be shipped. Idaho, Montana and Wyoming - is boring country to the grand open spaces of Central Texas... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Went to the grocery store to pickuo stuff for dinner. Spotted a Green 40 with a For Sale sign in the left Corner Window...slowed down to see if it was my old 74. It wasn't. Took a couple photos. There's no phone # on the For Sale sign, and it's not on Craigs List. It does have a full roll...
