    Oshkosh P-19 Crash Truck

    ARFF vehicles will go anywhere you want off road. I've driven a P-19 in places that even the most built rock crawling jeep would look at and say f-no. I can only imagine that it would be even better if it's not carrying 8,000 lbs of water, 500 lbs of dry chem, and another few thousand pounds...

    Favorite "silly" little detail on your Land Cruiser?

    Obviously we all have strong feelings one way or another about big things like engines, suspension, axels, diffs, etc. But what is your favorite, or least favorite seemingly inconsequential thing on your Land Cruiser? For me it's the cargo area windows that flare out. My least favorite are...

    Best interior materials????

    high quality equipment grade leather is probably the best possible material for seats. I can imagine it would be VERY expensive though. Obviously not typical automotive seat leather, but the grade of leather they make luggage and motorcycle jackets out of.

    http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=8123287&convertTo=USD So this has gone up for sale. I've spent countless hours driving one of these vehicles and have to say it's one of the most capable off-roading vehicles I've ever seen. It would be absolutely AMAZING to convert one...

    Petition to change 25yr import rules

    Cool uses for medium Pelican cases? 1150 and similar

    I have a Pelican 1150 that needs a new purpose. I just scored a new set of foam for cheap, so I'm starting from scratch. Don't really need a camera case. I saw somewhere somebody that had turned it into a bar set, cut out spaces for bottles, glasses, and bar tools. That's that lead contender...

    1998 Land Cruiser - Dallas, TX - $9,000

    yeah, it's a complicated situation. But honestly, I do love this truck and I will probably be looking for another 100 or.....fingers crossed....a 200, in just a few months. But if it doesn't sell now, it's not a big deal. I don't HAVE to sell, but my life would be a lot easier for a while if...

    1998 Land Cruiser - Dallas, TX - $9,000

    I don't have factory hears or wheels. My uncle owned the vehicle for a few years, not sure of its history before that. I think he's responsible for about 50k miles. I'll post some pictures later today or tomorrow.

    How to make a cheap isolated dual-battery setup for $50

    follow up question, while it may take 12-36 hours of drive time to get to 100%, how variable is the charge rate? Will it, for example, get to 80% in 1 hour, and then take 11 hours for the last 20%? What is the equation that governs the charge rate in the battery?

    How to make a cheap isolated dual-battery setup for $50

    Then I guess I don't understand why the house battery can't suck that power out of the alternator. What is the limiting component? Wires, charge controller, battery?
