    I'm all for the pelican case versions of mounting the eccotemp, but what cabinet is that? Purpose built and very nicely done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    an unforgetable night at sacajawea hotsprings

    What a story. This is the kind of stuff that keeps me worried having my kids along in the back country. I think I could handle stuff with my wife or another adult, but with kids it would be really difficult situation. It's one of the reasons I stay up on CPR cert and keep an inReach with SOS...

    Snow Peak Addiction

    Storage bag for the 4-unit is in the works. I have a proto from Blue Ridge Overland Gear that Matt and I collaborated on at Expo-East. The proto was ingeniously done and nearly perfect based solely on our conversation there. Talented folks at BROG! Highlights for my setup: - holds a 4-unit...

    What would be a rock solid total communications package for exploration,on the cheap?

    If cost is a factor, but satellite is out, then I'd go for GMRS. $85 license good for 5 years and the mobile radios are under $200. Portables are plentiful and cheap. Mobiles offer near Ham performance without the exam. For me it's a layered approach if it is a life safety issue and cell...

    Expedition Overland Show & HAM Radios...and Business USe

    It's also possible the races are running GMRS, which requires a license, but less restrictive in that it allows for a bit more power than FRS and and repeaters that can be used for any permitted use under part 95. It also has some benefit in that manufacturers are building radios that allow for...

    GX470 vs. LR3 (overland rig)

    Seeing as you posted in the toyota section, I think you'll see heavy bias. Land cruiser all the way! Though I hear the LR3 is one of the best for overlanding, you cannot beat the reliability of the Lexus, ease of parts globally and access to service.

    AT Tacoma Habitat: Official Thread

    Didn't AT launch the habitat tent system for JK? From the looks, it could probably also fit the 4 Runner... did I dream that @elcoyote?

    Fuses and Blue Sea ML-ACR

    Slick setup. If you're planning to winch from that setup, its not recommended to fuse them either. If possible it try to rearrange so the negative isn't crossing under the positive. With a washboard roads over time, wearing underneath could expose a short directly from neg to pos. That would...

    Running an iPod in an LC 100 series equipped with navigation?

    Unless your classic iPod is FireWire (really classic!) then the USB input on the VAIStech should support input over the dock connector. No need for 3.5 input.

    Flip-Pac torsion bar?

    From a long thread somewhere else, I've read these are the only guys making them now. I think they only recently started based on the demand in the market.

    Running an iPod in an LC 100 series equipped with navigation?

    Ok, wasn't aware. A few other have been successful with this: VAIStech SL3b-T http://www.vaistech.com/product/sl3b-t/?10746&10742&10459&10454&10436

    Running an iPod in an LC 100 series equipped with navigation?

    Man that's crazy. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. I have a 2006 LC and have the USASpec adapter and can stream IPhone BT or hoookup USB to an iPod or any other USB device. Steering wheel control and all. Hooks up and acts like a cd changer. Keep the factory nav and changer...

    Landcruiser 100 series seat replacement

    If you search iH8MUD 100s sections for post from Spressomon, you'll, find hid did put some Recaros in his 100. He's not scared of fabricating, so YMMV as to how doable this really is.

    Midland MXT100 GMRS Mini Review

    The power limits of FRS and GMRS make it unlikely that on conversations and thus interference would travel that far. 1/2watt for FRS. Most of the bubble pack radios limit GMRS to 1w from my recollection. That's just not much more than a mile in clear air conditions. CB is low band and AM and...
