    Coleman Colorado rebuild

    Did you order new springs and hangers with that 3500# axle? I think you would be happier with the result if you did.

    The #RogueWagon

    This will be interesting! I like the "paint, more paint" ethos! These really are remarkable vehicles, aren't they? Don't forget to throw some breather tubes on the differentials and transmission that terminate higher if you are gonna be fording streams etc. Mine terminate at the top of the...

    A Good Scarf

    Aereostitch silk scarf. Two trips up the Alaska Highway, Europe, The Med, Asia Minor, Central Asia, etc. My tube type scarfs are great for static sitting but tend to irritate my scrawny turkey neck after an hour or two of riding. Plus, if I wear my hat with the earflaps, I kinda look like...

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    "Actually You are wrong. Its 100% functional. Noone has asked me how i did it." Grant, you are not telling the truth, are you. On April 1, 2016, you and I had the following exchange on your blog. Am I seeing a snorkel on there now, too? How about some details on that? It’s coming. Have to...

    Pics of rig packed up ready to go?

    Uhm, Dan? Is that dog crapping a stuffed moose? I mean, we'll take up a collection for Kibbles and such . . . I dunno, perhaps the excretion of the moose accounts for the expression on your dog's face? So disturbing on so many levels. Sigh.

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    Thank you again. I will contact him when I do this. It will likely be next summer when I get back down to the small states, as I have to finish rebuilding this BMW R80/7 that my wife insisted I buy. Although I suppose I shuld start ordering parts so they are there when I'm ready to do the mod.

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    FozRoamer~ Thank you, that is a very complete answer. I simply MUST pull the trigger on this mod now, as you have left me no excuse, no wiggle room, no face if I don't do it.

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    Hey, FOZROAMER! How about some deets on the snorkel you selected and the installation, Please? And thank you. Grant put one on his WOD, but still waiting to hear from him about what he used and how it went. And since I'm on the topic of the Fozroamer, what was the shipping expense like on...

    2015 Subaru Outback - Expedition Retrofit

    Very, very nice, MLC. An elegant solution. Do I understand correctly that you fabbed up the spacer blocks yourself? Earlier you were having issues with the DC service on the reefer, but it seems that is sorted now. How did that "sorting" occur? I have a similar issue om my Gen-3 OB that is...

    The importance of a rear dust light in the southwest.
