That's a nice KTM. I love them for their straightforward utility. I like Wolfman as well. My front panniers and tank bag on that bike are Wolfman. I guess I just like bangles and buckles. Here is the same bike with the Magadan bags from ADV Spec and a BMW tank bag. The duffles are North...

@agavelvr, my first set of "panniers" on that bike was actually a set of .50 cal ammo cans www.ox-ak.blogspot.com The photo at the top of the page with the ammo cans was taken at Eureka, Alaska, on a trip across the Denali Highway. I've also ridden that bike with a set of Happy Trails on a...

Ferghana Range, Kyrgyzstan On the flats. Had a dismount at 40kph when a fuel truck got a little too close, hence the fluid (water) leak on the truly excellent Mosko Moto panniers. Still on the way up the pass. Just past the summit. Beautiful country.

Dang it, you made me start thinking, and I couldn't stop. I don't think I touched on your original question, which seemed to have more to do with the construction of a container than attachment to the vehicle. So I started thinking about whether there are two problems presented in your...

What is the amount of force required for tear through? I looked at your build for storage, and as so many have said, it is beautiful. The tie down rails, as I understand it, are bolted through the floor (or perhaps more correctly, are bolted to steel cross-members which are bolted through the...

Calicamper said it best: Buy what you need for the rest of your use of the Subaru, and just slow down. Being a careful driver in icy and snowy conditions will do more to keep you safe than any set of tires you can buy. Sometimes the trick to driving safely on ice and snow is knowing when not...

Very nice. I see you have tacked on some inner fender liners, looks great. What are your dimensions for the trailer going to be? I'm three months from starting mine, so I will be watching yours with great interest.

Amazing build, thank you for sharing it. And thank you for the info on the Propex heater.

This looks to be very interesting. The convex shaped sides may present some challenges, and I look forward to your solutions for fenders. Pretty exciting project!

From the Storage Solution forum This guy built his own, but Wow!: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/136352-Custom-Tundra-Bed-Storage-Phase-1 I would probably use the skate bearing method...

Now this will be interesting to watch . . .

Arturo tires I'm looking forward to seeing those mounted and on the WOD. What is the measured diameter with that beautiful blocky tread?

Garmin Montana IMO, the Garmin Montana. Larger screen, greater capacity for storing waypoints. Using OSM (Open Street Maps) you can download maps from just about everywhere in the world and get by. I use JaVaWa Device Manager to manage the maps on the Montana, and store the maps on SD cards...

Curt: What you are doing looks about right. As for additional lights. there are a few vendors (Rigid, Vision X) that make a mount that utilizes the license plate mounting brackets and only cost about $50. I had one mounted on the front of My '08 Subaru Outback, and put a small LED light bar...

If it is not too late, I would love to get a pair, any color.

For what it may be worth, an older article by Scott Brady . . . http://www.expeditionswest.com/research/white_papers/tire_selection_rev1.html Perhaps Scott can let us know if his thinking has changed in the interim.

I love that cooler! That is awesome, great innovation, great outcome.

Monstaliner makes a UV resistant bedliner type product that you can either roll-on or spray on yourself. http://www.monstaliner.com I'm going to use it on an expedition trailier, and probably my bumpers and rocker panels as well. And red is an available color . . .

The plans are now for sale. I'm pretty excited to receive my set, even though I can't start building until this Spring (my wife says I must finish rebuilding a motorcycle she insisted I buy before I can start another project). Thanks for getting these completed, Jess. Hours of fun on the horizon.

Great idea, thank you for sharing. I'm glad I saw this before I started building this weekend. Now I think I better wait a week or two to see how your idea works out . . .
