    255's and 3.73 gearing

    I'am running the same tires (16" wheel) on my FJ with a AT and stock gearing, so our results should be close to each other. I lose about a mile per gallon on average with the KM2's compared to the 265 AT's I use during winter or long trips on pavement. As for power loss I can't tell much of a...

    Moby1 owners?

    No we did not, having real world experience using a couple of tear drops I'am good with the interior room they have. I was more concern with looking over the build quality which I feel is very good. Actually the XTR we saw at the shop was big compared to the So-Cal Krawler I was using last year...

    Moby1 owners?

    In post #39 I mentioned I was planning on stopping by Moby1 which I did last Friday. Like Dennis (Deyman) posted they have a nice shop that is clean and very organized. I looked at a couple of trailers while I was there, one was the motorcycle sized trailer and a XTR that was mostly done. The...

    Do you leave your RTT mounted?

    I leave my Air Top on 24/7/365. The FJ is my only vehicle so it's my DD but I don't drive it everyday either. Like Expdishn I have a Baja Rack also and it is a pita to get to the mounting bolts. I like having the option of going camping on a whim, I can be on the road in a 1/2 hr after deciding...

    Quicksilver expedition trailer.

    Way cool that you are doing this to keep your dad comfortable when you are out camping. We did the same kind of things to keep my mom camping into here early 80's, keeping them comfortable is important. In your opening post you ask why they put the axle so far back on the trailer. The reason...

    Haddix's FJ Build

    Looking forward to watching your build as well. I have built my FJ for the most part the same way as you are planing to do and I'am very satisfied with how it turned out.

    Double R Trailer Rebuild

    Saw Ace yesterday before he left town for his trip, the trailer is looking real good especially behind the FJ. Looks like the picture was taken at the Wendys in Fruita, Co. Have fun on the trip buddy but be careful down there.

    The Strap and Crap

    Ever felt like you reinvented the wheel? Like the original better.

    The Strap and Crap

    I don't know how I have managed without The Strap & Crap for the last 52 years, lucky I guess. For me its a solution to a non problem, but hey what ever floats your... I actually have been using a Pett toilet the last few years even if required or not. With more people enjoying the great...

    Concern

    If someone taking a picture of your truck concerns you (which could be a legit concern) DO NOT buy a teardrop. You will have more people taking pictures of your rig not to mention all the questions you'll be asked. RTT's garner a lot of attention as well.

    anyone running a fridge in rear of Jeep or truck bed???

    I have a new style ARB fridge in the back of my FJ Cruiser. It works just fine during the summer here (we see mid 90's to low 100's), it does run more often of course than during the spring or fall. Mine has been in the FJ since May '09 and has never missed a beat and is by far the best/most...

    Pintle vs Lock&Roll vs Max Coupler

    I have used the "old style" LNR on a AT Horizon and never had any issues with it. On a So-Cal Krawler TD that I had used last year it had the Max Coupler, (which was the early style version that did not suffer the issues that Adventure duo had which was the mass produced version) and it worked...

    Am I crazy? I am lusting after a 2013 2.7 Tacoma regular cab, but is it healthy?

    Congrats on the new Taco, did you go with a manual or auto?

    RTT/Rack size question

    I have a FJ and had a Baja Rack EXP with a Ezi-Awn 1400 series3 RTT which fit well, I don't think a 1600 would have fit on the rack without hanging off the end. I'am now using a Baja Rack Utility with a Autohome Airtop which uses up the whole rack. The 1600 T Top should fit on it with rack left...

    FJ/ARB option?

    There actually is/was a company (can't think of the name of it) that were taking new vehicles and making them "Expedition Ready", IIRC they started with FJ Cruisers then added Tacos and other brands of vehicles later on. Saw the first one 3 years ago at the FJ Cruiser Summit in Ouray, they...

    Moby1 owners?

    If you went with a 60" wide cabin you would probably be good, just depends on how much elbow room you need to be comfortable. The 2 dogs would take up about the same room as a 10 year old child. My wife and I (shes about 5'4" and I'am 6' even) had a 48" wide TD that we shared with a 20 lb dog...

    AT Horizon v. Adrenalin Campers?

    Having own a AT Horizon and been around Jonharris's Adrenalin trailer I would say the Adrenalin would better suit your needs. I have seen the KK (at the Overland Expo) and they seem to be a nice trailer. The Adrenalin is a Australian style trailer (the owner is from Australia) built in the USA...

    RUGER Trailers

    Don't think its for sale just posted in the wrong place, looks like he has it posted in the Ruger Trailer thread as well. Maybe a mod can move it over to the trailer section?
