    1997 Land Cruiser Troop Carrier Build

    It'll be the slowest, ugliest vehicle you'll fall in love with.

    1997 Land Cruiser Troop Carrier Build

    My first 'mod' was replacing the hood support keeper thing. Small things. The second thing I did was to remove the window tint from the front windows. These cars just don't look good with tint up front. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ironman, EFS or OME (Old Man Emu) suspension for 80-Series overlander?

    Pretty sure Ironman and OME springs are made in the same factory by King Springs.

    1997 Land Cruiser Troop Carrier Build

    The 1HZ naturally-aspirated diesel engine. The dual battery setup, currently wired with a solenoid. It will move to something a little bit more advanced that gives me better control.

    1997 Land Cruiser Troop Carrier Build

    As some of you might know, about six months ago I traded in the sunny shores of California's Central Coast for the red dirt and beaches of Australia. This meant that I now had access to some of the world's best overland vehicles. So, I indulged myself in the local fare and purchased a well-loved...

    Shall we talk about the other stupid things people did a hundred years ago?

    Red Wing Heritage Boots

    I always found those boots humorous, as if they were really meant for Brooklyn or LA with their complete lack of grip on the bottom.

    Any Fjällräven fans on here?

    I have a Fjallraven Keb Jacket. Frankly it is just a fashion piece for me, I bought it because my partner thought it looked good on me. For $300+ it isn't even close to water resistant, which is odd, because the tag on the jacket touted the waterproofness off their G-1000 material. While that...

    Red Wing Heritage Boots

    You got the comfy ones that Brian initially had, I gave mine to Chuck. He stuck with them and apparently likes them.

    Red Wing Heritage Boots

    Mine had an aggressively lugged sole and it just created pressure points.

    Red Wing Heritage Boots

    I had a set and gave them away. Ridiculously uncomfortable. Some people love them.

    2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Uberlanding Build

    It has been great, lightweight and strong. No complaints.

    2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon - Overland Build

    A bunch of different stuff actually, I do a bunch of vehicle testing here, so it varies by week. When this sells, I'll buy a Troopcarrier.

    Thanks guys! Again, I really wish I didn't have to sell it.

    2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon - Overland Build

    So, I'll be honest that it really sucks to be writing this, but I'm selling my beloved Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. After (admittedly) flip-flopping around quite a few 4X4s, I bought and built this one to be the end-all, be-all. Then about 6 months later, I got a job at a 4WD magazine in...

    2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Uberlanding Build

    I am really starting to doubt if I'll ever even get back to this vehicle...things in Australia are taking off. What to do...what to do... In the mean time, my Dad has quite a nice ride to drive around the suburbs of Chicago like a poseur!

    2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Uberlanding Build

    Let's put it this way, you're closer to my Jeep than I am—and my Jeep is in Chicago.
