The pop top is absolutely the way to go if anyone will be sleeping up high. I know adult couples who can sleep up top with...

    Sportsmobile will do just a 4wd conversion, and I would ONLY have SMB West to it as Alan & the guys came up with that conversion and do a great job (of course that is on the other coast from you!)

    Evidentiary standard for tech

    Again there seems to be a need to add personal attacks....which just turns away anyone who might be interested in learning. If you would leave out the ego comment, the "great expertise" and the "high horse" wording you might have a better chance of making a point without looking childish. I...

    Swiss Style Organization for Expeditiony Chic Overlanders . . .

    I watched the video a couple more times (honestly not just for the shower scene) and some of the things I really like: 1) hinged boxes so that they can extend out of the vehicle and then restack for compactness 2) the table setup that goes on the end of the boxes to give the cooking/eating space...

    Evidentiary standard for tech

    My 19yr old son has a 93 RR Classic, and I love to show him these kinds of threads with all the chest beating and bleating like children so he knows how NOT to act as a Rover owner. The fact that all you folks can't have a civil discussion without name calling and personal attacks (who plays in...
