    Suburban 2500 vs Power Wagon vs Tundra

    Too bad the Dodge dealer mechanics didn't know that simple fix, that's what I love about this and other forums I'am on is that somebody out there has knowledge/experiance about almost anything and is willing to share it. I wasn't to worried about driving the truck even knowing that it could...

    FJ purchase question

    Kind of what I thought also, I have 36k(In about 2 1/2 years) on my '08 TT and its my DD. But it is a Toyota, should be able to get another 100k out of it easily! Early '07 had some bad diffs and about mid '08 Toyota made changes to the inner fender, mines a 2nd generation and I have not had...

    Anyone having trouble getting ahold of Proffitt's?

    I live about 10 minutes from thier shop, I could go down and see if anybody is home if you want, I need to check out Johns new truck and get some prices on a lift anyway. They do awesome things to Toyotas and its always cool to stop by and see what they are working on.

    Suburban 2500 vs Power Wagon vs Tundra

    Power Wagons vs .... Been wanting to post on this thread, but for some reason I was temporarly blocked now all is good, I owned a 2005 PW for about 3 years and for the most part was very happy with it. As posted elsewhere the fuel economy is well not great, best I ever saw was 15mpg empty...

    new KM2's on our rig, 83 toy expo

    Thats a nice truck/camper combo IMO, Always wanted one of the early 4wd pu's when they came out, wasn't until '84 before I could get one. The KM2 looks good/performs well and I plan on replacing my KO's (which I like) with them as soon as they wear out. Will be doing the Pizza cutter size...

    ARB transit bag

    velcro issues I have one of the first of the new ARB fridges and had no problems with the velcro sticking, I did clean the surfaces good before installing the velcro. Last week I was down at Proffitts Cruiser and they were putting on the velcro and It did not stick either, they had cleaned the...

    Offroad trailer Vs Roof tent MPG

    Update on mileage: Just returned from a 3k trip to California. With the RTT removed from the FJ, I was optimistic about picking up a couple of MPG's, but the best that I did was only a 1 mpg increase. I kept my speed at posted MPH or less(California has a max of 55mph when pulling a trailer...

    To keep suspension stock or not

    X2, I will also be lifting my FJ and originally wanted to do the Old Man Emu, but after looking into lift kits the Icon has become the one I like the most although they are alot of $$$. OME will get the job done at a reasonable cost. Changing out the UCA's is critical in getting the geometry...

    How many rack bars should I have under my Maggiolina?

    I think the big thing is having support on the sides where the ladder connects to the Mag. Your wieght going up/down on the ladder can cause small spider cracks in the fibreglass if it is not supported well. I would want three cross bars at least. I'am sure Mike from Autohome will chime in here...

    Offroad trailer Vs Roof tent MPG

    I agree, it is way easier to put away the tent on the trailer than on top of my FJ. I averaged anywhere from 13.5 to 16 mpg on my trip to the Expo, I was pulling a AT Horizon with a Globetrotter RTT as well as a RTT on top of my FJ also. I'am pretty sure I will pick up a couple of MPG's when I...

    New Autohome Maggiolina/Columbus tent, the AirTop

    I climbed up into the Airtop @ the Expo and layed down to see how well I fitted in it, I'am 6' tall and I had plenty of room in it. It is also slightly taller than most of the other models of Mags., that is about the only thing I don't like about the Mags is that they are not very tall but I...

    Overland Expo: Official Daily Update Thread

    I may have a better pic of the water can holder, but what I thought was pretty cool was the tube ladder incorperated with the swingout. The Airtop RTT is very cool it has more room length wise for a 6 footer like me and more headroom also, not to mention the rear entry.
