hyaena, thanks for posting. I've been eyeballing the RV-5 for sometime but have yet to pull the trigger. Trying to decide between the peaked side panels (as you have chosen) or the std side panels. I'm looking for the quickest set-up but if two more poles isn't a big deal, then maybe I'll go...

This is a good book for you... Backcountry Adventures: Northern California http://www.amazon.com/Backcountry-Adventures-California-Peter-Massey/dp/1930193084/ref=sr_1_51?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1307340637&sr=1-51

I didn't make these but I think I'll try to next time... had a stack of Red Velvet pancakes the other day from Babycakes Cafe in Vegas.

The Troopie camper I rented had these low-profile tracks mounted above all the windows in a continuous loop. The curtains were tied back at the B/C/D pillars. It worked very well. My only complaint was some added noise with the glides within the track when going over bumps. This is the way I...

Since you brought it up, there is also the Military MT/R and the Competition Super Sticky MT/R. :coffeedrink:

Most RTT's don't have a lot of floorspace. Instead of cutting holes, I would consider a T-Top type RTT like the Eezi-awn or ARB and somehow position it so the vestibule is right over the sunroof.

Great idea! They should come that way from the factory.

These two part numbers are good in the US Toyota system but I'm not 100% sure those are the correct part numbers. Give Onur or Dan at American Toyota a call.

Just thinking out loud but perhaps these BBQ grills were designed more for Japanese style Yakitori... like smaller bite sized eats. That's the type of grilling I mostly see while in Japan.

I find this one interesting as a lot of diesels aren't originally sold in CA but can be brought in used from a different State.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to rent an RTT. This company rents and will put 50% of the rental cost towards the purchase of a new tent. They carry Autohome and ARB. I'm a fan of the Autohome tents simply because I like quick set-up and take down. In any case, I'd go with a porta-privy for...

You will probably want to put your Sequoia on a lift, measure your shocks at full extension and then remove the shocks and see how much more travel can actually be had in the IRS. Likely, there won't be much more.

Another article on it. http://blog.caranddriver.com/zetros-zetros-golly-ultra-luxury-mercedes-benz-6x6-rvs-tackle-mongolian-wilderness-and-weve-got-interior-photos/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+caranddriver%2Fblog+%28Car+and+Driver+Blog%29

Rack or no rack... makes no difference. The stock rack will be removed. Under the trim pieces are several pairs of mounting holes (threaded). These are the mounts used by the type of aftermarket racks you are considering.

Does that happen to be jgolden's old 100? The 17" wheels is the tip-off. In any case, congrats!

At the moment, I have not heard of anybody being able to divorce the HVAC controls from the NAVI. My strong suggestion is to find one that wasn't equipped with Navi. Not too difficult on an early 100 but extremely difficult to find a non-navi '03'-'07.

Many others have upsized to 33's and 35's with no VSC/ABS issues. Obviously there will be a slight hit on fuel economy.

There are a lot more choices if you go to a 275/65R18 which is a 32" tire (stock is 31"). There will be no problems with rubbing either. Also consider brands Tirerack doesn't carry like Toyo, Nitto, Cooper, etc.

This is not an LC100 but rather a Frontier. It looks similar though. I pulled this pic up from a quick google search. At the end of the torsion bar, aft of the front suspension is the adjustment bolt. It is 30mm. The AHC carries part of the weight of the vehicle and the T-bars/springs carry...

Your friend will want to crank up the front t-bars a few turns... but don't touch the AHC sensor adjustments. Also, if not done already, switch to synthetic line.
