Wow looks like a great trip!!! really enjoyed the pics.

The isolater is automatic making the batteries completely seperate. I did not want to mess with remembering switches I figure worst case scenario I have to swap the batteries to get the truck running again. however since I run all my add ons to the second battery this is very unlikely to happen...

Why not an Oztent? you sound like a great candidate for an rv4 or rv5 model. We have an rv 4 and have plenty of room for 2 cots and a dog crate.. The rv 5 should handle 3 cots and and the dog no problem. Plus you can not beat the front awning combined with the optional sides of an Oztent. We set...

If you are going to look at an Old Town then I agree the Penobscott series is the best. However keep in mind that in comparison to a Bell or Wenonah the Royalex laminate from Old Town is not as good. The laminate is thinner which wil make the boat slightly lighter however these canoes can suffer...

The DY special was a great boat in its day. The current Yost offering in that class is the Bell Magic which is 4 generations down the road from the DY special. All the boats in that fast solo touring class are harder to turn. However the magics updated differential rocker, improved elliptical...

Personally Bell canoes are my favorite. I have been in the paddlesports industry for 17 years now. I have worked in manufacturing, as a rep, I owned a retail store for 8 years and currently own a canoe rental shop. I have owned just about every major brand of canoe on the market and now I own...

AT realeased thier taco chaser concept 2-13-07 Campa evs 3-6-07. The Campa evs came to be in Oct of '06 on our baja trip. I was sitting on the beach with Chris betweeen rocky point and El Golfo and I told chris I wanted him to build me a campa set up to replace the bed of my taco. He loved the...

Ok so here is where I keep all my tools adn elec upgrades. This can easily be done inside a 4 runner. You have alot more room then my reg cab taco! close up of the battery isolator and fuse block an areal of the elec side you can just see the brown wire coming off the posative post. That...

I got all my battery termianls off ebay cheap. Stinger audio etc. Also I am running a napa battery isolator so one powers the rig one powers the other stuff. SO far after 2 years no issues. I aded a battery voltmeter guage easily. I got one from the marine store and then wired it into a 3 way...

I have installed several rubicon express lift both short and long arm. The full short arm kit with replacement arms is a sick little kit and puts up great flex numbers for a short arm kit. You could go with the ome springs and shocks and then the rest of the rubicon express lift for maximum...

Ok so I am curious what you carry and like. I am a bit of a knife lover (not a fanatic). I feel it is one of three items everyone should carry. Now I do not think everyone needs a large rambo knife since a nice folder can work wonders. Personally I love my Benchmade Knives. I have been carrying...

I think the big question is gearing. The front I would imaging is just a torsion bar crank to lift. So you could do the front before you go. You will just not have the shocks. The rear maybe a different story. Is it possible to get the lift from someone else who has it in stock? I drove a...

I have a ute bed in my garage awaiting install. Unfortunetly this year has been kicking my but. Fortunetly things are finally turning around so I am just about ready to finish my motor swap and then on to the Ute bed. The bed and products seem to be very well made. I was bummed to learn that the...

This trialer build is coming along nicely. The fab work looks really well done. I have one concern however and that is the potential tongue wieght. It looks as if the axle is set pretty far back and the forward deck area is pretty large. It has alot of heavy stuff tires fuel etc. Did you guys...

That is a big part of our problem to many "standard" features. over the years it has been "sorry you can't get manual locks and windows anymore", "no sory no manual transmission", etc meanwhile the base price goes up 2500.00. Now I hear ford is dropping the manual on the superduty and that auto...

Ok so I want to throw something out there without getting anyone upset so keep in mind as I say this that I think O.J. is a great publication but I think has caused a bit of confusion in a particular area of the trailer test. The issue is on the trailer wieghts Now I do not have a reference on...

what size zodiac is that? any pics of it packed in the 80?

what size zodiac is that?

I doubt it since they are both bricks in the aero dynamics arena.

That campa jeep is no slouch. I do not think is there is one part of that jeeps drive train that is stock. I forget the exact lift but it has d-60 axles, custom coils, king shocks 35" bfg's and I believe rear air bags. no doubt a sleeper. Most people walking buy would think nice jeep on 35's...
