A re-design of the OverLand is in process - actually a new model. ETA late this year. The OverLand is a great tent, but The fabric tent market here demands some different features - more "camping" oriented than 'mobility' oriented. I think you will like what we come up with. The Ezi-Awn is a...

Drew PM me with your e-mail, I'll send some info along. I have a few photos also. Mike

I have been collecting gear for a LOOONG time. Best yet is the Petromax three fuel lantern. I won't camp without it.

That's the same set-up that I used on my trailer. Wait until you go down to your Toyota dealer to buy the lug nuts...:confused: Post pictures? Sorry I am coming late to this post. I have designed and built a similar trailer for my FJ60 and now FZJ80. Water tank, pump, battery banks, charger...

Drew - I fixed so that it is 'clickable'. Sorry for the brain fade on this one.

The AutoHome OverLand large (1.8 meter) is popular with camping families and can sleep up to two adults and two children. It's 71" wide, 87" long, folds to 71" X 43-1/2" - check our website. Yes, I sell them, so this IS a plug. Good BIG tent, and we have many families using them...

I don't know. The US and California in particular is not diesel friendly. I would kill for an TD powered 70 or 80 series that I could legally register, drive, and easily get parts for... Almost stuffed a 1HD-T into my FJ60, but in the end it was just too expensive and dubious as far as legal...

Jack - you're forgetting about the 'Gold Package' for the soccer moms! I have been used to both part time and full time AWD or 4WD. I like the AWD set up on the 80. The manual CDL switch install is pretty simple and a good idea, IMO. edit: On the subject of MTRs. This is a very good off-raod...

I have seen and ridden in TD powered Prado LCs. They are quiet, eficient, and have good power (for a TLC). Until low sulphur Diesel fuel is mandated and available across the US, don't hold your breath. Or rather, DO hold your breath...

Roof top tents in VA Jim: I have a couple of customers in your area. Call me and I'll try to hook you up... Mike S AutoHomeUSA 888 852 2359

Red Stripe! I will be in Jamaica for Christmas this year, and will enjoy a few of Desnoes and Geddes finest. They also now have a LIGHT beer. Go figure.

Great! Shoot me some mail when you're headed this way... and bring the 80 this time. I would like to see it!:yikes: M

Need a rematch... Pasquale: Would like to do it again if you are in the area. Or if I get down towards Sedona. Very enjoyable meeting you for lunch. Need to do something out in the desert, tho'.:victory: Mike

I jsut got back from a 6 week trip last Wednesday. Or I would have responded sooner. The aux tank is an older MAF model imported from Oz. The drawer system was built for me by a friend (a GOOD friend). Same height as the weel wells and fits neatly between them. Dog crates fastened to the...

A last word... We sell a lot of roof top tents. The last thing that I want is a customer calling to complain that the product won't cut it. We talk with all our customers to be sure that they understand the product, that it is appropriate for their use, and that they understand that they can...

Thanks for the kind comments, folks/ A little more detail... We went to central Montana for Hungarian partridge and sharptail grouse on the 18th, and spent some time with friends in Bozeman, hunted some beautiful country. We did quite well. The mattress is a featherbed over the standard...

About knock-offs I receive e-mails every week from Chinese manufacturers who have roof tents and camping gear to sell. In a past life, I did business in China, and can tell you that they ship whatever they can, and if you don't inspect it on the wharf, you'll get junk. Add to this the...

I just returned from a trip to Montana to excersize my dogs and collect avian protein samples. Finally got a picture of my 80... '96 FZJ80 - locked - with OME suspension, ARB front, Kaymar rear, Hanna sliders, 26 gallon aux fuel tank, rear storage drawer, and a top of the line Alpine stereo -...

Another alternative is the BlueSea marine battery system. I used this on my FJ60 with excellent results, managing two Optima Yellowtops. It has a manual control for mounting in the dash (ON-Auto-OFF). Unlike the Hell Roaring and Sure Power, it is a manual system enabling full charge and...

I have a Petromax lantern, and I like it better than my three Colemans (two of these are dual fuel). The Petromax is easier to prime and light, has a useful reflector, burns white gas, leaded or unleaded gas, Deisel, or kerosene, provides MORE light, and an attachment is available that lets you...
