I have run Mobil 1 in all my vehicles for years. When I bought my FJ60, the owner had run dino in it, and I switched to Mobil 1 - no leaks after the change. My FZJ80 used Catrol Syntec from the beginning, and I recently switched to Mobil 1. Again, no leaks. I have used Mobil 1 in my Ford F250...

Tent fabric design goals Pasquale - great photos! The Columbus Carbon Fiber is a very advanced tent - we are pretty proud of it. The cost of roof top tents IS higher than those designed for backbacking and occassional camp use. They are more complex, are more exposed, and must operate in...

Wish U could send a photo Drew My Windows machine is fried. I am now setting up a new Mac Book Pro and don't have access to my stash of photos until I rescue the contents of the PC hard disk. I definitely sucks, but I am stuck ntl I get it done. I will try to take some new photos for you...

Agreed. I have worn out quite few pairs of boots. Last year I bought a pair of Limmer Lightweights. These are easily the best boots I have owned.

A thought on tongue length When I designed my trailer, I included a length adjustable tongue with a swiveling HD pintle lunette. The main beam is supported at the sides by frame extensions that hold a Delta aluminum tongue box (this carries batteries, charger, water pump, and dual tool trays)...

BB We carry an expedition tent called the OverCamp - a very rugged, simple tent that is priced at $1299 - less than any other quality roof top tent :Wow1: . Available immediately, five year warranty, and we carry parts and accessories I would be glad to send a catalogue with full info if you...

Maggiolina and Columbus in cold weather Brett The Maggiolina and Columbus excel in 4 season camping. Both these tents have been used in cold climates in Europe, North America, and Asia. I will share my thinking on the question... Both the tents are built with a 1"+ thick bottom platform - a...

See your PM incoming mail box... Yes, we carry them, have them in stock. Yakima says yes. The Focus Wagon with Lowriders is rated at 150 lbs. dynamic load. When you add a kayak, you'll be getting close to max spec. Check the maximum vehicle load for the Focus, tho.' I would follow the...

Our experience with Wrangler hardtops... Grahamfitter The standard artificial rain gutters are not as strong nor do they distribute weight as well as the Yakima Top Loader with Thule 300 gutter mount feet and load bars. Yakima specs the standard gutter mount with artificial rain gutter on a...

All our Maggiolina tents are supplied standard with a 12V interior light. You can also mount a 12V Hella turbo fan (folding type), a flat panel monitor, laptop, DVD player, 12V charging outlet for your GPS, sat phone, or whatever. I find the light very handy. If you are going to add a light, I...

Worth it for me... The subtank on my 80 carries an additional 25.5 gallons. On my trips the extra range is needed and welcome. I don't have to plan the trip around fuel concerns.

You are looking good, Ghostrider...

We recommend Kurt Congratulations! You are going to like the AirLand tent. We recommend that you NOT use the factory crossbars. This is general advise regarding all factory crossbars and not a shot at Toyota - I love Toyotas - especially my FZJ80. We have put a lot of tents on 4runners. The...

Tenting an Xterra We usually recommend that our customers with Xterras fit a Thule 450 Crossroads system to carry our tents. This will support 150 lbs (dynamic) when travelling. No problem to mount a tent on an Xterra... Here's an OverLand fabric tent on an Xterra. And here is a Maggiolina...

Take the Disco I think you should take the Disco on your trip. Just join AAA, and get the GPS co-ordinates and phone numbers for all the LR dealers along your route. Then, if you do break down, you'll be able to get help. Or buy the Toyota, and just go. They do not break down. But sometimes...

Sliders Brian I have the Hanna sliders. I like them as they are very trim, provide a step surface for my wife to climb into the truck, and have a built-in skid plate for the cats. Handy on rough trials. I think the cost is comparable to the Slee units. I got mine from Gary at MUDRAK. Mike

Here's my 80 - OME 2.5" lift, 285/75 Revos on stock rims.
