    Mammoth, CA Laurel Lakes-Trip Report

    I have to admit this is one of my favorites as well. Unless you're driving a unimog I wouldn't worry about that last switchback, it's not bad at all. This road makes for a great picture...

    Mark's '95 fzj80...

    Robb is right, the Kaymar is a great and proven bumper. I never meant it was crap for a bumper, it just wasn't for me. Personal preference, that's all. The kaymar is stout, I've seen it take hits just fine. David Zartman (publisher of 4wdtoyotaowner) took his kaymar equiped 80 across the...

    Mark's '95 fzj80...

    So sorry to dissapoint you :sombrero: Tacoma's are sweet by the way, I used to have one! The Kaymar just didn't fit me. It wasn't burley enough for me. I wanted something a little more stout that improved my departure angle. The answer is the 4x4 labs bumper. The ladder is cool, it...

    I have a partner steel 3 burner with windscreen. Before that I used a campchef all terrain. Both of them are propane and have never posed a problem, the only reason I switched stoves was for packing space. However because of proven reliability and for redundancy I cary a MSR dragonfly with white...

    12V Socket for Fridges: clever ones?

    It doesn't look like you need a flush mount one but I'll share anyways. I like these West Marine one's. The plugs are snug and the receptacles mount securely.

    How to Keep Kids Occupied when traveling/ Camping?

    One other thing that I don't think has been mentioned is crafts. Go to a craft store or the dollar store and look for age appropriate crafts. Recently we made a wooden sail boat. We used glue and some paint. Then we took it down to the creek and sailed it on a string. Another thing that I...

    The Jolly Green Giant...aka the Recycled Rig

    Wow, it must be a good feeling to have it running again. Congratulations. How did your receiver hitch come out on the labs bumper with the rear crossmember moved back to accommodate the aux tank? I requested the same thing on my bumper but the receiver pin is a bit hard to get too, among...

    Brake problems

    It sounds like siezed pistons. I'm actually going through this on my 80. The pistons don't retract very well so the brakes get hot and prematurely warp. I decided to replace my rear calipers with OEM one's. For the front Toyota actually has a rebuild kit and I chose to do that instead of...
