Actually most Thule accessories are now designed to work with Thule, Yakima and factory crossbars. Almost all of their accessories use a universal mounting bracket which is metal not plastic like the yakima system.

I usually hit napa when not using toyota parts. THey have a premium grade and an economy grade part line. Go premuim.

Oh man those SSR's will rattle the fillings out of your teeth! They perform great offroad but road wise as wi=th all swampers (minus truxus) They we not designed for the road.

My thoughts are this. Get a THule xporter if you are going to be running over rough terrain. The yakima system will not hold up the wieght of 4 boats on rough trails. The crossbars will bend because the "towers" are to far apart to support that much wieght given the thickness of the pipe. I...

cEnd of an Era beginning of a new Era Well a few months ago our Beloved Beagle Bentley Past away after 16 faithful years. I really haven't even been able to talk about it till now. I'm getting a little choked up as I write..... Anyway after many years of traveling around with us despite his...

Ok so I got my motor out finally. We had rain delays since I'm doing it in my driveway. THe neighbors are loving me LOL! Ayway I am going to sieze the moment and go ahead and work on touching up the chassis in a few spots and make a few other minor adjustments while motor is out and everything...

Well it is impossible to compare the EVS to off the shelf parts. Although I think the UTE bed is a great product and am running one on my rig you can not compare the 2 reguardless of the the topper or boxes bought over the shelf. Although it is a decent alternative for light duty expeditions...

No release date yet but after speaking with Anne the other day she indicated that the tent that is on the EVS would be in the $1500-1800 price range once they got a production center lighned up. All the tents are made to order at this point and built individually so costs are alot higher right now.

Actually the trailers start at 16K and top out at 20k depending on the options such as generators, tent configurations, water filters, fridges etc. the base model includes the tent that is on the evs, kitchen with 2 burner stove plates coffe cups cups utensils knife plaock cutting board coffe...

The EVS has been at my house for the past 2 days. What an amazing rig. 65k sounds like alot but I really do no think you could put the rig together yourself for less. THere is so much time and though in it that it is a really amazing machine. I drove it this morning for the first time and it was...

Well I was dropping my wifes jetta of today for service and the parts guy said hey chck this out we will have thesefor next year witht he diesel. They will be size wise just like a ford escape which is a little small but it would be a good small diesel off. It is a simpler mini toureg. target...

Ok well I got my engine. It came from a 2002 tacoma d cab. It is a 2.7 with 40,000 miles. It was pulled becuase the guy dropped in a 1kzte motor from Jarco. I am going to yamk my old motor and drop in the new motor on sunday. I'll now be running coil packs instead of a distributor but this motor...

Now that's an answer for ya! Man I wonder if they are gonna even kiss ya first. I mean 25K to do a 4wd conversion am I missing something here? I hope they are fabricating propriatary mechanical parts from scratch.

I would be very surprised if cutting was disallowed. That would mean just about all custom exhaust systems would be banned. I would think the reg would only be focused on emmision output and cats.

I grew up on boats and now my primary fishing is from yaks. If you think wheelers are passionate about wheeling then you do not know any paddlefishing enthusiasts. Get on some forums and you will have plenty of people to fish with. Plus you can take the Yak with you on 4wd trips and that is a...

Great pics!!!

Just got this from Mark McMillan. hopefully score will have the details up soon.

Not to be morbid but it always seems that great adventurers die from the most basic things ya know. I hope it turns out he is ok!

Very tempting but the 6 days round trip drive from Tampa to N.M. is a killer. I could fly but with the flight tickets and shipping it all I think I could find one cheaper in the S.E. Thanks for the email and your right I wish I was in N.M. or you were in Fl cause this would be done. I found a...

Man if you were not in NM I would be talking to you about the drive train since I just busted my motor. THis would be a perfect donor for my 3.4 swap but no way I can get to N.M. to pull it. It would have to be pulled and shipped.
