I have been using a Qualcom unit with Globalstar service for about 3 years. The cost is only a bit more than a cell phone, and I like the ability to use it anywhere. I take it when I travel - worldwide. Don't forget to caryy all the phone numbers that you might need in the area you are...

Scott I am less familiar with the Canon product line than the Nikon, but of the choices you listed I think the 24mm is the deal. This is about as wide as you can go without apparent distortion. I have a 24mm f2 Nikon fixed focal length lens that is terrific, sharp, nice color, and it gets...

John, Our warehouse in Newark, NJ and is strictly a warehouse and delivery point, not a showroom. We do have some customers who do not mind showing their tents to prospective customers. If you e-mail us with contact info and location, I will see if I can find a customer or dealer near you...

We OCCASIONALLY have used or demo tents, or tents damaged in shipping that we repair. We do not sell these as new tents - they are typically sold at 25% off list. Let me know if you're interested and I will put you on the waiting list.

Thanks, I knocked this together right after I finished the trailer. I thought it looked kind of unfinished and funky, but the idea works well. The section with 4 drawers slides out as a separate unit so that it can be used wherever needed. The cook kit is a bit of self defense. I have never...

Scott So basically the gear change let you use you 4th OD gear more often, instead of 3rd, right? This is a reasonable solution. I find that a lot of people run tires that are too large, and don't take time to figure out the total valve train gearing issues. I my FJ60, the engine is well...

Yeah, Scott. Light, simple and fast to open, and comfortable. We sell more of these than any other type of tent. Gary's FJ45 is a really nice trayback that never seems to be 'finished'. He has it at many of the West Coast runs. He is an exceptional driver, and always has some Reggae tunes...

I like to carry two spares on a long trip to remote areas. Since I always have my trailer along, it is no problem - on spare on the cruiser, three on the trailer. I like GY MTRs for the strong sidewalls. I was on a trip two years ago with a buddy who had only one spare. Of course, he suffered...

Shameless commercialism - Here is Gary Kardum (Mudrak) with his Columbus on his FJ45. Nice truck...

I like the idea. We have had a number of people who talked of grafting a AutoHome pop up to their vehicle. No one that I know of has done it.

Hard to see how making more RPM would improve fuel economy. Maybe you drive slower or meant changing to 4.10 FROM 5.29? Also, the idea of carrying fuel in a container inside the passenger compartment is not a good one. Better mounted low as you suggested, but OUTSIDE the vehicle. Another...

Scott This whole kitchen requirements issue is one that is in constant flux, but I have a couple of suggestions... 1. Assemble a list of what you know you need. The hardest things to manage and rememer aren't the stove and cooking kit, but things like matches, can and bottle openers, pot...

Quality 1/0 welding cable (copper with tinned strands) will work great and last a long time. It is also easier to work with than regular battery cable because it is more flexible. Be sure the use a HD terminal and solder, then crimp the cable end in. M

I have been using two group 31 Optima Yellow Tops in my cruiser. They are actually a combination starting/deep draw battery. I have tons of strating power and can run accessories as well. Mike

I am a believer in expedition trailers. I had one built to my specs a few years ago, and have used it all over the West. It has a spare tire, 40 gal. water tank, 4 5 gal. Blitz cans, tool box with marine batteries, charger, and water pump, hinged aluminum lid, and a very useful extensible...

Interesting reading... I have just registered to participate on this website. Some of you know me from the IH8MUD site. My partner and I own AutoHomeUSA, North American importers of AutoHome roof top tents - www.autohomeus.com Keeping this in mind, I have a couple of comments to add to this...
