    Taking parents west to Moab and Ouray...suggestions needed

    I would still recommend going over 550 from Durango-Silverton-Ouray on your way to Moab (or the opposite). It is spectacular and even more so covered in snow. It won't matter that you can't do any offroading there. From Durango take US160 east back to Walsenburg and then Clayton NM and then to...

    Reliability of first gen Forester

    I believe some first generation Foresters had the DOHC motor. Fine motor, but a bit more difficult to work on (setting valve clearance) than later SOHC motor. I've had multiple 2.5 Subarus in the family. All have needed headgaskets. Can be done in car, but actually easier to pull the motor. My...

    Choosing my first overland vehicle

    100 series Cruiser and a set of good all-terrains and call it a day. When/if you sell a few years down the road it will likely depreciate less than any of the other choices.

    Recalled to life: my 80 (re)build thread

    Gordon and Maverick - thanks for the comments. I've had the hi-lift mounted on the swing out. Last time I tried to use it a pin was frozen. Same thing the time before that. I'm thinking that moving it inside - at least the ratcheting part - might keep it in better shape. But I'm still...

    Cold Weather Shelter

    I have a Propex in my Vanagon. Multiple zero degree (F) nights (-17C) every winter. Works great but a little loud. ($600-$800). Got mine from Karl at http://www.westyventures.com/propex.html . Wood stove in a Springbar sounds great though.

    Recalled to life: my 80 (re)build thread

    Made some progress this week. Phase one complete The amount of space underneath is cavernous! I was planning on mounting my freshwater tank where the spare was, but now I'm thinking I'll put it right behind the rear seat. I used 1/2 ply for the top, coated with two coats of oil-based poly...

    ARB rack for FZJ80, FJ80, FJ60, FJ62 in Colorado

    Hey - sorry for the tardy reply. Yes, the width of the feet are adjustable, but not via a continuous slot. There are a series of 8 parallel holes. Looks like the mounting gutters could go about 2-3 inches wider and 4-6 inches narrower. I didn't list the wheels and tires yet (waiting on cooper...

    Fridge/Stove combo slide dilemma

    I can't offer an in-depth comment, but I just purchased the AT combo slide. I'm building the platform in my 80 around it. I haven't yet used it on an outing, but the quality of the slide and the integration of the Partner stove are first class.

    Nice Akayl. I'm doing a build myself - very similar starting point. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Are you thinking second fuel tank or fuel canisters?
