    Keen Quality??

    I bought a pair of these when they were on sale at REI in Dec. Amazon.com: Men's Keen Klamath - KN1276SBYL: Shoes They are waiting for me at a relative´s house in TX where I had them shipped (nice things tend to not arrive to their destination in the mail system here)... I´ll get them next...

    La Vida Nica

    I´m certified parasite free... so I´m going to skip the 4 anti-parasite horesepills that that doctora prescribed me to take in two weeks. I´m taking probiotic pills that I brought to get the proper flora back in the system. While I´m not doing much else, I got my teeth cleaned at a dentist...

    La Vida Nica

    One thing I've never mentioned about life here is the high frequency of urination and defecation that happens in public areas. In the northern country (IE, it's much less common in Leon), I see men urinating in public, both urban and rural areas, about a dozen times per day. I've not seen...

    Interesting looking trailer... I wonder what it has besides the big tent and wheels?

    La Vida Nica

    I realized that it's been 10 years since I had an IV... as the doctora was poking me for the 5th time trying to hit a vein without it collapsing due to severe dehydration... I've been out of commission since Sunday... the doc diagnosed it as disentery. Been getting a shot in the buttox of...

    La Vida Nica

    This is interesting Nicargaua news. As I noted before, one cool thing about Nicaragua is all the Soviet and Eastern Block vehicles here. Ladas, Nivas, UAZs, Zils, IFA w50s, Kamaz, etc... but they are all now 20 years old or more and being replaced by Kias and Isuzus... Well, Nicaragua is...

    MB 1017 Camper

    MB 1017s are great trucks... I've gotten to know one pretty well since it is the oldest vehicle in my company's motorpool, a 1988 model, and had a bad history of maintenance and neglect before I moved here (typical for this country). The 1017 is a great design, very similar to the IFA W50, a...

    1st Generation Toyota 4Runner's.....

    This is what I use for the window track seals: I spray it along all the exposed track's three surfaces (window edge contacting surface, outside contacting surface and inside contacting surface) and let it run down into the section in the door, then crank the window up and down a few times to...

    ebay 2003 5spd double cab tacoma

    That is a great looking and spec.ed truck! It looks like he did the supercharger install right... bigger injector, new ECU maps and monitoring equip. That manual 5spd swap is what I have planned for my Taco in the future... if it ever breaks. Ouch.

    critique this trailer

    Great looking frame on the trailer. You might plan for some light shocks.

    Cuba- Portrait of A People

    Great photos. I've always wondered if once there is a regime change and commercial channels are open again, if there will be a flood of classic cars from Cuba on ebay...

    I've had a lot of luck with these... for the price they are hard to beat. :-D

    Carrying a canoe

    Something like this would work for a while, but I wouldn't want to use it long term. http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___58607 http://www.campmor.com/wcsstore/Campmor//static/images/watersports/larger/58607_l.jpg

    '94 truck build, the Toy

    When I lived in Colorado I saw that in winter a lot of people put 2 or 4 bags of sand at the back end of their bed to add some weight to improve traction. Take some photos of your springs... perhaps the PO has put some cheap add-a-leafs under there or something. It doesn't sound like it's...

    Does Gore-Tex really breathe ??

    Water vapor can pass through Gotetex. I was impressed by its ability once while climbing a mountain in Mexico. There was a lot of on-again-off-again drizzle and I got tired of dropping my pack to put on or take off the jacket, so I left it off. Then the drizzle turned into buckets or rain...

    The baja Bucket 1st Gen 4runner build.

    Great work bringing that 4Runner back from the brink, it looks like it was destined for the junker with that wiring and maintenance (rusted away heater valve piece?). It's coming together nicely, I look forward to more info/photos.

    Forester: ExPo Subaru Project

    Very cool project, I'll be watching this one. I've got a soft spot for Subarus since one of my dream cars as a kid was the Subaru Brat :bike_rider: Elliot Press, that one one clean machine!
