    Tacoma and flat bed with Canopy

    Ok, so this might be in the wrong place but I’m considering picking up a Tacoma, but I wanted to do the PCOR 3/4 canopy. Unfortunately I have found that they are no longer made. Why? I have no idea. So can someone point to some other sources for these? I don’t really know much about them...

    Keeping an iPad 12.9 Pro charged while using

    So I use this for my navigation and I find that the typical BlueSea 1045 USB charger can't keep the iPad's battery from discharging. It only slows down the discharge. The opening for a 1045 is a 1 1/8" hole. I suspect that the only way to keep the battery from discharging during use is to...

    Midland MXT400

    I just found out that the trail ride I am on this weekend switched to GMRS from CB. Well, I have HAM and CB. So I just paid the $70 which I thought was being reduced and I've been told will be approved overnight but I'm not holding my breath. I'm not the type to go cheap so I will probably...

    RTT wiring

    I am about to start wiring in my RTT and get some 12v charging points up there. I also wanted to install a light bar on my rack. I noticed someone's install at a meet and greet that they had what looked like an amphenol type plug/harness which had multi-points that could be used instead of...

    One of my winter projects was to get one of these installed and I did so in my Land Cruiser using Slee’s second battery tray and mount. After install everything ran as expected and continued to do other things for an upcoming trip. Went to show a buddy the system and it won’t turn on. This...

    Shot in the dark but hoping someone may be willing to help. I’ve been eyeballing the new line of National Luna fridges and trying to figure out how to get the 72L to fit my setup. No dice on fitment so decided on the 60L dual control. A couple of weeks ago Equipt started a weekly sale so I...

    Looking for opinions, having a tough time deciding. Right now I am trying to decide between the National Luna 55L Classic fridge and the NL 60L Twin Bin combo with one lid. I am leaning 55 Classic for simplicity and not really too sure how much I will need a freezer, but the combo does...

There was one...

    Rebuild a $2k 80?

    I'm in the market for a Land Cruiser, and yes it will be my first. I've looked at six so far locally and all have been overpriced and really pretty sad. I feel I'm at a crossroads. As much as I'd like an 80 a 100 appeals to the reliability side of me. We live in sw chicago and spent time out...
