Manu! Sorry Frank I haven't been hanging out here in the Portal as much as I once was. We replaced the locks with Yale home locks... There is a thread here in expo somewhere about it if I recall correctly. Hope everything is cool wherever you are. I'm sweating my ***** off in Bulgarian heat...

Could I ask if you were checking the house battery voltage after a couple of days of use? An 80 amp hour battery would take a beating from a 60qt fridge and a Fantastic Fan/Endless Breeze fan. I am mostly curious. Thank you.

Hey Pilot enjoy the pre trip and the planning! I got sort of lucky cause I replaced my gas engine with a newly rebuilt 12HT and I therefore had a pretty much brand new engine. Other than that I did all necessary maintenance typically needed by Landcruisers. Knuckles, all oils replaced, new...

1/2" indeed Jeepin :)

I meant to post this up when I uploaded it. Here is our set up. The FJ 60 has been in the US for about 10 months or so. We drove around 18 countries, over 4 years and over 70 thousand miles with this drawer set up and it is still solid if a bit scarred here and there. I used prefinished...

Thanks Sloan. The legs are recessed under the "kitchen" drawer.

Well the Landcruiser has been back in the U.S. for 10 months now. After over 4 years and over 70k miles around the Americas it is back in California and has been my daily driver since. In 3 weeks it is going in storage for about 7 months while we do another leg of our world travels without it...

One of my favorite rigs from Overland Expo this year Tank5. Glad I found this thread with more info.

This is so awesome! Thank you for sharing Paul.

Genius MANUCHAO!

I placed it further back so that my Pelican could be in front of it to deflect branches and bugs... aerodynamics? Who would I kid... I drive an unstoppable heavy diesel brick on wheels

I like the design, what cooler box do you use? I've been using 4x4Labs rear bumper for the last 5 years and a lot of abuse and they are still hanging in there well. I stand on the tire frequently to get to the RTT with no issues. Stout.

Indeed, the D250S has an incorporated charge controller (a very nice one) that you do NOT have to use, but you are paying for it. If you need it in the future I would say it is a good choice. As far as diagram: I could tell you I will do it, but right now it probably won't happen... I am in...

Hey Dan you can send me questions in a PM or by email if you like as well. As far as which Engel to get I'd say for 2 people I would not go smaller than the 45. We were quite happy with it. The draw on the different size fridges is similar because I do believe they all share the same "innards"...

I do not find your post pedantic DiploStrat, I found it very informative. I stated on the OP that we were dropping the battery below 11.5v while remote camping for several days at a time and before we enjoyed the luxury of the current set-up (though I admit I could use more jucie from a larger...

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had! Well worth trying... I am gonna give it a shot with puff pastry.

Thanks Scott. We have been horrible at keeping our blog updated...In fact I believe according to our blog we are still in Bolivia which was well over 6 months ago. We became a lot more active in Facebook and Instagram which are a bit friendlier for quick simple posts (a photo and a one liner)...

Our awnings are standard CampingLab side awning and rear (we call it tailgate awning). Sadly Campinglab is no longer around, but ARB or any chinese made are all about the same. The nice thing about them is they are fairly stout so we add weather protection by attaching silicone tarps wherever we...

To be honest, when I registered I had no idea that there could be an issue... I went to the DMV said I had swapped the engine to a diesel, they came out to check I was not lying and that was it... I know nothing of the law, but I had no problem and the DMV lady didn't think twice about approving...
