    Turn-Key Overland Built Tacoma and AT Summit $56K -- SOLD

    Great work Chris! You've checked all my wish list boxes, except for maybe sliders. I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering what it weighs though; ever parked it on a scale?

    Lite weight campers & RVs. Consumers/customers need to push manufacturers....

    I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this question too. FWC sells their shells starting at $8,300, and that's increasing in Dec. Seems to be the market sweet spot for a quality shell.

    Poll- Do you actually sleep inside?

    This photo illustrates just how much water vapor your lungs produce overnight. If you're sleeping inside the passenger compartment, pack a window chamois. When the sun hits your windshield later that day, you'll regret not wiping the windows when you woke up. I've slept under a topper a lot...

    Camp Shower Showdown

    Vehicle mounted systems are certainly impressive, but they seem unnecessary on so many fronts to me when you don't have to spend too much or create mud and exhaust in camp. Also, I wonder if anyone has ever sprung a leak when a hose or heat exchanger froze? I presume you have to blow these out...

    Induction cooktop???

    I've learned a lot about indoor air quality recently as it relates to residential construction. CO and NO2 levels in a small house without a proper exhaust hood are enough to make one consider an induction range at home. In such a confined space as a camper or tent, eliminating open flames is...

    Anyone ever make their own road shower device?

    I'd vote for a more portable option. Ever since I made this for about $85, I've lost all desire for a vehicle mounted system. Pack it empty, dunk it in a stream, heat it on a fire or a burner and wander off to a nice private spot without creating mud at your feet where you step into your...

    Check your pulley bearings. I did the same thing with my '99. Turned out to be the idler pulley bearing in my case. Good luck!

    OEM part source for the DIY right crowd

    Thanks trailscape. Just got off the phone with Moog who confirmed that they are still getting their parts from Sankei, which is the factory behind the 555 stamp. http://www.sankei-555.co.jp/

    OEM part source for the DIY right crowd

    Also, a shout out to Low Range Off Road for their great how-to videos and for bringing the OEM - 555 connection to light. Unfortunately, they are out of TRE's right now.

    OEM part source for the DIY right crowd

    I am going through the front end of my 99 Taco to tighten things up and I'm looking for a supplier that cares about OEM quality parts. My research has led me to look for the 555 stamp on tie rod ends and ball joints, which is easier said than done online. I'm nowhere near a big city, and I'd...

    2009 Subaru Legacy GT - manual

    Greetings! With a degree of reluctance, I've decided to sell the car that I know I'll miss. I've written a long CL ad with details, so here it is: http://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/5068742020.html I'll update the price in the ad if it drops and shave 750 off for expo members. I'm happy to...
