    spare tire shaped water storage?

    Under mounted spare tires are typically mounted though the middle. That's an additional requirement to consider when seeking quotes, and will probably make it much harder.

    spare tire shaped water storage?

    In case anyone is looking for inspiration (or curious about how this might work) I think this is the idea behind the spare tire water carrier. I'd love to do this, but perhaps not spend $300+ to make it happen.

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    wonder Great story, loved the whole thing. You did many things differently than I would have, but let's face it I won't be doing anything of the sort any time soon. I am headed to India soon, that's not in the same league. Anyway, I just wanted to console you a little regarding the negative...

    Let's build an Expedition trailer (pictorial)

    I have a lot of family in and around Lowville (I'll wager your angry farmer was either family or friend of my family), I'm always surprised to hear anyone has actually been there since it seems so out of the way. I have never seen the wind farm (yet), but I'd like to. In your pictures the...

    Advice on a 2006 UZJ100

    I'm looking to buy a 100 (nearly got one off of a member here, but it was too far away). I found a pretty good deal on one not too far from me ($35k, with under 60k miles). There is a big 'but' however; it's had about $3000 in maintenance over the last 3 months. Both the telescoping and...

    FS, 04 LC 100, built, NC

    I wanted to let you know that I agonized over this for a few days and I think it's just too far away, when there are plenty of more local deals to be had. Love your rig, good luck with the sale, and free bump to the top :)

    FS, 04 LC 100, built, NC

    Thanks for the pics, this looks like a real option, although the lack of third row seats is a bummer. I assume the anchors for seat belts and seats are still there if I came up with my own seats? I'm looking locally as well, although I'd prefer your rig, I found some deals much closer to me...

    FS, 04 LC 100, built, NC

    perfect, wrong coast I'm in the market for a 100 of that vintage with pretty much those exact mods, although I'm on the other coast... :( I have a couple questions: - This will be my wifes DD, do you foresee a problem with that? (Highway manners? in town manners? Stiff over speed bumps?) -...

    fj headlights

    For snow/rain visibility I've found fog lights are the way to go. You need a well dispersed flood style light mounted down low to minimize reflection. Some people have told me that a yellow tint helps, but I have no personal experience with that, I always go with a clear white light (I figure...

    Questionable 4Runner?

    There are plenty of problems that may only show up later on a shade tree mechanic job. Things like careless wiring routing can lead to shorts years later. Or a hack job on a fitting might lead to a difficult to detect leak long after the fact. The good thing about dealer mechanics is that...

    Flip pac

    This is my first post!!! Although I've lurked for a long time. Found this on the local craigslist: http://bend.craigslist.org/rvs/1081347496.html No association, yadda yadda yadda... I'm not even sure if it's a good price.
