    Arctic and extreme cold weather gear

    My experience from living in Alaska: The white "Bunny Boots" are very warm, as long as you keep your feet dry. They are technically vapor barrier boots (VB boots) so there is zero permeability; change your socks often. Also x2 on the mukluks. What I saw was that people would wear the mukluks...

    Australia: The Long Way Downunda

    I've been to Sydney several times courtesy of Uncle Sam... I recommend a "pub crawl" of the old pubs in the colonial Sydney area (I think it was called the Docks or Rocks or something similar). They are more than a hundred years old and you can almost feel the history in the charmingly dark...

    Custom permanent water storage?

    Try Plastic Mart: http://plastic-mart.com/. I too have an '07 FJ, but with only one of the rear seats removed. I'm exploring some semi-permanent options also. Will be interesting to see someone else's ideas.:iagree:

    Interesting Land Rover Defender

    I love Defenders, in a bad way. Given the rarity of NAS rigs that can be licensed in the U.S., I wonder if it would be possible to take a U.S.-legal Disco and drop a sourced Defender body onto it, to get that Defender "feel" but with the stock Disco running gear... Any lawyers comment on if we...
