Anyone know of a battery isolator/voltage sensing relay with adjustable set points available in the US? Something like this: http://www.intervolt.com/product/electronic-battery-isolator/#horizontalTab3

A friend pointed me to this concept to get around many of the annoyances of the roof top tent while maintaining the comfort and convenience: http://www.hitchnpitch.com/ It is an interesting idea, and I particularly like the ability to disconnect the tent and leave it set up at your campsite...

The ultimate light weight, go anywhere adventure mobile! 2004 Tacoma Xtra-cab TRD off road, V6 manual with 112,000 miles, silver with grey interior. This is an absolutely reliable, non-smoking, low mileage, two owner Colorado truck. The truck is largely unmolested and well maintained...

Has anyone added some sort of backing to semi-flexible solar panels (such as these) to make them easier to use as a portable panel? For context, I would like to have a portable panel to supplement my 160W hard mounted rigid panel, however weight is an issue. The semi-rigid panels are super...

I have a large (~40" x 72") under bed drawer that fits between the frame rails of the alumimium flatbed on our Tacoma. We use the drawer primarily to store the entry ladder for our FWC fleet and some other miscellaneous items, but not more than 50lb total. For V1.1 of the drawer used UHMWPE...

We have only had our new FWC Fleet flatbed for a little over a month, and I can already see that the the lack of detail on the factory gauge panel is going to be an issue. We have already added a Victron BMV-700 battery monitor to get a better idea of available battery capacity. Now I am...

There have been many threads discussing the inexpensive Baofeng/Wouxon/TYT hand held radios, but not too much discussion of their more recent mobile counter parts. Does anyone have any experience with the various mobile options, for example: Leixen VV-898 BTech UV-2501 QYT KT8900 I am not a...

I am replacing the the bed of my brand new 2016 Silver Sky Tacoma long bed with a flat bed and a custom Four Wheel Camper. As a result, I have a lot of essentially new (< 300miles), genuine Toyota parts that I will be removing next weekend. I would prefer local pick up in Boulder CO, but...

I am waiting on the delivery of a 2016 Tacoma DCLB TRD Off Road and a Four Wheel Camper Fleet model to be permanently mounted on it. In the meantime I have been doing a lot of reading here, on Wander the West and Tacoma World (ugh) about how to beef up the suspension on the Tacoma. I have...

Does anyone have any experience using an Android Head Unit instead of a tablet for doing tablety things like mapping? I have used several tablets in my vehicles over the years (Ipad 1, Samsung Galaxy 7 etc) and while I have found them useful, the 'futz factor' has always gotten me in the end...

SOLD Brand new in box DMSolar 158W 12V mono-crystalline rigid solar panel. This particular panel is the highest wattage 26" wide (26" x 58" x 1.5") panel that I could find, great for a roof rack or camper roof, it is about 15 - 25% more efficient than poly-crystalline or amorphous panels of...

I installed (i.e. glued) a 'semi flexible' 100W solar panel which I purchased on ebay (direct from China) on the roof of my pop-top land cruiser. Disappointingly, while the panel tested fine before installation, at some point during/after attaching it to the roof, the output current dropped to a...

I was going to post a response to a thread revived from the dead by a spammer in the Computers section, but decided this was a more appropriate forum. I recently installed a Wilson Sleek cellular amplifier and external antenna in my car, and have been quite impressed with the results. While...

I have a 2000 Land Cruiser that I have converted to a pop-top camper, and I had a couple of questions about improving the stock suspension. The vehicle is 200 - 400 pounds above the stock empty weight with the pop top, a 60L water tank and a heavier rear bumper - and as a result we are seeing...

Has anyone mounted a fiamma F35 (or F45 for that matter) to a flat vertical surface? I have a 2.2m F35 wich I am planning on attaching to a vertical aluminium surface on my new Land Cruiser camper project (I need to make a thread on this at some point!), and am waffling between attaching a...

I really enjoy using Gaia and Topomaps on my iPad, however I was wondering if there was an app for which you could cache an entire state's worth of maps (much like the National Geographic Topo!)? It seems that in Gaia and Topomaps, you are limited in the number of tiles you can download at...

I have the following parts removed from a 2000 UZJ100 Land Cruiser. This may fit other years from 1998 - 2007, however it is the buyers responsibility to ensure compatibility. Complete sunroof assembly, minus headliner cover and switch console. This includes the original Toyota glass (in great...

I am planning on installing a passive keyless entry module in my 2000 Land Cruiser, but I have been having trouble finding the correct wires to splice into. The online 'guides' for installing an alarm/remote starter all refer to a certain color wire located at either ' 20-PIN PLUG, PASSENGER...

I have been having some issues with the low voltage cut-off on my 43L Edgestar fridge and was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem. The issue is that the low voltage cut-off engages at too high a voltage. I was doing some testing last night, and the cut-off would come on (with...

I have a request for anyone who is either currently in Tasmania, or is familiar with the north west coast of Tasmania. I am an atmospheric scientist involved in scientific ballooning, and at the conclusion of one of our experiments some equipment ended up in Tasmania near the town of Temma...
