    FS: LX450 / 80 Series Landcruiser in CO

    After another few years, adventures and miles, I'm back to looking at replacing the LX with something a bit newer. Asking $8000. There are a few issues that need addressing but a lot of money in other parts/maintenance so I believe this is a fair price. Probably have at least in the mid 20's...

    SOLD: Howling Moon 1.2 Deluxe RTT (Denver/FT Collins/Boulder, CO)

    All, After finishing my RTT project, I'm selling my Howling Moon. About two years old, but not used for the last year or so. Used probably 20 nights. Tent in great condition, cover in good condition (shows a bit of wear). I have all parts for it (fly, poles, mounting HW). Tent works really...

    Anybody make Stainless or Aluminum water jugs?

    I've been poking around a bit to see if I could find any companies that make stainless or aluminum 5gal water jugs, similar in size to the MWC's or Wedco water jugs but haven't found any. I realize they'd be fairly expensive but am seriously looking into trying to find a non plastic or...

    Homebrew RTT Build Completed

    About a year back I purchased a howling moon 1.2 RTT. Good tent but really missed having a Cargo box on the roof. It was very useful for storing odd items like a shovel, chairs, fire pan, tarps, and anything else I didn't want to have to put inside the cruiser. I had kicked around building a...

    Small solar panel installed

    Finally got around to mounting the solar panel on the 80. Used stainless steel drawer slides to fit it in between two Yakima bars. Spaced with 4 old rear sway bar bushings so it can flex a bit if needed :hillbilly: It tucks nicely under the roof box, though I haven't permanently wired it yet...

    Bundu Box Substitue?

    I am in the process of designing some under-vehicle storage for tools/parts and similar bits that are not accessed very often. This will fit under the rear of the cruiser where the spare tire used to be. I had been looking at using 2 of the low lid bundu boxes, because they are fairly weather...

    Narrowest Roof Cargo Box

    Has anyone come across a yakima or thule roof box that is less than 24" wide? I'm looking for something in the range of 18" so I can put it along side a roof top tent. All the new ones I've seen start at 24" wide and go up from there.

    Home Made ARB Fridge Cover

    Over the weekend I enlisted mom to assist (and by that I mean do all the work) to make a ARB fridge cover. I didn't want to spend 200 bucks on a transit bag, and really wanted something lighter in color. The purple/blue plastic on my fridge gets noticeably warm/hot if it gets any sort of...

    Solar Panel/Charge Controller and Dual Battery Question

    So in my reading about battery chargers, it was fairly clear that using a 3 stage charger to charge 2 12v batteries in parallel is not a great idea, as one battery could be over charged during the boost/absorption stage since one battery will be "full" and the other battery may not be. Which...

    120/240V Input 12v Battery Charger Recomendation?

    I've determined that its about time to buy a REAL battery charger. I've read through a number of threads on here so I have at least a basic understanding of 3 phase battery chargers. I have a 60Ah agm die hard platinum battery, so I gather that I want ~10-20 Amp charger. Ideally I'd like to...

    Different Types of Batteries in a Dual Battery System?

    Hi All, I am getting ready to install a dual battery system, and in the planning/research stage. I am going to go with the Blue Sea 7622 as it will provide a good deal of functionality for the price, fairly straight forward installation, and I can leave my winch set up as-is. However, one...

    WTB: Small RTT near Denver, CO

    Looking for a small, good quality, good condition RTT in the general area of Denver, Colorado. So far I've narrowed my search down to the Eezi-Awn or Howling Moon 1.2 (or maybe a hannibal but those seem to be hard to find in the states now a days?) Corey

    Narrowest RTT?

    So I have been on the fence about a roof top tent for a while now. I had originally planned on building one, but I'm not sure I'll have the time now. However, most of the roof top tents I have seen take up the WHOLE roof. I would like to be able to keep my Thule roof Box on as well, which is...

    ARB Fridge "Clunk"

    For those of you that have the newer style arb fridge, do you get a "clunking" sound from the compressor area when you set down the fridge or move it around? I just got mine in the mail yesterday. Fridge works just fine, but the clunking has me worried it might drive me crazy on any sort of...

    Chaco Culture, Nov. 2010

    Seems like its the mid winter duldrums on expo, so here's a few random photo's from a short road trip down through Santa Fe, up to Taos, over to Chaco Culture NHP, up through Durango to Montrose, east to Monarch, and then back north through southpark back to front range Colorado. Went just...
