    FWC Finch in Denver Area?

    Does anyone in the Denver area have a FWC Finch camper that my wife and I could put eyes on? We've been looking at truck campers and bumper-pulls, but not finding much of interest. We rolled by the office of Rocky Mountain Four Wheel Campers, but they were closed and it didn't look like they...

    How to Modify Vehicle Wiring - Starting with the DO NOTs

    Poor practices in adding/modifying vehicle wiring systems is a pet peeve of mine and I see it quite frequently in do-it-yourself articles as well as instruction manuals from respected off-road manufacturers. I will readily admit that I am a bit dogmatic about wiring systems and making sure they...

    Lighting Comparison

    I am researching off-road lights for mounting on my bull bar. I'm noticing that each manufacturer chooses different methods of measuring light output (lumens vs. lux at certain distances). Does anyone know of a way to convert these measurements into a common unit so that direct comparisons can...

    Anyone using a 2wt?

    I have been on here for years and never noticed the fly fishing section of the site! Oh well, on to my question... I have a 4wt fiberglass rod (Cabela's CGr 50th anniversary 6'6") that I use with a Hardy Flyweight reel. I LOVE this setup on the Little Red River when the water is low. When...

    Concern

    My neighbor (who works in his yard quite often and is outside most of the day) informed me that there are vehicles stopping in front of my house to take pictures of my truck. Though I'm flattered that they find it interesting, I am a bit concerned about security of my vehicle. It is likely...

    Aux Fuse Block and Mount

    Thought the group might get a kick out of the aux fuse block and mounting bracket that I built for my 2013 Taco TRD Off-Road. I haven't routed the negative cable (and I'm not sure I'll use this positive cable when it's all said and done), but the hardest parts are done. I chose a Blue Sea...

    Considering a new Taco, but I have a few questions and am looking for advice...

    Hi all! I'm strongly considering purchasing a Tacoma TRD Off-Road, but have a few questions before I go down this path. Suspension: I'm looking for roughly 2" of lift and a much better off-road ride from the stock Bilsteins/coil-overs and rear leafs. I am considering the Icon Vehicle Dynamics...

    What to Look For on LC100 Series

    I'm looking at LC 100 series vehicles. I'll probably be looking at the late 90's or early 2000's models (due to price). I know some of these have lockers front, rear and in the t-case. How do I know which are so equipped? Anything I should look out for? Any information is appreciated. Thanks!

    Looking for Help?

    I've read several posts where users are trying to get information to study for their Amateur Radio License. Wouldn't it be great to have a thread where those people can post up their location and some of us who have our license can help them? Here are some thoughts of helpful things: Point...

    JetBoil

    An outdoor store in my area is going out of business and had JetBoil Java Kits on sale for half price, so I grabbed one. It makes good coffee, but I haven't really made anything else with it yet. More to come...

    Preventative Maintenance

    After my last off-road trip, I went through a bit of PM and inspection on my vehicle, but I'm sure there are some things I didn't think about checking. I found this list on the web that I thought was pretty good: http://www.4x4now.com/4whtpm.htm Any opinions on things that should be added...
