    Cheap tricks and solutions - product modifications, DIY, or repurposed items- not on-sale items

    You say that like it's a good thing... ;( .. the smell of a wood fire is one of the things I love most about fall camping. We just got back from a few days in the woods... it broke my heart to have to wash that wonderful aroma out of my clothes once we got home!

    1993 Rrc Lwb $9,500

    I had one of these, and did the same suspension replacement (sourced from Rovers North). Absolutely LOVED driving it. Wish it had been more reliable, especially electrically. Unfortunately, the salt in my area ate it over the years, and made the frequent necessary maintenance chores...

    Actual build cost vs markup on US built off road trailers/teardrops.

    I haven't looked at trailers, I'm newish here, and know pretty much nothing. With those caveats... All of my life, I've been of the "buy very used but high quality stuff cheap, fix what needs fixing yourself, and then save money with DIY improvements/addons" mindset. Sailboats, airplanes...

    WTB - Roof rack for lx470/100 series

    Looking for a rack fitting the factory mounting bolt locations on my 2005 LX470 in order to mount a fairly heavy (175lb according to rep, but it sure doesn't feel anywhere near that heavy with me and one other guy carrying it) RTT on the vehicle. I've been looking at Baja, Rhino, Gamiviti, and...

    Eezi-Awn Bat 270 Degree Awning Right Hand Side

    FWIW, I just got home, after a six hour drive, from picking up the Tepui tent Todd was selling. He did NOT ask me to do this, nor does he know I was planning on doing so. I've seen all of this gear and it's in excellent condition. Todd is a very enthusiastic, exacting, meticulous person, and...

    RTT and Roof Weight Question

    Thanks very much for the helpful reply. The issue is that I'd like to use the factory mounting points; Rhino offers a three-bar set specifically for the 100 series that lays flat across all three bars. However, the factory bolt holes are spaced at, IIRC, 26" and 28" (something like that.. I'm...

    RTT and Roof Weight Question

    Thanks for the reply. 195lbs is the shipping weight; the tent itself, according to the Tepui rep on the phone, is 175 lbs. No interest in a trailer. Not sure I'm interested in an awning; strange that you're sure I am. I've been backpacking and wilderness ground tent camping for 50 years, 95%...

    RTT and Roof Weight Question

    I've got a lot of similar questions, but I'll try to distill them as much as possible. What I have: 2005 LX470 w/ factory roof rails and two factory crossbars. Manual says not to put more than 143 pounds on "luggage rack." Tepui Ruggedized Autana 3, 175 pounds. Website and phone rep say...

    2005 LX470 VAIS Audio add-ons for Levinson sound system - SOLD

    In the process of repairing my CD/DCD changer, I discovered some VAIS modules nestled within the dash. I'm pretty sure they work, but have no way to test them because one is an interface for an older style iPod with the long flat thin multipin connector, and the other is for Sirius satellite...
