    Maggiolina Autohome Airtop Roof Tent $1900 Seattle

    Five years old in excellent condition. This is the "small" model for two people. Fits perfectly on top of my Sequoia without hanging over the sides. I'm 6'1" and have plenty of room. Does have a fiberglass repair in one corner. These cost close to $5k new with shipping and tax.

    Changing COG with Spare Tire Carrier on Montero Sport

    I managed to score a complete MS spare tire carrier with a color matched bumper no less. The only part missing is the internal backing plate (use really big washers instead?). I know it will look cool, but most importantly I can use a Trasheroo, put a ladder for the roof tent on it, have...

    Longer Sway Bar Links with Lift?

    Installed the OME springs and cranked the torsion bars up on my Sport awhile back. Supposedly it nets 1.5" of lift, but looks like a little more to me. It's pretty stiff, glad I went with the medium and not heavy duty springs! Wondering if I should install an inch or two longer sway bar...

    New Montero Sport Owner with a Hum

    Hi, New Montero Sport owner here. Really impressed with this truck so far, even after replacing the valve gasket and anticipating replacing a leaky cam seal:) It's a sweet ride with OME medium springs and Tokico shocks, and 19 mpg with roof tent. Have a hum or vibration noise coming from the...

    Waeco CF35 Fridge with Waeco Transit Bag

    2 year old Waeco CF35 cooler with Waeco transit bag. The outside of the case looks close to new. The zipper on the transit bag is coming unstitched a little and could maybe be glued, but otherwise it's fine. This fridge is lighter, quieter, twice as efficient, and ten times more reliable than an...

    Escape Gear Seat Covers for FZJ80 FJ80 LX450 Land Cruiser

    A used set of front seat covers for the 80 series cruisers in excellent, stain free condition. Very heavy duty tan cotton canvas. Originally for the SA versions of the 80 series, I used these on a LX450. The seat adjustment levers were covered up, but you could still work them through the cover...

    iBook G4 Laptop, MacGPS Pro Software, Magellan Explorist GPS

    I have a very clean 800 mhz G4 ibook, new battery, charger, OS 10.4, loaded with MacGPS Pro software. Also included is a Magellan Explorist 210 with USB cable and the MacTops 100k USGS topo set for the US on DVD. All together this makes a very capable and flexible navigation system. You can...

    Kudos to Safari Limited in Grand Junction

    Had a nagging mechanical problem on our LX450 on our summer Southwest adventure. After the Maze, White Rim, Beef Basin, etc., I was getting lean codes, it pinged a lot, and generally had lost power. My cursory attempts at a fix didn't help much. I was prepared to get fiscally ravaged by the...

    Dual bluetooth GPS for Ipad, Ipod, etc.

    Glad I waited, this one seems to make the most sense so far: Amazon.com: XGPS150 Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver for iPad, iPod touch, iPhone and other smartphones, tablets and laptops: Electronics

    Orphan Ride-Washington to India for Charity

    I put this up in "In Progress Expeditions" too. It might be taboo to cross post, but it is a worthy charity. http://www.orphanride.org Andrew is, or was, my barber. He was a great barber, but I think he's an even better cyclist/adventurer/philanthropist. He and his brother are riding their...

    Orphan Ride- Two Brothers Bicycle from Washington to India for Charity

    http://www.orphanride.org Andrew is, or was, my barber. He was a great barber, but I think he's an even better cyclist/adventurer/philanthropist. He and his brother are riding their bicycles from Bellingham, WA to Andrha Pradesh, India, to raise awareness and money for an orphanage there...

    FS: National Luna Dual Battery Controller Kit

    I used this kit for about a year in my Jeep Cherokee XJ and it worked flawlessly. I bought a new truck that came with a dual battery system already installed, so off this one goes. I chopped about a foot off of the 20 or so feet of battery cable, but otherwise everything from the $375 kit is...

    99 4runner with 140k?

    Would a 99 4runner Limited 3.4 auto with a 140k miles be worth making into an expo rig? I'm smitten by any vehicle that comes with a factory diff locker. I think this one might have the 4.30 gearing too?

    Bike Racks on Trailers

    I have a 2" receiver on the back of my Canadian M101 that I was planning on putting a bike rack on. Now that I'm shopping for bike racks I notice that they all say not to mount them to a trailer. Why exactly is that? Too bumpy of a ride? Has anyone done it anyways?

    Preferred Pintle Hitch for Canadian M101?

    Can anyone recommend a particular brand of pintle hitch that fits tightly on the Canadian M101 pintle? I have the Drawtite brand from etrailer and it seems a little loose. I can almost get me pinky finger in there.

    Dual Battery Alternative

    I might not keep this vehicle that long, so I'm no sure I want to go to the trouble and expense of installing a wired in system like the National Luna to power my fridge. As an option I thought of putting a low voltage alarm/ shutoff on the main battery (suggestions for a source for one?) and...

    Michelin XCL tires

    Recently picked up a Canadian M101 trailer in great shape. I plan to put my roof tent on it and all that. I really dig the Michelin XCL tires on it. They look fairly new, but they are 17 years old and I can feel some slight bumps on the sidewalls. Are they safe to run?

    Wind Deflector for RTT

    The aero drag on my brick-like Mombasa Expedition Tent (ARB, Camping Lab, etc.) is one of it's biggest cons in my experience. I'm wondering if a deflector like this one- www.expresstoolsandcamping.com.au/my_cube.htm would help much.

    Lightweight Expo Trailer

    I would like a small trailer just to haul the roof tent, 3-4 jerry cans, and a few camping odds and ends on forest service roads and maybe 2.5 rated trails. I'm thinking around 300 lbs of gear or so. An M416 seems like overkill for my needs, with trailer weighing about three times as much as...
