    Just FYI - Engel cooler price drop...

    No affiliation, just saw the pricing had dropped from their regular amounts. Not as inexpensive as RTIC, but I've never seen Yeti/Grizzly/Canyon/Orca/Pelican/Etc do a price drop like this. I long waffled over an rugged, expensive cooler or saving up for a fridge/freezer but the price and 24in...

    Tongue-mounted stone guards...

    Why don't we see these here in the U.S.? Weight can't be a problem as these appear to be aluminum-framed with poly netting stretched over them. Aerodynamics should also be a minor consideration with them being mounted so low between the tow vehicle and trailer. And yet it seems our idea of...

    Hema Maps featured in Fall 2015 ArcUser magazine...

    Just got the new edition of ArcUser magazine at our office and I was immediately struck by the cover which was very ExPo-ish... On page 64 they profile Hema Maps, which was first brought to my attention by Mr. Scott Brady (of course). The article is also online -...

    2015 Chevy Colorado off road review...

    No 'technical' trails, pretty much SoCal mountain dirt road stuff, but it seems like there's finally some stiff competition for the Tacoma as far as the new Colorado being a good starting point for a camping/overland vehicle. Will be nice to see this segment of the truck market finally get some...

    Teardrop Cover on sale at Woot...

    Ran across this a few minutes ago. Thought someone out there might be interested. No affiliation with Woot, just love their oddball sales. Never know what you will find. 4 days left in sale (from 02/27/2014) or until sold out. Limit 5 per customer, lol. But hey, at that price it might be worth...

    An evolution in 80-Series ownership...

    First off, THESE ARE NOT MY TRUCKS, lol. Well the FJC in the first picture is, but that's not why we're here in the Land Cruiser forum! My good buddy Matt just seems to be too 'delicate' to post his own pictures (he's in Sales) or some other namby-pamby reason like that... :ylsmoke: Hey, if you...

    Used Sportsmobile spotted for sale in Central TX...

    Figured I'd pass the word in case anyone was looking for one. Appears to be a 2010 Chevrolet 6.0L V8 with 18k miles and they're asking $55k right now. Somebody stuck a GM Hybrid badge on it, but I'm figuring that's gotta be a joke, right? http://www.stahmannrv.com/pre_owned_detail.asp?veh=2560203

    'Ultralight' Teardrop, lol...

    Not sure I would have gone with the 'bacardi bat' wheel centers myself... :sombrero: Just a little trailer humor to start off your week!

    Skersfan's build for Old Sarge, May 2012...

    Well Folks, the new build has begun, and once again I have the honor of bringing you the first pics. But first a short word from our intrepid builder... "This is production trailer number 1. Some major changes in the frame. The first one was extremely strong, but had some rough points for me...

    Two for one accident...

    It is with heavy heart that I relate to you the story of an innocent Land Cruiser parked on the street that still got the better of a passing Lincoln Aviator (that was probably going 45mph in a 30mph zone). Just after dark last night one of my friend Matt was sitting at home with his wife and...

    Trailer tracks..

    Apologies if it's repost, but I didn't see these on here yet... Before you guys all start throwing cold water on me let me just say that my inner trailer-geek thoroughly understands that the cool factor is ominously overshadowed by the fact that the lightest pair still weighs +800lbs and no one...

    Wagon trailers?..
