    Wait, do I actually want a van? How about a travel trailer?

    The prices of new Sprinters give me heartburn - as well as the build quality snafus from the SC plant. Personally, a used 4x4 German-built Sprinter at a reasonable price would be much more tolerable. I'd encourage you to seek out a lower mileage 17-18 NCV3 4x4 from an area where they don't...

    Wait, do I actually want a van? How about a travel trailer?

    I've gone through a few iterations of family camping set-ups over the past 10 years... Short story - full-size trailering and exploring off-the-beaten-path camp spots are incompatible. A pop-up is a happy medium worth looking into.... but they are all built with questionable...

    Dilemma deciding what to get

    Looks great and no Nav -- if its clean underneath I would offer $12.5K and go from there.

    Dilemma deciding what to get

    I like the bold ALL OPTIONS and then it lacks lockers.... I am a die hard 80 guy but I think most people would have a happier ownership experience in 2016 starting in a 100.

    FZJ80 Center Diff Lock Issue?

    Were you on a surface where the wheels could hook up - e.g. pavement, gravel or compacted dirt? Then normal. The center diff should not be locked unless you has noticeable wheel spin, e.g. mud, sand etc.

    Not for the faint at heart - (LC100 content)

    This rig traded hands fairly recently I believe. Lack of stability control and new to the platform driver I bet..

    James Baroud or Autohome roof top tent

    Theron has a million (literally) followers on Instagram and his pictures are published the world over. If it were me (and my business) I would have overnighted him a tent for free even if we purposely hit it with a sledgehammer. Surely $3000 is nothing compared to the possible favorable exposure.

    $50 cargo net barrier

    Here was my solution for my 80 - copied from Mud.. We are taking our German Shepard with us on some much needed Memorial Day R&R. Looking for safe way to keep him from flying across the cabin I began looking for solutions. Metal was out as it would be too heavy. I really liked the Raingler net...

    Turbo Tent users, step inside please

    They have a few every now and that come up on their eBay outlet. What is the packed length of your 3 person? BlackPine doesn't list packed sizes anywhere! Thats the one struggle I have with the 6 person - its 48in long and my cargo area is 44in.

    Turbo Tent users, step inside please

    Keep an eye on their eBay page here. I have a 6 Person Deluxe (Canvas) that I picked up for $220. It's been a great tent. Creates serious envy when it goes up immediately when other are struggling with poles. Honest deployment in less than 5 minutes sans rain fly. I do agree that it packs quite...

    Seat covers?

    Likely going in this direction.. had them send a few samples. One can go through Escape Gear directly for covers. With the dollar holding strong a full set shipped is about $550.

    New ARB fridge changes

    Hold the + & - buttons together. After 5 seconds or so it will allow you to change the temp reading offset up or down 5 (maybe 10, cant remember) degrees.

    To Land Cruiser 80 Or Not To Land Cruiser 80?

    These were $50K trucks when new. The parts don't depreciate like the vehicles. Read this: http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/should-i-buy-an-80-costs-of-ownership.124556/

    2006 Fleetwood Neon - Compact Pop Up / RTT Alternative - Trail Ready in Virginia

    Selling my 2006 Fleetwood Neon Pop-Up camper. I purchased this for a month long trip across CO, UT, NV, ID and MT. It performed very well. This is the most compact modern pop up sold in recent times. It tracks smaller than most vehicles and is pretty nimble off road. It has a fully boxed frame...

    Latest Photo?

    The bloated yet lighter duty, under engineered, column shift American cousin. I say this in good spirit - as I have a line on a clean 2006 for hauler duty. But Land Cruiser pedigree is debatable :sombrero:

    My first Land Cruiser need advice.

    For the sake of Land Cruiser conservation go with the WJ :bike_rider: I don't think these rigs should be relegated to beater status.
