    Owning and Overlanding in a FJ40 - What are the Pros and Cons?

    "but rest assured a well maintained (as opposed to built)" Well maintained means stock systems functioning as new... 100% agree with your point that the more modifications you make to a 40 the less reliable they become.

    Owning and Overlanding in a FJ40 - What are the Pros and Cons?

    Many people go around the world on a motorcycle two up. There isn't a bike made that can carry what a 40 carries so lets render the capacity parameter moot. The same can be said about comfort. Comfort and capacity are a matter of choice. Reliability is not... Its not all that hard to make a...

    2nd Gen Raptor Thoughts/Comments

    Have a 2019... Love the ride and drive. The 3.5 has more power than I am willing to use 99.99% of the time. Tows extremely well as the torque curve is table flat. The 10 speed is a great transmission (but a little nervous sometimes). Sound is subjective, the quieter the better for me so there...

    2017 4runner v 2017 Landcruiser

    This comment 10X... Daily drive a 2006 Hundy. Rented a 2017 4Runner at Christmas and was surprised at how poorly it compared to an 11 year old Cruiser. Would not trade my 100K mile Cruiser for a brand new Runner.

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    Thats cold... Funny but cold! Paul, When Mike and I were talking about how to move ahead with the Jeep one of the hurdles was the spare tire. If its on the back in a swing away, cabin access was awkward and putting it up top has a bunch of drawbacks as well... One of the thoughts that came...

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    It looks like the best course of action will be to get the local DA involved enough to file charges and then take the loss on your taxes. Not the course of action anybody would want to take but probably the only avenue to minimize the actual loss. There is a pattern of criminality demonstrated...

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    OK Red Cannon here is your shot at making your case. If all the things you say are true you will have receipts or records as to how the $10K was spent. As a fresh startup you might not have 100% of it accounted for but please share with the board some basic accounting. Extra credit if you...

    Anybody around here remember the "Wenzel" affair on Pirate? http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/general-********-chat-classics/399203-d60-rear-4-88s-35-spline.html Things are going to go sideways for Red Cannon really quick if they don't make some amends. Its not going to take long for a google search...

    Lite weight campers & RVs. Consumers/customers need to push manufacturers....

    I am not sure if you are trying to be funny here or are just that out of the loop with what the majority of the Elk hunters use for 6-8 weeks at a time in all kinds of weather conditions most of that being cold/snow at high elevations...

    Lite weight campers & RVs. Consumers/customers need to push manufacturers....

    Not exactly... My "Expeditioning" is severely limited by vacation time... Literally nothing else. Alaska aside where can one go in the USA and Canada that fuel range is a problem? How about water? Unless a person is incredibly unlucky we just flat out don't have logistical problems in North...

    Lite weight campers & RVs. Consumers/customers need to push manufacturers....

    This post resonates... I have done 7 days unsupported with a backpack on the PCT, snow camped for 2-3 days at a time on may occasions, 10 days semi-supported on any number of dual sport motorcycles (Usually GS's). Have owned two different Four Wheel pop-ups. (One on an early Bronco and One on a...
