    Tiger storage ?

    I dream of buying a Tiger XL, but I wonder about storage. Along the back wall, next to the head, the seats form an L. What's under that rear seat? Since we will only be a party of two, I wonder about pulling out that rear section of the seating to reconfigure storage.

    Micro 4/3 kit

    My evolution in cameras has been a trend toward smaller and smaller cameras. The big ones (Canon 1 series, than a 40D) just were too much hassle to transport. I've never loved using a camera more than a 1D2 with a 70-200/2.8 lens, but that was a beast of a setup. I'm fully in the m4/3 camp...

    Cutting vehicle carpet ceanly?

    I'm finally getting around to running the wires for my portable power pack. These are heavy gauge wires from the battery (fused of course) to the interior of the vehicle (LX470). Crawling around under the truck I found a hole in the body, with a rubber filler. On one side of the truck this is...

    WSJ Look at the Sprinter based Airstrream

    Not 4wd of course, but fun to think about. Dan Neil wasn't very impressed. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703730804576315081449166492.html

    Iodine and Alcholo Prep pads recalled

    Don't think this has been posted yet. The recalls were announced in January and March 2011. The Triad group has recalled Alcohol Prep Pads, Alcohol Swabs, Alcohol Swabsticks, and Providine Iodine Prep Pads sold under several brand names. These pads may have potentially dangerous microbial...

    Splints

    I picked up a new first aid kit (mostly because it was on sale, not because I needed another one). REI's Backbacker kit included a wire mesh splint. I had never seen one of these. The only FA splint I am familiar with is the SAM splint. The wire mesh one is compact and light, but I wondered...

    I'm finally cleaning out all the bags I bought when I had an SLR. All items are in excellent condition. Located in the SF Bay area. Shipping costs will be whatever UPS charges me. Check or Amazon payment services. No paypal. Prices are firm unless you are buying several items, then there may...

    roof cargo box on Front Runner rack

    Now that the Christmas holidays are over (if we ever can get on a flight out of Boston), it is time to think about how to improve the cargo capacity of the truck. Has anyone mounted a Thule/Yakima cargo box on to the FR rack? I expect that they are designed to mount on round/square tubes, but...

    Solstice Vision X mod

    I run a pair of Hella Micro DE fog lights as aux lights on my motorbike. These lights have been good because they have a very pronounced vertical cut off so I can run them in traffic and not blind others. Unfortunately, the Hella's draw too much power to run with my heated gear, so I've been...

    Changes to Flex Spending Accounts in 2011

    This just floated across my radar at work: That's right folks - those fancy First Aid kits qualify under Flex Spending rules (and will continue to do so in 2011), but aspirin is off the chart in 2011.

    Kimberley vs Kamparoo

    After a couple of years of dreaming, we are ready to get a trailer sometime before next Spring. We've narrowed down our decision to a clam shell style trailer. Understanding that KKs are fairly rare in the US, we are not in a rush to buy something. We can either get a Kamparoo or wait to see...

    Frontrunner rack on a 2000 LX470

    Anyone have any experience installing these on the LX or LC? I'm putting a rack on so I can mount an awning. The Frontrunner looks interesting because I need to keep the height down so I can get into the garage.

    Mounting an awning on LX470 factory rails?

    As we fine tune our camping setup, we've decided that our free standing awning takes too much time and effort to setup/take down. A vehicle mounted awning looks like the right solution. I don't want to have to buy thule/yakima bars just for this, so has anyone mounted an awning to the factory...

    Mountain Biking the Grand Canyon

    This is our write up about our recent trip, pulled from our web site. The target audience is more generic than the Expedition Portal crowd. The Grand Canyon. The name says it all. There may be no more iconic natural wonder. Google says that there is a “Grand Canyon of..” Yellowstone...
