Anyone know a good place in LA or O.C. with experience tricking out a Lexus GX for overlanding? My usual place mostly works on Jeeps or Ford trucks.

Which current production Subaru is most capable off-road?

I'm trying to get into off-roading/overlanding on a budget. At this point I can't replace my primary vehicle with a good 4x4, so I'm thinking about perhaps buying a beater for adventures. I'm not a mechanical person at all. The extent of my experience is putting on a spare tire. I was...

http://www.ciclavia.org/ Sunday, April 21, 2013 10:00am until 3:00pm Sun, surf, and 15 miles of open road will mark the first CicLAvia of 2013, transforming Venice Boulevard and downtown Los Angeles streets into a car-free, linear park for strolling, biking, playing, and exploring the city...

Our 2nd Amendment Rights are under attack like never before. Don't just sit there expecting someone else to take up the struggle. Even if you live in heavily anti-gun state such as California, stand up for yourself. Many people think it's pointless to waste time contacting elected...

I'm wondering what most of you keep in your vehicles? I'm primarily interested in stuff to keep on board in the city for every day driving, not necessarily for overlanding. I apologize for going slightly off topic.

I'm a noob, so bear with me: What is the big obstacle to bringing a HiLux to the US? I believe they are sold in Mexico. If I were to buy one in Mexico, what in particular would prohibit me from taking it home and registering it in CA? Can it be modified to US legal specs inexpensively...

I see a lot of discussion on the Expedition Portal re. diesel engined Land Cruisers and Hilux trucks etc. and many people wishing they could buy the foreign market versions here in the US. How much of a difference in maximum range are we talking on a single tank of fuel between the diesels...

For anyone in Southern California, be sure to check out http://www.ciclavia.org/. It's the awesomest cycling event there is and it's completely free and fun for the whole family!

Beyond cosmetics & the availability of a diesel engine, what is the difference between the two? Why is the Hilux preferred?

Has anyone from the expedition community been in touch with the Toyota product development people? Any chance of a less luxurious, more rugged, cheaper version of the Landcruiser? How about a long wheelbase FJ Cruiser? A Diesel Tacoma?
