    Mains-capable ACDCDC charger?

    Is there a DCDC charger that also takes mains 120/240VAC as optional input to keep BOTH/all batteries intelligently charged whilst on shore? This may be super obvious, and I must be missing something? I'm not reading in any of the more advanced DCDC charger systems that support this? Is my...

    Starting out Lightweight Dual-Sport. Want to stay light + simple. Recommendations for Jacket + Pant?

    I used to ride street, and a tiny bit of MX. Just bought a Honda CRF300L, with a number of key Rally mods on the way. Plan is for both literal and figurative light dirt touring (2-5 days). As basic as this sounds, I am struggling with pants and jacket. it seems either MX-style (add your own...

    For those who have custom lateral drawer systems in your wagons (Troopies, LCs, &c), if you had to do it all over again: What newer/lighter materials would you use?

    LC100 Camperback Conversions?

    TL;DR: I now own a "slightly" rolled (2003) UZJ100 in the stable. Side airbags deployed so I don't even have said airbags to worry about anymore. A full rear corner of the vehicle is crunched. I'd really like to consider a camperback. Love the Maltec design, pictured below. Who else is...

    Stay 15" tires or move to 17"?

    FJ80. 15" wheels stock. Fitting ~33"s. Would you stay 15s for more sidewall or move to 17s? I have both OEM 15" and 17" wheels. 17 is the new 15. Options for tires are plentiful anyway. Any reason y'all would stray from 15?

    Fuel on roof. Fore or aft?

    I get it. Not the best place for fuel, atop the roof. I need a minimum of 10 extra gallons and don't have a larger/auxiliary tank. Due to weight and sloshing would you advise to mount them towards the front or the rear of a full length roof rack. Why?

    For a short period of time, I would tour with a set of waterproof duffel bags (large North Face) on the roof, properly packed and strapped down. I mostly tour with 4 people, three of them are now adult-sized, myself included :) This is where lightweight clothing, kids stuff, and other...

    ¿What tire size do you wish existed? But does not.

    Some of us have to make compromises on tire sizing. Through the plethora of options, do you want a size that is simply not made? I do: 275/85R16 would have been ideal on my old LC80. A step up from the venerable 255s, but give a bit more width for larger vehicles, 255/80R18 keeps the skinny...
