I was trying to reach Downey yesterday and the phone rang and rang. I tried again this morning, and it is Disconnected. I have a manual hub conversion that was sold by Off Road Solutions, now out of business. I broke an outer CV joint a few months ago and used my spare. To replace the spare...

My son had saved enough money to buy a simple personal GPS for geocaching, so we stopped by Gander Mountain to pick one up. Because I had spent over $100 before Christmas, Gander Mountain had given me a $10 gift card to be used in January 09. I had three gift cards. I gave one to my son for...

While off pavement yesterday, I got a chance to use my new Extreme Outback Ultimate Puncture Repair Kit that I bought from Adventure Trailers shortly after getting home from the Expedition Trophy 2008. My son and I went shooting at a buddy's ranch yesterday. I used my Stauns to air down to 16...

I'm looking for a 4Runner for my kids. My wife recently locked in on a safety report by the NHTSA that stated the 2001-2004 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 had the best driver death rating (there were a couple better, but they were the expensive luxury lines like Mercedes). I was pleased that there was a...

Anyone have one for sale?

Compliments of Sierra Expeditions, I have four brass reducer bushings, VIAIR part #92812. They are 1/4" Male NPT to 1/8"Female NPT. PM me your address if you need them. One or all. They look similar to the one on the left in the picture .

New (for me) HT - Kenwood TH-F6A tri-band I made the mistake of swinging by the local amateur radio shop yesterday, looking for a reasonably priced handy talkie. While there is a bunch of radios available on ebay real cheap from China from manufacturers I have never heard of, I was not...

I'm so excited to have finally have ordered the "most important mod", but upon it's arrival, I will have almost no time to test it out with cheese/eggs/ice cream/ice/milk/meats/etc. As a result, I was hoping to pick the collective brains of those here who have extensive experience with their...

First some background... I recently purchased a Viair 400C compressor and enough fittings to outfit a 4 bay garage (not quite, but that is what it seems like). I am relocating my batteries to the rear behind my differential under the bed and plan to locate my compressor where the stock battery...

Everyone knows that the universal fixit is duct tape (or duck tape, if you prefer). I thought it would be fun to see what the ExPo community has repaired with duct tape. So, post up your repairs and describe their longevity. I've repaired some tent poles with duct tape and a piece of aluminum...

A buddy of mine recently suggested an "internal" snorkel as a possible solution. He is a very handy fabricator and has tons of experience in off-roading. His fondness of snorkels is limited because of their inherent "external-ness" and therefore are subject to being knocked off or broken by a...

On Thursday, I was driving to south Texas listening to the local Saltgrass repeater. There was a conversation between two Hams. One told of being on his way to the local Ham shop (pretty close to my house, btw). He said he was going to register for a raffle for a handy talkie give-away this...

With both of my batteries located in the forward drivers side of the engine bay, there's almost 100 pounds forward of the front axle and on the outside edge. My truck has a slight tilt that way and I hope moving the batteries back behind the rear axle will reduce the tilt, lower the overall...

A couple of days ago in the afternoon, about 2-4 p.m. or so, I saw a white Land Rover with an Eazi Awn RTT, red High-lift Jack on the back vertically next to the spare, and a couple of Sceptors or the equivalent (one red, one blue) on the safari rack toward the back. The driver was driving east...

I have seen this before at Sam's Club, but not at this price, only $367. I found their website (Champion Power Equipment) here. I am VERY tempted to purchase this setup, since it has ALL the stuff I need for a portable recovery winch setup at a VERY reasonable price. It includes a...

RoundOut's build thread - the evolution of "Alpine" Tundra Missing the 2007 Expedition Trophy was a tough bite to chew. To help myself focus on the positive, I figured I would shed a little light on the expeditionifying of my 2003 Toyota Tundra SR5 4.7L V8 4WD Access Cab. I'll do this in...

My wife loves to have the squirrels visit, so she has a feeder that she stocks almost daily with peanuts. Many times, we have fed them from our hands. Initially, our two cats chased them mercilessly, until they realized that no matter how close they got, the squirrels would always get away...

I got almost 92K on my original battery in 4 whole years. Not bad for a factory job. It died Tuesday and I decided to jump into dual Optimas (Red top from Sam's Club, Yellow top from 4 Wheel Parts) and a Painless dual battery solenoid kit (also from 4WP). The stock 1Gen Tundra V8 Access Cab...

I'll be leaving Houston to drop off my son and his buddy for summer camp in Northeast NM 6/17 and picking them up 6/23. Looking at the cost of transportation, it appears cheaper to camp in NM/CO and do some wheeling than it would to return to Houston and turn around to head back to NM. I would...
