    The Official Dometic CFX Fridge Feed!

    My 50Qt is one of my favorite accessories and it stays in the vehicle full time. I just wish the cover had a single lid like the fridge. I bought the cover from you guys at Expo East but its just a pain to use, so I don't. I'll see you guys at Expo East this year,I'm hoping there's a new...

    KLR650's for a couple new to adventure riding?

    The CRF250L Rally has been a blast for me. I've done a few mods to make it better for the kind of riding I do and I've put around 1,500 miles on it, half off road and half on. I like the bike for what it is, but it is tall, heavy and not geared properly for the riding I like to do. I'm...

    ARB 50qt or Dometic 50qt?

    I picked the Dometic for several reasons, price being a big one. I also like how the top opens, and the fold away handles. I have had it for a while now and it serves me well year round in Florida. The only complaint I have isn't actually with the fridge, but with the fridge blanket. I...

    Icon stage one or stage two?

    Ended up speaking with Hugo at Toytec and he pushed me in the direction of a Toytec Boss kit, custom sprung in the front for the weight I carry and using my current OME Heavy springs in the rear with their shocks. It should be here in a week or so. Really looking forward to seeing how it...

    YAMAHA XT250

    I really liked the looks of the Rally and that honestly had a lot to do with me getting it. For highway riding, like I said, The Rally isn't great, but I wouldn't even try it on the XT. I love the windscreen on the Rally so much I've been trying to find something similar for the XT. The...

    Icon stage one or stage two?

    Thanks for the tips about Toytec. I'll look into it, and maybe give them a ring to see what they suggest for the weight I'm carrying. Thanks guys.

    YAMAHA XT250

    I just bought both on late October so I might be able to help. The CRF I bought for me and the XT I bought for my wife. She's 5'3'' and I'm 5'10''. These are our first bikes, we both took the class in November and these are the only bikes we've ridden. The CRF seemed a little tall at first...

    Icon stage one or stage two?

    I actually prefer a stiffer suspension like a car might have to the floaty feel most trucks have. I've had coilovers (Tein) on a couple cars and used to love how they drove, so I'm not opposed to having that feel in the FJ. Thanks for the recommendations, it sounds like you and I are on the...

    Icon stage one or stage two?

    I don't mind spending the money if it's nice stuff that will work when I need it. I've also been looking at the Toytec Boss kit. When I do use the vehicle I like to be able to drive it hard and not worry about it breaking. Living in Central Florida I usually have to drive a ways to get...

    Icon stage one or stage two?

    I have the OME heavy kit on the FJ currently. While it worked well and handled all the weight on and in the rig well, there are some things I didn't like. I want my new suspension to actually level the vehicle. I want it to have a better ride, meaning the ride with the OME heavies wasn't bad...

    The Official Dometic CFX Fridge Feed!

    I have a CFX50 and absolutgely love it. Living in Florida I keep it stocked with water and some snacks year round and it has been outstanding, and worked flawlessly. My wife bought me the cover during Overland Expo East last year and while it does a great job helping keep the fridge cool, it...

    Charliedontsurf FJ Cruiser Build...

    Looks like you want to undertake a pretty big build. The only thing I might suggest you stay away from is that Road Armor bumper. That thing is beefy, but it weighs a ton. You can get some serious protection without getting into something so huge. The ARB (what I have) offers a ton of...

    KLR650's for a couple new to adventure riding?

    Guess I should have updated this. I ended up buying a Honda CRF250L Rally ABS for myself and a Yamaha XT250 for my wife. I got my licence a couple weeks ago and have been riding as much as possible on both the street and off road. The long stretches of deep, loose sand have been...

    PICS of your bike on your vehicle

    I picked up my CRF250L Rally today. What are you guys using to transport these things? I'm concerned that my spare tire is going to get in the way of me being able to load this onto a hitch ramp. What does everyone use to get around this?

    campsite pics..lets see um

    We camped at the KOA East during Overland Expo East. Great sites and none of the issues that came with camping on site. Side note, that red light under the awning is a Luminoodle. I just stuck it to the side of the truck every night with the magnets and chose the color best for what we...

    ARB 50qt or Dometic 50qt?

    As an update to this thread, I purchased the Dometic 50qt a while ago. It's been working great for us, much better than even I expected. The difference between the fridge and the cooler is night and day. I even picked up the fridge blanket at the Expo last weekend and now it works even better...

    OK4WD 3rd Gen Tacoma Build

    This was my favorite rig at the event. Very nice, well thought out vehicle. I especially liked the front fender tubes. I have been looking to add them to my rig but can't figure out the best way to do it. I really liked the caps you used to mount the side tube to the bumper.
