    So, why'd you buy the overland vehicle you did?

    I had two 3rd gen 4runners in my life, did some light wheeling while at college in Arizona. Very capable vehicles, but quite small for 2 people and not terribly comfortable on long road trips. Always drooled over the Land Cruiser 80 - iconic styling, legendary reliability, solid front axle...

    Alabama Hills before the winter

    Slick Rock Trail and Coral Hollow - 9/15 - 9/17 - 09/15/2017

    will let you know! We are only doing a very small portion of Slick Rock to get to the camping spot by the creek. None of the stairs or any of that stuff. I will be interested to walk down and see people tackle that stuff though.

    Slick Rock Trail and Coral Hollow - 9/15 - 9/17 - 09/15/2017

    Looking forward to this, guys! Couple of things: 1) Looks like it's going to be pretty chilly up there. High of 64 and lows in the 30s. Make sure you have warm sleeping gear and warm clothes. 2) Make sure you all have a fire permit if you intend to make a fire. You can get them for free...

    Slick Rock and Coral Hollow trip 9/15 - 9/17

    Yes as far as I can tell, that's the good camp spot. I've personally never been, so I'm going off of verbal reports, photos, and google satellites. It's basically a 1/4 mile down the slick rock trail near the creek. Right before it starts getting really challenging. PM me your cell number as I...

    Usal Beach Team Hunt Rally - 07/28/2017

    I think we're in, but I'm not sure we can leave work early enough on Friday to get there before dark. Would we be able to leave early Saturday and meet you guys and join for camping Saturday night?

    Usal Beach Team Hunt Rally - 07/28/2017

    Not reeeally. The fresh water stream that flows into the ocean there was pretty dried up. Plenty of swimming in the freezing pacific though!

    I don't think I can head up on Friday, but planning to leave early Saturday and catch you guys before you leave Usal - then camp with everyone Saturday night. Will that work as long as I'm there before noon?

    The White Whale - '97 FZJ80 build

    little update for anyone who's interested. Those of you who own FZJ80s probably know that the cooling system can be slightly temperamental It started with my climb to prewitt ridge. My temp gauge started to nudge up above the half way mark on a slow climb. Let it cool down and eventually got up...
