    Buying a 2010 FJ - looking for advice

    Sell your old car yourself. You’ll make way more money. Then negotiate the price down on the FJ. They are tricking you with the trade in price, they’ll just send your old car to auction. Really what they are doing is just discounting the FJ a bit, and telling you a higher trade in value...

    What should I do first?

    I’m personally not a big fan of the hi lift jack... read way to many horrow stories about them. I think i’d be down for a bottle jack and some wood blocks... that or a winch... that or just take along another vehicle for recovery :)

    What should I do first?

    I bought a Smittybilt compressor from 4wheelparts, on sale for $75 (new). It wasn't working properly when I first got it, so I took the hose assembly apart and found the hole covered with Teflon tape... After correcting that it works great. It takes my 295 series tires 1 minute 50 seconds each...

    What should I do first?

    I air down at the dirt trailhead, unless I have new people with me and the trails are light (sometimes airing down freaks out the new people... like you are about to get serious)... The ride is WAY better, as is the traction. I personally air down to 25psi, but I have a Ford Expedition...

    What should I do first?

    Oh yah, forgot shovel. I bought a $10 mini shovel at my loca D&B farm store. I would also recommend XBull traction mata on Amazon. $80/pair. Get two pair. James

    What should I do first?

    How many miles are on it? Change the oil. Change the air filter. Consider changing the spark plugs (mileage dependant). I personally would get a recovery strap (no need for a shackle hitch, waste of money. Just use the hitch pin, that’s what the shackle hitch will use to stay in place...), and...

    Most convenient Shower/toilet privacy tent

    Mmm... I think I’ll try the $40 pop-up style privacy shelters on Amazon. Very similar to Front Runner’s quick pop tents. They open and close in seconds, are cheap, and don’t have to be near the vehicle. James

    It would be pretty cool to see Expedition Overland there, seeing as how they are a Montana based group...

    Otterbox unvarnished gear review.

    Try running both of them over with the car and let us know how the phone survives... I don’t mean to pick on you, it just seems like an odd review you just left for a great company. You compare them to a battery with only a three-year warranty, while in fact they have a lifetime warranty on...

    Nice subtle transformation. I like the low-key look. James

    Otterbox unvarnished gear review.

    Regarding dust: one suggestion I’ve seen before is to remove the OtterBox defender‘s plastic screen cover, then install a stick on screen cover directly onto the iPhone. That way you still have the perimeter and rear protection of the Otterbox, but not the dust collection of the plastic screen...

    Slowly but Shirlee the '91 Toyota Single Cab

    You lost me at “reinstalled smog system”, but then picked me back up again at “Redline MT90”... love that stuff. Great job so far... I vote for adding the rear bumper back. James

    Otterbox unvarnished gear review.

    I think two years is the max i’ve kept one without asking for a replacement. I don’t really see the point in going beyond that if they are going to send me a brand new one with one phone call... Plastic and rubber wear out, but excellent customer service lives on forever :) James

    Otterbox unvarnished gear review.

    5 family members, 5 apple devices, and we buy new devices every fee years, requiring new cases because of design changes. James

    Otterbox unvarnished gear review.

    Not sure what the complaint is about... call Otterbox and they will send you a new case, no questions asked. Lifetime warranty. I’ve been using Otterbox Defenders exclusively on all our Apple devices for the last 6 years. We’ve bought at least a dozen Otterbox Defenders, and all of them have...
