I got t I got the MSR for backpacking and used it when I went car camping in Iceland. Worked great. I like that you can get different sized canisters, and use a variety of fuels.

- Cons to new- Warranty - may be voided by mods. (may also save you from making expensive mods?) May be voided by location, activity. - Do you really want to squeeze that shiny new paint down that tight forest trail? Answers may vary.

Patience is a virtue in the build. AS BoldAdventure said, do the research, find out what you actually need. Try out your rig and see if it performs better than you thought before deciding you"need" to modify it. Classifieds can be your friend to get a used item rather than paying full price for...

In comparison with RTT's they are still cheaper than all but the economy models.

Cool pix!

I'm from grizzly country in western Canada. The elephant in the night was certainly the most"concerned" I've ever been with wildlife encounters...

Same as above, if it's bolted on, it stays. Otherwise the rig is empty except for jumper cables, FA kit, one tow strap and tool bag. My wench usually goes in the house when we aren't out driving...(looks nervously over shoulder)...

New EBC pads and rotors

We only get one chance on this rock, and I plan on seeing as much of it as possible. So far I've made it to every province in Canada(still need the territories), about 10 of the United States. 2 Countries in Africa, Central Asia for 9 months(work trip) and almost every country in Western(except...

My furthest "expedition" travels in the FJ(19 Gal tank), fully loaded, roof rack full, up into Northern Quebec, Labrador and Newfoundland on the Trans Labrador Highway, I needed to use my single Scepter jerry can twice between long stretches of emptiness, I never went lower than 1/4 tank. There...

I can buy a good quality 4 season base camp tent like a Springbar, Cabela's guide tent, Oztent, 12 Survivors, or even some of the Artic Oven's, and it is still...

+1 to the vacuum packs, you can also precook meals, vac pack and then put them in boiling water for 10-15 mins to reheat. I usually boil the water, turn off the stove, put the bags in and then crack a drink. Once that is done, meal should be ready, (optional) crack open another drink...

Not really overland related, but trying out a whiteout grill on the cruiser, kinda of fj40 style. ignore the photoshop at the bottom.

Does anyone have advice for shooting pics of vehicles climbing steep hills? I find the pictures rarely seem to do justice to the situation. Things I've found that help are shooting from the side, and /or ensuring to keep the camera parallel with the trees(if there are any), vice pointing...

Removed front grill, radiator cover/shroud and gave the radiator a really good cleaning. Had some high temps while cruising the Black Hills last weekend. Plenty of mud stuck in there. From the variety of colors,it's from a few different trips. Hard to get in there without actually removing...
