    any DIY ideas for an awning?

    The ARB is very good for the price, try and find one used and maybe you can score a decent deal. I recently got one from a OB/IH8MUD guy, I got it for just 125, even though I have an Awning, I picked it up so I could sell it to a buddy for his van.

    Tailgater Tire Table

    I would rather get a tire step, stronger and more useful for a lifted vehicle

    Central America Overland

    I'm from Nicaragua (born in Esteli, Raised in the USA), I am glad to see you enjoyed the scenery. Lots of good info about travel there! Lots of misconceptions of how things actually are out there. It is nice for someone to chime in and shed some light for those who are willing to explore the...

    FZJ80 Roof Rack

    Check ih8mud.com for lots of 80 series stuff. Frontrunner racks are nice but $$. Cbi off road bought Prinsu, but they still sell them. Those are nice, but now Bowfin cruisers has a similar setup with a better gutter rack latch setup...

    Ladder safety wrap

    You could use deck plate from 18wheelers, or catwalk material used in industrial applicatons. That stuff chews up regular shoes faster though. Not to be confused with regular diamond plate.

    Things to note when looking for new tires.

    Weight rating is very important, and will determine ride quality to some degree. I had E rated AT KOs on my old Dodge Ram. They were a good tire. I run Wrangler MTRs on my fzj80. They are loud. But they have a proper load rating for my nearly 6k lb truck even at low psi. Also consider that if...

    Model..Overlanding

    Yeah, my scx10 was in that ball park, 300ish. I got a nice big battery for it and it has been a blast. My favorite thing is that because it is a crawler, if you spend time doing technical stuff or trying obstacles the battery lasts a good while. You can go down the rabbithole if you want to an...

    Here you go I managed to figure out how to embed! I hope lol. There are thousands of shots I have taken on a hard drive at home, just learning the camera and playing with the settings. It is good fun to go out for a walk and capture moments. I still do no post processing, just JPGs from the...

    I have an Olympus OMD EM5 MK II, nice little micro four thirds camera. I got a 14mm to 150mm zoom, a 75mm to 300mm zoom and a 25mm f1.7 prime. I like the portability and the weathersealed body. Have used it in rain and snow no problem. I still have tons to learn, but I have been enjoying the...

    Why did you go with your current vehicle?

    My brother had the FZJ80 Landcruiser I have just sitting in his driveway. He was not doing anything to it so I asked him if I could take it off his hands. It had been parked for a few years, so I started by getting it back up to running condition. And then I started browsing the classifieds on...

    Truck camping with bed liner?

    When I had my older dodge ram I was trying to get a bedrug for it, but they did not make it for my older model truck. Those seemed nice and they smooth out the ridges so it is flat back there. Maybe you could give your bed a good pressure washing before you go out on the next trip.
