    Camp Site Tips and Tricks.

    I did something similar just last week. I used a plastic water bottle (aquafina or similar), squeezed it, then sucked the eggs through the funnel into it. Once all the eggs were in the bottle I capped it and shook it. Scrambled eggs in a very sturdy non-spillable container. EDIT: fast...

    Those sound like fantastic trips!! I'm only going camping in the bush for a few weeks straight. One day I'll travel more... likely when I retire.

    FJ or JKU

    No issues towing here.... The FJ is rated to tow 5000 lb. I recommend electric brakes and the ability to adjust the brakes as you see fit (on the controller) if you are taking it offroad. In the sand the brakes just lock up on the trailer. Any short wheelbase vehicle will not tow as nice as a...

    Cell Phone Booster

    I use the Uniden U60. It boosts the 4G signal. This does require AC power. It's a household booster. It's a noticeable difference. Prior to having and using: - sketchy for phone calls. - to send an email I hit send and then set the phone on the windshield wiper of the FJ and walked away -...

    First Lessons Learned

    Having a place to escape to when the bugs are bad or it's raining can turn a crappy day or 2 into some fun. We bought a big screen tent after the first trip or 2 in the bush. It's nice to hang out in if needed. We still go play in the rain or right after a rain but having the big screen tent...

    P vs. LT Tires

    Good info. :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses: I would also like to add.... a higher rated tire will have a higher MAXIMUM cold tire pressure... some upwards of 65. This does NOT mean you should run your tires at 65. Keep in mind you have a tire rated for a heavier vehicle. I see sooo many...

    Think my wife has the bug.......

    Welcome! Nice FJ! Stay away from that fjcruiserforums website... those guys are great at helping a person spend their money with all their fancy ideas about bumpers and stuff for FJ's, LOL. :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:

    Anyone running an Eezi-Awn Hardcase Awning or similar?

    Hard case or soft..... hmmmm.. I wonder if a soft case would be better in the long run due to the fact that if (when, in my case) it takes a hit from a branch it bends and bounces back, rather than breaking or bending and staying bent..... Thoughts?

    How to Start a Fire - Collected Wisdom

    We use the cardboard/paper type egg cartons, fill each cavity with dryer lint, and then coat it all with candle wax. We then break off a section for each fire.
