    Camp Pizza

    We camp with family quite often and my Brother-in-Law is very into food creation.. we got him a propane pizza oven and he supplies camp pizzas during out trips; lol, pretty cush - but the pizza turns out fantastic every time.

    What was your first vehicle you took exploring.

    This guy was looking for a rock solid 4x4 for traveling, but he wanted it to look old and a little rough to minimize his importing taxes, fees .. My truck was solid with a little lift, a bit bigger tires, exhaust, canopy, sleeping platform, winch, stereo.. looked old but ran forever.

    What was your first vehicle you took exploring.

    Back when I was a kid I wanted Marty's rig.. When I turned 16 and got my DL I worked my butt off and made my own; Had to sell it when I moved to the city and it wouldn't fit in the parkade.. The new owner pointed it south and drove it to Belize.

    What is the difference between a tow strap, snatch strap, and kinetic , and when would you use each?

    Tow straps are meant for towing (ha!) as in two vehicles at a constant speed.. Snatch/Recovery straps are for getting a vehicle unstuck. Kinetic ropes are the newest technology in snatch straps. I carry a tow strap along with my snatch straps, they work well as winch extensions or even tree...

    Roof rack tie down ideas

    I like cam lock straps for our stuff; fast, strong, and secure. You can loop it around the bars and make big things very secure. I trust them to hold our kevlar canoe up there at highway speeds so boxes won't be a problem. If your boxes were always going to be up there I would look at...

    1990 VW T3 TRANSPORTER.

    Tripping me out seeing the doors and camp setup on the other side.. And 'Black water tank' over here means something totally different - and not what you would want right above your head!

    2006 Ubaru Forester

    I run wrx takeoffs for winters, but you would have to watch your offset closely with those tires. Forester et is 48, Impreza, wrx, and outback are usually 55 so you are closer to the rear struts.

    Propane Distribution

    I would recommend stopping in at a propane shop. We run the bbq and coleman stove off a 20lb tank during the camping season.. I had all the tree / adapters / quick connect (made in china) parts in my ebay/amazon cart and it was close to $70 plus shipping.. Walked into the local propane shop...

    Watercraft and Overlanding

    Lots of short trips around home so far, we went with a cabrac so that we could still pull the trailer behind without any interference from the canoe.

    CB Radio (merged thread)

    I keep my radio on scan in the truck and the vol turned low - I've never heard a Ham Operator on an amateur channel be anything but perfectly behaved - but truckers and the other road channels can get pretty bad.. I don't need the kids in the backseat hearing a full and enthusiastic description...

    scan tools

    SCII - use it to keep an eye on temps, manage mileage, track trip details. It also reads and clears codes.. Bought one for retail, bought another for $20 at a garage sale..

    CB Radio (merged thread)

    CB - cheaper, easy to use, line of sight, power limited to 4watt, anonymous. AmateurRadio - license required, learning curve, can use repeaters, most mobile units are around 50w, callsigns used.

    Custom Roof Racks

    I like this one; http://www.tundratalk.net/forums/tundra-parts-accessories-exterior-mods/166314-super-low-profile-roof-rack-w-led-lighting.html I know Prinsu doesn't have a Tundra rack yet, do you have the rain channels on the roof? Are there any mounts under there? That is how the Tacomas...

    Testing out the snow tires

    Sweet. Subies on snows are hard to beat.. Reminds me of our Christmas trip a few years ago - We had brand new X-ice tires and were loving the empty 10pm Christmas Eve drive to our parents town on an empty highway with a few inches of fresh snow. Then a pair of lights showed up in my rearview...

    Wiper blades

    Haha, I would've though the biggest problem with blades on the FJ was that there is an extra one! I change blades on both rigs every two years.. it seems that is how long they live without giving up the ghost.. Costco has Michelins that are nice. I try not to run them is they are covered in...
