Wow, ya gotta really love the high tech stuff to do that, and I do have an appreciation for it all. However, I don’t think I could deal with all that clutter. My GMRS is mounted out of camera view in front of the freezer, the steel ball is the mount for my phone and the Hula Girl oversees my...

I’ll second that guess and raise it one notch and guess it’s on a 4x4 dually, F-350. LOL

Ya, I’d steer clear of groups any larger than 3 vehicles, total.

Let me edit my post a bit, South Africa? Australia? Yep we would definitely rent a vehicle and take a guided trip.

Wow, I'm very late to this party. 96' LX450 ( 80 series LC ) Second and Third row seats removed OME 850Js up front, 864s in rear giving us a whopping GVWR of over 7,000 lbs. Stock rims wrapped in 285/75/16s ADDITIONAL BOLT ON ACCESSORIES Slee Short Bus...

OK, curiosity is killing me here. 6.5 X 12ft flatbed mounted on what? That's a huge platform.

I know a guy that paid for a guided trip/tour here in the east out of WV. He thought it to be a total rip off and way over priced. Never again, says he. Now, here's the thing, there is at least one tour/trip operator I'd be willing to pay for. Bill Burke put's on fantastic trips and...

With the addition of our 24gallon transfer tank from LRA the sagging rear end had to go. Out with the old 863s and in with the new 864s. No more sag! It was an easy job, about two hours, including a brew break.

Signed and passed on to multiple folks. We just finished a trip up through Lockhart Basin heading north, where we encountered only one cyclist and three other vehicles in 4 days. ( yes, we took our time and camped 3 nights in a really sweet spot) Once we dropped down to the intersection for...

We as well in the Swell, 2 years ago early March, near single digit. Listening to rock slides through the night. Doesn’t get much better !!

I beg to differ. Every vehicle needs regular maintenance, doing what we do, old or new requires stringent maintenance, old or new. Do things wear out? Of course, so before the end of their known life expectancy you replace them. Do brands make a difference? In my humble experience, yes, a...

That would help eh? It is the Grabber ATX

I’m able to drive & maintain a 25 year old vehicle because here in the states it is very practical. Most Parts are only a day away, there are qualified shops everywhere. World tour? Australia? Africa, Asia, South America? Hands down a brand spanking new 70 series LC that has been properly...

I’m with you almost 100%, I’d narrow it down a bit though - 1993 - 2005. ( first year of the FZJ 80 and the final year of the I-6 TJ/LJ Jeep Rubicon.) ASWP just finished the Canning Stock Rt with a couple of brand new vehicles and a 45 year old Range Rover successfully. We just finished...

In the meantime it certainly is nice to be able to exchange ideas without all the drama on a forum like this.

I have a 96 80 series because I can diagnose it & do the work on it if necessary. Because it is fuel injected, not carberated, and because it is extraordinarily comfortable. I’m perfectly comfortable at the end of the day having sat behind the wheel for 10-12-14 hours. I’ve had one breakdown...

Ya, with zero tongue weight they would rattle a lot. I’ve about 110bs of tongue weight. For the hitch to rattle I’m in some pretty serious terrain. Why zero ?

That’s exactly the reason I use a 5 ton pintle hook. The articulation is limited, ( maybe 50 degrees, maybe )the trailer isn’t going to go over, & the 5 ton hitch will not break.

I built a small platform to stand on in our outdoor shower. It is made of 1/2 x 3” pressure treated decking planks. It is 18” square. Not only do we use it to stand on in the shower, we use it at the entry to our annex, or to stand upon anywhere needed in mud or slippery terrain. It also has...

Back in 1979 I purchased my first set of BFG all terrain tires. Since then I’ve been using nothing but BFGs. I was sold, hook, line & sinker. All my Ford pickup trucks had em, all my Jeeps, Landcruiser and my current daily driver. I never had a flat due to tire failure and always got at least...
