    Kelty Backroads Shelter

    If you camp out of your vehicle and it's not a motorhome or other large RV, this little trick can enhance your experience. I replaced my wall kit for my 270* Alu Cab awning on my off road trailer with 2 of these. Versatile and quick to set up and take down, you might want to check this out...

    SOLD  2017 CVT RTT utility trailer; $4500 OBO

    This trailer was built to tackle the Rubicon. It's not an old pickup bed converted to haul camping gear and slap a RTT on it. It's stout - for example - the axle is not the typical 3500 lb HD for ruggedness. It's the 5000-6500 lb - I know , I packed the wheel bearings. Running 35" tires on 15"...

    Eureka Ignite propane camp stove

    Is any one using one of these. I read up on propane stoves, because I wanted to replace my old Coleman 2 burner 413E that's served me well, but aging. I've been experiencing a lack of control of the flame intensity and heat control, which I'm sure can be at least part way cured with a rebuild...

    2018 Three Feathers Mfg. 'Trail Head'

    Recently, I was able to land a teardrop style trailer. It was listed in the classified section on ExPo. When I first noticed it, was in process of being sold, but I checked back and the buyer backed out. So I jumped on it and worked out a deal with the original owner. I currently own a CVT...

    2004 Lexus RX330 advice

    Looking for advice from experienced and knowledgeable owners. I own a 80 series Land Cruiser for overlanding and off road trips, so I'm not looking for how capable or incapable the RX330 (or Highlander which I've read is Toyota's version) is offroad. I've been cruising CL for a highway traveling...

    Hand truck - aid 4 mounting tires

    Not sure if anyone else has tried this, but it works so well for me I thought I'd share the idea. The older we get, the harder it is to get some things done that we used to not even think twice about doing. And I'm sure that upgrading from the original 31" tires to 35" tires, since they're...

    2017 CVT RTT trailer build

    Last month (April 2019) I found this trailer on CL in Bend, OR. Decided not to wait up to a year to have a hard side / teardrop style trailer built as I had originally intended and purchased it. The Land Cruiser was just getting too full and impossibly inconvenient for overland trips. The...

    Differential oil action video

    Just watched a very interesting video by Gale Banks at Banks Power. They fabbed a clear diff cover so you can watch the action of the ring gear flinging the oil at different speeds. And he talks about custom cover designs and cooling and the level of diff oil in reference to axle tubes. Video...

    TLC for my '94 TLC

    Well, with over 275 K on my '94, that I've owned for 20 yrs and added 150 K, it's time for some tender loving care (1st TLC in title...lol). It has served me well and to be honest, that's an understatement. I'm 63 and retired, plus the 80 is not my DD, so I'm blessed to be able to work on my rig...

    CVT Mt. Baker RTT Long Term Eval

    Figured with all the inputs I've been giving on other threads, I should start my own for reference and so comparisons and analysis should be easier if all in one place. Feel free to post comments and questions. First off the vendor website page that this tent is on: CascadiaVehicleTents...

    High engine temp under load

    Since I installed RT's temp gauge mod, I've had concerns that my engine temp on hills is climbing too high. It doesn't matter what the air temp is, it seems to be load dependant. I can just about tell if I'm on an incline by looking at the gauge. Flats and down hill and it'll drop back down...

    Aux lights - fuse or CB

    When or if you install aux lights that don't come in a kit that you buy at a store, don't make the mistake I did. You might think that an in line fuse holder would be sufficient to protect your equipment. Well, most plastic fuse holders are good for 5 or 10 amps, maybe even 20 with a quality...

    How's your ARB powder coating doing?

    Well, I searched and couldn't find any similar threads, so here goes. I had a surprise as I was washing the bugs off my ARB bull bar this evening. Using the water pressure to clean them off, it started lifting the powder coating off. We have good water pressure here, locally, but this was...

    Double cardan joint wobble

    Any opinions to how long a loose double cardan joint on the front drive shaft will last? It's pretty sloppy. I can hear/feel it vibrating in 4wd at 5 mph. I'd say there's a good 1/4" - 3/8" movement if you grab it and try wiggling it. It's an '81 with '85 engine,tranny & xfer case. Also no lift...

    1981 4X4 LB PKUP ?'s

    1981 4X4 LB PKUP ?'s Howdy, There's a 1981 long bed 4X4 SR5 for sale near me and I've wanted a solid axle mini-4X4 pickup since I missed my chance back when they came out in '79. I know '85 was the last solid axle, but how's the engine and rest of the drive train? Any bugs or things to...

    Opinions on tire sidewall strength

    What are your experiences with tires on trails getting sidewall damage? I know a lot of folks reduce the tire pressure to get more traction. Initially, it went against logic for me because I figured, with less psi in tire, sidewalls would be weaker and more susceptible to damage. Well last...
