    Fusible links from scratch

    All of the fusible links in my 89 FJ62 were removed by my truck's PO, so in the interest of avoiding a cruiser fueled bonfire I think I'll replace them. My goal is to build a replacement set that is indistinguishable from the OE links electrically, but not necessarily physically/ visually. This...

    Window guides / regulator issues

    Gents, I am trying to sort out some issues with the front passenger window on an 87 fj60. I have pulled the door panel and the regulator seems to be working fine but the window runs "off track" (falls into the cab and jams) when you attempt to roll it up. The guides/ tracks look ok...

    Propane bottles inside expedition trailer

    In mocking up my expo trailer kitchen I keep thinking about how simple my plumbing and tank mounts would be if my ( yet to be purchased) LP tanks lived in the main box of my trailer.

    Is the setup of the Mombasa Annex tents(covered entry) comparable to the tents that just have the awning? My main concern is whether or not the annex tents are as self contained as the non-annex tents. Are any tie downs/ lines etc required?

    Expedition Trailer Electrical Layout

    I am starting to plan my first 12V electrical system where battery endurance without recharging is a major consideration. This will be built from the ground up and I would much rather save and buy quality the first time than skimp and regret it later. I feel very comfortable with assembly, but...

    Multi axis hitch dimensions

    I am in early stages of laying out a scratch build trailer that will incorporate either the AT or locknroll. While I am planning on making the tongue able to extend, I would really like to get the most out of the extension by incorporating the length of the coupler in my design from the...
