Thank you everyone for your continued support.
It's time again for a new issue. Some highlights are the trip stories: Scott Brady on the Trans-America trail (traverses western U.S.), Isaac Taylor & Jennifer Coogan in India and the Himalayas, Tom Sheppard in Algeria, and Lois Pryce in Angola...
Thank you for your support! If you go to the website you can see a list of all the articles for each issue, which might help you decide. A couple of my favorites are the Winter 07 and Winter 08 issues.
It's also time for a glimpse of the latest issue, which will be available soon:
Spring 2009...
It looks great Travis. Regarding the switch, you may need to hold it in the "ON" position momentarily, then release it (it will return the center or "AUTO" position) and it should keep them connected for five minutes, or until you press the "ON" switch again momentarily.
Regarding the...
Let me start by presenting what I see as the main advantage of Overland Navigator: Simplicity.
It is important to understand this, because this is what makes the program unique when compared to many other mapping software programs. An analogy, although maybe not the best one, would be to...
Hi Travis, hopefully I can help with your questions. I'm going to assume that you will be installing your Pathmaker per the manual's instructions for using the auxiliary (second) battery for the "house" loads, and use the original (first) battery for starting the vehicle. In that case, it is...
Just to clarify, we do have an "Editor's Choice" award and a "Value Award" both of which were earned by two winches in the review. And yes, we specifically chose to test only electric winches (no hydraulics). A test of hydraulics would be great to do for a future article.
OK, it's time for an online sample issue! :)
For those of you that haven't had a chance to read the magazine and see what's it's like inside, we have made an entire issue available as a free sample in PDF format. The issue we chose is the Summer 2008 edition, as we are very low on...
Thanks for the support. You're about to get your first subscription issue :)

Hi Mark,
How did you know? We are currently working on a winch test. Not for testing battery switches, but we are actually testing winches.
Yes, that is why I mentioned that our only wish for the NL product was an option for a higher current rating. For winching, I did recommend some...
:mad::bang: I've been hearing that from a lot of people. I think the holidays did a number on the USPS this year. Hang in there, they are showing up, it's just taking a little longer.
The Winter 2008 issue is now available. :bounce::bounce2:

Four more years would be a pretty significant run, and maybe we'll get lucky and they'll surprise us with another small to mid-size offering in the functional 4WD market.
TOYOTA OPEN ROAD BLOG: The FJ Cruiser Reality: It?s Alive!
There's too much info to post here (so a good thing you're getting the article), but I'll try to answer your questions.
Yes, the National Luna is definitely in that category. When I chose it as the Editor's Choice, the decision was primarily based on performance, but also on the design...
Hi Rich, the fridge review was in the Summer '07 issue (the one with the white ARB Tacoma on the front cover). I had a lot of fun doing that test and review, but it was an insane amount of work. I worked with an electrical engineer to build a portable testing device that monitored power...
