. .or electrical things around the truck . . .


People ask me how I did all the crap to my truck with the dual batteries and I am like . . .well I'm in this Land Cruiser club and I have these guys from all across the country helping to include a local Physics Department Head, Former Car Audio Installer and Engineer, Electrical Engineers, all around genius types, etc. etc. : )
 
I'm gonna have to ask all those questions lol but since I started taking this mechatronics stuff so much is starting to make sense.

Honestly that's why I love the cruiser world it's a hobby that's forcing me to educate myself (mostly because I can't pay someone to do it for me but hey more knowledge for me)

Audio installer... may need help in that category lol
 
was just thinking he needs to do a back flip now, then BAM he pulls it off.
 
I wanted to throw this idea around before I started a thread in it but I know there's a thread for camping gear on the trucks but is there any interest in the club toward bushcraft, survival gear, actually testing equipment and going out and trying to use this on a camping trip?

I was talking to a buddy of mine I was stationed back at fort hood we went out and spent 3 days out in our own with our day packs and a survival kit after getting really drink watching survivorman and man vs wild. Anyway it was a lot of fun made me realize what did and didn't work with stuff I had. Anyway I just wanted to see if anyone else has any intrest in this kinda stuff

I do some, try new things and equipment, done some events, but too old and rickety to do survivorman syle. I let the young people who can recover quickly do that.

One local person you may want to get to know if Joe Flowers, great guy from Matthews NC. ( https://www.facebook.com/joe.flowers.94043 ) Joe runs Bushcraft Global and could be considered an expert in bushcraft around the world, lot of experience in South/Central America. Also designs knifes and axes for bushcraft. Very nice guy as well.

Awesome I'll check that out yeah I really wanna actually learn some of this stuff not just go through it blindly all though that is fun too lol.

I'm hoping to do it on a few trips to URE camping with the truck so I can have just test things but be comfortable.

Alone in the Wilderness
 
I hadn't that is awesome!

I'd be happy to just to go do something like that for a week but a year that's just amazing
 
He lived there for 30 years - he had stuff flown in by plane a couple times a year - so he was a big bush cheater, but we will let that slide a bit given he started when he was 52 . . . so only 20 years younger than @Izzyandsue (very spry old guy - looks like he is 32).

Looks very legit until you see the typo. Apple don’t do no typos.

One typo? At least 6 errors jump out, not including passive voice and run-on sentences.
 
32? I have clothes older than that! weejub, WhiteTiger911, Lets start a bushwacking/wilderness post. I will get it going and post information, resources, ideas, etc. One of my old favorites was/is Anne Labastille Anne LaBastille - Wikipedia, she was up in the Adirondacks while I was exploring that region and is from my old school as well. Wrote a few really good books too.
Easier on the eye than the Richard fellow above. But dont get your hopes up, she died in 2011 at 77.

Mahindra, slated to be produced in Michigan

they are going to start building those in detroit now huh..... they are pretty neat and just one in a long line of companies that got the rights to reproducing the willies jeeps. All the ones i've seen over seas had diesels in them wonder if these will also.

I know Stan knows this, but Mahindra is kinda the "poor man's" Kubota. They have become popular among the "gentlemen farmer" crowd as an alternative to the more expensive Kubotas.


Now if it was a Kubota diesel in a Hilux reproduced chassis, I would have to have one :)
