    WTB - Honda Element AWD

    Looking for a Honda Element AWD, auto trans. Clean, low(er) miles, and good shape is a must. Absolutely no wreck/rebuilds, salvage, etc. Open to stock or camper-converted with the pop-top roof. They are pretty rare here in Michigan, so any leads would be appreciated. Info by PM works fine.

    Wedco non-carb gas cans

    Mods: I guess this post pertains to storage, but if there is better place to move this, by all means feel free to do so. Thanks! ******************** So, I have been out of the game and off the site for a while now, and am trying to get back up to speed. What is the going rate for new...

    Tacoma 3400 rebuild price?

    Buddy bought a 99 Tacoma, 95k miles, but upon further inspection the engine is >200k miles and shot (blocked oil passages, etc.). Truck is clean, everything else checks out per Toyota dealer, but the engine is on its last legs. Dealer quoted a huge sum to swap a used motor in, but that's not...

    Jeep TJ: Managing Weight and Speed

    We just got back from a week of travel in the TJ. Loaded with a week of gear in terrain that included a lot of sandy washboard and roads with regular dips/puddles, as well as a bit of time on rocks and on trails with 12" deep erosion channels, I was on the bumpstops way too much unless I kept...

    Bedframe Fab presents TJ Storage

    What do you get when you combine a couple scrap bedframes, a 110v Lincoln welder running flux core wire, and a Metabo 6" grinder with the thin .040" cutting wheels? Yup, you get a TJ interior storage system, representing the pinnacle of Polak engineering. But hey, I'm able to get this into the...

    Review: Danner Acadia Desert Boots

    Danner Acadia Desert Boots (#26000): A Review I like boots. A lot. I would wear them everyday if I could. I wear them to work during the colder months. I may have even worn them court a time or two, steel toe and all. In the past year or two, I’ve worn out or destroyed all of my hiking...

    Digital? Film? Where to start...

    I guess this is one of those situations where the more you think about something, the less sure you are of the solution. Thanks in advance for the input!! I currently have two digital cameras - Fuji E550 and S5000 - neither of which are new or "sophisticated." They are slow to turn...

    Source for Feuerhand #276??

    After reading the OJ article on these, I thought it might be fun to try one. But I can't seem to find any US-based online retailers for these lamps. Any suggestions?

    Trailer body/flooring material

    With the weather warming up,I am hoping to finally complete my camping/canoe carrier trailer project from last year. But I need some input on what material to use for the decking and sides. I was thinking about plywood at first (either standard stuff that would be painted heavily or marine...

    Toyota Ball Joint Spacers!

    At the UPOverland event this past weekend, I was the recipient of a voucher for a pair of Ball Joint Spacers for 86-95 Toyota 4wd (4runner and Pick up) in the raffle that was part of the event. These were donated to the raffle by Frank (elripster), who the manufacturer/purveyor of various...

    Grease Guns

    In preparation for the UPOverland trip later this week, I was about to load up my nice new $35 grease gun into the spares/fluids box when I noticed that it has been leaking up a storm in the summertime heat! Now I expected this from the cheap-o hardware store grease guns, but the not the nicer...

    Top Pocket Camera - Suggestions?

    OK, I think it is finally time for a new camera. I've been suffering through a Fuji FinePix E550 that I've never liked (and was repaired 3x under warranty before being replaced with a refurb), and getting satisfactory performance out of the Fuji S5000 I bought from Scott last year. Even at...

    Seat Lift - Good Investment!

    My 2002 TJ's driver seat is getting a bit mushy after 75k miles, and while it is still plenty comfy, I wanted a bit more forward visibility. Plus, when I am wearing my logging boots with the heel, the seat felt way too low. I thought about pricing out a new front seat from the dealer, but...

    Magellan Crossover US Topo?

    Has anyone heard anything about if/when some <90m topo will become available? The preloaded 90m doesn't really have much to show around here, and I'd prefer not to have to buy another GPS that allows for greater detail...but I want more detail! Supposedly the Canada Topo is decent, and is at...

    Slumberjack Mummy Bags?

    Anyone have any experiences, good or bad, with the Slumberjack mummy bags? I've been really pleased with their rectangular bags (Talon, 40*, long) and know others who have, too, but I haven't heard as much feedback about their mummy bags. I'm particularly interested in the Odyssey 10* as a...

    How narrow is too narrow?

    Before too long I'd like to finally set to work on building a camping trailer, since camping with a spouse and three dogs (granted 2 are pugs) is asking more of the interior space in my Jeep TJ than it can really provide. I've seen all the designs on the market, and if money and space were...

    TJ Toolkit

    Does anyone have a link to a list of what tools the TJ needs for normal field repairs and which ones can be left at home? I'm sure some Jeep club or website has compiled such a list already, I just haven't found it. I'd like to reorganize/reequip the TJ so I have what I need and leave behind...

    IPF 930 lights? Anyone have experience with these?

    Driving home last night around 2am, with no cars on the interstate, I got to thinking again that it might be nice to have a way to lay out a lot more light than my current lighting setup, probably by putting some high-powered lights on the Jeep either in addition to or in place of the Hella...
