This radio is finally getting closer to market. :D Here's the product link for anyone interested: Wouxun KG-UV920R and the email I just received this morning

"Mostly the forest was open unless it was posted closed -- and now it's closed unless it's shown as open on the map" - makes perfect sense, right? There's a maximum $5k fine for driving on a road that is not physically posted anywhere except on one of 13 maps that you'd need to reference while...

I've been looking for a true dual bander for the last few days to start saving my pennies for. My 2 meter FT-2800m has worked well when I used it, but lacking any real place to mount it in the 4runner I came to the decision I should get a radio that I can remote mount the display and thus get...

Does anyone have experience with the KBS Coatings or the Eastwood tank sealer kits? After a few years of faithful service my NWMP aux tank finally started to leak (the production date on it is 1991, and it spent most of its life in the salt belt before I got it). Right now it's mainly a strong...

If you don't have experience with MOLLE / PALS gear, I recommend you check into it. Even a quick google image search will show you there's a wide range of pouches and bags available to help organize the little things in your rig. This is a good overview of the different ways the gear can be...

SOLD for sale is a JDM inclinometer / altimeter with the electrical pigtail for the lights - $80 shipped The only difference that the JDM part makes is that the altimeter reads in meters instead of feet. Both pitch and roll work fine and can be adjusted to match your vehicle using the knobs...

I have a garage thread elsewhere and this rig has already been a few years in the making, but I wanted to share some of the ideas, info and tech that might be of use to others. First a bit of history. This is what my truck looked like when I bought it in 2006 for $1k - '88 4runner, 4 cyl, 5...

I saw this while randomly trying not to go stir crazy and thought I'd share, just another tool in the mental arsenal http://www.boingboing.net/2011/03/02/howto-get-a-tractor.html

I've been tired of of looking at the cracked dash in my old 4runner for awhile now. So yesterday I pulled the dash out and took the clinometer off so I could sell it (never really use it anyway). In the process of searching for a way to fix my cracked dash pad I read this thread, which opened...

My old 4runner was never very well insulated even from new - it's a bit drafty, the interior cools off quickly and takes awhile to get everything warmed up in cold weather (heater works fine). I've been reading recently about using Thinsulate as a sound absorbing material in the hopes of...

Cross posted from the"Adventure Clothing" section Personally, I hate walking around in wet shoes, and after they get wet they seem to take forever to dry. I've seen 110V versions of this cheap project to dry ski boots, but never a 12V version. Why do I want a 12V version? because after I...

Personally, I hate walking around in wet shoes, and after they get wet they seem to take forever to dry. I've seen 110V versions of this cheap project to dry ski boots, but never a 12V version. Why do I want a 12V version? because after I dunk my feet because I was too busy walking around...

I've been meaning to do this for awhile. Since next year I'm hoping for more camping/relaxing/exploring than I've seen in the last 4 years, it was about time. I started by measuring some of my camping gear. This gave me a base line for height and length that I might need - a few items won't...

I finally had time to finish the aux tank transfer pump wiring. It's supposed to be a gravity feed system with a hose running into a fitting where the main tank drain plug is on the bottom. The problem with this is that I don't like the idea of having something hang even lower off the main tank...

Recently I've been asked some questions on my 7MGE Supra engine swap. So I thought I'd put up some information. Originally my rig had a 22-RE, so the information I'm giving is geared to a 22RE->7MGE swap, the 3.0 V6 is a bit different. Also, I swapped in a naturally aspirated engine, the...

what is this big piece on the front of the bumper and how is it used? I've only seen this on the Arctic Trucks or similar . . . to keep the front from falling into a crevasse? It doesn't look like it would support much weight + it looks like it's hinged with no support to keep it from flipping...

OK, here's the scenario . . . I just got a set of OME Dakars for the rear and finally have everything for the install, except the shocks. Since the Dakars have 4 main leaves and 2 overload leaves I might try them as is or remove the 2 overloads + 1 main leaf - either way before I can drive it...

got my email sent - OK, c'mon guys . . . it's as simple as sending an email, just copy/paste the addresses (bottom of this post)and the sample letter (next post) and click "send" - if NC gets a park and all goes well, neighboring states may begin to notice and follow their example. It'd be nice...
