This 2001 Toyota Tacoma SR5 is located in Vacaville, CA. It is a 4WD model with solid front axle swap. A set of 17" Raceline beadlock wheels with 35" Nitto mud terrains are suspended by 12" Fox remote reservoir shock absorbers. The bed is covered by a Snugtop soft camper shell with custom LED lights, and has a large custom center drawer.

The purpose to this post is to provide Jeep owners with a means to run DTC without the need for a scan tool. Although this procedure is not as useful or effective as a scan tool, it may help reduce some stress when you find your MIL illuminated while off the grid. This procedure is fairly straight forward and, to my knowledge, will work with all Chrysler products dating back as far as the 1980's -the oldest models require counting the duration and number of flashes produced by the CEL, then cross referencing them to a DTC list. 

Toyota Land Cruiser Pickups are not readily available to American Citizens. This is mainly because they're simple, reliable design could never meet the emissions requirements of vehicles sold in the United States. New Land Cruiser pickups are harder to acquire still. However, after years in foreign nations around the world witnessing first-hand what these vehicles are capable of, I knew I had to have one. The model I wanted was built in Argentina and sold in South and Central America. Upon further investigation, I discovered Guatemala had two new 2017 double cab Toyota Land Cruiser 79 series pickups in the country available for sale.  Perfect.

Ever since YETI first dropped their rotomolded cooler in 2006, cooler manufacturers have been looking for ways to regain market share. Unfortunately, many of these companies are producing inferior look-a-likes that are only marginally better than the old ABS plastic coolers of yesteryear. That's not the case with Gnarwhal.

Old worn out sleeping bags are some of the most uncomfortable things on the planet. I know this because I’ve used the same sleeping bag for over ten years. That’s why I was extremely excited when SJK sent me their new Wheeler Lake sleeping bag to test out. It’s not a radical new product, but it does come with some great perks, especially if you are on the tall side.

Basecamp F550 I wanted something to take my family camping and carry all my toys. I wanted to be sufficient for off the grid camping and not stress about my bikes disappearing or being damaged in transit.

Westfalia. You immediately pictured some sort of Volkswagen bus with tie dye colors and a dude resembling John Lennon, didn’t you. It’s ok, we all do. That stereotype has long been attached to the VW bus and the Westfalia campers. Heck, some people still consider them to be the quintessential mode of transport for the free spirited van lifer.

If you follow our Instagram page, then you know how much we love gigantic expedition vehicles. These giant lumbering trucks allow travelers to carry many of the luxuries of home deep into the backcountry, or often times, to foreign countries. 

Unlike the Ursa Minor J30 which only replaces the factory Jeep top, the GaZell is a different animal altogether. GaZell has designed a complete camper around the JK platform. Much of this is achieved by adding 38 cm to the rear of the Jeep. This creates the space necessary for two bench seats, a table, and a number of high quality cabinets. The kit is completely a bolt on affair with no cutting or drilling required.
