Carrying skis/snowboard with OE Expedition Rack
The expedition rack has it's own set of integral cross-bars, but good to know Thule has something that matches the OE cross-bars. I guess my best bet is to drive out to a REI/Campmor and see if they have something that fits. I'll start with the Thule stuff. Was hoping just to order it... -

Carrying skis/snowboard with OE Expedition Rack
Thanks for the link... But that is a set of crossbars, with a built-in ski carrier. Like you had mentioned, I already have a set of cross-bars... So that wouldn't work for me. I was wondering if anyone knew of a native mount to the existing Expedition crossbars, or if maybe a universal... -

Carrying skis/snowboard with OE Expedition Rack
Hi all- Has anyone tried to mount a ski/snowboard carrier to the cross-bars of the factory expedition rack? Our truck, which we've had for a bit now, came with the OE rack already installed. The rack has proven itself useful many times, however I'm not clear if either the OE ski rack, or... -

ARB Fridge
I've been using the older style ARB fridge for years now as well... I've been waiting for it to even flinch so I can tell my wife I need to buy a new one, but it's been rock solid. It runs pretty much year round as well. Either in the rig doing some sort of duty, or on the deck as my beer... -

No pics... Looks like you're pointing to links that are secure. IE httpS. You can probably see them on your local PC because you are already logged in/authorized. -

Infact car seats - does anyone have a stright answer ?
We've got a Recaro Signo (convertible, now forward facing) behind the passenger seat. And a Graco Snugride (bucket) in the center. The SnugRide snaps into a base that is mounted via the shoulder harness, and the Recaro is anchored via the latch system. It's a tight squeeze with both seats... -

Towing - Who has towed what?
Glad to see/hear about all of these positive towing stories. I just bought a bought a boat (Scout SF 185), and it's pretty light. Boat + motor + trailer probably weigh 2500lbs, and then figure another 500lbs of 'stuff'. The trailer that came with the boat didnt have breaks though... I... -

Towing - Who has towed what?
That looks awesome! I dont know much about the Airstreams, but I was under the impression that the older/classic ones are actually alot lighter than the newer ones. Any ideas on what it weighes? How about tongue weight? -

Advice on a new vehicle? (to augment or replace the LR3)
I've got a ~3yr old, 6 week old, and a 5yr old black lab. She's 91lbs of pup... And we faced the same dilemma. We spend a decent amount of time driving on the beach, and like to head up to the mountains at least once a winter. We're actually leaving in 2 weeks for our summer vacation, and... -

Non-Heated Steering Wheel to Heated Steering wheel?
Looks interesting... How does one turn on/off the heated wheel? I didnt realize it was a LR3 option. -

2008 LR3 question for me!!????
I think the price is to high as well. I bought an 08 HSE Lux last August with 33k miles on it for 36,500. It came with the expedition rack, A-bar, aux lights as well. Miles were a little high, but I drive <5k per year. I also had a dealer sell a truck I had a deposit on to someone else... -

AdventureParents.com Interviews the Woods Family
Really cool... I was just looking at their website a couple of weeks ago and wishing I had better access to Baja from NYC. Maybe it was mentioned in the Overland Journal? Fun to do some vicarious living out here on the right coast. -

Factory Trailer Wiring Harness Install Help
Thanks for all the pics and the write-up Bean. I did end up ordering from BPUtah, and spoke to them on the phone. They did seem like really nice guys. I bought the new hitch receiver from them as well. I have seen the Gen II receivers being sold via ebay/craigslist, but never a new Gen... -

Factory Trailer Wiring Harness Install Help
Thanks for the heads up about the BPUtah harness/price. I saw they also have the best price on the newest model hitch receiver, which is annoyingly $400 (500 msrp). They dont have a shopping cart though, and the ordering process seems kind of hokey. Here is the newest receiver. The...
