We went to Pismo Beach and found out that FJ cruisers do fly, but, it may not be the best idea. Check out this link and listen for a very loud crunch when she lands. She is still in San Luis Obispo…Continue

Dave Crockett replied to Back in Black (FJ4 Tahoe)'s discussion What did you do to your FJC Today???"I like the idea of making your Hi Lift match the truck. I get lots of good comments with mine, that is also painted to match. I also added a new solar battery tender to my air dam, that's my "what did you do to your FJ today" post."

Dave Crockett replied to Dave Crockett's discussion FYI, Don't take an FJ Cruiser flying"Hi there. The tent is holding up really well. A few scratches on the outside bottom, but, that was from an accident when a Mercedes rear ended me. That's the only blemish at all. We're hoping to get much more use out of it this summer, as…"
USA4X4 replied to Dave Crockett's discussion FYI, Don't take an FJ Cruiser flying"I see that you have had your Tepui for a while and was wondering how you like it. I am getting ready to buy one in the next couple of weeks. Is it holding up well?

- 2:01am? You HAVE been working all night on this project! Sounds really cool. It would be great to see you there on Sunday and I bet the others would be very interested. I understand the time crunch. Let me know if there is any thing I can do to help.

- Dave,
Don't know if you have been following the "on board shower thread" looks like we are meeting at Boztec shop in Alameda on Sunday morning - hoping you can make it and show your progress on your setup and your heat exchanger. Also some good info in the link posted by Ross Woody.

- Send me an email and I'll send you info on heat exchanger - jensmci@aol.com

- Hey I'm really interested in seeing what you are doing with your water heater - I've been looking at plate heat exchangers and parts based on some info I found on one of the expedition sites and have some ideas. I've put together my pump and pressure system just need the confidence to take the next step and start cutting hoses.
