Fzj80 Back Bay Customs Tailgate Storage Lid

I finally made the big plunge head first down the rabbit hole of land cruiser wish list upgrades and bought a Back Bay Custom Tailgate Storage Lid. I was so impressed and happy after installing the rear cargo attic shelf that I was compelled to continue to find efficient ways to store all of our [...]

Fiamma F35 Awning & K9 Roof Rack

This has taken me a bit of time with trouble shooting and overall procrastination. I finally pulled the trigger and bought the Fiamma this Holliday season during Eurovans Black Friday sale. I was able to get a price reduction that equaled Free Shipping! **For a less expensive slightly more involving alternative then consider using the [...]

DIY Cloth TP

I made this reusable cloth TP roll for my own personal use to be used with a bidet and only after peeing. I do not recommend using cloth TP for cleaning or drying after defecting aka going #2, as this is a high transmission route for diseases and urinary tract infections for women and young [...]

ECOFRIENDLY Toilet Paper Options

Bidet Let’s start at the top of what is allegedly the best option and take a look at the bidet. I fell in love with bidets after traveling through Asia for a month and installed one shortly after returning home. I have been using a Luxe Bidet Neo 320 for over a year now. I [...]

80 series ARB Dual Air Compressor Mounting Locations

Update: I have a permanent and affordable mounting solution! We had a custom engine bay dual battery tray and ARB ckmta12 mount built and installed for $279. Pictures are on the way! After years of pining away, looking at pictures online, and of dreaming of all the updates and changes that we could make [...]

96 Land Cruiser Seat Organizers

9/2023- I made another set of these for our new Rav4 Prime UPDATE 5/27/19: We just got back from the 2019 Overland EXPO 10 year anniversary and testing out the seat organizers and other various upgrades recently made. By far I loved having the organizers and additional attic space. It greatly reduced the amount of [...]

Single Pane Window Insulation and More

I will explore making my own Window and door Draft Stoppers, thermal insulated curtains, ½ in EMT conduit curtain rods and finials, and no drill options for hanging the curtain rod and hardware. Our 100 year old historic home has very drafty single pane windows, over 48 windows to be exact. I love the way [...]

Customized Textiles

This method can be used to make table runners, place mats, curtains, or any number of other household textile items. For me this started because I wanted a small rug in front of my coffee table. The problem was that no store bought rug seemed to fit the 15 inch space between the couch and [...]

½ in EMT Curtain Rod and Finials

Since my windows are 11ft wide I needed a viable option for a curtain rod that can span the distance, be strong, and light weight. This left me looking at using ½ inch EMT Conduit. I can’t express how excited I was to save money on making my own curtain rods and seeing the finished [...]

Jack Skellington Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween

I started this project October of 2017 and it took me over a year to finish due to life events. I am happy to share the results and if you have any great ideas to improve on this build please share them. Caution this is a lengthy and tedious project that took up 4-7 hours [...]
