Thank you Chris for posting this.
I look forward to seeing yours and Scott's works in 4WD Toyota Owner magazine, and will look forward to reading even more adventure type trips in your new magazine. Will be checking it out for sure. This is the way I am trying to setup my FJ Cruiser instead of a rock crawler. The adventure/excursion/exploration type has more appeal to me.

You are definitely not alone! And that is why we started the magazine. There is a huge following of this type of lifestyle that has been severely underserved, especially here in the U.S., until now.

I'm dropping hints like crazy to the wife for her to get me this for my birthday.
Either way, I will be subscribing.

Scott, I really enjoyed seeing the pictures posted here earlier in the year of your adventure up to the Arctic Circle with your Tacoma, that was awesome.

Great stuff Chris.
The fridge article should be very good for those looking to equip their rig for some time outdoors. I know the ice cream bars I served up at last Saturdays Greenwater run were a hit.

Thanks Corey. Yes, 15 pages are dedicated to the very detailed fridge test and review. Each fridge has two pages with detail photos and analysis. We used testing equipment and circuitry along with a data-logger to capture real-time information on each fridge so useful comparisons could be made and all of the specifications and details are summarized in a table format at the end of the article for multiple comparisons at a glance.

Now that is what I call professional testing Chris.
I see some sales on fridge/freezers coming from this. Jeff and Michael that joined us from ARB headquarters at the Greenwater run had one in the back of the ARB FJ Cruiser.

Update: Apr 08
A little update on the Journal:
We are well into our second year of operation and things have really taken off! We have added more pages to the magazine and have a healthy lineup of content for 2008. We have already published our annual Gear Guide for 2008, which is currently available as a back-issue at the online store. If you have been thinking about subscribing, you may want to do so before the Spring 08 issue ships out, which is only a few weeks away. Spring 08 will feature a test and review of air compressors, Part II of the Continental Divide ride, and my favorite: Chris Scott's intriguing expedition into the Empty Quarter of the Sahara. I won't spoil the story, but I'll say that it involves Toyotas and "undercover" operations. For those not familiar with the Saharan "Empty Quarter" , I'll quote an excerpt from Chris Scott's sahara-overland.com website: "The late Wilfred Thesiger's travels in the Arabian 'Empty Quarter' are well known, but the Sahara too has its barren expanses. In the east is the Libyan Desert, while the less well known Majabat al Koubra spreads across the Mauritania-Mali borders. These hyper-arid, million-square kilometre regions within the greater Sahara are barely touched by human presence; they represent the essence of the place known to the Arabs as al sahra: the desert." Here is a sneak-peek at the current Gear Issue: ![]() ![]() Thanks so much to all who have supported our independent publication!
