    96 Trooper

    This vintage of Trooper is really easy to get additional ground clearance on. Less than an hour to put Old Man Emu springs n the rear and adjust the torsion bars in front. Stock shocks still fit. Just get an alignment afterwards and you're ready to roll.

    Alright let's see the cool stuff you got for Christmas.

    Please share the cool stuff you got or gave for Christmas. Hope everyone had a good one. My best gift was spending time with my family. But this as a pretty cool present from my boys. A collapsible fire pit and sign for the expedition trailer.

    Your one "must have"

    I rotate McManus books in me expedition trailer. Back in Junior High, our woodshop teacher was a fisherman. My best friend (who's goal back then was to be Rancid Crabtree) and I would sit in the backroom of the woodshop, tie flies and read the The Last Laugh column from the Outdoor Life...

    96 Trooper

    Congrats and welcome. Those are great rigs. Pretty bullet proof and easy to work on. My son has a '98 that he has been working on. Good luck with the build.

    On the fence - push me over: buy or build a skottle?

    If you have the tools and desire, I would say try to build your own. If you don't like it, you can always buy one. Personally, I like to build things. So I scored some old 15" and 20" disc blades from my brother. Going to build 2 skottles and 3 discadas for my friends and myself.

    What do you think are really good tires for most off road ventures

    I had those on my Cherokee. They worked good and held up well in the lava rock we have here.

    What do you think are really good tires for most off road ventures

    Over the years I have run Coopers, Toyo's, BFG's, GY Wranglers plus a few others. I put a set of Maxxis Razr MTs on my JK this fall and am really happy with them. They work good, are fairly quite and drive decent. I will be putting a set on the Ram next time.

    Nature Photos

    My understanding is that it is closed to camping for that reason but you can still hike to it. No surprise to those of us that appreciate and respect nature that a few idiots ruin something amazing again.

    Very cool, I love our central Oregon history. Headed over from Prineville. Looking forward to it. Just curious if the trails are pretty aggressive and I should leave the adventure trailer home?

    Hello fellow Oregonian. I love cooking on and in cast iron. Lots of great simple recipes out there. Lodge actually has a couple pretty inexpensive cook books for dutch ovens. Also keep an eye out at Goodwill, I have found a few old cookbooks for campfire cooking there. IMO the key to dutch oven...
