Some things to consider would be width, diameter and offset.
Width- Depending on what tire you choose, it will have an optimum recommended wheel width to give you the best footprint. Choosing a significantly wider than stock wheel has the potential to push the face of tire and wheel combo out...
How did you all learn to wrench? It seems like a native tongue for many of you...
My Dad, who was a motorhead, went to trade school and was professional mechanic when he was younger. I got my first motorcycle as a basket case when I was 7 and my first pickup when I was 12. Dad taught me how...
We used to do quite a bit of hardcore "wheeling" in the late 80's and early 90's. We had some really good areas to go, steep hill climbs and deep boggy swamp areas. There were quite few local "regulars" that wheeled in the area and going at night was popular. Lot's of stuck rig and broken parts...
I do pretty much all of my own work. Since I quit wrenching full time, it has been one of my relaxation hobbies. But I like to do it, many of my friends do not have the mechanical experience, tools, place to do it and/or do not enjoy it. They have a lot of their work done by others. IMO Nothing...
Speaking of Craigslist, picked up this little 18" McCulloch chainsaw for $50 today. Runs great and will make a good saw for carrying in the rigs. Now I can leave my big Husqvarna with the 24" bar home.
If you're not in big hurry watch Craiglist and e-bay for used ones. I have a 2 gallon and two 1.75 gallon Rotopax that I found that way used along with mounts for less than half of new. To grubworms point, I did install snap in style gas jug vents. Makes them much easier to pour and you can vent...

I love cooking with cast iron. I have some newer Lodge stuff but my favorites are a mid 60's 10" Lodge skillet and a 10" Lodge Dutch oven with the domed drip lid. Found the skillet at Goodwill for $5.00 and the Dutch oven at a flea market for $10.00. Both are perfect size for camping. I take a...
I can't change the rig count on my attendee RSVP. Just as a coutesy FYI if it matters, we are planning to bring both Jeeps over. Thanks again, looking forward to it.
I agree with El Solis, getting the wound clean is important and the least traumatic method to close it is best. I have had to use a suture kit on a friend in the field before, that is tough to do. Alcohol wipes, super glue and butterfly bandages are my go to. Worst case scenario, my trauma kit...
