Interesting, in spite of being the two music fans that we are and a really good system in the cruiser, my wife and I rarely listen to music or anything else while driving. We talk, we laugh, we remark on the sights, we take all of it in. We even make up new fart jokes. We’ll go an entire trip...

So, you know that’s how they did it? That would be my assumption as well, but everyone knows where assumptions lead us.

It’s open. That was rather quick. Dynamite? Heavy bulldozers and cranes? I can’t find any info on the mechanics of that clearing.

I’m just now re reading your query. I’ll just say this- you stated that you broke a sway bar at Big Bend, we’ve been there, it’s really pretty mild stuff. If you broke a sway bar then what else will break really soon while traversing average trails and forest roads?

Sent you a PM, thanks

I guess that would depend on the definition of design. All 4x4 recreational vehicles are direct descendants of the Bantam, then the CJ2a, and or, the original Power Wagons, which were designed as a work vehicle for war, farming, logging and other heavy industrialized work. That original...

My wife has all our ratchet straps well trained. With her in charge the straps never misbehave. So, there is no need for isolation. They live quite nicely with the general population of bungees, a stratchet, a small collection of those ever handy gear/nite ties, and herkimer connectors...

That’s an interesting question- were Landcruisers ever designed for recreational off roading? I don’t think any vehicle platform was ever designed for recreational off roading. Even the original Civilian Jeep’s CJ2a, were marketed as a tool. It wasn’t until the 70s that the Jeep brand...

No answers? Nope. I don’t have em so can’t really say how they are. But two things scream cheap, Rough Country & $99. I’m surprised rough country hasn’t gone the way of Iron Horse, or any number of other discount companies that no longer exist.

A little over a year ago I installed a long range auxillary fuel tank. That freed up a ton of room as we no longer need to carry 2 or 3 jerry cans of gasoline. The propane has been up on the racks for a decade and it was time to move it down off the racks. I stumbled upon this holder, bought...

We would really like to be able to bring a telescope. Something like this one. Maybe Santa will drop one down the chimney, then, I’ll figure out a way to pack and transport safely...

I’ve looked into the sprinter type platforms and I’d never even consider one unless it was a dually. True about tandem axles- for livestock, utility & camper trailers, but for a 6’ expo trailer, not too practical, that’s why I always advise folks to have matching wheels & tires all the way...

We’ve had the trailer ever since we began exploring really remote places. If no trailer? Different story- we were out & about in southern Utah a few years ago and a rookie driving his father’s 100 series, had sliced open both tires on the driver side - Yikes! Fortunately they had two...

A long time ago I drug two spares around. No longer, the wheels&tires on the trailer match those on the 80. One spare is plenty. Worst case scenario would be moving both flats to the trailer, leaving the trailer and going to find two new tires.

I use fist grips. I never lock anything down, in fact the only thing I lock up are the vehicles doors, and very rarely do that. As far as shovel security. My grandpa was a very wise old farmer & once remarked that anyone dumb enough to steal a shovel, would be dumb enough to use a shovel...

I’m curios why you would want a C or D rated tire for an overland vehicle?

Not for me, and way too big. that, if it were for me I’d just get an Oz tent swag and be done with it. Thanks

My daughter has a Hyundai Tucson and is looking for one of those tents that attach to the rear of the vehicle when the hatch is up. She found one for $200. That’s way too cheap and will wear out really quickly, ( think department store tent ) . Does anyone have any recommendations for such a...

Back to your first born- is she good looking ?

I can, and a lot of others can as well. However, that would cross over into socio/political/economics talk and that would get all of us nowhere fast.
