While I'm more a fan of the Silverado size trucks, GMT 400's. I've always thought there is a serious shortage of these - gen 1 OR gen 2 - being modified and offroaded. Nice to see it. Can NOT believe Chevy didnt make a proper K5 or S10 / 15 when bringing back the Blazer. Something like an SUV...

Back when i had my WJ, I had gone with IRO springs that I got from KOLAK (on a Jeep forum). My lift was slightly more modest. I liked the clearance and the ride. Your WJ looks good...makes me think about going out and getting another one. But JUST thinking about it

Thank you Kent. Seems like a nice person, very knowledgeable, well traveled

Out my way they are almost all gone.

I am partial to the GMT 400 platform having had a two tone Cheyenne single cab short bed standard shift 4x4, and two 90's 2 door Blazers of this iteration.

DB or PB? PBJ? I could use a sammich right about now

Food and water. Good tires. Tow/recovery strap. Lithium self starter (NOCO) Hardcopy maps of the area or good GPs. Patience. Practice things during the day and closer to home a number of times before practicing at night or farther away. The things you need will begin to present themselves.

Absolutely right

True. Jeep was invented around WW2 - 1941. And before that it was pack mules and horses and camels. What else is there to say? And while shooting from a public conveyance is illegal in my state I dont know it's illegal where they were. If it was even a public road. Doesnt mean I myself...

To be fair, the bridge WAS hinky, and the driver MAY have been irresponsible but sure wasnt careful enough. Didnt know there was another way, or didnt care. Thing is, back in the 80's and 90's, this could have happened to me, my brother and our friends. Instead of "going viral", it would have...

50km detour doesn't look so bad now, poor guy. But...why? Theres Google and there's GPS, ht at some point If the bridge is not up to it, why try to cross. Did he even know about the 50km detour? That's an expensive truck to let take a dip. Just out of concern for my wallet, I'd have...

I do this. Recently, though, I've read that these scents could attract bears. What to do

Nalgene water bottles: Freeze them after filling to 750 ml and you could have ice packs and cold water all day Pour in hot water and place in sleeping bag 10 minutes before sleep on a cold night Hold tyvek maps down If you ever crack a few, string them up as light casings for party lights

Vinegar. Soak then in vinegar for a couple days.

I always double knot. Prior to that, when crossing the laces, I cross them at the first boot hooks above instep. Then at the highest set of boot hooks, i double cross the laces then double knot. And I have used 5 50 for hiking boot laces. If I have super long laces, I cross, wrap around the...

Also dog food and dog water.

I have an old sticker from Hilton's Tent City, among many others. I just slap some clear packing tape over them when they start getting ratty. That way they sort of stay as-is

Anyone seen @Road around anymore? Haven't seen not heard from him in quite some time and his web presence (Roaddude) seems like there hasn't been much posted for a while. Roving photographer in a big white van pulling a trailer? Traveled the world as a kid? Anyone?

This and mainly to make sure lighter items dont get blown out of the truck bed. Theoretically you dont have to be as fastidious packing lighter items inside boxes. Or lighter items or blankets could be used as batting between boxes or delicate items. And they dont work their way out and get...

I've used a cargo net, though not of this seemingly high quality, for my drives to PEI and FLA. I think everyone who carries a load in an open bed pickup truck has used a net, or thought about it
