Nearly all of my cutlerly and odds and ends like a spatula, cutting board ect are from Dollar General or Family Dollar. I don't carry much in the way of cook ware other than a cast iron griddle I put on my dual burner stove and a USGI mess kit.

Used the XJ to pick up a M416 trailer. Going to do a semi-restore. Basically wirewheel/flap wheel it down and recoat/paint, new tires, lights ect. Want to keep it mostly like it would have been when it rolled off the line in the 60s. Just going to haul camping gear and be a light duty around...

Nearly all my lighting is USB rechargable stuff or at least runs on USB power. To me it's just a lot easier to deal with, setup, tear down ect. And no extra fuel containers to bring along.

I've got a Coleman accordion type camp table and lifetime fold out. Both are great the Coleman takes up about as much space as a small fold out camp chair, the Lifetime takes up a lot more space but has more surface area and is more stable...

That wasn't my experience. When I first got stationed out there I didn't know I needed one (even for propane grilles and whatnot) a Forrest Ranger was driving around checking yellow post sites and stopped at mine introduced himself asked if I had a permit for the grille I was using. I looked...

Texas absolutely sucks for overlanding. And if you are coming from the west, you will be sorely disappointed in what we have (or don't) available. As other's have stated around the Dallas area will put you within 4ish hours of Eastern Oklahoma and Arkansas which is where all the good...

My go to pocket knife for daily carry is a Kershaw Brawler. Spring assist opening. They run around 20 dollars so I keep a few around as spares. Easy to use not expensive so if I lose it I'm not going to be upset. I also carry a Gerber Diesel multi-tool daily and keep another in the ashtray...

My wife had a first gen and when she traded it in she was all set on another till she really looked close and saw they had changed it to be more shaped like a bar of soap, you know for aerodynamics. Totally ruined the cargo area for her. She trains dogs and HAS to have a mostly square cargo...

I started doing this as well with the kids old juice containers. They also work good for short term like day trip ice. No need ot throw in a bag of ice when I can toss in 2 bricks of ice and be good for the day.

While there are some decent areas in Texas, we're largely starved of public access lands to do the kind of stuff we enjoy doing. I'm fortunate to be less than 3 hours from the Ouchita Ntl Forrest. That's where you see me if I have any kind of free days.

For their size they really have quite an impressive cargo area. The area behind the rear seats is quite square and deep, at least the older ones. I understand the newer models have more of a slope to the rear window cutting down on cargo space.

Less protection of the body. But better approach angle for your tires.

I've got a regular sized version of the above bag and keep a 30 foot strap, 2 shackles and a pair of gloves in one and a kinetic rope and 2 soft shackles with room to spare in another. The above one is about 6 inches longer and a few inches wider and may hold what you are trying to pack in there.

I put it in a plastic bag and under all of my other cooking stuff in my cook gear bag. The plastic bag is mostly to keep grease and oil off of stuff not to protect the cast iron.

Do not use wasp spray for self defense. Just like birdshot in shotguns being for birds, wasp spray is for wasps. Proper name brand OC spray is pretty cheap on Amazon. Don't get the fogger, get either the stream or foam, it's less effected by winds...

Hydro Ram Assist. This requires drilling and tapping your gear box. You could go up to a something like a PSC power steering pump that has a higher pressure. The cheapest solution is to stick to a reasonable tire size.

Yeah, need an amateur license to use that legally. On the upside it gives you an excuse to get your HAM license :D

Can't help you on the online testing front. What kind of license you need depends on what bands you are using. CB and FRS requires no license. HAM requires an Amateur Radio License. GMRS requires a GMRS license. There are no licenses that cover all the services. GMRS and Amateur Radio...

No that specific one. Mine was with a SENA SR10 in a motorcycle application. Worked well, could make contacts at 80+ MPH and people had no idea I was on a motorcycle.
