    Whiskey/Wine bottle travel cases

    While one always wants to enjoy their scotch with a proper set of crystal glasses, I am inclined to use poly-carbonate glasses for my travel gear. At the local grocery store I found some inflatable sleeves for wine bottles and got some for my scotch and run, and, and... but I have to say... I...

    Scottles Worth the Price?

    I am not trying to take away from Tembo, but they are available from other companies much cheaper, and it is easy to DIY a discata... Tembo's owners are said to be a part of the general overland community, and I am in favor of supporting those in our community, but the price is too steep for me...

    Found the right thing in U.K., how do I get it in U.S.?

    Thoughts on swapping to a smaller tire size

    you might find proper gearing will have much greater effect on your mpg than tire width, but yes skinny ATs will get better mileage than wider MTs and better on road handling off road however wider MTs will give better off road traction and handling... I had ATs on factory wheels and MTs on...

    Let them eat SPAM!

    I am seriously having to fight the urge to start quoting the spam sketch here... spam spam spam.... no must resist!!! Seriously as a kid in the 70s-80s, I think pasta salad with spam chunks was a staple of every household in the midwest (and likely elsewhere) in the summer. I can not say I am...

    Music choices... Sirius XM or your own music?

    thanks for the tip. I will give it a look (well listen)... my musical taste is all over the map, but there is very li'l in 70's-80's classic rock or 80's pop I do not like.

    Track rail routing adapter for lights

    Are yoiu looking for something that mounts on the crossbars as shown in RoarinRow's picture, or are you looking for something that attaches elsewhere? perhaps a pic of where you want lights to mount will give a better idea of what you are looking for.
