    When does cost of a vehicle to build matter to you?

    I totally get it, I’ve gone without new fancy stuff for a loooong time. From my off-roading history, I’ve always had quite a few people I’ve gone rock crawling with (rubicon, fordyce and others) that it was expected for someone to break and one of the crew including myself had the capability...

    FreeSpirit Ready light review

    I purchased the Ready Light from FreeSpirit after watching a few episodes of Coyote Works. I liked how easy it looked to set up and mostly for the solar self charging and versatility of the pod lights. It’s definitely not a cheap light to buy, but so far it’s been worth it. My only gripe...

    Gardnerville for the night

    When does cost of a vehicle to build matter to you?

    All you guys are awesome and bring up great points I think like most of you, I love all kinds of vehicles. When I’m on a trail and see a vintage rig, it gives me a huge smile to see someone keeping a old girl looking and working good. Like a lot of you said- monthly note vs monthly repair...

    When does cost of a vehicle to build matter to you?

    Also, I get it’s mostly about what we can afford to have or don’t mind pintriping with tree limbs

    When does cost of a vehicle to build matter to you?

    Little history of myself. I’ve been an automotive technician all of my 25+ career years. I have the capability of buying a diamond in the rough and making it useful to my needs. But now in my “older years”, I’d rather be up fitting and camping than spending weekends repairing or fixing...

    Gardnerville for the night

    Plans were to stay the night on the Carson River then head to Bodie.......we didn’t make it to Bodie unfortunately. Our little dog decided to swan dive off my daughters lap and mess up her back leg. So the adventure turned into a vet visit in Gardnerville Cool thing though was my 15 y/o...

    Jeep Owners Represent!

    265/75/17’s. They came off a stock Rubicon JK Just a budget boost lift spacers. 2.5” front 2” rear With all my stuff loaded the rear squats more than I like. But with the awd I can get too crazy without having to change out drivelines and yokes. If I ever go that far I’ll just do a...

    1999 Jeep WJ wannabe overlander

    Super excited about picking this light up. Watching Coyote_works YouTube channel is who sold me on buying one. Price isn’t for the faint at heart that’s for sure, but I really like what the light offers for functionality

    1999 Jeep WJ wannabe overlander

    So I bought this 1999 WJ Limited about 6 years ago and a couple weeks later my mother in-law wanted it so she could drive safe in the Oregon winters..... Now a couple months ago she let me know she doesn’t need it anymore. Of course the check engine light is on, ABS light glowing, coolant...

    Project “shoestring”. A Jeep TJ build

    Been a while since I’ve updated my build progress here. Back in November I believe I entered a contest through Metalcloak to win $5k in Metalcloak product and I think I used all the luck I’ve had saved up because I won! [emoji41] I had a really hard decision deciding on what lift to choose...

    US West China Springs road, Gardnerville NV

    It kept me dry lol The smittybilt tent is by far NOT the best tent out there. The mattress pad is horrible and the tent itself will not keep you warm. It got down to 18 that night. Heater buddy is a must and a good sleeping bag. But it’s better than sleeping on the ground. I picked up the...
