Do you have traction boards? I've found a shovel and traction boards gets the job done easier than the whole winching set up. I've been in those off kilter in ruts thing in both mud and snow/ice and every time all I needed was a little nudge or just a little more traction to get out. Even in...

Sooooo..... We have all kind of glossed over the thought of how stuck will the O.P. be in his CRV? Is it AWD or FWD? Almost all stucks I have been in with not overly " off road capable" vehicles really only needed a nudge to get unstuck. so, for the cost and fabrication effort, I'd go come...

I'd go with the rear locker and a few more pics for all of us to see..... this half a car photo is for the birds.... COME ON!!!!!

Old Navy has been putting stretchy in their jeans for some time. I'm on the thinner side, but on the other side of 40, so, I'll take it. :grin:

Years and years ago I quit paying attention to what other people were doing when I realized I needed to buy a $120 pair of jeans to be cool. Life is better this way. $29 jeans cover my legs the same....

I keep a cable cutter in my driver's door pocket. I'll snip the cable if SHTF. no way I'm going to properly get a wrench on things in the heat of the moment.

Even paid off, I'd have a hard time swallowing 5k on a 14 year old vehicle just to make it pass inspection. What happens next year? Is there any way to get a second opinion on the inspection? I'm not familiar with the rules where you are.

Miles and what year Tucson is also helpful. Is the vehicle even worth 5k once it's fixed?

I've never once broken a mason jar. In fact, they are my preferred "Tupperware" for my daily lunch at work.

Yup, the thing was new as far as I was concerned. By going used, I was able to afford the Pro-4x trim level for the same cost as a new base model Frontier would have cost (about a 10K difference) and I have always been happy with that decision as it has all the options available aside from...

That's a thing as well. Sometimes, you just need to spend a little on yourself. I kind of did this with my current truck. I had paid my last truck off early, went 5+ years without a payment. The truck was a regular cab 2wd and was just not completely what I wanted. Still reliable, but getting...

There is no cut and dry answer for me. While the Gladiator is nice, I don't have gladiator money, so, not even a topic for my wallet. My truck is still reliable, so, I am forced to cross that bridge only when it is costing me more than a payment on something newer would be. With that said, my...

The situational awareness is super important. I try to do this as much as possible, even when I am just out on a walk with my wife, son and dog. Even something as simple as agreeing that my wife is to pick up the dog and be ready to get moving the moment I say "grab the dog" as we have...

We use flour tortillas whenever possible, doubles as a plate and eliminates forks and spoons a little. Also, we wash in a small plastic bin. We heat some water (one coffee pot worth) , add soap, wash all dishes in the bin, then we use our hand pump sprayer to rinse. We normally use one coffee...

As already mentioned, there is no one answer normally. This is where the use of multiple maps is key. And, sometimes, you will come to a gate in the road. This is where having one of the private/public land map chips is nice.

Do you plan on using any of these in the rotation? Are you really going to swap two wheels over every time you go off road? When I upsized tires on my truck, since my spare is a steel wheel, I just had the tire shop install a new house brand AT tire on the spare.

You need to give it 5-10 minutes to really get cooking. Once I really smell the pad, I notice bugs are gone. Also, make sure you don't open the pad packaging until you want to use it. then when done, let the pad cool a few minutes and seal it in a zip lock bag for next time. If there is still...

I am also a big fan of the Thermacell. I actually use my almost daily on my front patio in the evenings at home. I normally don't use any bug spray. With that said, some good bug spray is going to be key. I'm a person that mosquitos love, so I have found different sprays work better than...

Never Eat Soggy Waffles... directions on the compass.

Looks similar to how I mounted my Maxtrax. One thought, I would take a file and make the hole in the plate square so the shoulder of the lag bolt slips in and keeps it from turning. I can see where you may end up with tightening or loosening issues because that bolt will want to spin when you...
