    New Mexico Backcountry Discovery Route

    Ha, good call! You’ll be fine, no problems in the southern half of NM. If you cruise through Capitan, grab some chow (they told our Diminutive Tyrant to pound sand after she pulled their Independence Day parade permit and had their parade anyway - people are getting ticked). If you see a NMSP...

    New Mexico Backcountry Discovery Route

    Para 3 defines those not required to self iso for 2 WEEKS (sounds like the movie ”Better Off Dead”...2 dollars) https://www.governor.state.nm.us/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Executive-Order-2020-056.pdf It reads as though a petulant ruler trying to punish their subjects. Not applicable if you are...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Something fell off... Hard to find good repair work around my AO. The shop didn’t allow the RTV to cure long enough before bolting the shaft collar to the trans (NV3550). Leaking gear oil while driving (clean spots on the bottom of the bell housing). Might as well remove the exhaust to inspect...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Did the same with my Jeep after stripping a key. Hammered on the appropriate sized socket to spin off the stripped keyed lug nut. Thought to myself, self, what? Who said that...? Um, where was I...oh yeah, that would not be fun out on the trail. Replaced the remaining keyed lug nuts with regular...

    Leveling Kit and Rock Sliders

    What MMc wrote. I bolted on RCI sliders on my stock TRDOR just before a Moab trip (Jeep Code 3 for that trip). The sliders paid for themselves on the blue portion of the Colorado River Overlook trail north of the Needles Visitor Center. After that trip, I went from the oem 245 tires to 265...

    Same setup. The plate under the brake booster is a good location for an ARB compressor: I use the gallon milk jug cap (perfect friction fit) to keep out debris. The compressor is wired to an sPOD. The air hose reaches all five tires.

    I think the wench is going to get peeved being put into that tight space...it’s gotta be some sort of OSHA enclosed space violation...plus, I don’t think her arms will provide enough reach to an anchor point to enable a recovery. A winch might be better.

    ABC News report: National Parks under fire now for racism

    Only a racist would take in nature’s beauty and focus on skin color. Americans are getting pissed during this election year, accused of being something they know they’re not: admit you’re a racist... your silence is racist... How about GFY. Anecdotal, but the most outspoken Americans at work...

    It’s 506 miles to the NMBDR, you’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark...and you’re wearing sunglasses.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    R&R’d my TJ Rubicon‘s oem sliders with a set of Rock Hard 4x4 tube sliders. Even with only a 2” lift, had to prop the floor jack up on ramps in order to seat the slider into position for drilling holes. One of my proper tools was taping a serrated flange nut to my middle finger to reach the...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    A gallon milk jug cap friction fits perfectly to the ARB hose connector: Inexpensive way to keep the dust & debris out.

    2018 TRD OR DCSB 4X4 build

    Nice mods. Similar Tacoma but a 2017. First install was a pair of RCI sliders just in time for my first trip to the Moab AO (my TJ was Code 3 after local shop shenanigans, eventually repaired by myself). Stock truck handled the easier trails without issue. The sliders did pay for themselves...
