Here’s my little overlander ‘13 Toyota Tundra. A few mods. ARB Bumper, winch, snorkel, rear air locker to name a few. There’s a build and adventure thread in the signature if you like.

I’ve seen this before. Areas are re-zoned and old campsites still look either used or somewhat used at least. Alberta has public land use maps that I reference. They’re free on the Alberta .gov website. Just google “pluz Alberta” if it’s in Alberta. Or the equivalent for whatever province you’re...

In the Jeep it’s usually just me and maybe one other person. I usually travel with a family of 5 and a dog but when we’re all going I have a Toyota Tundra I use. I did see someone with an LJ that had a raised platform for sleeping. He had it mounted on the passenger side, and for length he’d...

A little update. I added a sticker... I know. It's a big update, but I like this sticker. Means something to me anyway. :-) Spent a little time testing and playing in the snow. Had to chain up to help a friend up a hill. I love tire chains in the snow. So much fun!

Hello and welcome from Edmonton!

Nice. That’s what my Subaru Forester gets. Give or take a little. The Jeep, not so much tho. ‍

Not knowing much about the Currie currectlync system, what’s the advantage? Heavier components, better steering geometry? The clearance of these diff covers is pretty close to stock. I haven’t checked at full droop yet. I need to try this (see photo) with the front sway bar disconnected. But...

The OPDA replacement went as I expected. I tend to turn an hour job into a weekend fight & this one was no different. I researched a bit & planned meticulously, then half way through the process abandoned the plan, improvised and messed up the timing. :expressionless: Alright, not the end of...

Mission accomplished! Made it to Fort Smith & back on an ice road adventure & winter camping trip. We didn't loop it, but went up and back. Saved 700km, and did the ice road twice. GORGEOUS country. Already planning the same trip for next year. :-) Write up is here...

While they’re sitting at home telling you can’t do what you’re already doing, you can be out doing it.

Your video didn’t work... but my kitchen is a little... low tech. But it works for a family of 5 for usually 3 day weekends, sometimes longer. All in one moving box that I liberated from work. Little Coleman stove sits on top. The little black bags are a breathable sort of canvassy thingy...

Fort McMurray is home to the Oil sands. It’s basically sand soaked in bitumen (thick and a lot like tar). They extract the bitumen and refine it to synthetic crude oil.

Lol. The cold isn’t so bad.

Thanks!

Funny you should mention that. I just got their flyer for the March Madness sale. They have some pretty wicked sales at times. I have been debating a Safari snorkel, but I haven't convinced myself... Yet. I did buy the Crown Automotive OPDA from 4 wheel parts though. It was on sale for 17%...

Thanks! That is a sharp looking Jeep. I was thinking that if I ever painted that’s the colour I’d think hard about... That OPDA is a good point. I heard of that the other day for the first time. I’ll see if I can find the replacement you mention.

This is either a genius plan... Or a complete brain fart. It seems like the parts options for a Jeep are endless, but one piece of the puzzle that baffled me were rock sliders. For jeep LJ it seemed to be largely bolt on to the body type. Not a running board bolt to the frame type. As near...

Another 4wheelparts sale, and these followed me home:

Chains. I love snow chains. The advantage in snow is... significant. My brother brought some chains home from a farm sale and offered them up to me. Nice light chains, good studs on them, and free? Right up my alley. We had to fight with them a little as they were made for a dually, but...

Little more lift. I HAD to get rid of the shovel. It hasn't been an issue yet, but I know it will be. It looks like it's designed to grab mud and large items then cram them into the transfer case, so it's gotta go. The same boxing day sale that I bought the Genright tank, I bought a Teraflex...
