Lots of good country to explore around here. [emoji106]

Hello & welcome to Edmonton!

Time to lock up the Heep!

I did run chains on the farm truck for a full winter (off road obviously). I found that I’d put the chains on with the tires flat then pump up the tire. Worked awesome. No slack and super tight chains.

No. You don’t HAVE to air up for chain use. I air down when I’m off roading and even rough roading depending on the terrain. I use my chains if I get into a pickle or an emergency, but I don’t drive a long distance with the chains unless I absolutely have to. My view is to air down first...

My brother asked me what the ARB lights on my bumper cost me one time... Right in front of my wife! Tsk tsk. What a rookie. I gave him hell later.

Probably not. And my sponsor (wife) isn’t quite prepared to spring for that much of a trip just yet. It’s about 2300km, I’m thinking 4 days should have it done. Just a long weekend endurance trip really. With some fun winter camping thrown in for good measure.

Just in the beginning stages of planning a little trip north. I've always wanted to drive an ice road. I get a kick out of the fuel tip from the Alberta winter road update page. 24 hours of fuel... I get what they mean, 24 hours of idling if you're stuck in one spot, but it's still kinda...

I lost someone once. We had a group Camping out west one time for a quadding trip and a friend of my brothers came along. I had never met him before. We went out Friday morning for some exploring but he didn’t come along. We came back to camp Friday around supper time, ate and were sitting...

I found an awesome trail system one time. All grass covered decommissioned logging roads that were winding through the hills. After a few hours I hit a good serviced gravel road that I wasn’t expecting. As near as I knew there weren’t any roads where I thought I was. Lol I headed east on that...

The plate looks like Idaho. As long as the Jeep can’t cross state lines then it must be Idaho. [emoji846]

I cobbled together my own little system with some parts from princess auto.

I hear you there. I can occasionally drag the family out, but sometimes it's just me driving in circles. Which can be fun too. I can listen to more Podcasts that way. :-)

You betcha. I Overland with a 2013 Toyota Tundra. For closer and more off-roady trips I have a 2005 LJ. The truck build and a few recent adventures is here. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/2013-tundra-clifford-build-adventures.5006/page-2#post-110557

Good catch. I stand corrected.

I had a friend in high school. He’d buy 3 old used non-functioning Honda trikes and tear them all down. A year later he’ll have scabbed the pieces together and have a functioning trike. I watched him do it with snowmobiles, cars, tractors and anything else he could get his hands on...

Mine is a wild coast tents “outpost”. 76”x123”. I can fit 4 up top fairly comfortably and put one in the annex. I’m sure I could fit 2 in the annex but I run out of kids at that point. [emoji846] http://shop.wildcoasttents.com/Outpost-Roof-Top-Tent-OUTPOST-RTT.htm

I had bf Goodrich ko2’s in my tundra. My KO2’s I had trouble with. I couldn’t keep them balanced and at 40% wear they howled like a banshee and had a resonant drone. Otherwise I liked the performance in varied terrain. Lots of trails and a couple Moab wheeling trips. Currently running Toyo...

I do. I don’t mind the snow in the slightest... until I have to shovel it. Then it gets old in a hurry. [emoji57] I Love the clean crisp snow in the mountains and like camping late into the fall or early spring. Until about -10°C it’s good. After that it gets a tad on the chilly side. [emoji846]

Depends on your goal. If you’re catching up and have a lot to read, then oldest to newest is most convenient. If you’re up to date and just reading along as it goes then you want newest at the top. If you’re getting the request, then Someone wants to reverse the order. Give them a button at...
