Enjoy. Let us know how you cook them up, and how you like it.

You're making me want to run it again!

I bought a new Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 SWB single cab in 1996 (still got it). 5.2 V8/Auto trans, and nicely equipped. Came with solid axles front & rear. It was my daily driver for years getting about 12 MPG +/- (a little more before I lifted it 2", 4.10 gears, 285/75/16" [33"] tires). In 2008 I...

I too am thinking of doing the COBDR this summer (August). I spent some time in CO going south to north on the TAT last summer. Neal escorted us on some trails out there - Thanks again Neal! So I've got a Jeep and small trailer. Does any of the COBDR have trailer restrictions? If so, are...

Ok... well I was planning on posting a Rally Point today for meeting up in Dawson Creek BC in late July and heading north to run the Dempster Highway to the Arctic Ocean. I actually had the template pulled-up. And then I found this (check it out): Link: Borders and airports | GNWT's Response...

Ok... if all goes according to plan, I will be posting a Rally Point for the Dempster Trip next week sometime under the US NW Region. Figure we'll meet up in Canada in Dawson Creek BC by the sign (start of the Alaska Highway) on/about 30 July (Rally Point will have specifics), and we'll go from...

Ok... so I just mailed leeloo 10 cans of spam, and a spam slicer. He lives in Luxembourg. The picture only shows 9 cans, but the box I used would hold 10, so I tossed in another one (either a low sodium or lite one... I forget). In case you're wondering, to mail the package it cost $87 from...

A Yaris might not be my first choice for running the Dempster, but its what I've got. And my wife won't let me take her Subaru Crosstrek (which would be my first choice between the two). I still need to install the 1.2" lift kit on the Yaris. If you were looking for a vehicle to build for...

The last time I ran the Dempster we took a 98 Jeep ZJ (4.0/auto) that we modified with an IRO 3.5" lift, 4.10 gears 31" tires, and true-tracks front-and-rear (with a real dana 44 in the back, not a dana 44A). Seems like we were getting 20-something MPG pulling the trailer, and we were very...

Summer will be here in a few months, and I'm still wanting to run the Dempster. Have been going back-and-forth as to what vehicle to take. I just put new tires on the Jeep (MT Baja Boss AT), so that's a plus in the Jeep's favor. However, gas is starting to climb back up to over $4.00/gallon...

Give us your mailing address (or PM me with your mailing address) and I'll see if I can't mail you a small assortment of cans of Spam.

This showed up in my facebook feed yesterday. I don't know if it has been posted on this thread or not. If it hasn't, enjoy. Link: Spam's History + 3 Great Recipes | The Art of Manliness Spam is obviously Manly.

Just bought five new tires for my TJ - Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT in an LT285/75/16 size. So far very happy and impressed with them. They are an aggressive AT tire with large side lugs, but also have the three-peak snowflake designation for snow. They also have three plies in the sidewalls...

I agree. We need something to look forward to this summer, and to have a mental happy place to go to till then. Half the fun of an overlanding trip (in my opinion) is the planning, anticipation, and of course using it as an excuse to upgrade or get new stuff. Nice. Is that a Honda CRV? I...

Oh I get it. I'm a nurse (aka "armyRN") with a long ICU background (was a CCRN for 21 years for those who know what that is). I've got my shots and the booster. There are some crazy ideas being put out there by the antivaxxers that folks are actually (and sadly) believing. Not to turn this...

Will do, but you'll probably hear it at the same time from the news. It just makes it hard to plan for the summer. Decisions, decisions... make a run up to Tuk and the Arctic Ocean this summer, or instead run the Colorado BDR? Damn Covid.

So I'm still wanting to make a run up to northern Canada this summer (possibly in the mighty Yaris). I just don't know what's going to happen with the new Covid variant and border crossings. I guess we'll just have to see. I was hoping to do the BC Overland Rally in June, but again - don't...

Oh... you beat me to it. Link: Hormel CEO on record Spam sales: 'Who is not eating Spam?' (yahoo.com)

I must be bored. I found this table with the same 24" x 36" top that folds. The legs adjust to different heights. Link: Adjustable Portable Aluminum Patio Folding Camping Table for Outdoor and Indoor - Costway And this folding Coleman table with a top size of 32" x 48" if you wanted...

Mine is made by Coleman. Opened the top measures 24" x 36". Folded, it fits nicely inside my trailer. I tried a quick google search to find one, but came up short. There's a company called "Redcamp" that sells one this size (and a couple other sizes) on Amazon. There's another one by the...
