Love the hotdog heating feature! My 400p has the same feature. I burned my hand the first few times I used it. Now my wife reminds me every time I use it. All newbies to Viair compressors: use the handle only. DO NOT TOUCH THE METAL!

Winches on both ends would be ideal. But there is a way with just one winch and 3 snatch blocks and anchors to pull yourself backwards with a front winch. I have seen videos on it, and studied the technique, but have never done it myself. It is VERY slow, but it works. As for is a winch needed...
My wife and I started doing the same thing. I retired last August and have been fulltime travelling ever since. Congratulations.

I have owned over 80+ vehicles over the years. I think every vehicle out there has something positive about it. Even a Yugo, it has a hood scoop![emoji41]

I have seen Smittybilt boards break with easy use. I would recommend going with a better name brand if it is something that is possibly a life or death piece of equipment. As in you are alone in the middle of nowhere and your traction boards are your only way out.

I have these, and love them. Yes they are more expensive, but I need to be able to bridge gaps and ramp large obstacles. None of the plastic ones work for my 8000lb truck. But everyone needs to evaluate their own...
Last one. I wanted to show to those that don't know how straight axle rigs work. This is at the overland rally in Washington on the obstacle course Land Rover set up. For those that don't know, a Ram power wagon is NOT a regular heavy duty truck. I have a button on my dash to unhook my swaybar...
This is Afton canyon in November. The water came 6 inches up my doors on my power wagon. I have 34 inch tires with no lift.

The fullsize jeep is an extremely capable platform. It is narrower than other fullsize rigs, and it has good running gear. Aftermarket support is limited, but a stock one will do amazing things. I had a 77 wagoneer with a 401ci motor and a low range quadratrac. If yours still is an AMC Jeep and...
Thanks. It took us 2 years of planning to get this set the way we like. USMC infantry 4 years, Army infantry 16+. I was a platoon sgt in a Stryker unit, so I am real particular on my vehicles.
