    On/Off road tires recommendations

    The set that’s on my Tahoe is 265/75. They are quiet. Only time I ever hear them is when they scratch loose gravel from a stop. Can’t wait for the new ones.

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    Wait until this pandemic gets somewhat back to normal and the market is flooded with rv’s and side by sides. Sales on toy haulers last year was up by 400% from what I read. Now people are going to start having options besides being outdoors we will see a lot of off-road recreation toys coming up...

    On/Off road tires recommendations

    The road noise doesn’t seem to exist on my Tahoe. I can’t say I’ve ever heard them. They handle awesome. Just seem to grip the road and go.

    Hatchet or machete?

    I have broke a Fiskars splitting maul. Knotted up juniper round. I took the biggest heaviest swing I could manage. I missed. Handle hit the block and broke. Definitely not the axes fault. Went in and ordered another. By far my favorite axe. When I called fiskars all they wanted was an emailed...

    Trip to the Nevada Desert for 4 days with my wife. Things I should consider?

    If I may make a suggestion... not sure how far north of Lovelock you are going, but look up Virgin Valley campground. If you are anywhere near it consider going. 85 degree swimming hole with a shower house. My wife loves it there. Something about getting to travel home showered and clean seems...

    Re-name The Jeep Cherokee And Grand Cherokee....

    It all started either Redskins and now the Cleveland Indians and jeep. These giant corporations are missing an opportunity to turn the use of these names into a positive. Start a Native American scholarship fund. Start a grant program for community improvements. Don’t ignore the culture. Show it...

    Trip to the Nevada Desert for 4 days with my wife. Things I should consider?

    Bring Heat. Nevada desert can get really cold at night. When I think eastern Nevada I think about Jarbidge down to about Ely maybe Pioche areas. Jarbidge down to I-80 could still have a lot of snow or mud. Ely in my opinion is the coldest area in Nevada. Keep her warm and comfortable. Late April...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    From a bronco fanatic, 66-96 anyway, the jeep will be fine. Jeep is going after what it’s consumers want now. The gladiator, the diesel and v8 options will keep jeep on top. There is no other name brand that has stronger aftermarket support then jeep. Tacoma may have a huge aftermarket but it’s...

    The Beginning is the End is the Beginning (The continuing journey of the “Adventure Machine”)

    I had an 88 with the 300 straight 6 and a 5 speed. Stock height with the original tread pattern Goodyear mt-r’s. 32x11.50s fit perfect. That thing went anywhere I ever wanted it to and some places I didn’t want. 1 of only 2 vehicles I’ve ever had that I regret not owning still. Keep plugging...

    Show me a Road Sign.....really any sign...

    Watched a Ford Mustang pretty much burn to the ground on that hill. When I got the driver to pull over the brakes were on fire. She had no clue what downshift meant. Imagine I scared her to death frantically waving, screaming at her to pull over. She shook her head no at me 5 or 6 times before...

    Show me a Road Sign.....really any sign...

    Stole this straight from google image search as a response to the wife when she text me wanting to know where I was. Best road sign picture I have. Sometimes I’m surprised she hasn’t killed me in my sleep.

    The most spectacular picture you've ever taken...

    I know this is an older post. I just read this entire thread clear through. The significance of this is mind blowing. Truly epic.

    Trying to select the correct vehicle for first overland build

    I love the Tahoe/ Yukon. I’ve used mine for several camping hunting and fishing trips. Bone stock it does everything I’ve ever wanted. It is probably the best rig I have ever owned for driving in the snow. It rides awesome and one of the most comfortable vehicles I have ever been in. The only...

    Trying to select the correct vehicle for first overland build

    You just need to get your list built and go test drive them. Smaller trucks really aren’t much smaller anymore. New tacoma is 212 inches long and 75 wide. New ram 2500 short box 4 door is 232 x 80. Power and payload isn’t comparable. The Tacoma or Gladiator does ride good and have a bit more...
