Central TX is limited to county roads too small to pave and private property. HF is fun if you want to burn some gas crawling around. I don't care to beat up my DD so I don't go that often. I prefer the coast because I can camp out and grill some fresh seafood on the beach.

Side of a roof basket or hitch basket. I'll tell ya it comes in handy when the vehicle rolls off the assembly line with a shot glass for a fuel tank. On the last fishing trip with my buddy that has the renegade, an extra 5 gallons came in handy for the 500 mile each way drive. We carried it on a...

While y'all are buying up houses in Texas, save a cheaper one for me. They are still a little high for someone early in their career. Lol

Typically the little county roads will just have cattle guards at the property lines. If you have to open a gate you are probably some place you aren't supposed to be

Mobile 1 in the jeep and castrol in small engines.

An electric fan was a potential modification further down the line but when I saw them on 80% off at a radio shack, I figured I might as well build it in. I don't have to run it on a battery. Screen on the front side Fan on the back side, plugged in and installed in the back window

Just stumbled across a Coleman 413G camp stove that was almost new for $20 at Goodwill Fired right up with regular pump gas

Also, on the jeep patriot the rear windows are square so it makes fitment an easy 18.25" by as tall as you want it. Being a soft plastic it is easy to shape with a sharp knife.

I don't know what the proper name is but you can find it all over the place for garage sale and realty signs, super cheap. This is the lower end of the board where it wraps around the glass.

I'm making one out of plastic board. Perfect fit, now I just need to decide on how big I want the vents and if I'll put a battery powered computer fan. I'll be using window screen to keep the bugs out.

Cargo capacity isn't an issue when you can build a trailer and the atv/utility winch helps when there isn't enough power for both vehicle and trailer.

End of may should work for me

Well, this trip was a shorter weekend trip than usual. I got up early Friday to hit the road around 4:30 and arrived at the town of Matagorda around 9. The first priority was to fill the bait cooler which I was able to do surprisingly easy. In less than 30 minutes I was able to fill a small...

Bingo! Lol That is factually true, I think the TX legislature is talking about a bill that any wine sold as "Texas wine" must have a minimum percentage of Texas wine in it, since people in Texas have a preference for Texas wine. But I do seek out the knock offs when vendors are obviously over...

I've got a single bottle top burner and a small propane camp grill. If I take my trailer, I built an expanded metal stove top on the trailer gate that the single burner drops into. When the fishing gear is unpacked the back of the trailer becomes an outdoor kitchen. To save the disposable...

Yep! LOL But from what I've seen, the Texas made Toyota trucks are solid. If you are in San Antonio, that is a fun tour...at least for me, I find industrial machinery interesting. Most of it is automated with crews on standby when things need to be tweaked.

Keep in mind that the bulk of a garment can be made in Bangladesh but if it is assembled for market in Italy, the country of origin will be Italy. The world is pretty well globalized so at this point I just look for brands that have good quality and do not have a new style coming out every two...

My next trip will be to Matagorda from Friday (4/28) to leaving early Sunday (4/30). I won't be driving around much if I can find a good camp/fishing spot early on.

I've got an old nashiki bike that lives in my trailer. Changed it over to a single speed rear drum break so I wouldn't have to deal with cables rusting up.

Seems to me that the race jugs don't use as good of plastic as standard gas cans. Every one of my race jugs got cracks and leaks in them before my regular fuel containers even started to fade. I just started modifying the CARB nozzles so that they didn't lock and installed a separate breather...
