    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    You guys arguing window stickers are completely ignoring the fact that NOBODY short of an idiot is paying anywhere close to sticker for a Jeep. Any Jeep with any accessory package. Will the Broncos be discounted? Not bloody likely eh mate. Not until the initial frenzy is over they won't...

    almost undefeatable fire stater

    @PapaPaul here you go. Pitch pine, fatwood, conifer consisting almost entirely of sap, you can see that the pitch was just smearing when I cut this. Lob Lolly Pine has massive amounts of sap in it and is VERY heavy, this piece is just from a relatively small limb I cut.

    looking for roof rack ( platform) material suggestions

    I'm just going to say that roof baskets are so damn cheap that I don't think I'd put the effort in. Considering that they are aluminum they will be lighter than virtually anything you can build out of steel. I'm very much a DIY guy, but there is a point of diminishing returns.

    proper cargo tie down on roof rack

    Nothing wrong with that, and your tent will shift less easily than a kayak simply because there will be some droop around the cross member. Two of those on the tent and it won't be going anywhere.

    proper cargo tie down on roof rack

    Basic rule of load securement : If a lot is good, too much is just enough. You can definitely taco a roof rack with minimum effort and a ratchet strap. Then again, you can also exhibit a minimum level of awareness and quit cranking on it before that happens. I like ratchet straps but...

    "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" Attribution of that quote is highly contested, regardless it is the most contextually accurate statement that can be made when referencing the world today. I remember when speaking the truth was a respected...

    Are U.S.A and Canada really the mecca of the overland?

    Not having to concern yourself with local Warlords (outside of major metropolitan areas) adds a degree of attraction for me.

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    One reason is that in a tech dependent world FCA mounted the microphone for the Bluetooth immediately behind the noisiest place in a noisy vehicle. Meaning that if you plan to use your phone going down the road be prepared to hear "WHAAAT?, what is that noise?" FCA failed miserably there and has...

    Hatchet or machete?

    Have you actually broken one of the Fiskars or is this a perceived weakness. My experience with them is that they are far more durable than a conventional wooden handle, with the benefit of being inexpensive. If you want USA made, Council tool should meet your needs in the axe/hatchet...

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

    Logic would then dictate that the Grand Cherokee would have to be the "Big Whitey Privilege Edition", the possibilities are virtually unlimited. Imagine this : Chromed up nicely as a hood ornament. Or the androgynous voice of a 16 year old with fetal alcohol syndrome scolding you about your...

    Some good points. Texas SHOULD be able to sue Texas Roadhouse however for disparaging the great name of the State by selling that hot garbage that they do.

    Trying to select the correct vehicle for first overland build

    If you have time, you can order exactly the truck you want and it will be cheaper than buying one off of the lot. I downsized from a crew cab dually to a 2500 crew cab with a 6.4' bed. The difference in driving the 2500 and the Gladiator are negligible, I don't however live in the midst of the...

    I guarantee they could get over it for enough money. "Wokism" will only widen the divide and create more friction. If they renamed it the "Big Whitey X1“ the same people would still be looking for a payday for" historical abuse ". Do not kneel before the altar of political correctness...
