    Beach Driving and Corrosion

    I have seen much conversation of people treating under carriage with Fluid Film to abate rust. I can testify that Fluid Film is good stuff and use it frequently on tools and such. I could however see where applying Fluid Filmaand tthen ddriving iin ssand would form a grinding compound on...

    Combining Hobbies! Overlanding and Eating!

    This interests me, if you can when it is convenient, expound on this process some as it applies here. I am modestly familiar with what's taking place but will expect that this is a heavily nuanced style.

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Interesting, I had to look that one up. I'll have to do more research or if you have already sorted the chaff send me a link please

    Hyperbole has become the exchange currency in this thread, so I'm going to quit doing business in it. @Steve_ohhhhh the answer you seek is no.

    Did you hear? The NPS permit fees for filming ruled unconstitutional

    The issue is in how they define "commercial", which should be defined by the number of participants and the impact of those participants. Large scale movie productions should be banned entirely. Individuals? Yeah those are individuals no matter what they do with the video. I'm a little...

    Electric Winch. Are they necessary for overlanding/touring?

    I'm using a Smittybilt X20 12k with synthetic rope, it's a little over 60 pounds, and the winch plate is another 30, so less than half of your hyperbolic estimation, and I have $650 in the winch and plate, all in the factory bumper. There is no need in exaggerating to make your point, I'm not...

    Electric Winch. Are they necessary for overlanding/touring?

    LOL, "hate" is such a strong word. I don't hate the inclusivity , but people are tribal and have a tendency to look for others like themselves. When not found, they attempt to make converts and IRL ultimately take prisoners. I do get tired of the second and third stages of that, if other...

    Electric Winch. Are they necessary for overlanding/touring?

    Claiming fear of mechanical failure or required maintenance on a winch as a valid reason not to own a winch, which is mounted on something that requires routine maintenance to be reliable is disingenuous at best. Mechanical items require some minimum level of maintenance. I've got 100' of rope...

    Electric Winch. Are they necessary for overlanding/touring?

    The base capability of the vehicle will also drive the likelihood of a more complicated recovery. Lots of smallervvehicles are more capable than people believe, but vehicles with greater offroad capability are going to be farther off of the pavement and farther from help in the event they do...
