DUDE! That is a WICKED good deal. I am going to have to start hitting my local Goodwill stores again looking for gear.

That is good to know. I will look into that.

I went through my kitchen and started gathering old kitchen stuff to build my camp kitchen. That helped to save a lot of money on gear. The sleeping arrangements are that we use the Jeep so we gathered old bedding to use when camping so we did not have to buy much there either. Some of our...

So I am familiar with some of the older products on the market for caster correction on lifted vehicles. I worked with a few of them years ago when they were relatively new. I saw where OME had some offset "shims" for Jeep JK's that allowed for a 1/2" of movement for the lower link arms to allow...

Y'all are giving me some great ideas for my current setup. I am sure I can make it better now.

Nice rack!! (on the Jeep) I wish I still worked in a shop so I could build my own parts but I don't have the access to the tools anymore and buying them just to build my Jeep would be more expensive than buying stuff already built. Much respect for building your own parts.

K Trail in Oklahoma Thanksgiving 2016. I'm pretty sure she thought something was wrong. "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." -Nietzsche

Welcome! Colorado is one of my favorite places. My boys and I try to go to the Pikes Peak Area each year for a long weekend.

I'll have to check that out. My laptop is touchscreen so it may be pretty easy. "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." -Nietzsche

In my rig until it gets too hot then I will switch to a tent.

I have an old army rucksack that I hang off my tire spare tire. I just ratchet strap around the tire and make sure to catch the shoulder straps of the ruck sack. It works like a charm. I have done this quite a bit before I saw any other system. I think you can pick one up fairly cheap online now.

I don't have any pics of her but I had a 1994 Chevy K2500 short bed 4WD diesel that I climbed some mountains in AZ in and had a blast doing it. Even further back than that was a 1977(??) Datsun 4WD that my dad owned. We would climb over mountains on weekend trips in Hawaii and always had a blast.

Installed a set of lightly used M/T's to see if I like them. It's great that they came with the wheels. Too good a deal to pass up. I also replaced my badly bent and blown out steering stabilizer. "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." -Nietzsche

I certainly will. Now that I have used Michael's tutorial on using Google Earth to create routes I am going to have to play with a few. I will share what I learn.

It was a curiosity. I am glad that some do take the time to go out and test their rigs. I just got a set of mud terrains that I am going to try out both on road and off to see how they handle and how I like them.

Thanks for that. I really want I get off the beaten path but it's challenging. I'll have to post some scenic backroad drives soon. "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." -Nietzsche

I love that you built your own. There is a sense of pride involved in a DIY project. I love the kitchen setup. How much was the total build not including the accessories like the fridge, stove, etc.

Brilliant sir. I really wish I could rig up something like this but we are determined to sleep in the Jeep for the time being. I think at some point we will be building one and accepting the tent life.

Plastic may work. You could try buying some this sheets of gasket material like this from Amazon if you have a way to punch the holes using a hole punch tool.
