Hey Bouncer, serrations on shovels and such chip really easy, just take a bastard file and put an edge on that shovel, you’ll love it.
If you use a tool like a grinder it will heat the shovel enough to lose temper and get soft so it will roll the edge. If you want to cut teeth do it with a...
The shovel is forged steel, much thicker than box store and sharpened. The angle of the shovel is optimized for all day use. The wood in the handle is far superior found with ash or hickory. The shape is great. Your write up on the crazy beaver was spot on, I guess my biggest complaint is...
Nice LJ!!!! Mine started out just like yours but auto. I accidently sold mine when someone asked to buy it and I spit out what I thought was a high price. I miss my baby!
Great choice on the gas tank. Check out JCR Offroad, they make awesome stuff and the important part is great service...
It’s snow raining and nasty so I didn’t take any cool guy pics. Coilovers and rear shocks installed. I need to get a front end alignment now. Mounted the compressor, manifold, and lines for the onboard air for the bags as well as the daystar bag cups which where a pain but I can tell they will...

You’ll likely get a lot of opinions on this.
I’ll start off with the easy one. Yes, you have to have the same gear ratio front and rear. In my experience, a large number of off roaders are undergeared because it’s not a sexy investment. If you are putting on tires larger than stock, you...
Chris, I’d love a sample. Not only for my overlanding but also my disaster response. I go through this stuff like crazy and I’m always looking for a better solution.
The Fox 2.0 coilovers arrived and set to 2” of lift along with the 2.0 shocks for the rear. Daystar airbag cups are going in also.
Stock suspension measurements are(from level concrete to top center of wheel well lip:
DF: 36.75”
PF: 36.5”
DR: 39.25”
PR: 39.25”

I’ve been working and camping so I haven’t done much with the truck over the winter.
Yesterday I upgraded my cock[it with the new Built Right dash mount. I was previously using a RAM two ball hard mount. This set up allows me to mount my HAM, cell, gps, GoPro, dash cam, and more. I am very...
This is what I use:

Not as fast as a winch but the thing is a beast and I...
I’ve owned one for a little over a year and while it’s very well made I prefer my Forest Service shovel by Council Tool. There has been some serious design study put into this shovel...
Boil water and put in a Nalgene bottle, some times two bottles and put in a cooler with everything you don’t want to freeze overnight. Always store liquids upside down(liquids freeze up top first). This allows you to pour if it’s partially frozen.
Electronics need to stay up against your...
I’ve owned both a leer and an ARE. They were both excellent. The only difference was the ARE plastic faded faster. I’d be happy with either in the future.
