I'm sad to see my concerns about share trails organization is confirmed by Navy Jeeps attitude toward conservationists. I hoped we would all count ourselves among their number. After all, wilderness is the one thing we'll never get back... I am uncomfortable with this new partnership. I'm not...

I'm sorry, I've really only just started digging into this particular group, but the blurry use of the word recreation keeps leaving me uneasy. I'm a farmer. I'm a hiker. I've been a road tripping camper my whole life. These are all recreation that can and does use public land. But not all...

I'm just going to chime in about local 4 wheeler clubs. I've looked into several. My experience suggests that many, if not most, are Jeep exclusive, or uber macho. I'm not a car guy by nature. I'm not a gun guy. I'm not a hunter. I'm a hippie farmer from Kansas who was raised by his mom. I like...

Elsie the LC got some new shoes! They're not BFGs but they'll do. Sent from my LG-H932 using OB Talk mobile app

I just think we need a healthy dose of Wheaton's Law. That is just don't be a d+$k.

My new to me 80 is leaking a little worse than advertised, I'm starting to hunt it down. Sent from my LG-H932 using OB Talk mobile app

I just tripped and bought a 95 fzj 80. All stock. Now I really need to get rid of my 4runner. Sent from my LG-H932 using OB Talk mobile app

Babies eat up the day. And trying to buy a house eats up the money right now. My truck is in need of time and money right now. :)

1995 3.slow 5 speed here. Pretty stock I think. I'm in the process of stuffing all of my money in a hole so I can buy a house. Then come the few upgrades I have my eye one. She's got 240k+ on the original engine.

Anyone familiar with the comedian Jim Jefferies will understand; I named my three-point-slow 4runner "Gunta" because of his comedy routine. "Up Gunta, up!" Apparently a name shared by a large nanny and a lazy elephant. This just got blurted out on my way up to Johnson Ridge Observatory at Mt...

Just too my new to me 4runner on a quick overnight to Gifford Pinchot. Fairly pleased with how she runs. Have some suspension work ahead of me.

I installed a latch tether point for my toddlers seat.

What is hiking? What is camping? What difference do these details make? Go get some dirt in your tires (of any kind) and figure out if you actually care.

Yeah, so.... As I've been delayed in gathering up the money and tools to finally tackle this thing (everything happens slow with 2 kids in diapers, yeah?) I've had the time to reflect and shop and drive other rigs, take a few camping trips with the two babies, and we've come to conclude that...

LOL So i took everything here, decided I'd do some Google Research. Discovered my truck probably has cancer and an std. Besides that I think you're right. This doesn't look too bad for a total newbie. I'm gonna go for it. Step one. Find a suitable engine. I am ruling out a rebuild of this one...

Yeah I was kind of thinking it could be handy for getting unstuck and what not. I've always driven these zippy little sedans, aside from a forced stint with an old Ford that just shouldn't have been able to go anywhere and yet it did. So I'm learning a lot. This old Sub is like a broken in pair...

LOL, RIght! Thanks Vincent. I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah, you know, stuff happens. I try to be dispassionate about it. I do not tow. Mostly because I don't have anything to tow. We might at some point get a little popup or something. But I think if I wanted to do any real towing I'd feel more comfortable with a more purpose built truck. Kids are...

This is kind of a long story, sorry. We have only been in the Pacific Northwest for a few years. Among the many drawbacks of moving to a part of the country where you don't know anyone is trying to find a mechanic. And we did after reading reviews and asking around, we settled on a shop. He...

Yes, 350 tbi. I'm not particularly mechanically adept. I'm trying to teach myself these things, but I worry digging into an engine swap is above my *very* basic skill set. That said I've had one shop refuse to touch it because they fear that this sort of beast will just keep nickel and diming...
