I swapped in the IPF lens and used regular Sylvania bulbs. The difference was immediately noticeable. The stock lens was horrible in comparison. An improvement over stock lighting is money well spent.

Yes, to all of the above. Get the kids outdoors early. It will just become a regular part of what you do. It will teach them independence and responsibility. The dirt is free, which is a good thing considering how much of it they will wear! We have three boys, age 11 and under. Our boys...

Cool shot!

Here are a few of mine, in some of the different vehicles I've had off-road.

Really nice job on the Taco! Love that it gets out and gets used for what it's been built for. Good stuff. Keep sharing the adventures, too.

I stuck an old Land Rover emblem on with thin sheet magnet material. It didn't move. I used 3M tape to stick the emblem to the magnet, then stuck the magnet to the vehicle. It stuck out a wee bit further than normal, but it was easy to remove when I sold the truck.

For my dream rig I'd be looking at a 70 Series Land Cruiser or a Land Rover Defender 110. I love the character of the D110, love the reliability of the LC. (Truthfully, I'll probably end up with a Land Cruiser 100 in the end...)

You're doing the trip and seeing sights for your own benefit. If you share them with us, that's our benefit. Don't worry about the points; I don't think the prize is worth it. The memories, however... totally worth it.:grinning:

'Tis just a little splash of water. And yes, thankfully the intake was on the high side of the vehicle.

Nice looking rig you have there. One question - is the 4.88 gear set going to be enough if you plan on pulling a little trailer with 37" tires?

Stay away from CPF if you can - it will seriously change the way you look at flashlights! :grinning:

And that's the trade-off, right... Great glass costs a fortune, and for an amateur / not paid picture-taker like me it's a game that's too expensive to really get into. Inferior lenses are really that, and if you know there's better out there you feel it even more. It's a sickness, to be...

Steep rock wall on the exit, long soupy mud on the entrance so I couldn't back up. Buddy in a Discovery pulled me out...

Looks like @Fieldnstreamer used the Ranger in the background to slow down! Nice Tundra. I enjoy those chance encounters with like-minded people.

I've come to the point where it's time for a new battery in the Jeep. Just wondering what brand / type most of you are using as a primary battery? It's been a few years since I last purchased one. Thanks

You are now somebody's hero! Great interaction!

Excellent!

Chris, @cjones, had a great reply. I'd only add that you take your camera out and spend quality time with it. That means taking lots of pictures! Learn the 3 things - apperture, shutter speed and ISO. Adjust one of those at a time to learn what it does and how it affects the photographs...

Now, I'm definitely not a professional so please consider this with that in mind... I'm a big fan of carrying as little camera gear as possible to get the job done when I'm out and about. I have a 70-300, a 50mm, and an 18-125 - but if I can do it all (or most of it, at least) with one lens...

How much did that selfie cost you?? :frowning:
