    My own private overland recreation area build.

    I also set up a trail cam before we left yesterday. There's an insane amount of tracks and scat.

    My own private overland recreation area build.

    LOL! Yeah, we weren't sure if the local coyotes were friendly or not. (that's just a camo pocket vest with pockets too small for him to actually carry any of MY stuff)

    My own private overland recreation area build.

    My Infrastructure Development Board is considering a few conveniences that may or may not be added. Wells and cisterns are possible. It's 38 acres which puts me in a favorable zoning situation should I decide to have a well dug. I'd like to keep it pretty low key though.

    My own private overland recreation area build.

    Most people buy Corvettes or plastic surgery for their midlife crisis. I bought some land. Raw, undeveloped, kind-of-far-away scrubland somewhere south of Wyoming. Can I do a build thread on making my own little area for "overland related activities?" There's no camping without a proper fire...

    Manual Sway Bar Disconnect

    When I had my TJ I made my own out of big stainless clevises, a couple washers, and cotter pins. Just replaced the bolt with it. Wasn't grade 8 but I ran it for 2 years with no issues at all... That was a long time ago. YMMV

    Truck Builds on Youtube.....Became....

    It was the same with TJs in the early 2000s. I like unique builds... the kind of stuff you see here. Y'all are rad!

    3rd Gen Tacoma Onboard Air

    Cool man! I've been driving a 3rd gen for a while. Lease, though and turning it in. But I've been thinking about OBA for my Suburban. Nice writeup!

    How To: GMRS - ZA FCC LICENSE

    Me too! Me too! Got my call sign / license last week, and Midland MXT275 with a pair of XTalks as well. WRNF641. Doing my lockdown part, so I've only played with the radios in the neighborhood with my kids.

    New Midland MXT275 (GMRS Mobile)

    New Midland MXT275 (GMRS Mobile)

    Yeah. I'm hoping to use it mostly for keeping in touch with basecamp while we're in the backcountry (if we ever get to go back). And travel. Sounds like it's not very strict. I've been considering a HAM license, too but stalled out trying to figure out the test/class.

    New Midland MXT275 (GMRS Mobile)

    I just ordered the MXT275 and a couple X Talk handhelds. Also just paid for my license and got a call sign. Any tips for a noob? is it basically a more powerful CB?

    99 Suburban as All Around Fun Mobile

    This weekend I wired up dual batteries in the Suburban. I went with the wicked simple, hopefully effective Expedition Portal $50 dual battery idea. Definitely is NOT $50 anymore. But what the hey. It's a simple setup, and pretty easy to fit into the 'Burb. I used the Cole Hersee solenoid to...

    This thing is beautiful. The WJ is one of the all time best 4x4s ever made. Great build.

    Craigslist cheap Discos

    I keep looking at this D1 because the pics make it look SOOO clean. It's been listed for a while now. Price is high IMHO, but it's intriguing from the "1 owner, lots of maintenance" perspective. 1995 Disco 1 220k miles

    Odd Ball rigs. Who else has an outside of the norm rig?

    Hell yes to that Chief! And WJs are the best Grand Cherokee of all. And highly underrated trail rigs... Every bit as good, if not better, than any Jeep of the last 15 years. But let's keep that between us so they don't get into XJ levels of used pricing. :D

    99 Suburban as All Around Fun Mobile

    Here's a little camp spot we snagged on Buffalo Pass last weekend. We had a few visitors including a huge, beautiful red fox, a couple people in a Discovery stopping to share a beer and a sunset view, and then a couple in a Wrangler who needed a spot to crash. It was crowded this weekend so we...
