    Traction board roof rack mounts - On the Cheap!

    Was not super excited to spend $40-60 on a single set of Maxtrax or equivalent traction board mounts, so I went to my local Home Depot and CramAzon and gathered the ingredients to do these on the cheap. Total cost is roughly < $20 for 2 mounts. My mats when stacked are exactly 3 3/4" at the...

    Got the email for the "Founding Members" for a particular group

    I wont say who, but the "Founding Members" group of the first 1000 members are being offered a monthly subscription ranging from $15 to $70 PER MONTH for their membership. After the Founders levels are gone, entry level pricing will INCREASE from there! Some of the most made up, ridiculous...

    What coffee do you drink at home vs off grid?

    There is an excellent educational thread on what type of coffee maker do you use and it's all over the place. Presses, pour overs, perks, aeropress, electric pot and others. For me, it's the type of coffee that makes or breaks a good morning for me. We buy different coffee depending on the...

    Anyone do a NM Black Range (formerly NM Backroads) trip?

    I have a trip planned to CO at the end of August but if it is cancelled or whatever due to our current issues, I will wait and do this trip in October instead. Anyone do one of Jake Quiñones trips over the past few years? Seems like a great experience for newB's and veterans alike...

    JK/JKU Rotopax tailgate hinge mount

    In short, I decided to move fuel and water storage from my roof rack and found this mount from Rotopax that fits any size FuelPax or RotoPax they make from 1 - 4.5g. Considering the price point for all of the RotoPax kit, I expected something nicely engineered. This is nicely made but someone...

    NPS Closures - Yosemite and Rocky Mountain NP are closed

    Small communities funded by tourism and surrounded by NATIONAL PARKS funded by TAXPAYERS arbitrarily closed their gates. This has gotten out of hand. https://gearjunkie.com/national-parks-closed-coronavirus-covid-19?utm_medium=napi&utm_source=gearjunkie

    Odd tire, great potential - Kenda Klever KR 601 315/10.5/17 R/T

    Anyone else running these? I've read some pretty terrific reviews on this tire that looks very M/T but is in fact an R/Tl and rated as an 8-ply D load. They do have a 10-ply E but tough er to find. A bit rounder profile and at 10.5 should keep most of the tire under OEM fenders on JK/JL/JT...

    2017 Winter Edition JKU prep for TX - AK

    To keep it short, we had a 2016 Oscar Mike Edition JKU that was hit by a red light runner and totaled her out. Son driving it walked away without a scratch after being hit at 55mph. So we chose another with a few more OEM bells and whistles. In short, here is everything we added to a OEM modded...
