    Vancouver Island Trip

    When are you thinking about your trip? I'm planning a trip for Team Hunt through BC the month of July. They will be on VI towards the end of their trip in late July. Thanks for the local tips @J Tosh Reed and @lvivier! I hope you get a chance to meet up with Mike, Ellen and their son Hunt :)

    Do You Practice TREAD Lightly! Principles?

    Nice! I have a friend who is a master tread trainer, and we are trying to get a master class going this summer so I can step up my certification.

    Synthetic winch line and end link.

    Ah, yes, de-burring should be done if there are nicks on the drum as well as rust removal. You don't want the drum rusting so it should be painted with something. Here's my reasoning for using high temp paint on the drum. When using steel cable, you should leave at least 5 wraps around the...

    Synthetic winch line and end link.

    Don't polish the drum if you're switching to synthetic line. The synthetic fibers have less friction than a steel cable, so you actually want increased grip. I would suggest using a high temp spray paint for a grill. It has a some texture to it, but it's not as coarse as something like truck bed...

    Overland Kelowna area?

    If you hear of any good trails, or find them yourself, please let me know. Gpx files would be great! I'm planning another Team Hunt Adventure, and this year it's going through BC.

    Front differential question?

    As @Cort said, you'll really have to just remove the diff cover and inspect the R&P and side gears. If that is the problem, it's probably cheaper, and faster to just drop in a used unit that is already setup.

    Hi-Lift: How many people NOT running them?

    The X-Jack is a good bit of kit, but you'll need to see how much it will be able to lift your vehicle when fully inflated. Big lift, big tires, and long suspension travel are what can limit its effectiveness. But, if you travel a lot in sand, or any terrain that is fairly easy to move around...

    Electric Winch vs Hi-Lift Winching Kit?

    Yeah the 12" on the HiLift was referring to lifting, not winching. Most winch manufacturers just slap on the cheapest cable they can, that will still technically do the job. And these days they probably expect a good portion of the buyers to replace it with synthetic anyways. Still, anyone...

    Electric Winch vs Hi-Lift Winching Kit?

    That looks like a fun test you performed! I'd always opt for the electric winch over the Hi-Lift unless it's to do a reverse out winching operation. Some of your numbers for the Hi-Lift are a little off. When lifting/lowering a load, the jack's WLL is 4,660 lbs. If you have a 60", the last 12"...

    Tire rubbing fixes?

    You should check for rubbing throughout the wheel travel (up and down) while turning the steering wheel as well. You can try covering the inside of the tire well with something like blue painters tape and drive to see where the rub marks are. How much clearance do you need to make? You can trim...

    Hand Cleaner that every Overlander needs!

    I'm with @Scout on the Fast Orange. I keep a small squeeze bottle of it in my fluids case so cleanup is fast and easy. I'm always looking to try a new cleaning product. BTW @Chris Radalia, I grew up in Canal Fulton and N. Canton, OH. :)

    State Parks/county deal could end recreation at Oceano (Pismo)SVRA

    Hey everyone. As you may know, Pismo is one of the most popular places in California to drive in the sand dunes. It's always been under threat of closure, or having the recreational area we love to use reduced in size. This is your chance to take action and help keep this area open for everyone...
