    Thinking About Renting Out My Overland Trailer.

    I see...an INSURANCE claim in your future. Some inexperienced jackweed will rent it, fall down the ladder and smack his melon in the middle of the night and sue. Maybe not the first time, but... It's like adding a plow to your pickup. If you are making money with a registered vehicle or...

    Any Overlanding areas near Billings, MT?

    Stella's Kitchen and Bakery, when on grid. Excellent breakfast and service. I had a nice visit out last year. My nephew is in Gallatin Gateway and the area is stunningly, stark gorgeous. I dont have any info on Overlanding areas but seems like there would be a lot

    Re-fueling from your Gerry can

    Practiced filling a non-jerry can, new Midwest Can company model 5610, 5 gallon plastic gas can. Fueling the truck with it a couple weeks ago, the stupid safety nozzle made it so difficult. The pressure from the lip of the truck filler neck is supposed to push back on some sliding safety valve...

    Experience with air ambulance after travel injury?

    Sir, I have indeed been on an air ambulance flight. It is not to be taken lightly, and also not to be used simply as a means of comfort - no offense. One's medical condition must be stable enough to fly but usually said condition is serious to grave. Often the necessary medical care is only...

    Windows PC Navigation

    That sounda That sounds par for the course for an advertised Windows feature. I'm a Systems Admin. Just trying to get that stupid Dell Thunderbolt dock to stay connected without near monthly OS and BIOS updates is some work. Nevermind the physical loosening of USB-C / Thunderbolt ports in the...

    Yellowstone area camping

    Ah! We were in Acadia last week, ahead of the rush of the start of the season. We also have no plans this weekend and of course it is proving to be near impossible to find anything. Sorry I cant help. Just commiserating

    It's Time To Leave

    To expand on 9Mike2's sentiment: May the road rise to meet you and the wind be at your back. We dont know what life will send our way so be nice and enjoy what you can, while you can, with who you want to be with. Maybe we will see you out there, though we are only on the road any real...

    Forum won't allow 2 characters in "First Name" field...

    Just casual interest, but what of a Chinese person named Ng? I am not such a person, nor am I attempting to make light, but what would that person do? Or Li. Hu. Xe.

    Buying an overlanding rig in the NE (rust)

    If you want a solid 2006, simply do not buy in New England. Georgia cN also be a bit humid but they do not get the snow, ice and road salt. I'd prefer to go further inland, to prevent sea salt air issues. Try a Texas, vehicle, just watch for signs of flood. Arizona, Nevada, these are good, dry...

    Lifting a 4x4 Jeep WJ

    About 3 or 4 years ago I added a 2 inch lift on mine. As I understand it, 3" and up is sort of the rule of thumb with these. At that point you are looking at longer or adjustable UCA's and longer pitman arm. Mine was Iron Rock offroad springs that gave the 2 more inches. I added the spring...

    2004 Nissan Xterra - Back from the dead.

    We are house-hunting. I bring my truck to every house rather than her car. I back up to the garage and if I cant get in, there needs to be some other very compelling feature in that house or I'm not so interested

    First time visiting MOAB - Help!

    During our drive through Badlands, Gallatin Gateway, Big Sky and Yellowstone, we were constantly pointing and saying "wow, get a picture of THAT!" while we were driving. And only even got a picture half the time we wanted. And only some of those gave justice to the subject. Even when we were...
