    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Ozark Trail 8 person Yurt. I wouldn't trust it in high winds. It has no accomodation for a wood stove, but a stove jack can be added by someone who is handy. I plan on reapplying DWR and adding additional seam sealer to make it a solid 3 season tent...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    It took me 20 minutes to set it up by myself the first time. I had no instructions and had to undo several random knots the previous owner tied in the guylines. There is absolutely no way it is all getting packed in to the original bag. I am trying to find a plastic container it will fit in so...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    I left it set up for a couple days with plenty of rain and the inside was dry as a bone with no drips from any of the seams. Not bad.

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    The issue I am having is payload capacity. Granted it is stock, 23 year old suspension. I also haven't been very nice by hanging a 250+ lb dirtbike off the back with a hitch carrier. The shocks ride like they are filled with water and the sag is something fierce with any weight. I bet with OEM...

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    I have never seen anything built by Rough Country on any race course, anywhere.

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    I'm not saying lifted vehicles can't be reliable, but most lift comoanies don't spend anywhere near the money on R&D as auto mfgs do.

    Steel winch cable vs synthetic rope

    My buddy is the captain of a 127 foot Bearing Sea crab boat. He uses absolutely nothing but Samson Rope products. After working with him for a while I will never use cable again. Just don't be stupid with it and it won't fail.

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Impulse buy from Facebook. I know Ozark Trail isn't the best but hard to pass up the $40 asking price. And it has a ton of room.

    What is your EDC Flashlight?

    I carry mine every single work day in my breast pocket, and when off work in my left front pocket. By far my favorite.

    Best Rig to Start a Build

    If you exceed the design limits of a truck and break it, it isn't the vehicle's fault. They are described as "capable off-road 4x4's" not "desert trophy trucks with a trailer hitch."

    Best Rig to Start a Build

    If I were going to get one of those I would get the Colorado just because I like the way it looks.

    Do you do all your own build labor?

    I started taking things apart when 5. Quickly learned to put them back together so I wouldn't get in trouble. Got a job at a dealership as a valet when I was 17. Got a degree in auto tech when I was 19. Been working on cars since then and I'm 36 now.

    How To Identify Hoat / Oat Coolant.

    The glass jar trick won't work. It needs to be heat cycled, and even then it takes weeks to gel. I have never seen a dip test to differentiate between anti-corrosion additives. A body shop worth their snuff would have used Mopar coolant during repairs. One way to check is to pull a sample. The...
