  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Very good chance that this law is totally unconstitutional and would be struck down promptly if ever tried in court against a normal citizen, but nobody wants to be the test case.

    True, I am almost always solo. With kids it's a bit different for sure.

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    In the People's Republik of Kanadastan, we have some of the stupidest, most vaguely written, most pointlessly draconian gun laws around, but "safe storage" obviously doesn't apply to firearms that are "in use" and "in use" can mean many things, including sitting around the camp fire yarning and...

    Lever rifles are good too. Extremely expensive though.

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Lots of good advice here for sure. Pistols are great as general self defense weapons, especially modern 9mm, however they are much more difficult to master than shoulder fired arms, and generally subject to more restrictions, also most pistol calibers are somewhat anemic against something like...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    My suggestion is the shortest 12 gauge pump shotgun you can own without getting into NFA territory. When you're only planning to have one firearm with a defensive purpose, it's your all around best bet due to the versatility offered by being able to load multiple different types of ammo, even at...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    At least they're proper quality AT tires. 65 is a fairly low profile, so I was more concerned about the lack of sidewall than the overall diameter. I would be concerned about flats, but being good AT tires should help for sure.

    2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4wd SLT - "Rumble"

    I was thinking about a name for the rig tonight, and another possible option came to me: "Rumble" This is because it recently developed a leak in a piece of flex pipe that had been used to repair the exhaust, letting out the lovely throaty rumble of the 4.7L V8. I think it sounds fantastic. My...

    2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4wd SLT - "Rumble"

    Got the spare mounted up to the bed rail using an Erickson spare tire mount kit. It's a little on the dodgy side, to be honest (no pun intended) but since all the weight of the spare is being supported by the bed and the bracket is just holding it in place, against the bed rail, I figure it...

    Looks good! Are you planning to change out the wheels for a higher profile AT or MT tire?

    2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4wd SLT - "Rumble"

    So, finally managed to make some progress on the truck after so many delays. After a 3 day battle, I managed to get the bumper off by basically annihilating the rust welded bolts that held it on. Looking pretty rusty underneath. Today, I attached the awning mount and buzzed off as much of the...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Ratchet Strap body work to rectify the bow in the front of the bed. At some point before I owned it, the bed rail at the front got bashed in so it almost touched the cab. Now it's nice and almost straight lol I also buzzed off as much of the rust from the bumper as I could and gave it a coat of...

    Very nice work, and DANG I need to get myself some of those 90 degree corner clamps! I've never seen those before and they're pure genius.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    After battling for three days laying in the gravel of my driveway with the sun beating down and my goggles fogging up every ten seconds, I FINALLY cut through/bashed off/punched out the final rust welded bolt and got my bumper off, revealing some pretty nasty rust. Fortunately the rust on the...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Hauled a load of garbage to the dump. The garage is finally getting close to being finished. Part of the parameters of my vehicle build is that it must remain usable as a work horse and be able to carry children. Good to go on both counts as I took my 3yo with to give my wife a break from his...

    Awesome. Reminds me a little bit of one of my favorite bush camp spots in Chilliwack, BC, called Windy Knob. I love a camp with a view.

    2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4wd SLT - "Rumble"

    I forgot to mention that I had the front passenger CV axle replaced at the mechanic due to a ripped open boot, and in the process found out that actually this truck has had a pretty significant spacer lift applied prior to me buying it, perhaps 3 or 4 inches. The mechanic had a heck of a time...
