  • 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.

    Steel winch cable vs synthetic rope

    Here is a video on NOT HOW TO DO IT. The comments are mostly negative, and many wonder if the title is deliberately misleading. No beer in the video, but it sure sounds like it with the rational thought process they are using. It's not a reflection on our English cousins, it just happens to...

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

    It looks like it has the ability, to take a grill protection hoop, by the 2 holes in the upper section (provided link). Or are those for a pair of AUX lights? Plastic fenders have no place on a off-road vehicle. Recovery hooks are the.....BARE MININUM. It is a shame that you have/had to go...

    X-Bull Gen2 vs Gen3: Who has used a Gen3 in recovery?

    The Gen3 has some new design features which address a few issues the Gen2 has, namely the tendency to melt the teeth. Does anyone have or have used a Gen3 version yet. Teeth design, underside structure changes, new stacking challenges, etc. In the accompanying You-Tube video, those questions...

    Let's see those rigs in action

    Love the concept, love the look. Could we see some interior shots on how you 'kitted it out'. Your departure and egress look pretty good. The question I have is that last picture. Is that a INTER-COOLER or RADIATOR? That shield is a good idea, but seems to leave it vulnerable to a rock...

    DIY traction board tire mount?

    Not Stateside. Made in Australia, and so far, I do not think it has been imported into our country. BUT........more and more items are making their way to our shore all the time. Looking at that design, it would not take much to update the actual mounting plate to attach to a side rack. A...

    Krazy Beaver Super Shovel

    Nice score. Find yourself a old D-Handle, from a old broken shorty one, There-by keeping it short for the JEEP/Emergency. Or go full length (handle) and keep it for the shed. Either way, nice find, and great price. :hearteyes: I did this with a fiberglass, full size shovel , where the handle...

    New Midland MXT275 (GMRS Mobile)

    Just received a E-mail from Midland. It seems they have released some new GMRS accessories on their web-page. One of the things is a new 6dB antenna that has a 'spring' whip now for better durability. I just bought their now older style in early December. The new one looks like this: The...

    4Runner Owners Registry

    Yes indeed,....... you have a very nice kitted-out 4 Runner. F/R bumpers are just what I would want on a TOY like you have. The Propane and water/fuel can setup with the dual swing-outs are mounted they way I would do it. The only change would be to preferably move the Hi-Lyft jack behind the...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Love that UNDERFOLDER. I have never seen one for a 10/22. What brand? Hate a sidefolder style stock. The closest to a acceptable one, would be the Ruger mini 14 vintage one. The only downside to the AK47 under slung is using larger extended mags. But when folded, they sure are slick, and make...

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

    Say it is not true.......There was some awesome deals last October and November, on the X-Bull clones on E-bay. I just wished the mounting systems for them had also been put on sale. At one point you could almost buy 2 sets of boards, for the cost of 1 mounting pin setup (need 2), for 1 set of...

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

    Just bought my BIL and Sister, 2 sets for Christmas. Twice they could have used a pair for a full-size F-250 4x4.

    Welcome to the LV area group. There are a few members who do runs quite often, out from town on day runs. So far, most seem fairly tame.....not rock bashing/body damaging trails. Fill out the small info area on your personal page showing a few things about your rig. You can also do a more...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Craftsmanship, something we took for granted. Also a appreciation, and pride of ownership, that is not seen in the possession of today's TUPPERWARE stamping's. They work yes, but are a tool to use, not something to treasure. A nice Python, S&W lawman etc, or your Anaconda, are property...

    Best mobile air compressor unit for Overland travel?

    This is something I have heard about also. Not having ever owned one, I can not give an opinion, on what ARB might have changed in their production. But I have read that catastrophic failure has been observed by more than 3 different users, both the under hood, and the interior clean...

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

    Your picture looks like you have a short bed truck. What after-market fuel tank did you go with? I always thought the fuel tank design....OEM, left a lot to be desired, aka, 25 gallons. I did not want a long-bed, to get the larger fuel tank that GM offered. The big downside with the...

    Overland Hound

    It looks like your using a military type vest arrangement with MOLLE attachment bags. I have the ICEFANG K-9 vest on my pup. It fits her pretty good, L size/44 lbs (Size-Medium would have been better for her). Her weight with another 8-10 pounds on her will be perfect (14 months now). Fit...

    Best Traction plates??

    Very interesting on doing that. I had wondered if someone would try just such a thing. From your post it sounds like you did a complete changeover vs just replacing those studs that could be burned off. As a price point.......how much money do you think you saved over the gen 4 version with...
