  • 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.

    Windshield Pics...

    What area? for these photos. The Union Pacific usually date stamped all their access portals, at least those I have seen between LV south past Primm CA area, and some North towards the Utah border. If you go South where LV BLVD and the RR tracks parallel...aka, crosses the I-15, you can follow...

    what PSI do you run on trails?

    Many years ago, before i got educated, and started thinking about it, I just ran street/Hwy pressures everywhere. This was before portable air compressors became relatively available or cheap. Had to run a wash board dirt road that was rock hard for 2 hours, when we got disorientated in the...

    OB Approved Safety and Security While Traveling

    Wilbah said "I also had to chuckle and shake my head at the guy who kicked the wolf saying he "immediately felt bad". So a family is being attacked, you respond (good for him, at least he did that), you see a wolf tearing into a tent amidst the screams of a family, you kick it and then feel bad...

    Thanks for the pictures. Looks like you went solo on this run. That cabin is in great shape, the bucket looks new. I did not realize there was so many roads in that area, seeing that it borders the Test Site to the North. I did read many years ago, that some photographers got into some...

    Let them eat SPAM!

    For now, I'm doing a Emoji 'SAD'...........just not sure about Ramen and SPAM. Going to have to think about that combo. I imagine a little Tabasco would help :tongueout:. I like Ramen, with Spicy, chicken, pork flavors etc. I have done a egg drop Ramen soup with scallions and some added...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    This:............"A long gun you cant have it loaded in a rig. But you can have a magazine loaded but nothing in the chamber". ( Roam_CO85 said:) As I mentioned about Hunting regulations spelling out State laws on this subject. (post #887) In the chamber is a NO-NO. But let me caveat...

    Remember your fairy tales: The lower sign must mean that there are a lot of bridges ahead.:smile:

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    Excellent information. I wondered when I read about transporting a long gun...LOADED. In the USA, a pistol may be transported LOADED (depending on individual State laws), but a long gun...NO!!! Anyone who has hunted, reads in the regulations that, that is a big NO-NO. And it crosses over to...

    Enjoy the trip, probably a good idea for this weekend. Rain is forecast for the valley next Wed/Thur, so snow is likely in the Sheep Range next week. I can't place Alamo road's location. Is it the road between Corn Creek (US 95) and Ash Springs area off US 93? That area is known for deep...

    Nature Photos

    Your photos have a very professional look to them. Are they because of a particular LENS FILTER you use?, or shutter speed?, Prefered Camera. And by the way,.............great panoramic backgrounds :laughing:

    Windshield Pics...

    What antenna are you running on the jeep. A Tri band? Base/mid load type (BRAND). Also is it a NMO base or a pl259, as it is cut off in the picture. Saw the weather was coming down the mid central states. So I imagine winter has arrived up there. Was up there 4 years ago on a business...

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

    Just purchased 2 sets as a Xmas gift, for my Sister and BIL..again price was good (eBay)....$37.95 a set X2. They are very minimalist on recovery gear. Have had friends around when needed, so they haven't invested. These will at least offer some support in that direction :laughing: when out...

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

    Purchased and just received a pair of these. Price was to good to ignore, and besides,............I have been thinking about them as an addition to my recovery gear bag. New tech vs old tech :sunglasses:. A eBay purchase, for an item that was viable for my HD rig. would have preferred a 36,000...

    PSA for those who may not know...Tow balls are NOT recovery points!

    For those of us that have GM pickups, circa 2001-2006.5 (classic), it became known that GM skimped on their OEM hitches. By that, I mean, for their 3/4 & 1 Ton trucks, they were supposed to be a class IV or V hitches. Where in fact they were marginal class III in design and build. There were...

    ATV's and Overlanding ....

    I have 2 ATV's, a SUZUKI KQ 700 (2006), and a 2002 POLARIS 500 (Remington Edition). The Suzuki (fuel Inj) just about does 120 miles, and is on fumes. The Sportsman 500 (Carb), even with it's bigger tank, is on fumes at around 80 miles. Been so close to being out of fuel a couple of times. I...

    Warn, Smittybilt or something else?

    "a smity built 9500 for the new build." My recommendation would then be their X20 gen II line with IP68 waterproof rating, which has the wired/wireless remote. Your preference of steel or synthetic line. :laughing: Specs...
