  • 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.

    What Camp Saw Do You Use? (Non-powered hand saws)

    My wife is an avid gardener. We have vegetable gardens, flower gardens, butterfly gardens, herb gardens, fruits, ornamental trees, etc. As you can imagine, proper tools are a big requirement for easy maintenance of all of these. She has pruners, shears, clippers, etc. And a bow saw. The bow saw...

    What is the difference between a tow strap, snatch strap, and kinetic , and when would you use each?

    Tow strap, snatch strap, kinetic strap, I'm confused. I have, and have used a tow strap to pull a vehicle out of the snow. I know not to leave slack, and to just pull steadily. And I've seen videos of trucks getting a running start and jerking a vehicle out, but I've also seen where they yank...

    Is anyone using a Weight Distribution Hitch to pull a trailer? Recommendations?

    Looking again at possibly purchasing a small travel trailer. I'm lost when it comes to weight distribution hitches and sway bars. Some have added sway bars, and some have them integrated. I've looked on general RV sites, but they aren't much concerned about ground clearance. Anyone use one and...

    Roof Rack: First hand experiences with Prinsu, FrontRunner, or K9 Wanted

    I'm considering replacing my Thule crossbars and Yakima roof basket with a full-length roof rack. I want to go with an aluminum rack, due to living in the rust belt, where salt goes everywhere in the winter. I realize that aluminum oxidizes when exposed to salt, but not as much as steel rusts...

    Rooftop Access Ladder: Use it, or a waste of money?

    I'm considering replacing my Thule crossbars and Yakima roof basket with a full-length roof rack. Currently, to access the basket, I stand on a door sill, rear bumper, tire, or occasionally the window frame of a rolled-down window. With a full length rack, I could access the entire area using a...

    Steve & Deb's 2016 Cross-Country Adventure

    Well, I sure didn't get everything done that I wanted to on the 4Runner this summer. But it is time for us to leave on this year's cross-country trip, so what's left to do will just get done later. Yesterday I took out the driver's side rear seat bottom so that I have access to the floor...

    Magnetic Antenna Location Question

    During Amazon's Prime Day sale, I picked up a Midland 75-822 CB and a Wilson Lil Wil magnetic antenna. My 4Runner has a roof basket and sunroof. The basket extends from as far back as I can go without hitting the lifgtgate to just overhanging the sunroof. That leaves the area of the roof in...

    ALPS Mountaineering Guide Table

    A couple of years ago, I bought an ALPS Mountaineering Guide Table from the discount vendor, The Climb. It was on sale for $79 for a table that was normally $150 retail, and $99 most discount places. This table is now available from Amazon for $59.99 with free Prime Shipping. The top is 22" X...

    Steve & Deb Head North (Sometime in 2016?)

    No firm plans yet, but this is something we've been considering for this year, and talking to Cody yesterday (@MidwestOverlanders) it brought it back to the forefront. Basic route we have in mind, with a lot of changes and additions to be made before the actual trip. This was just a quick...
