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.

    US West Night run to Pioneer Saloon

    On a side note, I notice that over the last 6 months or so, that on the LV map, most members location 'DOT', have moved and become a giant 'CLUSTER in one part of the valley now (downtown area). At the begining of the year, many more members were spread out over the city as a whole. If...

    US West Night run to Pioneer Saloon

    Sounds like fun. I haven't done that trail in almost 20 years, pre- toilet building/parking lot at trailhead on 160. Seen wild horses on the West side of that valley a couple of times, different trails, NW of Goodsprings (2015), and there is a herd in the mountains East of that valley also...

    What Air Filter?

    Just read the K&N test, supplied to us by TerryD. I believe the one I saw over a decade ago, had more brands/rebranded filters represented. Brands like : STP Walmart? Fram Napa Napa Gold Donaldson Ford (Motorcraft)? Purolator Gold? Bosch And some I can't recall now. It was extensive, more...

    Tire Advice

    A new contestant in the field is the Patagonia MT tire. A softer rubber=less overall useful tread life, so these would not be for a everyday DD. They ride better, and are quieter than many AT tires on the road. Pros=inexpensive upfront purchase price compared to name brands, way cheaper/big...

    Dealing with wasps while cooking.

    Traditional Honey bees, your probably correct,, in most instances. However out West, and the South Central USA, we now have the Africanized Bees to contend with. These will mass attack, and even if your not allergic, you will probably die from the quantity of stings or hospitalized for a...

    What Air Filter?

    What you wrote is so correct. Paper......quality.... paper filter elements, do indeed have the best filtration for fine dust particles on any vehicle that sees mixed or off-road use. Save the K&N, or even the ...OMNI UNI foam for the street vehicles. Because if you have a turbocharger, the...

    Winch Gloves: You use them Correct?

    Notice 3 brands use a snug elastic cuff or wrist strap, while 2 use the old style open wrist style. I have both types, but prefer the elastic cuff design. The High-Lift gloves are pretty light weight, and are marginal at best with steady use. The ARB ones are their newest design and are well...

    What tire pressure are you running your e rated tires at for daily driving?

    I have to say that forums like this, and watching You-Tube videos, have given me better knowledge, and a broader understanding of proper inflation choices. In years past, it was lower PSI in sand, but never to the extent now accepted as adequate, due to not having a way to pump them up outside...

    Assuming you have them, or plan too, ......why did you/do you, choose that color for your use? Board colors now seem to come in many flavors, from the original Orange, to now Tan, Olive, Plum, Black, Lime Green, Blue, Red, etc. It seems this has become a way to entice buyers, who might not...

    Winch options

    Thanks for the update. Those are big batteries, so they have a lot of plates in them. I have 2 strikes working against me. (1) GM puts a smaller size battery tray in their trucks, diesel not withstanding, which of course limits the battery power, as the case size has a affect on CCA...

    Rig Photos

    Love the TUNDRA setup. The pop-up camper is just the ticket in heavy rain areas, and avoids the problems that tent use in that environment entails. Love how it is also set up for quick removal with the jacks. The rear setup looks great, and would be how I would organize it if I was running a...

    Winch options

    (A) Brand please, as most deep cycle batteries have lower CCA numbers than that. Having a 6.6 Duramax Diesel, the recommended minimum is at 800 CCA in my application. I once had to put in a set rated at 700 CCA, as that was all they had at the time. They lasted about as long as the 800 CCA...
