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.

    RV Stabilizers with RTT

    While not a overland camp trailer, my 22 foot duck tail flatbed is going to have a pair installed on the rear. I usually have Atvs on it, it is a designed car hauler. The problem as I see it, is that when loading, up the ramps, a lot of stress is put on the coupler, along the lower...

    choosing the right winch ?

    Winch construction, especially CHINESE, have improved drastically. This is because many brands were moved there for cost considerations. As such the trickle down QC , allowed them to become viable as a consideration.

    MUSHROOMS: Canned or Fresh, or both?

    To answer my own question, I love canned mushrooms. I buy the big num#5 can from places like SMART AND FINAL. Strain, then zip-loc bag them. I put them in the freezer till I need them. If camping, a frozen package is thrown in the cooler. Their great in omelet and egg dishes....mmm

    Trash is trash is trash...right?

    YOUR RIGHT, OUTSTANDING PHOTO ALBUM. I'm a sucker for vintage RR lines, track age, grades, etc.

    I wish Toyota would import some of the models they offer in other countries. It seems that after the 1970's, TOYOTA MADE CERTAIN CORPORATE DECISIONS, that limited importation, most likely quotas on total imports allowed (US Government). The FJ made it awhile past that, and are priced at a...

    Trash is trash is trash...right?

    A interesting debate, where you think your held belief on art or trash, gets turned upside down, as others have chimed in with examples that will challenge yours. Sometimes it becomes a blurred line, as seen in Death Valley (NPS), where they could have enforced/removed tea pots, but made a...

    Trash is trash is trash...right?

    Outside of Las Vegas, on the North end of MT. CHARLESTON (Cold Creek), there is an area that has wild horses. The residential community there started something that changed how the horses act. It seems years ago somebody their left their leftover pumpkins on the side of the road. And then others...

    Overlanding with disability & gear recommendations

    A quality 3 season is easiest to find. Ventalation issues,seem to be,the biggest concern. This is especially true with 4 season, as they get hot in summer use. 2nd comes waterproof design. Some are better than others. This is where people reviews,are so important. COST...3 season...run the...

    Trash is trash is trash...right?

    For me it was the exact opposite. Living in the desert SW, I went in 1975 as a kid for a month to New England. At first,....WOW...all this green. A month later, my thoughts were..."get me out of here" Haze, mugginess , trees, trees, etc. My only respite was going to Cape Cod/ocean. That was in...

    Insurance options

    My Mom has a 2010 Toyota Highlander, with the navigation system, and it is too complicated to use on a regular basis, with the systems features. Instead, a GARMIN has that honor. First for years a 1090 NUVI, and recently a 1360?, with ALL the goodies. It has a dash cam,lane assist, lane...

    Bottle Jack

    A JEEP, I would think a 6 ton would be overkill, and easier to lug around, than a 12 ton. You probably would be okay with a 4, but that would be the minimum with the up- fitting you have done.

    Insurance options

    WOW.....I surprised it wasn't a totalled...write off, once the extent of the damage was known. New engine/labor was probably $14,000 of that 20 grand. Body work/labor probably took another big chunk. They must have been feeling generous. That cost had to have been above the depreciation point...

    Overlanding with disability & gear recommendations

    Being that there are PHYSICAL limitations involved, a RTT might not be such a good idea. Climbing that ladder, or descending it means use of your arms for stabilization. Also...a dog[emoji2] will appreciate mom and dad sharing a place with them, not exiled to alternate sleeping quarters. A...

    Trash is trash is trash...right?

    Yah, it's become a popular tourist stop. I have mixed feelings about it, due to where the BLM allowed it to be set up. If it had been put either in Jean, Nv. Or closer to Las Vegas, I might have accepted it with some enthusium..

    Outfitting Your Land Yacht -A Guide to Building a Strong, Full Size-¾ -1 Ton, Domestic Rig-

    I have always wanted a real world review of the Dyna Trac hub system. You get a TRUE disconnect in the axle, therefore...less wear, and better fuel mileage. I never bought into the Chevy/Ford ads of over a decade ago. Remember the rain advertisement and the driver getting out to lock the...

    4Runner Owners Registry

    Hopefully they repaint the entire hatch, as that way, it will age the same, and not become 2 tone. Good Luck.
