    Expedition Overland interviews AEV on the new Bison ZR2 Colorado

    Once the manufacturers went to side curtain air-bag systems, their off-road vehicles have been susceptible to this occurring. Luckily this is much more rare today. I remember complaints of this happening with on-street vehicles also, and people that had curbed their vehicles. Nowadays, it is...

    US West Official* OB Las Vegas Thread!

    When I had been up there, I never went quite as far as you guys did to your turn-around point. The point where you high sided might have not happened if you had gone about 2-3 mph faster, as it looked like it just lifted the middle of the truck right at the break-over point? Glad you had...

    I tried to meet you this Am at decater/cougar area. I figured I could squeeze a run up there to the mine area, and get back in town and fulfill my prior commitment. Sorry I missed you and hope you guys had a good time. Maybe next time.

    What to do if you punch a hole in your fuel tank miles from nowhere

    I saw this demonstrated on 4Wdrive action(down under)pun intended:tongueout:, on You-tube by the boys in Australia. They were way way back in the bush, miles from any help. They had to apply a new coat of soap quite often, but it worked. I believe it was Graham Hills vehicle that suffered a...

    It's gone now, but once upon a time, there was a water stop on the way west, for steam engines to fill up at, before heading west to Blue Diamond mine, also around 160/buffalo area. It was finally removed and plugged in the late 1970's . My parents moved here in January of 1966, and everything...

    Very close indeed, just west, off Robindale. Do you have the you tube link and/or title? I would enjoy watching that.

    Was up there exploring about 20 years ago. I thought they closed access to it, when they built the catch basin. There is the big cave with the fork in it. We went to the left, took about an hour+ to make our way around. Very neat, watch for snakes. Going past the old mill footings, there is...

    Winch isolator

    I bought one when I had my winch installed. Unfortunately for me, the 17,500 pound winch i installed has a cable hook to match it's capability, too big. Therefore it won't tuck the hook(too big)into the hook pocket molded into it side wise as i had hoped. This was too avoid the cost of a...

    Wilson Cell Signal Mobile Amplifier Review

    Central Nevada is the same way. Although a couple of cell companies have improved coverage, it is still hit n miss in many interior cow counties. think a upside triangle, take away the 2nd leg...aka coverage is Las Vegas/Reno-Carson City/ Elko(2G), and points spread out from there. 4G has...

    Tailgater Tire Table

    Better yet,....get the tire step, and engineer a flat surface mount (multi-tool) that bolts onto the step area. You avoid those 2 stabilization feet that are welded in that down position. This would make it easier to pack. a best of 2 worlds addition.

    Maybe not a review but an observation of Tire Pressure Gauges

    That ARB one should be returned/exchanged with no trouble. Explain to them that it is off, and why it is off. You should have no problems. I believe i read about another, who had the same issue with their ARB deflator gauge, and the customer service took care of it. If they do send a...

    ARB USA Customer Service

    ARB does have a great customer service dept, in the USA> The ARB bull bar in my avatar was put in by a nationally known company here in Las Vegas, and really shortcut the process. They misplaced the Licence plate bracket, which if you can find it, is not cheap $25?. I called ARB, and believe i...

    Tire Deflators

    I bought the GRT deflater off Amazon. It is a knock-off of the ARB. The price $25 vs $39 is what made the decision for me. It also was nice to have a zippered padded soft shell case that had room for extra tire gear like a patch kit/repair kit, and assorted small items. Reviews were good on...
