    Unconventional Winch & attachment design

    My winch resides in my garage until trips. When I carry it, I have a 2" receiver mounted to a plate bolted inside my Jeep. It keeps it from chasing me around inside my Jeep in an accident and I have a locking hitch pin to make it harder to steal.

    Unconventional Winch & attachment design

    What you speak of is a multi-mount winch. I have run a 12k Milemarker winch for almost 20 years. The best thing is that the winch is out of the weather and will last forever. If you mount it on the bumper, it will corrode and after a few years you will go to use it and it will be dead. Just...

    Ground up off-road trailer build

    Way too funny. The local PD can do VIN verifications but not build inspection from what they told me. Sorry for the hassle. Going to be in town over the holidays? I am getting in on the 23rd and won't leave until the 2nd. Would love to buy you a cup of coffee or a beer.

    Ground up off-road trailer build

    That is funny, when I built mine, the only way was to take it to Colorado Highway Patrol in Broomfield. They would not even schedule it at Timnath I-25. They made me get a temp tag to pull it down there otherwise they were going to give me a ticket and this was way pre-covid.

    Best Overland off-road trailer

    The perfect one is different for each person. The perfect one for me is the one in my sig. I designed it exactly for what I wanted, pretty much no corners cut. But as we all know, our needs/wants are constantly changing. I am always looking at my next mod. The moral of the story is, get...

    What is the Quintessential Camp Food?

    I forgot a staple I take along. I freeze homemade New Mexico style tamales with chili. I thaw them out and steam them in a pan on the trail.

    Your Go To Jack

    I carry a 12 ton bottle jack with air assist. I just slide it under, connect it to my onboard CO2, press the button and its up. I then use the CO2 to run my impact. You would be surprised how handy an impact and air ratchet can be on the trail.

    Live chickens

    The problem with that is that eggs are refrigerated at the producer any more. We had 4000 caged laying hens, we gathered, washed graded, boxed, then refrigerated. The washing does the most harm. It removes the protective layer.

    EU - Covid, The Virus That Keeps Taking

    I would love to ship my rig over and do some exploring but all I hear is that there is no place you can pull off and camp overnight.

    Overlanding and CPAP

    That works great until you have beans for supper.

    Live chickens

    I forget what state it is down south but it is littering to leave anything on the side of the road, except chicken feathers. When transporting chickens, the stress causes them to lose feathers and it would be impossible to transport chickens for slaughter.

    A small piece of kit that gives huge piece of mind

    rock crawlers just use the short valve stems so they don't get broken off.

    Live chickens

    Why bother. Eggs keep for 3-4 week in a fridge. I bet less than one in a thousand people on here will every be totally away from civilization for a month at a time. If so, you are going to be eating out of a can or sticking to beans and rice. Eggs do quite well at room temp for a week or better.

    Teardrop project

    If you cover the insides with patio carpet from Home Depot, the insides will look nice and be a ton quieter and warmer.
