    Anybody else out there do their own body work and paint their vehicles themselves?

    I have been modifying and building hot rods and off road vehicles for 50 years. One of my passions is keeping a 35 year old vehicle in like new conditions. That gets a bit hard when I have flipped and flopped it a few times. It has never been garaged so the cheap automotive paint rarely...

    Colorado fire restrictions info

    There are overlapping fire restrictions. Each County and Forrest have their restrictions, but our Socialist Colorado Governor put up a statewide ban on all open fires.

    Overlanding suspension?

    Skids and recovery points coupled with recovery equipment first. For overlanding, flex is overrated. Clearance is nice but skids and attention to line make up for a lot.

    Colorado in October?

    If it is open, do Fall River Road. Can be run in any higher clearance vehicle. If you want something more challenging, try Coney Flats via Camp Dick. With the current state of the fires, I would be surprised if RMNP is even open by then.

    US Rocky Mountain Red Cone

    Will be there. What comms are people running? I like to take lots of pictures along the way, having been a professional photographer, but with the smoke, the vistas may be lacking. Hopefully we will see the mountain goats.

    Girlfriend Compromise Site Help!

    I got tired of the portapotty and went with the 5 gallon bucket with the toilet seat top you can buy. I carry the disposable bags with the gel. It is smaller, cheaper, easier to pack and works very well. Easy to clean...tie up the bag, and it doesn't ever leak. I pack the TP and bags inside...

    Running trails solo as an overlander

    I've been "overlanding" for over 50 years. 99% has been alone or with my wife riding shotgun. I grew up in the mountains of Colorado on a ranch in the mountains. Rules: Always have someone who knows when you are supposed to be back and check in upon returning. Try to let someone know where...
