    OB Approved Overland Safety: Fire Extinguishers

    When I was an aviation photographer I spent most of my time on various flight lines both military and civilian around the country in my work truck. I had a 20# CO2, 2 5# Halons and a 10# ABC mounted in the bed and easily reached if needed. I also had a 5# Halon mounted on the floor in front of...

    Tips for Paper Maps

    I have 4-5 GPS's and all kinds of other stuff but out where I live there are lots of places with no cell service or GPS it's just dead. I've been using topo maps forever and no matter what, light, dark, power, no power, sat coverage or not they always work as does my compass. Here's how I...

    Which Paper Maps are Best???

    In addition to the Delorme, Benchmark and free maps, I like and use USGS 1 24000 Quad maps. I got tired of tearing them up or crushing them and decided to get something to protect them. All the tubes and cases on line were pretty expensive so I decided to make my own. I ended up naming 12 map...

    Dangerous situations!

    Glad to hear your wife had a great visit over there, it's a beautiful place. When I was in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand the locals were fine it was the others I had a few problems with.

    Help me understand all the different farkles mounted to your dash.

    I have a question for you guys with the big displays. I've never owned a vehicle with them and have always wondered how the hell you guys drive at night with all that bright light coming from them? I have extra gauges in my dash and a couple of radios but they all have red lights in them so I...

    Map for Navigating Maine

    You did know that Delorme is right on the south end of Freeport don't you? It's a nice big building I went in right after they moved in, at that time you could buy direct from them.

    Reverse lights

    Looks good!! Maybe you could wire them in with a switch so you can also use them without putting it in reverse.

    Carburetor vs. Throttle Body Injection

    I agree with Hemi! My advice for what it's worth is to have a good tune-up done with quality parts.By that I mean new coil, rotor and cap (Blue Streak), plug wires, quality plugs (Autolite or NGK), Wix filters (gas, oil, air), synthetic oil, then have someone that really knows carbs set your...

    Carburetor vs. Throttle Body Injection

    If you're lucky the "increase" will get you from 11-12 to 12-13. What gears and tires are you running? You have to remember you're driving a brick through the air, there is nothing aerodynamic about a Wagoneer. I've had a lot of them over that years, best I ever got with locking hubs, tall...

    Rear door foldout table-1st use

    Looks like it works well for you and is a good addition to your rig. I like the shin breaker too.

    Carburetor vs. Throttle Body Injection

    It is an advantage but personally I don't think it's as big as most think. I've been driving vehicles with carbs over 50 years and if the carb os set up right they work fine. I grew up in CO at 8000-9000' feet and carbs worked fine. In todays world are they as good as fuel injecton? Absolutely...

    I'm a bit worried about my $1400 Dometic fridge and their customer support!

    Looks like he's upset about buying an expensive piece of equipment that he can't get fixed. I have never understood why anyone would take time to snipe away at someone asking for help. If you don't have anything nice or helpful to say then close the thread and go read something else. As you...
