I need an experts help here. We just repainted our cruzer and my paint guy gave me about half a pint of touch up paint. I painted a card with some of it and took it to my local paint store and they matched the color and made up a gallon of exterior gloss, latex paint for me to use on our...

OK guys, Our rig is getting a new paint job this Friday.. Today I begin stripping all the "bolt on" stuff off. Sliders, roof rack, winch, front bumper and --- OB badge #0745. Is there an easy way to get it off and then back on, or must I get another one. If so, how hard is it to get another...

I stumbled upon this vid many years ago while planning our first trip out to The Needles District. There are a couple of things very wrong here. Not the least of which is the fact that there are big signs at each end of this switchback that clearly state,,, PULL IN BACK DOWN on one end, and on...

We are currently in the planning stages for next springs adventure. We are looking at 5 to 6 weeks out, minimum. Our daughter, my son in law and our 2 grandsons are joining us on the White Rim Trail, then 2 nights in the Needles. They will head back to Va afterwords to get the boys back in...

OK, here is the scoop. My daughter, son in law, and two grandsons are doing the WRT with us next spring. After several vehicles, he finally "got" the jeep thing and bought a new '16 4Runner Trail edition. It is bone stock except for sliders that I highly recommended to him. We had planned upon...

Here is the interior. I'll be more than happy to answer any questions about the details of my build...

I've been asked time and time again to post up a walk around of our homebuilt trailer. Finally, after just finishing the slide out drawers in the kitchen I feel comfortable with posting up these walk arounds.

Hello all. It's high time to discuss solar panel power options. I run a dual battery system so when our fridge/freezer, our power inverter, used to charge up the phones, the laptop, and the camera batteries, runs our 55ah agm batteries too low to start the cruzer after a 24 hour period, it...

Here is just a couple of shots taken from our campsite... It's amazing how the different colors pop depending upon the time of day.. the last image was taken just outside of our campsite.

I'm looking at the 300p or the 400p. I don't see much of a difference in performance stats on Viair's website. I'm leaning toward the 400p, but if the 300p isn't much different, then why waste money for the higher number? BTW, my nearly 10 year old cheapo Slime bit the dust.. It just wouldn't...

The sign at the entrance to the Elephant Hill Rd clearly states " No Vehicles Over 21 ft in length". Don't ever say it can't be done ,,,, enjoy !! Part 1 . Part 2 Part 3

Howdy.. I cannot seem to post up any comments in the comment section after viewing any of the videos... It basically kicks me out.. or sends me to a non-existent page... any ideas?

Many many years ago we bought a pair of inexpensive bags from LL Bean. They served us very well, and still do, but as they are both rated at 35+ degrees. I thought it high time to invest in a pair of really really good bags as we were planning this southwest tour in March and early April.. After...

Tomorrow morning this time we will be on the road headed west south west for a 6 to 8 week tour. I posted up our itinerary in another section of these forums if interested and once our reservations are completed in Canyonlands we are free to wander anywhere we choose.. If I ever decide to...

hmmmm, bought this X11 17" axe a few years ago and only used it a few times, as my job didn't allow time for me to split my own wood. Now that I am retired it's time to pick up the axe, wedges and my maul and begin spitting my firewood the old fashioned way. This AM I split enough to last...

We thought about going more places, but family wants to join us in '17 for the WRT and Arches, then we'll be heading west alone for a west coast mountain tour. As much as we'd like to, we just can't do it ALL in one trip.. If anyone wants to stop by and visit us in any of these places, or...

Here is our most recent camp that we set up in November 2015 in the hills of southwest Va.. New, bigger better tent, and our new ( to us ) FZJ80 This vehicle without question is far superior to the TJ Rubicon for long range trips and it easily rivals the TJ off road as we are locked all three...

This is a very interesting site we visited back in Late August of 2013. Absolute silence, and the stars.... We lay awake in our tent, ( fly off ) till one or two in the morning, star gazing.. Unfortunatly we only spent one night here, (daytime temps were toying with 110f) . The next morning...

Four weeks ago my wife had rotator cuff surgery. Her doc greeted me in recovery with an ear to ear smile telling me, Success ! The first words out of my mouth were, " how long till she can strap on a backpack? " The doc looked at me as if I had asked, " how long till I can put her back to...

I use these spacers everywhere, just today I finally got around to raising  my second row seats. After the installation of my home made stowage drawers I was having to release the seat lever in order to access the front compartment and to flip up the wings to access my axe or any other things...
