Up date: Our house sold last week in 2 business days for a lot more than the asking price. Closing is the 11th of April. The Grandby camper is on schedule to be completed that week. The custom flatbed's order is in and will be built and installed that same week. We will pay for the camper...

100? Not on the WRT, there are 20 spread out over the 70 mile trail.

During the shoulder seasons- the sites go fast. A couple years ago I was on my computer at 11:59 mountain time- 1:59 here, had all the info preloaded- hit the “send” button a couple seconds too late, loaded up alternative sites to no avail. Loaded up alternative dates to no avail- every site was...

White Crack is supposed to be great, never been there or Taylor, but we have been to most of the rest of the campsites. Of the remainder I'd have to say that Murphy Hogback is my favorite. Potato bottom is a close second.

Hey guys, hopefully this is a simple questiion to answer. The best place for me to mount my GMRS would be on this shelf. I've not been able to figure out how to remove the shelf as I need to drill holes through it to mount the radio bracket using small bolts and a backing plate, run the coax...

In order to pick your timeframe, pick where you will be going first, then immediately, like yesterday, start watching and studying up on the temps. If the average temps are tolerable in April or May, 45 at night- 75 in the day, then go then. If you want your best half to enjoy it, you do...

I’m not following, as I am somewhat dim witted when it comes to modern vehicles. The truck will not allow me to idle in 4th or 5th because it thinks I’m dumb enough to let the engine bog down instead of knowing enough to downshift? But it will allow me to manually be in an unhealthy high gear...

It’s amazing; I’ve spent the last couple of months, on and off, trying to find an answer to a simple question. I have the 10R100 transmission. When in 4L I can only manually shift it to either 1st or 2nd gear. It will automatically shift up to 7th gear, however it will upshift only by getting...

I’ve found that in Ohio & Louisiana a live sheep staked out at a camp sight, along with a booby trapped pair of hip boots usually does the job!

That’s how we roll.

I too would be questioning if 30 days is enough time. We went up to Tuk then across top of the world into Chicken, then on over to Fairbanks for our first hotel room of the trip. Then wandered south, to Denali, then across the Denali Highway, and headed south, wandering around as we headed...

Those vids are hilarious! Goes a long way splaining why we never see anyone anywhere ever. There is a local guy runs around in his new LR all decked out with stuff hangin all over it. Bumped into him one time and he sounded like the guys in the vid telling me all about his trip to a local...

The last time we were at Buckeye Lake it was nearly dry. Is the water level back up now?

We come from 16 years in the jeep TJ world, then 11 years in the Landcruiser 80 series world, to our present truck a Ford F350 crewcab with 8ft bed. ( interestingly the 6.8 gasser gets about 50% better mpg than any of my previous overland vehicles ) All of these vehicles were after the kids...

Well then, being the cheapskate that I am I found a small keyed lockbox, surprisingly at harbor freight. A fireproof pouch will contain vehicle title, birth certificates, passports, and our wills. Cash checkbook, credit cards and other valuables will be stashed in various places.

I’ll second bring a trailer. Just sold my 96 80 series LX450 with 380,00 miles, two weeks ago. I got what I wanted out of it and the buyer was happy, all for a flat fee. The money & title transfer was seamless. Quite a pleasant experience making it easier to sell off our old albeit well...

Hmm, I took a look, no mention of fire proof or waterproof, or with mechanical keyed locks.

I’m shopping for a small fireproof safe to carry titles, passports, cash, etc in. There’s one that keeps popping up on Amazon that seems to fit our need. Fire King Sure Seal. Any thoughts? I ask because I hate spending money on junk.

Thanks- that is a 13 gallon Ironman tank, there’s a round 6” hatch under the rubber mat to fill it. We are going to get a Guzzle H20 to purify any freshwater and to use as a transfer pump when needed. I was a little surprised that a larger water tank couldn’t be optioned with the Grandby. If...

Finished the rear seat area; plenty of room for the cats, camera gear, fridge, and other stuff. The cats have been on a couple of trips and do really well. Last week was a big week, the for sale sign is on the property, the Landcruiser sold and was picked up, we ordered our Grandby Flatbed...
