I was way too late to the GMRS party as I can be stubborn at times and cherished my vintage Cobra CB. That thing was 30 years old and still pumping strong. Or so I thought. Family travels with us a lot now so I gave GMRS hand helds a try, which ended up being an exercise in frustration. We...

Gotta chime in on that one. Wet “packing in time”, depends on the quality of the RTT. We have experienced little if any difference in pack time even in the pouring down rain. Now hard windy conditions can cause a major delay.

We use nothing less than a canvas tent. I would recommend you take a look at the family of Oztents. They really do set up very quickly and one person can do it easily. oztent - Google Search We have the huge Oztent/Jettent 25x which is very easy to set up with two people and a Tepui...

I was just browsing and saw this. I just recently did away with AWD on my 80 series LC, by removing the viscous coupler and replacing that with a spool. Then added new birfs to easily bolt on manual hubs. The difference is amazing and I would never go back to awd, ever. If I'm on pavement or...

ya, leaking a lot and the steering was little on the loose side causing a bit of wandering. I was able to find one that has only 150,000 miles on it and no leaks. I'll get that in along with new hoses and all will be good. It's a pretty simple job as long as no bolts get broken. Ha...

With 371,000 mile on the cruzer it is time to replace the steering box. I got as far as removing the drag link ball joint without damaging it, removing the shield that protects the steering shaft universal and giving the bolts on the universal plenty of penetrating lubricant. Now I wait 24...

Curious- would you enjoy all that for a month or two? If so, you’re very lucky to have such like minded friends. In 40 plus years, we’ve met one couple we went out with for 7 weeks, and would go with them again. A very rare friendship.

Nail on the proverbial head, no matter how few people, if there’s a Mister or Misses “ large & in charge” it’s over. See ya later, not doin this again!!

Ya, us too. Been to a couple of events. Boring- Have zero interest in any expos.

Just curios- would you guys be able to travel together for a few weeks or a couple of months at a time? We’ve a friend that is indeed a blast to hang with, after a week it got very, very old. Couldn’t wait to get him on a plane headed home.

We used an old Coleman for decades, spare parts are plentiful on Amazon or fleabay. We now have a propane stove as I’m catching up with the 21st Century. . I prefer tall & skinny, but a 255/85/16 tire is not available in an AT, nor is it a common size in North America. Your rig would perform...

Opinions? I’ve got 30+ years of opinions, maybe longer, ya- since about 1976. It has more to do with what NOT to buy. Don’t by cheap, do your research and purchase gear from well established companies that have a footprint world wide. ( think Frontrunner or ARB or AEV or companies similar to...

That is truth. When we travel alone opportunities abound for meeting interesting and entertaining minds.

For two decades my wife and I traveled alone and preferred it that way, much to the chagrin of family members, as we do get as far off grid as is humanly possible in a vehicle and occasionally on foot. During the past few years we have taken up traveling with good friends & family, or I...

thats the coolest thing I've seen in quite a while to aid my attempts at map reading. Since retiring 8 years ago my vision has actually gotten a bit better. +1.50 now, when I got outta the truck I needed 2.50s. Never mind, Those monocles are going on my Christmas list next year. Nice find !

It is a brand name PETT, Cleanwaste is another brand name for the same thing...

I don’t like em, I don’t even like the idea of them on any vehicle. On a trailer?. I’ve used a pair on my trailer for decades without any problems. However, my trailer weighs only 1500 lbs so the added stress on the outer bearings is minimal.

Couldn’t help myself. Saw this big guy in NM. No mods necessary, it’s ready to go !!

Nothing new, people have been being arrested for social opinions for certainly my entire life and probably for the past 250 years. We could debate the difference between social and political, but it’s all about social issues, then, the politicians latch onto what they think will be the winning...
