What is wrong which everyone? You need at least a 42” tire in order to have any fun whatsoever. 18” lift, portal axles, twin stick, rear steer, 6.56 gearing and bob that rear end. Oh! I just looked at your photo, it’s a Toyota, never mind, you won’t need any of the above.

Is that event in Pennsylvania? I ask as there is a big Rover event just up the hill from me.

Before the influx of cheap winches there were only a handful of choices, Warn, Ramsey, Superwinch. I went with Superwinch As it was the best bang for the buck 10 years ago and it still performs flawlessly. It would give me pause to consider a budget winch that planetary gears would fail if...

At home, old fashioned SS percolator using freshly ground dark roast beans. On the trail, I use the Stanley Press with pre ground coffee. 8 o’clock dark French roast makes great trail coffee. The press packs away easily and is indestructible.

I can’t wait to read the blog post!

I’m not sure what to expect from a Smitty Built product. Our Tepui came through looking like that, I sent them photos & they sent me a new one.

I gotta ask? What sort of changes are you seeking? Those guys are gonna ruin it for everyone. I'll stay tuned.

He’s correct, the buttholes that operate like that are not on these forums, they’ve no clue what tread lightly or leave no trace means, for that matter. Not to run a stereotype into the ground, but the pinnacle of their collective lives was probably had in high school. Some people have no...

Dangerous? Did I use that word? I am however, with tongue in cheek, poking fun of all the other YouTube jockies that overdramatize their travels & are way too serious.

Yup, that sort of advertising has gotten me grumpy since jeep started it way back when, a long time ago, using the theme, “conquering nature” .. this kind of corporate marketing sickens me. One of them, probably jeep, now has a theme about “ make your own trail “ . I’m a big advocate of...

Here is a link that’ll get you going. Installation? They will recommend installers. Here on the east coast I went with Otramm, about a 4 hour drive from here. Ryan has installed a ton of em on Landcruisers. In fact, we are driving down tomorrow to pick up our 80. I’d of done this years ago...

There is a ford dealership in town. They can probably have a set in 3 days or sooner. I gotta ask. What happened?

That’s hilarious!

We are watching ASPW (4xOverland) and are three episodes into the most recent canning stock route series . This is serious stuff they are doing, if anything goes wrong, they are screwed. Vehicle break down, clean out the gear & leave it behind. Life threatening injury, get on the Sat phone...

I’m in the same camp as you. Dedicated two battery system and solar. If I were using a daily driver I’d seriously consider a portable unit with a solar panel. A lifetime ago a contractor friend of mine advised that my first company pick up truck should be twice as big as I thought I...

Wow, this is old, better late than never eh? We had a set of the old steel ceramic coated plates, bowls & mugs. The first time we cold weather camped that was the end of that. Anything served up hot became cold faster than you could eat it. Correll plates and bowls keep the food hot and...

Mid Ohio really doesn’t get it. If I’m in a jeep TJ I have a usable 16-17 gallons. Top off at Green River and head toward the San Rafael Swell. Hang a left or a right when you get there and you’ve already used a half tank. So, according to some experts, it’s time to turn around and head...

I agree with #2. #3 however, when a vehicle gets maybe 11-12 miles a gallon the one up on the rack is emptied asap. So if #3 is necessary, just be smart about it. #1? I’ve never considered 10 gallons in steel Jerry cans to be extra fuel, it is fuel that is needed, planned and used for the...

Cmon guys, I was asking for a friend! LOL!!

That was my assessment as well, never hurts to ask, as assessments are full of assumptions, eh?
