It depends on what you’re doing. We have always carried two old school steel Jerry cans, figure 9 gallons combined. The last two trips out we had an additional 6 gallons up on the rack. That fuel was always used up asap. But what a pain, carrying 15 extra gallons in three cans. Necessary...

There are two old steel cans that have been used for gasoline forever. Is it possible to clean one well enough to drink water out of? Asking for a friend that has cleaned iwith Dove and rinsed it several times.

I've considered one, but it was a passing consideration. My stock rear windows slide nicely to access a couple of things I keep near them. I read that you are considering keeping a fire extinguisher back there. I would suggest keeping your extinguisher very close by. Wits End makes a carrier...

Yes, instinct. I get it. A family member decided a couple of years ago to dump a pile of money into a vehicle and a crap ton of gear so that he could join my wife & I on our trips. We have been going solo for decades. Good habits & Instinct has kept us safe and intact over those years. First...

I’ve a lot to say & little time to say it. My truck completely loaded down, pulling a trailer, scales out at just under the vehicles modified GVWR. Modified GVWR? Yes. The addition of an OME heavy spring set is recognized in Australia as a legal way to increase the GVWR. My axle weight is...

I don’t use soap. It’s all a dirty little conspiracy to keep us all from becoming french. I’m still waiting to hear what MENSA has to say about this.

They had a dog with them. The Bison do not like dogs. It smelled the dog and went after them.

Our Aussie died nearly 12 years ago. We will not be getting another dog until we are done traveling. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs, however, there are way too many places that we travel where dogs are either not permitted, or they simply should not be. We aren’t willing to alter our travel...

Bummer, I’m gonna guess your bad experience was with a later model Range or LandRover. Later model because most of the old ones have been made semi-dependable by their current owners.

150,000 or more until those bushings go out. It’s gonna be a while LOL

38lbs is fine for an 80 series. I’m gonna say that you ran on this tire for quite a few miles, at high speed, with very low pressure. How the pressure was lost would be anyones guess, slow leak, puncture, who knows. But that is what happened. This happens all the time with semi-trucks. Low...

You tube is hard work and it takes away from the back country experience in more ways than one. Back in my jeep days my son in law, who is a tech wizard by profession, and I spent nearly 4 hours making a 4 minute video. I then made a vid exploring the WRT, and another 3 part series on the...

Nice, short, to the point!

That’s really a great question. I agree with shakes & smritte. Preventative maintenance is key along with baselining any components you aren’t sure of in the beginning of ownership. We all replace tires before they reach the end of their life expectancy because we don’t want to get a flat or...

I can be a bit anal about oil leaks etc. the valve stem seals start leaking about every 200 thousand miles. I’m a slow learner and tolerated the oil burn until 292, while learning that If that leak is ignored, then the cats go out. The gasket itself has never failed me. I change oil every 5...

How cool would that be?

Yes, the section headed south after divide road. Sept 22nd

I’ve been looking for reliable info on the Burro Creek cut off from the Rim Rocker. We will have 3 lightly modified 80 series LCs and a heavily modified Chevy Colorado. The Colorado is my concern- it has heavy rear leafs and only a 2” lift up front. We’ve already spent a long time winching...

no one is attempting to civilize any wild places, other than what has already been done to National & State Parks. ( All they do is make me cringe because of all the paved roads and other modern amenities.) Where did you pull that from? Permits, when done correctly will keep our wild places...

Very true. The major problem is funding.
