The Grabber ATs 285/75/16s.

I haven't run with KO2s since my rubicon days 10 years ago. I never had any problems, no flats, no loss of traction in or upon any roadway and always got at least 40,000 miles out of all my BFG products. I'm experimenting with the Generals now for the first time and so far at 35,000 miles am...

Including the cost of the original trailer (4x6; Carry On) I have a bit under 4,000 dumped into it, ending up with a heavily modified, overbuilt, lightweight trailer, 1500 lbs loaded. It does go anywhere our Landcruiser will go. I cannot weld, but I have friends that do. A year ago we were in...

On the eastern seaboard you can walk in just about any direction and get to a road with traffic in a day or less. This does not include Maine. Since in the worst case scenario you may have to do a bit of walking, bring at least a well supplied day pack and good hiking boots. When we are out...

True, jeep has supported a really strong aftermarket upgrade business model for nearly 50 years, for good reason. It’ll be interesting to see where Ford has cut corners necessitating a strong aftermarket upgrade business. Thankfully my wife is not 25, (65) but our LC is 25 and still going...

Not a rabbit hole, unless one turns it into a rabbit hole. I’ve been using mine for over 8 years without failure. Nothing automatic with a manual switch to isolate or connect. 50 bucks for battery box, 25 for washer fluid relocation brackets, 50 bucks for the marine grade switch and maybe 10...

Just what is a Sasquatch package? Why not just say, triple locked with crawl control? If that’s what it is. Jeep lost me after my 2004 Rubicon, which in my opinion, once it was beefed up with proper aftermarket suspension and prop shaft upgrades was easily on of the finest Jeeps ever built...

We have about the same capacity as you. One thing I have learned is to be very careful about where we fill up with water. I always ask, purchase something from the establishment and sometimes offer to pay for the privilege of filling up with another's water supply. We carry our own hose as gas...

I just use a cut to length ratchet strap securing a pair on the racks right behind the solar panel. Easy to deploy and easy to ratchet back down. If your not at least 7’ tall they are nearly impossible to see, tucked between the panel & gear boxes..

seems we may have hi-jacked this thread. Vintage So Cal was a lot of fun. I left about the same time the last orange groves along Harbor Blvd were developed.. 84'. I led a beautification & maintenance team in preperation for the Olympics specializing in parking lot line striping... Made...

I wept openly when the Golden Bear was tore down.. Saw Greg Allman there. Used to hang out at a bar on Main. The storm troopers would march thru the bar nearly every day, those were the days eh?

C'mom due, you're a surfer and you haven't figured out a way to get a tent up on top of your Ghia? Surfer from San Dimas? Thats odd. That's kinda like a desert rat in Pennsylvania. ( me ) Hope you're chuckling with me, I lived in Huntington for 10 years back when it was still way cool...

Nice build- I use a 5 ton pintle hook. Been using that hook for 12 years and 100s of thousands of miles. It’ll probably last forever.

Hmmm. We are not weekend warriors. We live outta our RTT roughy 10-12 weeks a year. Locally we occasionally do overnighters. So add another week or two. Our RTT has an annex. It takes about 10-15 minutes to deploy the annex. That is our dry out, changing room, and bathroom. Our boots come...

I hear a lot about folks not wanting a trailer because it restricts where they can and cannot go. Our trailer can and does go anywhere our tow vehicle can go, and that’s roughly 99.9% of all trails in North America.. our RTT is mounted atop our 4x6 highly modified trailer and I’ve never ever...

Good vid from our friends in OZ. Another consideration, a big one, is how available a tire size is. I prefer tall and narrow - 255/85/16, however, good luck finding that size tire readily available in any remote town or fuel stop. So, I compromise and use 285/75/16, a little too wide for my...

Merry Christmas to all !

Since living here in Pennsylvania the past 37 and 1/2 years I've come to understand that when folks say they are calling for a particular weather event, there really is a man up on the mountainside calling out the weather and warning us of what is to come. Seriously,, any precipitation...

I read a lot about products all coming from the same factories in China and simply being rebranded. RTTs suffer the same generalization. OVS or any of the other less expensive tents may have come from the same factory as a Tepui or JB tent but the quality is night & day. I come from the...

Convoys? In most states convoys are illegal unless a permit is obtained. You aren’t planning anything illegal are you? That’s all we’d need is a big black eye for OB if citations were issued.
