The first compressor I had was a very old "slime" branded one. It finally gave up the ghost four or five years ago and I replaced it with a Viair compressor and have been using it since. It does a nice job. I've never timed it. Doesn't matter. We aren't in any hurry and we usually take a few...

Ah, you mentioned Beach Camping, Cape Lookout National Seashore is one place I’d like to go sometime, it’s supposed to be pretty remote. Gotta take a Ferry to get there. 4x4 access only. Just stay away during hurricane season and summer

Hey guys, There really isn't much in the northeast as far as 4x4 dispersed camping, until you get way up in Maine, which I am unfamiliar with. Even the central seaboard states leave a lot to be desired as we have visited the GW and Jefferson National forests and been disappointed. Something...

All of what has been said above except I’m partial to Toyota/Lexus. My 96 LX450 has 305k miles and with proper maintenance is going strong and long. I’d not hesitate driving it way long distance, in fact we are headed out next month on an 8,000 mile round trip tour of the western US. You say...

Another thing to add to my list of top five reasons to stay away from plastic gas cans.

I agree,, those are really cool trailers, but my oh my they are heavy.

Getting ready for our next western tour. The original outer brake lines and the original LSPV valve replaced. Passenger side wheel bearings adjusted. Oil change and lube. Rerouting and simplifying dual battery set up as a new bluetop went in for our house battery. Next week, new sneakers and...

I’ve always gotten at least 50k out of a set and then sold them for high dollar, making the new tires cost a lot less.. the last set sold for $400. I’ll be getting the ATX E rated .

I have to report that after nearly 3 decades of using BFG KMs & KOs I’m going to give the General ATXes a try. I’m not really sure why other than it’s about 150 less for all four corners & they get excellent reviews.. I’ll be keeping the two best KOs for the trailer.. wish me luck with my...

Yup, we had one of those at our last event. The poor guy had at least 100k wrapped up in a 200 Landcruiser and all the gear. Nothing but whining about scratches and a failed battery system.. unbelievable !!

Ha!! You’ve made my point, you get it.. there is no definitive definition of “elitist” . The minimalist I know lives in a 500 sq ft home out on 40 acres, raises his own food, is an Overlanders, drives a new 4Runner, has no television, and he’s a nuclear physicist. He has rejected the rat race...

Hmmmm, I know quite a few minimalists that are quite the eletists in their own right.

Cmon, beating my head against the wall can be fun.. I taught my girls, “say what you mean and mean what you say” they hated that as teenagers, buy now they are 40+ and thank me for it repeatedly..

I’ve been enlightened, never knew those sort of plows existed.. what will those Indians think of next?

This reminds me of a gal out on elephant hill years ago. Her husband had just put a large dent in the drivers side rear quarter panel of their brand new LR3. She could be heard screaming at him from far off. I didn’t realize what I was hearing until the small group pulled up for lunch at...

Hey now, I model HO trains, it’s fun to do. In the hobby we call the eletists “ rivet counters”

We always plowed then disced. Harrows had discs but I’d never seen the two terms intertwined. Plow, Disc, Harrow, ( spring tooth or disc) .. sometimes there was a disc in front of the plow for cutting the soil, that disc was not concave/convex and it may have been called a plow disc. Then...

Whew boy, I don’t even know where to begin with these statements and I certainly don’t want to come off sounding like a dick, however, sir, uphill traffic always has right of way. I’m not sure where you have learned your trail etiquette but your statement is flat out wrong. Uphill traffic...

Here's the thing, as much as it may not be approved of by many folks, there simply are not any "overlanding" routes anywhere east of the Mississippi river. There are however a handful of places left to go "four wheelin", which, if we aren't careful will soon be closed down. ( think tread...

To answer your question, yes, it is peoples terrible driving habits. I see a lot of folks complain about a certain brand of tire, ( any brand, pick one) that has horrible performance in adverse conditions- rain, snow, patchy ice, etc... hey, if ya drive like an idiot you’re gonna rate any tire...
