My vote is for the Coleman dual fuel stoves... My first one lasted nearly 30 years untill I just couldn't service it any longer.. So I stayed with tried and true, I bought my second coleman two burner dual fuel stove about 5 years ago. I either use coleman stove white gas or I find non-ethanol...

agreed, I have a post elsewhere on these forums, something about making a bargain with the proverbial devil. There is a very fine political line that we must walk.

Around home I just use the standard hitch pin. When we are on our trips, I use a grade 8 bolt and a locknut. Yes, someone could steal it all if they wanted it all bad enough, but a pro is gonna get it anyway no matter what you do. The common thief doesn't generally carry around a deep well 3/4"...

@Del Albright,, Yep, knew that about Moab region, and many other regions as well. Out west I was exploring the Joshua Tree area before it was a park and Mohave before it was protected. Back in those days Big Tujunga was wide open as well as Silverado Canyon. Tomorrow I'll be exploring the AOAA...

I'm using Sony A65. My fixed is a 14mm F2.8 Rokinon manual lens. I'm still learning and we haven't gotten out much lately..

I'e been wheeelin in the Moab region quite often. Most of the time one is either on slickrock, or going to be on slickrock. Lockers engaged on slickrock =s breakage. Instead of traction control I've become quite nimble at turning the locker switch on and off as necessary. LSDs are ok when they...

To answer the original question,"do you need lockers for overlanding?" I'd have to say that for us, yes. But that is just us. We go alone, way more often than not. Being alone requires finesse driving techniques be utilized and lockers allow me to finesse my way over, sometimes, extremely rough...

Well stated, I wrongfully assumed that anyone owning an 80 series has done a ton of research to learn what they are getting into. I had considered, Icons or Dobinson shocks. I stuck with what I know which is OMEs. The stiff ride is fine with me. It reminds me I'm driving a truck not an SUV...

V8 or I-6 ? either way, those older engines were stump pullers..

[QUOTE= This is actually my first Jeep, I’ve always been a Toyota guy. How do you do that? I mean, whoa, just how did that happen? Oh yes, in the jeep world there are a plethora of aftermarket products meant for the street machine, (ie; mallcrawler) that if used off of the pavement much...

In a previous life I had a Rubicon TJ and learned long ago that "good Rubicon Express springs" is an oxymoron. There are many manufactures of suspension components that just do not cut the proverbial mustard. Your WJ is easily 1,000 lbs heavier than a TJ and has a much larger payload capacity...

I like it. I will add how important I think it is to get our kids and grandkids out there. My grandsons are sadly, suburbanites. We get them out and off the grid at every opportunity and thankfully, they like it, a lot. If we are to preserve our lands we all need to work at exposing the next...

https://www.monroe.com.au/what-are-shocks/shock-absorbers-explained.html This is a very good read explaining what shocks actually do.

airbag suspension bags used on 18wheeler suspensions can and do last for well over 750,000 miles. However, they have almost 0 articulation and the airbags are at a constant pressure. They also cost about 150 a piece at discount houses. If you believe that different shocks will fix your...

I kinda get the airbag thing. Weaker spring rate with air bags will give a smoother ride when not loaded. But for me, I’ll take the stiff ride over compromising my adherence to the KISS methodology. Peace out

The first thing I would do if I were you is ditch those airbags and step up to the "heavy" rear springs . Believe me, for decades I have experimented with many different brands and styles of shock absorbers, springs etc. Different brands will give you different things. I seek a stable, sure...

Overland Journal is the "National Geographic" of overland adventure/camping magazines. I beg to differ about not enough coverage of North American. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since I subscribed nearly 4 years ago I have noticed that they always have at least one story that is located in...

agreed, we used to use big ass totes for everything. Had to pull them up and out and drag em around. It was way too easy to overload them. I've considered the cub and wolfpacks as I am a fan of Frontrunner products. How well do they keep the elements out when mounted up top?

I haven't really settled in on any particular brand of box. I have a Pelican case for my camera gear and am looking for another used one for my wife's camera gear. We also bolt an MTM Case-Gard to our roofrack to carry our hiking boots or the little buddy heater, depending on the time of year...

I'm a bit late to the party here, but have read all of the posts with amusement. What choice did the OP make? Steel or aluminum alloy? Oh no one mentioned the vast differences between cast alloy and forged alloy. If I had more money than I knew what to do with I'd be running forged alloys. As...
