that would work, the yoga pants aren't very thermal are they? That is what my wife wears a lot of the time

On our 2016 tour of the southwest least March we experienced a couple of nightime lows down to 11 degrees. Most nights it was getting down to the higher teens and low 20s. We had brand new Big Agnes 15 degree bags atop of cold weather pads atop our cots. We froze our butts off. After 3 nights...

Well yes, that was intense there in the photo, we were pointed up, way up, prolly a 9/12 gradient and way off camber, I took my time, thought it through, blocked the other three tires and applied the jacks.. one little mistake and it would have been a real mess !!

$25 for a floor jack? You're driving a $40k plus rig around and you're gonna trust a $25 floor jack? Find a good bottle jack that is short enough to fit under your axle. and get the tire lift attachment, (as shown above). for the highlift. I've been using both for a lot of years quite...

We are hooked on Andrew St Pierre White. The man is a masterful story teller, he has a great sense of humor, and he videos and photographs lots of scenery, wildlife, and culture, which are the three main reasons that we overland. However, moost viewers today have little patience for anything...

I have that file that I purchased from them. Unfortunately there is a lot, I mean a lot, of blacktop running. However, it is about as good as overlanding gets for the central Appalachians. There are a couple of nice remote camping spots in PA, WV, VA, NC, SC, TN etc, but not really any...

Worthington is the manufacturer. Found it at hardware store in Moab

We use the Mr Heater Portable Buddy, the small one and it keeps us nice and warm in our Jet Tent 25x, (8x15 approx) in 15 f overnights. I found this compact, short and squatty 5 lb Worthington bottle mounted with a slightly modified bottle rack from Frontrunner. 5 lbs will keep you warm for...

we use a real "chuck wagon" that stays at basecamp while we go exploring for the day..

Yeah, this time around they didn't even ask for my address, and the "story box" is nearly long enough to tell the full story of our rigs name.. I asked for MOAK II for our trailer. Our family is really enjoying the revival of a nearly 28 year old family joke.. Fortunately my wife is the artitic...

I might also add, stick with Australian brands.. They really know what they are doing with our trucks and the prices are very fair. Christo at Slee - Offroad, Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters, (or Man-A-Fre, whats left of them) are very good places that know our trucks very well. What works, and what...

I'm trying to get one for my son, the sight has changed a lot. Is it still possible to customize your own acronym?

Lots of day hiking and an overnighter backpacking. Bobby's Hole depends on the weather. We always check with the local guys to see if it is passable. Here's a short vid of us exiting Bobby's Hole with trailer in tow. My son is in the stock 80 series, no lockers, so the Hill is not all that...

WRT - April 9-10-11, Horsehoof - 13-14-15-16. The only downfall to going at this time is the Easter Jeep Safari. Moab, in town and the BLM trails will be a complete zoo. We should be ok on the WRT and Horsehoof is very remote. We, been there late April/early May and that is a great time...

Please help me out here,, I've been using Old Man Emu suspension systems for nearly 2 decades now on only two different vehicles. In each case well over 100,000 miles were put on them and the shocks were still in great shape. Both of the suspensions were priced at right around $900 which is not...

I'm going to further this discussion, quite possibly into the arena of anal retentiveness, but here goes. I always get new BFGs every 50 thousand miles and usually have plenty of tread left on the old set. This time the old set had 9/32nds of tread left, the set before these, the old ones had...

As it says, with a slight detour down to Petrified National Park for a few nights of backpacking. The only "etched in stone" dates are our reservations on the WRT for 3 nights, then 4 nights down in the Needles, which, not by chance are our first two destinations. It's going to be especially...

Just got ours, re-ordered it in February, 3 weeks later it's here[emoji41][emoji1360] Now I don't know where to put it.. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

A couple of days ago we got 16" of snow. Finally a bit of winter. I usually park our rig on the west side of our barn, about 50 yards off the road. I warmed up the rig, dropped into low, locked all fours, and walked right outta there without even breaking traction.. my neighbor was amazed as he...

Ouch,, my first wife was not too into camping either. In her opinion a great vacation meant outstanding room service.. Good luck brother.. :)
