I've spent the last 6 years refining our trailer. Knowing what I know now, I could build one up in a few days. It follows us wherever we go. It's in the barn right now, packed and ready to roll, and it's light, therefore we still get 13 to 14 mpg . It hauls our cold food, has running tap water...

Unbelievable... That poor gal obviously had very little if any experience. Once a spotter starts yelling, or giving imperceivable hand signals it's time to "get out and look" then find a polite way to tell them to go away.. Over the decades I've done just that on more than a few occasions.

Keep working on it, I'm in for the long haul. I logged out of the forums then into the two way blog to no avail.. patience donkey, patience

Howdy.. I cannot seem to post up any comments in the comment section after viewing any of the videos... It basically kicks me out.. or sends me to a non-existent page... any ideas?

No,, there is not.... eveer since I owned a 40 back in the late 70's I always wanted another LC.. bought the 80 nearly 3 years ago after a decade of attempting to make the Rubi cruiser like, sold the Rubi and will never look back.. 80s kick it..

what's wrong with you?? there is no "w" in Choda .. :)

They are very few and far between, but they do exist. Unbelievable as it may seem, Maine has one of the largest and most remote back country areas in the lower forty eight. There are also a couple of areas for remote camping in the Appalachians. and some of the barrier islands. Once you wander...

that my friend is a dream machine for me... have fun and take good care of your 550

[ and here is one of our most recent campsites at Elephant Tusk in Big Bend

Here is my rig in all it's glory on the way to Horsehoof Campsite. The list of upgrades is very long so I'll just stop at "expo rig".. fortunately we are locked up fore, aft, and center....

Many many years ago we bought a pair of inexpensive bags from LL Bean. They served us very well, and still do, but as they are both rated at 35+ degrees. I thought it high time to invest in a pair of really really good bags as we were planning this southwest tour in March and early April.. After...

Hmmm,, I read those 10 commandments years ago and I still read most all of the articles. Practical advise for North American over landers? Not always, but it's not much different than JP, Toyota, or 4wd magazines targeting the gear head demographic. All those highly modded rigs featured in those...

Absolutely true... My son worked on a crabbing vessel ( Arctic Lady) in the Bering Sea for 4 years.. Line of choice was Amsteel Blue, which is a Dyneema line.. Impervious to UV, salt, etc etc. don't ever cheap out on winch line. Stick with quality, pay the price.. Amsteel Blue or Viking are...

Tomorrow morning this time we will be on the road headed west south west for a 6 to 8 week tour. I posted up our itinerary in another section of these forums if interested and once our reservations are completed in Canyonlands we are free to wander anywhere we choose.. If I ever decide to...

I've run nothing but BFG for over 25 years. and 3 vehicles. After hundreds of thousands of miles and plenty of 2 track, I experienced only a single failure, a too long valve stem was pinched by a rock and ripped out, which was not a tire failure. I abide by a few rules,, 34-36psi on the road...

Getting real anxious now, trailer is packed and ready to roll. Say there Ironpercheron, thats pretty cool you named yourself after a breed of drafthorse.... I wonder how many folks get that?

Minnesota unfortunately equals rust bucket.. otherwise he could ask for and get over twice his asking price easily..

that's good to know, but i did go out and get a big ass wooden axe for splitting,, the new fiskars is mounted in the cruiser.... It's a shame that chrysler didn't do the same or I'd be driving a JKU Rubicon today... but that's another story, unless "gear review" can be about vehicles as gear...

Yesterday I got up. Early, 4:30 or so,, Made a pot of coffee, then went out to the barn and got a fire going.. went back in the house until the barn warmed up a bit, then spent the rest of the day removing my home made drawer system in order to beef the drawers up a bit. They used to rattle a...

UPDATE :::::: :::::: I'm very impressed,,, When I filed the claim I stated that the axe was purchased some 10+ years ago, and because of my job had just recently started using it regularly.. Hey,, guess what? Fiskars sent me a brand new X11 17" axe/hatchet, no charge, no questions asked...
