I've spent a lot of time up there in the Rapid City area in the last few years. That's a sleeper of a town, cruising right under a lot of radars. Mountain Biking is great, the Rapid City Rush are a fantastic hockey team, Sanford's is a good place to get a beer, and the best Indian food I've ever...

Im in need of a new one too. Ive decided to hold off on a new camera, and instead pick up some better supporting equipment this year. New Tripod, monopod, and a few other things.

This is fantastic, I have four kids and every single week I make time for "Daddy-Daughter Time" and time with my boys. Its the most rewarding time of the week without exception.

This thread just totally cracked me up. If you go back and read the posts, its great. "Im running the BKM XX in a 315/95/22, and its hands down the best tire I've ever had. It cost more than the BFG/Falken/Hankook/etc, I find its a little loud, and it took 10MPG off my mileage, but its...

Kriek!!! One of the great secrets of Belgian beer. Nice selections and it looks like a fun weekend.

The rear bumpers are really pricey as you pointed out, however this is a. the size, and b. the complexity. You generally replace a crossmember, and it will always require at least a little bit of fabricating on the rig itself. 4x4labs has a good kit that comes pre cut for about 450, however you...

That kinda looks like an REI Hobitat. Nice camp site.

Very nice. The Headgasket is a ain that only comes once hopefully. I like the creative rack, very cool.

Thats exactly what I do. Im no AC expert, but I have a cool local mechanic who does the specialty work for me. When it comes to parts changing, Im more than qualified to spin a wrench. I changed my AC expansion valve, drier, all the O-rings and Valve cores (I actually had one leaking), and I...

Ive got waterstones for the really nice blades, (kitchen knives, chisels, plane blades) and I use a lansky as well for the field knives. Lately I've been struggling with technique on my truly sharp knives. I need to pick up a better rolling guide for the kitchen knives as I get a good edge on...

This is a great story. I love that you documented it like that. Fantastic. Sent from my iPad using Overland Bound Talk

This was pretty bad. We were 12,000 feet up on a "dry" lakebed called "Dasty Nawur" in Eastern Afghanistan, same as above, dry at the surface but soup underneath. The little dry layer didn't stand up 12,000 lbs of armored over landers and we were STUCK. The bad was that the folks that wanted to...

This is one of the best posts I've ever seen on this topic. I've read exhaustively on it trying to improve my own crappy captures, and I've never seen it described so well. Sent from my iPhone using Overland Bound Talk

To best of my knowledge, OEM have to be purchased individually. I bought these as a kit for metric applications. I go with OEM on all the hard parts, Denso for the most part. The kit was 12.00. Denso stuff runs about 20% more per item than whatever else is out there. I'll tell you though, the...

I was sitting down by the lake eating my lunch the other day and this guy pulled up next to me. With the exception of my roof rack and his running boards, our rigs are carbon copies. Mine doesn't have quite as much "stink bug". He pulled up, took out a strange looking device, took, some...

Expansion valve, drier, all new O-rings, drive belt, and new valve cores. Looking for nice cool air this summer. Sent from my iPad using Overland Bound Talk

If you live in the south, you know why I'm so happy to have these delivered on a Saturday [emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Overland Bound Talk

This is great, after I fix this annoying whine in the back end of my rig, my next big project is some power distro all throughout. How did you run the juice back?

I fixed my windshield Washers. The booster that feeds the rear washer nozzle is either clogged or broken, so the fluid was just spraying out under the hood. I cut the end off the hose, bypassed the rear, and connected the hose directly to the hood connections. They now work better than they ever...

We go down there about once a year, though this year it looks like it might not be in the cards. Something I havent seen mentioned is WIND. The last two trips we took the wind was blowing in excess of 30 knots most of the time we were there. Its a contingency to prepare for, without a doubt. My...
