Yeti Spagetti - Guard dog, sign translator, co-pilot.

@Vader_Runner, I just ran this route solo this past weekend, 5/26-28. The Route is very good and I had no issues, other than the occasional tree down, etc. Did get to see black bear, fox, porcupine, bald eagle, and too many deer. Although, more deer on the trip home than on the trail. Thank you...

Hey neighbor! Rig's lookin good! Hope to see you around town and on the trail!

Only had 5 speeds on all my Toyota’s until I got the ‘98 runner, the ‘06 I have now is also an auto. As far as gearing on the others, likely stock,I never changed anything on them but they were both used. Currently I am running General Grabber AT2’s 275/65-18’s and have been very happy with...

Likely a dead thread but... Search "topo maps" in iOS app store, used this past weekend in Manistee National Forest and they were very accurate, can record your track and have several different layers and a good legend. I used USDA topo on my galaxy tablet and they too were quite accurate with...

Hit a porcupine in the U.P. Of Michigan one night, in our car (a porcupine quill is an amazing tire flattening device.) on the same road that we were pretty excited to see a black bear earlier that day. I know black bears aren’t too aggressive and would likely avoid any contact. We just made...

I never had an issue with the 3.0, I know they have a reputation but I personally had no issues. It had over 150k on it and I drove it home from AK to IN and then more than a few times to the UP (1100 mi round trip). You won't have a problem turning the larger tires, I don't remember much power...

I gotta say, this is one BA rig! Had an '87 and an '84, the '87 was bone stock but fully capable. The '84 was originally a show rig lifted an ungodly amount that I do not remember but had either 33" or 35"s on it. The bed which had hydraulics when I bought it was a huge pile of rust so I...

Yep, looks like a Boy Scout Patrol box, exactly what we have. No fancy fold out shelving though but as bassfishindoc stated, ours too weigh a ton. Nice job!! I really like the side shelves for the stoves. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I have always found it kind of odd that with all the safety equipment that automakers are required to put on vehicles these days that, a fire ext. isn't part of those requirements. I know the argument from manufacturers would be something like "we don't want to scare people into thinking our...

I get it! My ol' 97 hardbody has been through the ringer but when my son is leading or following me, it makes me miss the fact that it just doesn't matter when you bump a tree, get too close to a big branch and it creases the bed (one more time), he's like"did you see this or see that? And I say...

Who's laughing? if it gets you there and back with a memory in between, it's well worth it! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

got me number today! 7523 Thanks!

ahhh, maybe no rhyming BUT, the verb husband means to economize, spend frugally; so technically you are using Jeep husbandry... I know this makes little to no sense...

They are less than two hours away for me and my daughter lives in Indy so, I would be remiss if I didn't at least stop in... But I like your idea!

Yeah, I think I'm gonna try that rental thing before I take the plunge... Thanks for all your awesome pics and posts.

I was just looking at those! If you decide that it is getting lonely during the part of the year you're not using it.... hint, hint, wink, wink, nod, nod, nudge, nudge.....

An overland group in the Hoosier land? How freaking cool! Good luck with the new one on the way and I would be down for a meet up in the spring.
