Sounds like an awesome event; unfortunately, I have previous plans with the Boy Scouts that weekend. Hopeful for next time!

Saw this today at the Julington-Durbin Preserve in Jacksonville, FL.

Went with the mud terrains (MT01) instead in 295/70R17 on 8.5” wheels Currently have just shy on 1000 miles on the set. The tires balanced with minimal weight for a tire in this size and are very quiet at this stage. One road trip of ~300 miles to go wheeling. They performed very well in mud...

Saw something on Facebook concerning a Georgia Traverse scheduled for Feb 15-19, 2019, but Facebook decided to refresh before I could finish the post. I’m not finding it listed here though I did find a Traverse set for this Fall and subscribed to that thread. While I like the temperatures better...

I’m using an old plastic tool box that has hinged lid like a tackle box. Being plastic, it will retain any leaks and serve to provide some protection for the contents. It will hold a gallon container of oil as well as two quarts and a quart of ATF. Additionally, several small repair-type items...

Many of us have reached the age or have had an illness where we take medications. On occasion, I am prescribed something that comes in a larger than standard container. My favorites are the containers that are a bit over 5” tall. It will fit enough items to cover basic needs with the bonus of...

For hiking, I’ve had great luck with Vasque Breeze boots, the waterproof versions. I had a pair of first generation ones and when they wore out, replaced them with a third generation pair. I won a pair of Keen Durand Waterproof Mids and enjoy using them for Scout camping and when offroading...

Thanks for the link. From the article: Construction of the tread comprises of six plies: two steel, two polyester, and two polyamide. Sidewalls are two ply polyester. Our test set sports an E load range with a maximum load rating of 3,195 pounds at 65 psi. Tread sounds good, but I’m none too...

After looking at several Sites, including Falken’s own (http://www.falkentire.com/tires/light-truck-suv-cuv-tires/wildpeak/t3w-tire), I haven’t been able to find information on the number of plies for both the tread as well as the sidewall. The listed weight seems a bit lighter than I’d expect...

I have friends with a fairly heavily modified Jeep YJ who always ran All Terrains. Most everyone else was on aggressive rock/mud tires. When I asked why they chose a less aggressive tire, their explanation made excellent sense: Less aggressive tread equals less traction. They figured that...

Previously, I used a hardwired QuickAir, but when I failed after 12 years, I went to a portable one that connects via clips to the battery. My thought was if someone other than I needed air, I could connect to their battery which could also be helpful if I couldn’t get my vehicle to theirs like...

I visit my folks in Mathews County about once a month from April through October. Depending on when the date falls, I’ll sure make the effort to be there, even if only for the day.

Looking to do a little long-range planning... I visit my folks in Mathews County about once a month from April through October. Wondering whether or not a 2018 schedule has been set or if there is a set schedule for the meets: Something like the third Saturday or whatever. I usually have some...

Saw this poster explaining the likelihood of a bear attack while at a Boy Scout camp in New Mexico this summer.

Am considering removing the ‘Trail Rated’ medallion from my Jeep and replacing it with the OB one.
