Very slick and cost effective to just use a good commercial quality sheet pan. Nice work!

Oh I’m familiar with UV breaking down ropes, but under a year worth of intermittent use shouldn’t generally deteriorate the jacket to this extent. Heck if falls don’t retire our BW 2 11mm rescue ropes early we generally hit the ten year mark and retire them due to age. I use BW 3mm niteline on...

Put my batwing up last weekend so the kids could roast some marshmallows over our propane fire pit camping in the side yard. This is not a complaint, more of an update on longevity. I installed my batwing in 2016 and it’s at well over 200 nights camped/deployed at this point some of which were...

She made the nearly 1600 mile round trip journey to the 45th parallel without issue. The toddlers have officially dubbed it the “bluey truck” and throughly enjoyed the commanding view that they had over mom and dad from the rear seat between the LR elevation and their child seats.

Pumping fresh fluids into the truck for our trip north tomorrow.

Spent a few quality hours rewiring my dash/security cameras, a few extra always on USB outlets and my fridge. I also removed the factory subwoofer to allow keeping the fridge in the truck facing rear for easy access. Sadly the trip to Ontario got cancelled as uscis never approved my wife’s...

Have to work, y’all have fun!

Well as usual small tasks tend to ballon, replacement of my catalyst after the attempted theft had left me with a minor exhaust leak. The next oil change I tried to “snug up” a loose collector bolt which of course turned it into a major exhaust leak. Rather than try an repair it under the truck...

Just daily driving the rover for a few weeks while I prep it to head back to Ontario in October. Changed the oil, got the tires rotated and balanced, and started planning out some accessory outlets to install prior to the trip to power fans and iPads for the toddlers.

Fridge is an ARB 50qt running essentially continuously for 7 or 8 years now. First in my FJ with solar on the hood, now on my rover with similar but slightly larger panels (2x55w) on the hood. Battery is an off the shelf AGM from batteries plus, solar charge controller is a victron 75/10 which...

Off work for a week, and the discovery is getting a new radiator, cam and crank position sensors, new cats (thieves suck) and some new horns before winter.

They are Crofton brand, have been working well on our induction cooktop at the house. Have seasoned up nicely making breakfast on them daily.

Wife found 8”, 10”, and 12” carbon steel pans from aldi this week for $34 out the door for all three. She’d been wanting to try them in place of my cast iron for some dishes, I’m looking forward to using them on trips.

Played school bus driver, picked up 3 coworkers who weren’t equipped for the sheet of ice some of the local roads have become and brought them into work.

I loved my rhino rack on my FJ, so much so that I moved it to my disco.

Rover ware has a great kit I got to replace all my breathers, the transfer case is equipped but I’ve only done my rear axle this far due to the plugged up banjo fitting I found that was allowing pressure to build in the axle. http://www.roverware.us/extended-breather-wading-kit/

Here are what I’ve considered the bare essentials for a while. Where specified they are reliable, affordable within reason, and ubiquitous which helps keep them from growing legs of their own. 1. Fiskars Long Handled Shovel Steel Round Point 2. Fiskars 375581-1001 Chopping Axe, 28-Inch 3...

Lookin good!

I have a coleman folding oven I picked up a few years ago, works great on a camp stove. Did take a little trial and error to find muffin, loaf, and cake pans that fit in it properly.
