    My dad and I usually try to take a trip once a year that's about a week long or so and explores whatever we can access in that time. This year we decided to do the NMBDR but due to the weather forecast and my experience on the southern portion of the NMBDR trying to make progress we decided to...

    Don't forget medical gear at home (GRAPHIC CONTENT)

    Was working on my new CJ5 project out in the garage trying to cut the horribly built front bumper/winch setup off. While cutting an upright on the bullbar the grinder (with cut off wheel) got caught and it ripped it out of my hands and fell to my shin. It cut me quite deep and the bleeding...

    Budget Battery Chainsawin' (20V B&D Chainsaw)

    Initial review of the Black and Decker 10 inch 20V lithium saw. I really didn't want to deal with another fuel can of a different type of fuel for something that rarely gets used and typically for short instances. My previous setup was to simply pack my 110v saw and run it off of my inverter...

    Modular Storage system

    I'll be building a modular storage system for the XJ. Here is part of the first part. I didn't want it to go the top of the seat, just to the top of the wheel wells so when the other parts are added to it sleeping will not be a big deal. This should give me plenty of in box storage for daily...

Got a weekend free and clear of the wife and kids (though my daughter usually goes on stuff like this with me) so decided to go knock out another leg of it since it wouldn't take more than a day trip to...
