    Mojave Road

    http://www.mojave-road.com/mojave-road-maps.htm I found these very useful. It has the trail plus every other trail or road you will come across. It's broken down to 19 individual sections of the trail. The print layout is in a 8.5 x 14

    Lifting my '02 Durango

    The original manufacturer stopped making them awhile back and it appears some one else took over. I found this on ebay a while back. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-2011-Dodge-Dakota-Steel-Differential-Drop-Brackets-Kit-4WD-4x4-PRO/253716468911?hash=item3b12ae14af:g:7BsAAOSwK5Fb~clf:rk:3:pf:0...

    Lifting my '02 Durango

    Thanks. I don't do any hard trails. Hardest I've done so far was a moderate rock garden. The rear axle set up took me a good weekend. Tricky part was getting the rear lifted enough to reinstall the leaf springs on top. Some things I had to improvise last minute. As far as the front goes, I...

    Lifting my '02 Durango

    I kinda wish I took some before and after pics but here it is Now. If you notice, the sway bar is gone. Where it was mounted before are now the shock mounts, with a section of steel channel. New leaf spring perches will need to be installed on top of the axle and I was able to use the original u...

    Lifting my '02 Durango

    How Rare... Another Durango Rig. I 'm not sure what the factory ride height is in the front, but I think I've managed almost a three inch lift by just cranking the stock torsion keys. But they are towards the limits. I'm not sure how much your bumper set up weighs but that might be a factor. I'm...

    Spring is coming, how many buying new tires?

    I've ben running BFG MT2's. I came across them on craigslist in really good condition for a great price. I've been with them for two and a half years. And they are starting to show their age. Considering that most of my trips are from maintained dirt roads to the occasional rock garden, my next...

    Wok vs Scottle

    I would like to get a skottle but I just can't justify the price to get one. Currently I'm just using a two burner Coleman plus a hikers stove (mini isobutene burner). When I was younger I remember we had a plow disk fryer and cooked just about everything in there. I'm always keeping my eye out...

    Are you a day tripper, Weekender, Weeker, Full Timer?

    A weekend warrior here also. Mostly day trips and overnighters through out the year. And maybe a week long trip once a year. I'm hoping to make a trip to the parks in southern Utah early spring.

    Ground, Cot or Air Mattress: Make and model please.

    My outings are usually one nighters and solo trips on the weekends. I will normally carry a cot and a two person pup tent, along with a sleeping bag and pad. I like the comfort of a cot but find it too large to setup inside most tents. But depending on the area and time of year, I will sleep on...

    Cast Iron or No? (weight right now is not an issue for me)

    At home or the outdoors, Cast Iron. Just last weekend I got myself a dutch oven. Used it a couple times over the stovetop to cook some eggs in the morning. Gonna get out this weekend and take a shot at the Mountain Man Breakfast for sunday morning.
