I have the Marlin 1895 ABL (45-70) and love it. Some of the Buffalo Bore loads are exactly what the Dr ordered in Bear Country. I figure if its good enough for a Bull Elephant, then anything I could possibly encounter, is handled. Hard to argue with a 405gr pill at 2k fps.

I want to thank everyones feedback. Crazy its been 4 years. Well we ended up having the family minivan die & my wife convinced me that for now the Honda Pilot was the right choice. We've been in the pilot almost 4 years now (crazy how time flies) have 2 more kids and its cramped. But...

Do we know if these are setup with a US Distributor yet?

I have 5 kids and a large dog, so I understand the need for space in a tent. Honestly like anything else, its a balance of Time/Size/Value. I have 1 large 2 Room/10 Person Tent for if I'm going to be in one place any length of time. For anything less, its 2 smaller tents for me. I've got a...

Nice gear guys. Thanks for sharing.

While in the wilds I always have a firearm on me. Am I paranoid? No, I'm not worried about anything, but I've planned as much as is possible. Further I've been stalked by mountain lions on at least 3 separate incidents. So I'm cautious. I also have my children with me and on two occasions...

Since I just talked the wife into a GX this made me VERY happy.

I've lusted for an FJC for the longest time. Buddy just bought one and knowing they are being phased out I wept a little. Now with all my kiddos though I'm more in Land Cruiser Territory than anything else. These next decade will see a huge change in automotive options on the road based on...

Drooling for both of these trailers. Wow. Lucky buys and good work put into them.

Biggest wish is I wish I'd bought mine 1 size larger...

Just a few thoughts - I am still working up to the hundreds of mile trips like many on this forum but I do a lot of remote location based camping i.e. 4x4 in - 4x4 out. One element you're going to be competing with is the Wal-Mart campers and not all of it is wrong. Anything you can use for...

This is a thing of beauty man. Seriously great work. I'll be honestly you've got far more skills than I do, which makes me nervous about undertaking the same project. But man - its inspiring. Love seeing those old Jeeps on the trail.

Does anyone make engine mounts that go from a waggy to a Chevy small block?

So I found a local Wagoneer for sale - guy is asking $500 :Wow1: Suspicions are raised curiosity is piqued. Its sitting on 33"s but they are chewed up bad, no engine, transfer case, transmission or steering column. BUT the body is in great shape, clean. The paints not even that bad...

I love my 96 XJ - its my trail beater and my DD. I love it and its brought me a lot of joy, but admittedly my commute is 60 miles round trip every day - 5 days a week. The gas is killing me and frankly it makes it less enjoyable to plan to hit the trails. Its no fun. And frankly this looks...
