    [CA] DeWALT 1/2'' 18V XRP Li-Ion High Torque Impact Wrench Kit

    This product is brand new and still in the original box with the original manufacturer's seal. The lithium Ion battery technology is much better than the Ni-Cad with a much longer battery life and light weight. These are becoming a very popular tool to keep in the rig. The DCF059KL Features...

    2011-08-20 thru 21 San Jacinto Mountain Backpack Trip

    On day 2 we explored the ridge line where we were camping on the north rim of the amphitheater. After doing some exploring and seeing some really cool stuff we headed back to camp to grab our already packed backpacks to head down the mountain. On the way down we saw more beautiful views and ran...

    2011-08-20 thru 21 San Jacinto Mountain Backpack Trip

    As Gon2srf mentioned several times during the trip, this will be one of those weekends that we will remember for the rest of our lives. The weather was perfect, the views amazing, and the camp site never fails to impress. Here are some pictures from our trip. The colors up there were amazing...

The repeater that we have been using coverers most of the greater LA area, and Inland Empire Area. It also reaches pretty far south into Temecula. The repeater we use is the Keller...

    Ollie's "BugEater" Build

    My rear LED flashers finally bought the farm so I've been looking to replace them with something. A few weeks ago I orderd some white LED light pods to use for rock lights. Upon receiving the lights I discovered that they were flashers instead of lights that stay on. So using four of the six I...

    Here's a link to the video I got of my air horns in the snow. We were trying to shake the snow off the trees. It didn't work though. Turn up the volume on your computer. YouTube - BugEater Horns in Snow.MP4

    Ollie's "BugEater" Build

    I have been hearing some noises in, what I thought was, my suspension over the last month or so. I was all set to go the TDS Safari with my family last Saturday but the sound turned into something more severe and I cancelled the trip. Turns out that my rear driveshaft forward U-Joint is shelled...

    Ollie's "BugEater" Build

    You are very correct sir and he is on his second rendition of suspension too. Nothing Thong does to his rig is normal either. Everything is modified in some way or another. He can't just stick with normal coils, he calls the manufacturer and had them designed and cut to a specified length. He...

    Ollie's "BugEater" Build

    TR, You make some very valid points here. The gas mileage does start to dwindle at some point and I will admit that I cringe at how often I have to pull up to a pump. A lot of my changes are now based on weight. Kind of like ultra-light backpacking. I have found ways to reduce weight while...

    Ollie's "BugEater" Build

    Good question...:) That varies too... Are we talking items ever bought and put on the rig or items currently on the rig? Most of us have went through many trials and tribulations in our builds. The most modded and sic rig I have yet to encounter, not including UberFJ because that's not fair...

    Ollie's "BugEater" Build

    I want to make it back there with my rig to show my Grandfather before it's too late. My mom comes out to wheel with me and camp a few times a year. She always brings on other family member in rotation so they all get a taste. I'm from Grafton and went to school in Geneva. My sister and her...

    Ollie's "BugEater" Build

    Some people have been asking how I mounted the cases on my rack. Here's a shot of how I have secured them. There is one clamp at each of the four corners of each box. Then I got my hands on some very high quality padlocks to secure the boxes with. On the inside of the box I used fender washers...
