    So we made it to Beef Basin a couple weeks ago. (see above for when we attempted in winter and got shut down by snowy roads) It was our 25th wedding anniversary (on the Solstice), so we did this trip sans 'kids'. Really interesting and remote area. ~100 mi from Moab, with ~45+mi of mild off...

    Next Gen Quigley 4x4 Transit Coming?

    Maybe a more production-level version of the Van Compass 1-off (and a bit more 'tame') IMO - Gotta loose that giant underbite bumper on the Quigley.

    Volkswagen Vanagon 4x4 Conversion.

    Welcome to Boulder! (I live in Louisville) Must be culture shock if you came from one of the poorest counties in Ohio! Vanagons are beautiful and fickle beasts. They are tough as nails in some regards, and fragile as your grandmas china in others (that Syncro tranny is $cary). I know there...

    Transit Opinions Appreciated

    Someone above mentioned 33's on an AWD Transit. I'm not sure you can fit a tire that big without cutting metal. One of the limitations that would hinder the offroady-ness... 31"s should go easy, 32"s (?not sure) As far as MPG - I've read the same thing with the ecoboost, that is that they...
