    Recovery technique if your car breaks ice and falls through frozen lake!

    Comrades, eh? Have to leave that one alone for now (lol), but the water in that vehicle definitely added to the weight, even though that's an ingenious contraption/recovery technique! Something to be said for necessity being the mother of invention or something like that I suppose. Thanks for...

    small portable air suggestions

    I've got one of the Viair units. I almost chose the MV50, and think it would have met all my needs to date, but ultimately decided that I didn't want to hassle with some of the potential issues others have mentioned. The tradeoff IMO - at least for me - was reliability/longevity. Sounds like...

    Maxtrax vs TRED vs Tracmats vs X-Trax vs X-Jack

    So, am going to throw these two other options on here for feedback.

In comparison, the MKII Maxtrax...

    First Utah trip (Maze and Cedar Mesa)

    For some reason the vids don't work - "invalid parameters". Thanks for sharing your trip. Need to get back to that area. TRs are great inspiration for that for some reason.

    Any suggestions for a legless vehicle awning?

    Very nice - if you don't mind how much was it? I've been looking for an awning, and this looks like it just might work perfectly. Thanks!

    My 1998 100 Series Build Thread

    Very clean install - looks very functional. Like the bike rack too - and just as you wrote, there really is no other way on these rigs.

    Finding the Goods in the Utah Desert

    Great weekend to be out in the desert. We were over by the Swell and the temps and scenery couldn't have been better. Just hope we have similar weather this next weekend. Thanks for setting the pace!

    Our first trip to Moab from my 9yo's perspective

    What a great write-up! Gives the trip a very unique perspective. You certainly covered a lot of ground - amazing really. The trees in the washes and creeks in southern Utah are beautiful in the fall. And I'd have to agree on HITR - that road shakes the fillings out of teeth! Thanks for...

    Wagon Wheel: Retracing My Pioneer Family's Roots

    You certainly covered a lot of ground! Great story and nice pics. Piedmont? I had to look that up. Every time I've been to Golden Spike the last few years, it's always been on two wheels (roadie).
