    Replacing side windows - HJ75

    I'd say using the windows for a pattern onto steel would be your best bet. Aluminum would be even better. Get it the same thickness as the window and it should swap right in. Easy to cut too.

    Flippac + Snow = I need your experience

    I can't see how a flip open RTT would be any better than a flipac at storing it when wet. It still folds on itself and if you don't get it dry then everything inside will be wet as well. The rain fly on the flippac is just like a good tent. Easily removable so the tent can be stored dry and...

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    allot of people say that if you have a winch it only gets you stuck further in! Your write ups are stellar and for people less adventursome than you they are great! A full fledged book on your travels would be great!

    Sub-Compact Overlander

    for the samurai I found the biggest suck was the small gas tank. A petroworks tank will cure that. I have used OME springs, BDS springs, stock with spring over and finally the best ride was Jeep YJ springs with a kit fromt Trailtough. you can leave it spring under and use some lift springs if...

    1980 creger 4x4 rv

    I saw one of those around here lately. I have always been a fan of late 70's fords. The 400m gets a back rep due to low compression and crappy cams. Do a search on google for 400m and see what you find. Some simple upgrades (or a complete rebuild) will get you a stump puller of a motor. That...
