    Rescue Near the Coke Ovens (Arizona) needed

    No kidding. I was thinking that if I were in a similar situation, I'd reverse the priority of the items: 1. Beer 2. Hamburgers 3. Fuel

    Anybody use the Wedco Oil Drain Container?

    I can tell you this. If EE carries it, it's top quality and a reasonable price.

    Storage Solutions

    Very nice setup. I really like the quality of the build and the side panels that provide additional storage. Every time I see this style I like it. I couldn't go the same route due to the extra storage the Pajero/Montero has below the deck, but I've managed to work around it and keep the...

    educate an east coaster on carne asada

    Carne Asada is typically skirt steak. Marinate for several hours in your favorite recipe. Then grill quickly over very, very hot coals. You want to sear the beef so that there's a nice, thin crust, but not too long or you'll overcook it. Bank your coals and go 2-3 layers high so that the heat is...

    Keeping warm in the tent

    In the tent, I use a good 0* sleeping bag. I have yet to get cold using it in cold weather. Outside the tent, good outer layers including hat and gloves, and maybe the occasional camp fire.

    Front Locker Question

    So, that's my plan too. Only when absolutely necessary. So, can I use it to gain traction when I'm slipping and then disengage it as soon as I gain momentum? I.e., can I disengage it while moving or do I need to stop again? Binding in the steering is what led to my question about tie rods...

    Front Locker Question

    Thanks, Roger, for the advice. So, I don't think that there's any aftermarket tie rods, but they're not that expensive and they don't look that hard to replace if I carry the right tools (outer ones anyway). So, if I have any issue with these, I'm certainly hoping it's the outer tie rods and...

    Front Locker Question

    I can see how an LSD would be better. But, I don't think I can get one for my truck without modifying a whole lot. The ARB is direct fit for my truck, so I decided on that. Curious, where did you source an LSD for your front axle?

    Partner stove ?

    Martyn, It's possible that this won't work. On a recent trip, the regulator that came with my stove started leaking. So, not knowing it was a high pressure regulator and due to the fact that I needed something while on the road, I went to Home Depot and bought a standard low-pressure...

    Front Locker Question

    I'm adding a front locker next week and I want to plan ahead (carry spares) for any issues with my CV shafts and tie rods. So, assuming I'm careful about not trying to steer with the locker engaged, or using the locker with the wheels turned, can I still expect issues with tie rods and CV...
