    Bang!

    Little celebration for the first deer of the season!:) About a 200 yard shot, .308 Winchester silvertip, from my tree lounger climbing stand. Shot left just below shoulder, passed through to right, also right below shoulder. Climbed down and found him in the woods, maybe 50 yards from the...

    Bow for deer

    Great idea Jerry. And yes I agree the only goal is to hit something. I am amazed at all the tech stuff that is available for a bow. To each his own I guess. Thanks for the stump idea. John

    USMC style Expo

    Ever since I have been jeeping I have thought that process needs to be the other way around. When you see what some guys have done to their jeeps (and all other kids of rigs), all by themselves, in their garages... with no kits, no plans, etc.... I always think that some things ought to...

    USMC style Expo

    Looks like my beloved Corps has been lurking here on the Expo site :smiley_drive: http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/article/20140924/NEWS04/309240077/Marine-Corps-develops-new-equipment-built-Osprey?sf31587048=1 Cool stuff and makes sense to me considering the electronic support used on todays...

    AEV Brute: The Ultimate Overlander?

    I stand with this comment. Wrangler plus trailer built out for whatever your need of the trailer is about as good as you will get and for less than this rig. Again, as has been said I suppose that depends on how you are going to use it and what you call overlanding. Sure is sweet looking...

    Bow for deer

    Thanks Jerry. Tonight I took "bold" steps. I removed the quiver (stupid to mount on the bow itself in my opinion) and the sights. See I learned to shoot (as bad as I am) on my home made self bow... no sights, just a nock (sp?) and a rest. Result? Better consistency. Sight by focusing on...

    2012 Black Forest Green JKUR

    I love the pallet picture:Wow1: Primarily I like it because I showed it to my wife and said, "see, I don't have a jeep problem... THIS is a jeep problem" Who knew you were a marriage counselor :-) Best luck to you on your build. Beautiful jeep. John

    Bow for deer

    Hey guys. I did pick up and older Bear compound. Just got a good enough deal on it to go with it rather than what I first had in mind. I have been following the advice of practicing and am good right now in a 10" circle out to 15 yards. May or may not hunt with it this year but am having a...

    Mobile Base Camp Family Camper

    Awesome. Do you have an estimate of the finished weight? We have looked for a replacement for our Pop up and this is along the lines that we have thought about but never developed the idea... Thanks. John

    Winch help and decision

    I am not shopping for a winch, but that is a cool video! Shows the strength of the winch, mounting, cable, etc... nothing real world really but fun to watch :-)

    Mobile Base Camp Family Camper

    Can't say enough about it. Great work and fantastic idea. Are you working out of your head or did you draw up plans? Is the inside just for sleeping, ala a traditional teardrop, or is it big enough for seating, etc? Nice work. John

    are lockers necessary?

    In my opinion, lockers allow for less breakage, when you find yourself in an unexpectedly tough spot. Since you may not have to rely on momentum, you can crawl over things that may break your rig if you are using the throttle to get through. I have been locked front and rear. then open front...

    Smittybuilt rtt??

    My son has had a smitty bilt soft top on his jeep for the last 18 months or so... no problems, great quality, great zippers (much better than stock) and good plastic. I see a lot of hating on smittybilt but my experience with them has been good. I do understand the wanting to buy American, but...
