    New To Us D5: Impressions and Comparisons to LR3

    Nice trip report and I love a disco but come on now. Almost 2” less ground clearance as a stock jeep with 32s, so about the same as an Outback. No lockers or transfer case so limited to only where an Outback could go. Not close to the same thing off road, it cannot go the same places as a stock...

    NPS fines AWD owners…

    My experience with my wrangler rubicon and f150 on difficult terrain was I used 4 lo mostly for long steep slippery descents (like in the rain) where consequences were not something you wanted to dwell on. Definitely kept the braking to a minimum. Sometimes on climbs which were very steep and...

    JK Roof Racks

    Some aren’t pure gutter mount, they use the rear window hinge mounting point.

    NPS fines AWD owners…

    Yes, the definition is pretty straightforward, thanks for fining it BRit! I looked into this when applying for my white rim road pass. Made perfect sense to me considering the time involved to drag a vehicle out of there. Also in DV on some parts IIRC. Subaru needs a 4lo box like they had years...

    Four Days along northern California's Lost Coast

    Awesome trip, report, and photos. Truly the lost coast. Definitely wish I had done this while on the west coast.

    Transamerica and such

    Thanks! The Jeep is my daily driver now working away from home in Georgia. I will try to find some pics of the set up. I strongly recommend any one who can to do the TAT. Pretty much all of it can be done in any 4wd vehicle and a lot of it in 2wd with some clearance. It is not super...

    Hunting Boots

    True. Maybe not to everyone’s liking but a super quality boot 100% American and they will match up to 90% of most hunters needs. All day comfort? Probably as good as anyone else’s claim. What handful of cheap overseas boots would you say meet the thorny brush and snake infested rocks criteria...

    Hunting Boots

    The only truly 100% made in America boot. Every single piece is mined, grown, tanned, cut, sown etc by folks in America on machines in America. https://originusa.com/collections/boots?pf_t_boot_type=Everyday Quite the success story of bringing manufacturing back to America.

    RTT on full size truck, lifted Jeeps, etc...how are you handling deployment and covers? Carry second ladder? Only buy a hard shell?

    As far as a mattress if you go the topper route the best way to go is memory foam on Amazon. I have made several. I find 6” to be the minimum for me placed on a hard floor. 8” is better. A 4” full size or twin can be cut in half length ways if all you need is a narrow single. The options are...

    Ford 10 speed with regear anyone done it yet

    With the same tires you will have about a 31% increase in rpm’s going to 4.88. You can make a guesstimate based on final rpm’s based on difference in the actual tires on the truck (as measured) and the tires you buy (as measured and under load). I say as measured because there is huge...

    Need ideas to carry motorcycle and bikes at speed. Off-road capable.

    Many times. It was a sarcastic reply to ozarkers remarks.

    My Journey

    I have been back and forth across the country a number of times in the last few years, always taking less traveled routes as time permits. Mostly more southern routes in az, co, nm, tx, ok. My curiosity is always peaked when I see an abandoned homestead and my mind wanders thinking of the who’s...

    Mexican 1000

    Great video and a great time! I knew nothing about the safari class and that puts a Baja 1000 trip as a possibility for some of us! Thanks!

    1999 Land Rover Discovery - Project Disco (re)Deux

    Yes, I had a 96 and it was one of my favorite vehicles! But once I passed about 120k it was getting expensive to keep! Enjoy!

    1999 Land Rover Discovery - Project Disco (re)Deux

    Nice build! Hope it doesn’t abandon you like Raleigh did to the Roanoke colony. Dropped them off and didn’t come back for 5 years. They disappeared in the meantime.
