Stock height is 77.7".

Do you know how high your cab roof sits on your current setup? Just ordered a 2017 2500 with the same Carli lift and I'm curious about how high it will sit and whether I'll clear 7' parking garages with 35s.

Traded the truck in today.

This is my 2013 Land Rover LR4 HSE. Location: Manhattan, Kansas Mileage: around 27,500 - One owner (me) - Garage-kept - Non-smoker - No mechanic issues that I'm aware of. No faults/codes. Runs beautifully, as expected of a truck of its new vintage. - Comes with Land Rover Genuine...

What?!? I thought you were my shuttle.

Thanks. Lots of recommendations for Dave Smith around. They're in Northern Idaho, quite a ways from an airport. How are remote buyers managing the purchase? Do they have a shuttle from Spokane? Also, I'm actually in Kansas. Flying isn't a problem for the right deal. Ideally, I want to get...

I'm trying to figure out who are the best high-volume dealers for a new diesel truck from the Big 3. I'm looking for dealers with huge inventory and low prices with minimal haggling. I have been waiting for the 2017 GMC Sierra 2500HDs to come out but now considering Ford and Dodge. I had...

Great stuff. One of the best things that you can do to improve your writing is to read often. Find some high-quality travel writing and devour it. I've particularly enjoyed the Best American Travel Writing series, which has introduced me to many new authors.

I use 5 gal food grade NATO cans (the blue ones) for my water. My one complaint about these is spillage. You waste a lot of water just dumping some in a pot to cook with. I wish I had a simple food grade hand pump that attached to the mouth of these cans.

Very good news about the Owyhee this week: http://www.opb.org/news/article/malheur-county-votes-no-owyhee-monument/

I broke an axle tube on my Defender down in Cedar Mesa. Not quite the worst place in the lower 48 to do this but definitely up there. It was a one-in-a-million bad weld from the factory that caused the break. There was a small amount of gear oil weeping from the area around the hub prior to...

That could be next month or it might be never. I wonder if there are any Engel dealers on the board who could answer more authoritatively.

Needs a longer handle. The real danger with the Jetboil is a boil-over and burning yourself trying to turn it off.

Looks like the newer Engel MT60 fridges have a digital thermometer and interior lighting. Has anybody seen these for sale in the states? Can they be imported? http://www.engelaustralia.com.au/2products_details.asp?pid=11&productid=21626

Three Forks After a great night of stories and whiskey, I looked up at the clearing skies and the Milky Way above before returning to the back of my truck and falling asleep with the breeze blowing through the open door tops of my Defender's front seat. I knew that it would not rain again and...

Interesting. The sometimes-murky distinction between private roads on private land and BLM roads with right-of-way through private land has bitten me on trips in the past. There's a similar situation in Comb Ridge, where the Ute tribe owns some plots of land along Comb Wash. They post no...

How'd you manage that? We saw No Tresspassing signs posted on that SW road up and out of the ranch--the one after the river ford.

I can't say I'd bother with the 45. I would hit Coyote Hole instead. You're really getting into the fine-grained detail of secrets I don't like posting on forums with that one, however. :)

As the storm raged outside, Peter and I ate steaks and sautéed onions in the back of the 110. After dinner, Peter returned to his truck and we prepared to call it an early evening and try to get some sleep and not worry too much about the lightning that was flashing everywhere. I stayed in...

The Owyhee River Camped up on that ridgeline, we gorged ourselves on lamb and fries but drank our Macallan somewhat somberly because Jason and Kevin had split for Boise that afternoon and the trip just isn't the same without all of the usual compadres. We talked of the canyons and desert to...
