    Bear proofing on vehicle-based expeditions?

    Or in the case of Mr. Kotter's wife's tuna casserole, Tupperware locked odors IN.

    I've never been a fan of an 8 cylinder in a vehicle this size, but I know why @Grassland and others like it. What he said. KOLAK...I can only say he was around about 5 years ago when I ordered the parts for my WJ, and he was around about two years ago when I ordered the Billstein shocks for my...

    Yep. Parts for a 20-25 year old Jeep in the US? All day every day. Check the Crown Automotive catalog or typical auto parts store, or even junk yard and you've got them. I never went without a part. Just the desire sometimes to get under that Jeep yet again. Up in the Northeast, rust...

    The 4.0 liter WJ I had burned no oil. It may have leaked it as it aged, but it didnt burn any. I wouldnt mind getting another one. But I have too many vehicles I would want: Forester Wilderness. Gladiator. 90's full size Blazer Silverado. 80's to 90's Bronco. XJ Cherokee. ZJ Grand...

    I guess it depends what year range Subaru you are looking at. Boxer engines I've heard it's harder to change spark plugs but I've no experience working on boxer engines. Dont forget, those boxer engines, the pistons run sideways. A simple valve cover gasket leak may take on a little more...

    I, too, am ooking for a Subaru Forester. A newer one though, and was surprised to find the latest gen Forester dimensions and the WJ are near exact measurements in almost every way except rear cargo and that's only a difference of 5 or 10 cu ft. Not bad considering the Forester is 4 cylinder...

    Cool little feature: click the key forward 3 times, stopping on the 3rd forward twist without starting the engine...and any CEL codes will appear in place of the digital odometer. As computerized and screen-filled as today's trucks are, they could be doing that to the nth degree, but they wont

    Mine was a 1999, and I JUST got rid of it a year ago. And that was only because it had been languishing the last couple years as I took my truck everywhere. Red headed step-child just sort of sat and rusted. They can be got very inexpensively and wont break the bank for upgrades...

    Sure! I had one for years, in between driving a couple of Big Blazers and my current GMC truck. I found the 4.0 liter inline 6 cylinder engine immensely easy to work on. Plugs, coils, starter, oil changes. Did the fuel rail...Even doing the water pump wasnt bad. Then I reached out to KOLAK...

    SOLD: Suunto MC-2 /360/IN/D Compass (Never used.)

    I've got one of these - mine is NOT Global needle that this one is. I love it. Probably best compass made today. No bubbles. My new Brunton 5 with Global needle - yeah...bubble already. Talk about sentimental...I still have my Silva Ranger Type 15 from the late 1980's. I beat the hell out...

    Camp Tables - What are you using?

    I use my GMC Sierra tailgate unless there is a table at the camp I am in.

    May need a new battery?

    Do you have a volt-ohm meter (multimeter)? That should give you an idea, checking directly at the posts when the vehicle is off, and again when the vehicle is on to see if the charge is making it to the battery.

    1999 Chevy Tahoe, 2-Door, 4x4 - *SUPERCHARGED* - Full Overland Build

    Beautiful truck, Dave. What the h3ll would you want to get rid of THAT for? If I had that money, I'd scoop it up. The old 2 door big Blazer is my favorite truck of all time, and this is a Blazer with a Tahoe name

    Buyer beware - MVT Offroad

    Chargeback and be done. Criminal charges are absolutely not worth your time for $80. Your time is worth money and if you spend more than 2 hours on this, you are wasting your time
