    Hi-lift jack points?

    We should all remember that when the dealer sells a new "4x4 All Terrain-Go Anywhere" vehicle, it is neither his responsibility, nor is it within his capability, to provide the buyer with with even a miniscule amount of "common sense". Most of us have seen the results of trail stupidity which...

    I'm inclined to agree with " hillbillyjake", toilet paper, facial tissues, or even paper napkins, can really make or break an outdoor excursion. Cheers, Stevo

    Fuel storage.. without a rack or tire carrier

    Yeah, I could carry a good amount of fuel; the after market tank fit real close to the underside of the bed (had to remove the spare tire winch assy.) I think it held about 10 gal. of gas. I really don't remember as it was a long time ago-mid 1980's. The truck was kinda modified: replaced the...

    Fuel storage.. without a rack or tire carrier

    Many years ago I had a 1980 4x4 Toy long bed; I too was unhappy with my limited amount of fuel (I believe it was 16 gal.) so I mounted an after market aux tank under the bed and moved the spare up into the bed right above the rear axel. I then went to the local wrecking yard and got a stock tank...

    Tactical or Traditional Rifle?

    Tactical or traditional Here in the People's Republik of California, if John Law finds you with a "black rifle", prepare to take a big bite of a **** sandwich. I have learned to be "comfortable " with a .45 auto. A lot less hassle. Mini-14's also tend to work real well. Cheers, Stevo

    Water tanks and water storage ideas

    As most everyone knows, the U.S. govt. contracts out just about everything it needs. Well, I just received three more "Scepter" type MWC's (military water containers) from "buylci.com"; two in O.D.green and one in tan. Here's the cool part...I ordered them on 12/28 online and received them via...

    Springfield Armory XD-9 Tactical 9mm

    Love those Springfield mag pouches but, for myself, I much prefer the Blackhawk Serpa holster over the Springfield one included in the kit. I carry almost every day (Calif.CCW) and the Serpa just works for me. (See posting under your "jail" thread.) Enjoy your new friend! Cheers-Stevo

    High Quality Shovel

    Having read this article, I was inspired to go to Lowe's myself and check it out. Walked out with the aforementioned standard D-handle shovel and the matching D-handle trenching shovel! Sweet! Having "mis-placed" equipment in the bush (usually at night) over the years I decided that I needed to...

    Mounting spare tire in roof basket

    Roof mounted spare tire Roof mounted spare tires look cool, however, they obviously are not for everyone. Being a 62 year-old man, the thought of wrestling a 80,90, or 100 lb. tire up onto or off of a vehicle's roof is not a pleasant thought. What about the change in the center of gravity of...
