    Keeping the Wrangler alive

    there's I believe a technical way to seperate it apart, and thats to take the jeep wrangler and just turn it into the "Wrangler" company. they might be able to skirt the production numbers.. maybe. apart from that, the base model should have a angled back soft top- good for 1 mpg or so- Full...

    Winches - situations when do you gotta have one?

    Sometimes it doesnt take very much to be stuck. Sometimes the roads looks devious. Like a sink hole filled with leaves. Sometimes you think you will make a uturn on this patch of field, because, heck, you have 4wd, and your not afraid.. until you realize its super soft slippery mud. Oops. You...

    What all do you pack on your Bicycle?

    urban? Cell phone, patch kit, tube, co2 inflator, and an allen key/chain brake tool, tire irons. Woods? Same thing, just add more water, maybe a compass or GPS. I have tried doing the solar panel, and it does work, but there's no reason to do it for the most part- if its not a multi day...

    The Budget Minded Bikepacker

    its not that I don't have an esbit (any good camper has one somewhere), but it is not my go to in almost every situation. No flame control, slow to boil. If I want slow in the morning, I have my Emberlit mini TI. I can get water to boil with twigs faster than I can with my esbit. Lol.

    Heating a Roof Top Tent with a Wood Stove...

    I havent looked inside, but it is literally a finned thick metal tube with two burners below it, with a fan that blows air through it. Other than the fact that your pretty limited (the whole design is using 1 lb cylinders and doesn't work that well with conversion tanks) It also had no...

    hypothetical reliability of old Toyotas

    A toyota is pretty damn reliable. However, any vehicle is reliable, if you take care of it. Of course some vehicles like to break more than others (i.e. engine rods, bearings, etc), so take that into account. :)

    optimal traction when pulling a trailer

    What tongue weight do you estimate you have when your truck is at an incline? the M101 is severely center balanced in my opinion. It doesn't put a whole load of tongue weight.

    BMW X5, anyone ever done one?

    its a fine platform for about 90 percent of driving. If your not planning on getting hunters rash on your ride, you should be just fine with just about anything.

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    You could get some coilovers. Cheapest way is Forester springs and shocks. Will allow bigger tires too. Then get a larger sway bar to compensate for the slightly softer handling. You can also get a nice aluminum skid plate. GT spec makes a great one, and it, unlike ralitek actually protects...

    Bug Out Vehicle

    different parts down there experienced it differently. Some areas were not as bad off "security" wise, but other areas were just.. destroyed. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0902-06.htm There are many reasons not to stay with the herd. It depends on who the rest of the herd is. Even...
