    Water shoes (not the crappy mesh/rubber ones)

    Is a swing out tire carrier worth it, or more of a PITA than it is worth?

    Its a heavy contraption that is a pita on a hill if you have to get to your gear. Skip it.

    What are your Overland equipment must haves?

    Eat, sleep, wash and fresh clothing. I like food I can scarf. Nuts and rasions are great fast foods as are prepackaged hard boiled eggs. 1/2" thick steaks cook in a fry pan and with a bag of prefab salid you have a square. Cereal, real milk and whatever berries or fruit....yumm. Cookies and...

    Any longtime riders quit for good?

    I'm 55 on Saturday and just sold most of my herd. a Montesa 315r trials bike, KTM 200, XR400 and a KTM Adventure 950. I'm keeping the Rokon because it's bad azz. I got out of it because the dirtbikes means injuries that you cannot recover from at age. The adventure bike was a waste. All of them...

    Sunroof fan... Brainstorming

    I live and camp in the Arizona desert so I've tried everything. Swamp cooler works if you sit right in front of it. $99 5000 BTU air condition works if you turn it on early and run the Honda generator but as soon as you open a door all the cool air is gone. The best I have found is to maximize...

    Favorite highway tire?

    I went from Km2 to MS2's on the 8000 pound E350 4x4 because I pull light trailers. It was night and day difference in handling. I do drive easy but the few times I've had to make evasive maneuvers the tire advantage was obvious. Dirt roads with a few rocky sections don't chunk the tires but I...

    How to Charge a Lead Acid Battery

    That was a good read. I got to battery monitors and thought to myself great, maybe I'll be able to understand the garbage I read on my Morningstar controller. Next line says Monitors and why they don't work. I feel better now and am glad I mounted it in a hard to veiw area.

    Selling guns now that Backpage is gone.

    I was going to sell a few guns the old way to build a new desert car but Backpage is gone. You could always go there and see what similar guns were being sold for and list them. What's the best way to find market value and sell a few guns now?

    Walking shoes

    New Balance men's walking shoes were cheep at the rei online garage sale. I've never had a "Walking" shoe but my daily knocking around shoes were blown out. While walking on pavement your feet can squirm so much you must cinch the laces tight just so you foot stays over the middle of the sole...

    How do I sew a sidewall.

    The tires held but the shoo goo cracked real easy. The threads are pullin thru the rubber but the shoo goo is weak. I'm gonna grind off the shoo goo and put a patch on the outside of the tire for one more go at it. The tire was spun constantly, jumped and slid sidways. Three cars ripped their...

    How do I sew a sidewall.

    [ATTACH=C This is this morning. Pics of my car on top of another and twisted broken frames won’t post from the phone but will say the patch is taking a beating an 5/8 with only cracks in the shoo goo. I’m still running and I’ll just smear on more shoe goo

    How do I sew a sidewall.

    I like that deflater tool! I know that when seating a bead with starting fluid and a match (and that works great) if you do it with the valve core in it will works but then it sucks the bead right back off as the gasses cool. If the core is out it sucks air in and the bead stays put. As far as...
