    An Axe - Seriously?

    I always carry an axe when we venture off the beaten bath. A handy tool for the environment or force protection.

    2008 Suburban Sensible mods

    First, take off the front air dam before you rip it off. After that: lights, armor, locker, and lift - in that order.

    Medical/First Aid Choices?

    I don't really understand most first aid kits. I don't even carry band aids because they don't stick if you move or sweat. 95% of the time, all I've needed was a razor blade or safety pin to dig out a splinter, some Gorilla Tape to cover a blister, or some electrical tape and gauze to bandage...

    Hello determining value of 2008 FJ Cruiser

    Very true. If you find a buyer who plans to build something just like what you have, you may get a better price, but usually you're going to be dealing with blue book rates. For the average buyer, your mods add no specific value.

    Trasharoo with no Tire Carrier?

    Install some footman loops wide enough to fit the Trasharoo straps? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Hello determining value of 2008 FJ Cruiser

    That's low miles. I'd guess $18,000-$20,000, depending on your local market. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Long sleeve summer weight shirts.

    Tried a couple others now. ExOfficio Travel Shirt - https://www.rei.com/rei-garage/product/897089/exofficio-travel-shirt-long-sleeve-shirt-mens Good quality, very different texture and style from the Duluth stuff. Excellent hidden shoulder vent. I find myself missing the large buttons, but...

    Car in ditch

    Should have told him, "Some automotive expert you are. You can't even keep the rubber on the road," and left him there being too smart for his own good.

    33 vs 35s for my XJ Overland Build

    31s have some other benefits as well. You can piece together a quality 3"-3½" lift very affordably. You can run 31s on stock rims, saving you money by not needed aftermarket rims. You also don't have to modify the wheel wells. And you're less likely to explode axle shafts or u-joints...

    33 vs 35s for my XJ Overland Build

    Absolutely. You definitely don't need 35s and are unlikely to need 33s. XJs aren't heavy. 31s offer plenty of flotation.

    Fear of the highlift?

    I think the growth for concern is based on the growth of offroad sports.

    Van as a primary vehicle pros and cons

    DD it! Regular use is how you know you can trust it.

    Premium & High End Ice Chests & Coolers Reviews

    The secret is usually using multiple coolers. Food can go in the smaller, most heavily-insulated cooler that is only opened at meal times. A larger, possibly less-insulated cooler can be used for your beverages, seating, step stool, etc.

    Premium & High End Ice Chests & Coolers Reviews

    I have a 15-year-old Coleman 5 day that has proven competitive with a $200+ cooler. I'm happy to keep using what I've got. One tip on the Coleman coolers: you can upgrade to stainless steel hinges for less than $10. http://www.ebay.com/itm/141321943261

    Interesting build series on You Tube

    Initially I questioned the longevity of painted plywood, but it keeps cost down, allows for easy design and creation, and makes modifications simple. But on second thought, about 10 years ago I made a much simpler box for a Harbor Freight trailer for hauling construction tools and materials...

    500-lb capacity hitch rack from Harbor Freight

    I've not had a truck for a few years, so for hauling anything gross, I've used the hell out of a cheap HF rack. Sand, concrete, greasy junkyard parts, dusty tools, even 8' lumber laid across it and centered up. One of the best $40 purchases I've ever made.

    To spot or not to spot

    Probably more trouble than it's worth, but if the device will pay for itself, that's a win.

    Sleeping in your vehicle

    I don't know who that is. Being cramped would depend on the vehicle.

    To spot or not to spot

    While we're all taking... If I bought one of these devices, what would be the best way to rent it out? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
