Testing entry and departure angles recently at Hollister Hills. (click for larger image)

Nice updates. Adding two BlueSea dual USB power ports was one of my better mods too, so now the family doesn't have to negotiate who gets to charge their phone/iPad first. Especially on long highway trips when the mobile devices see heavy use. The CB looks to be in a good spot. It looks like...

Nice quality installs. I'm starting to think I should have gone for the larger BlueSea fuse block since mine is nearly full now. At least an upgrade should be simple if needed.

I run a Long Ranger 24-gallon secondary fuel tank, purchased from Man-a-fre and installed by my local Jeep/fab shop. Very pricey, but I love having it for those long trips and not having to deal with jerry cans. I have twice had problems while off-roading with the supplied fuel pump and filter...

I use one of those GI tool bags for some of my recovery gear. It's worked great with no issues over the last ten years or so. I mostly keep soft items in it (synthetic winch line extension, kinetic hanker rope, etc.) so it gets tossed around a lot. I bought mine at a local surplus store.

I received my map case yesterday and also was treated to the wonderful first impressions. Not only that, but when my upgraded (2-day) shipping actually cost a couple of bucks less than calculated, they refunded the difference. Full points for a wonderful customer service experience! I'll post...

Want!

Wow, never seen one of those critters before.

4x4Labs makes a great bombproof rear bumper with various tire and Gerry can carrying option. Congrats on your new addition. Good to see folks who can appreciate the charms of more than one brand.

Doh! Since another GB on these was said to be several months away, I recently bought a new one on my own. Oh well, just bad luck.

FWIW, the awful, terrible fiberglass poles on our Eureka Dome tent lasted for 20 years without problems, outlasting both the tent entrance zipper and the floor seam, which delaminated. That said, I do prefer aluminum poles as well. But I've seen plenty of busted aluminum poles too. I suspect...

Texas is crazy big. I went to Austin several times for work and soon realized how long the drives were to adjacent states or even other areas within TX... I did make it to San Antonio and The Alamo though, since they weren't *too* far. The Alamo was totally worth it too, for me anyway. Good...

Loved the recent thread updates and am looking forward to more. The 80 looks great with all that dirt on it. :) Best wishes with the changes in your life.

I have several map cases and that one looks nicer than any of them. What's the size like? For vehicle use, I prefer a larger map case.

Welcome, and looking forward to the inevitable upgrades... :)

Yikes! X2 on hoping everyone is ok.

I think I have to do the Wagon Gear tailgate conversion at some point....

Ye gods, some kid's outdoor clothing can be so expensive, especially when they outgrow it or trash it so quickly. One of my techniques is to shop for sale merchandise at REI, or on Steepandcheap. I recently got her a larger REI down jacket for $40, and a Marmot rain coat for about $30. In the...

I've had several good leather belts, and nylon ones as well. Some have been excellent but specialized towards a specific purpose. As an overall practical "overlanding" belt, I think it's hard to beat a $25 nylon web belt from Patagonia or Mountain khakis.

Too bad my GSAR's adjustment knob stripped, then fell out of the damn watch.
