In my 04 F250, the factory radio continues to play after the vehicle is shut off and the key is removed until you open the door. This is neat feature that I really like. I replaced the head unit with one from Alpine a few years ago and the feature remained. Last night, I put in a new Alpine...

My buddy James convinced me I should make a side awning for the Alstro. Have any of you guys made an awning? I am most interested in how it attaches to the van. I have found awning track online, I think I want a track so that rain cannot blow between the roof and the awning. I am also...

I bought one of these today. I stopped on the way home and put a box of shells through it. So far I really like. Do any of you guys have one of these? What do you think.

Does anybody have a source for these. I found a some in europe, but none that I could order easily. I love the premade cubes in chicken and beef but can't find anything red pepper based. When the zombies arrive and I'm living on sparrows, these will be essential. TIA

This was my old front end. I have been making some new mods for the upcoming Zombie apocalypse. I ditched my home made front bumper in favor of this one from Smittybuilt. The old design allowed Zombies to accumulate on the front of the jeep. With this stinger design they should slip quietly...

So I am going to look at a 94 Astro Conversion van AWD on Saturday. Anything I should look out for? Are there any pros to starting with a Conversion van? I don't picture using the fold down couch. I am looking to build something that 2 people can camp in with maximum emphasis put into...

I have been thinking about an Astro Van. 92 to 97 are falling in my price range. I am also looking at the overland 4" lift. There appears to be a cutoff at 95. First generation vs. second. Does one have an advantage of the other? I have found out that the older ones have fiberglass springs...

So for year or so my jeep has been getting just a little hot (215F) in the woods. On really hot days it would cause the jeep to vapor lock. If I poored water down over the fuel rail, it would fire right up. The radiator was new, So I tried the following: rerouted the fuel lines replaced...

I was unpacking after a 4 day outing over Labor day, and thought “this is too much stuff”. I imagine many feel the same , but what do you give up? I’m not interested in exhaustive gear lists, just ideas for ways to save weight and bulk. I’m not drilling holes in my tooth brush:elkgrin:. Also...

I 've towed a lot of different things with a full size truck, but never with a SWB jeep. I'm looking at a 15' pull behind camper (not a popup). Could this be towed reasonably safely with a YJ? The jeep is on 35s with heavy axles and low gears. i know there is enough power but i'm not sure...

We checked this place out yesterday. It's called Bilger's Rocks. It's near Curwensville PA. It is basically a couple of acres of Sandstone that is maybe 80ft thick. It is a huge maze of crevices, overhangs, tunnels, and cavlets. There are many, many paths thru the rocks and many dead ends...

I paddled the Bald Eagle Creek last night with the Canoe Club of Centre Country. We put in at Blanchard below Sayers Dam and pulled out at the Fish Commission access at Mill Hall. It is ~7 miles and took us 2.75 hours. This is a very scenic stretch. I crusied by a Bald Eagle at eye level...

So I had an interesting challenge yesterday. A local fire company runs an ATV poker run 3 times a summer on private land. I did the poker run last year in a Yamaha Rhino. The whole time I was thinking, I'd love to do these trails in my jeep someday. Last week I contacted the fire hall and...

I did a motor swap in my jeep and i'm using a ~30" piece of rubber line between the external fuel pump and the fuel rail. When I get hot and shut it off for a few minutes, i'm getting vapor lock in the rubber line. i want to replace it with steel or braided steel. my fuel pump has a barbed...
