This time we went to San Lorenzo Canyon, just north of Socorro NM; what was supposed to be a 3-day trip had to be cut short to a 2-day weekend trip due to work, but we managed to make it worthwhile and visited most of the places we had planned...

    M 416 tongue nightmare

    Hi neighbor! I know it's a little late, but I've just built my own off-road hitch for my pop-up build. I'll weld a receiver end and use a regular 2" ball coupler for highway use and just switch it for off-road. Stronger and a cheaper than a Max coupler.

    Please help me select leaf springs (and shocks!)

    I'm doing the same thing to my Coleman Taos and I'll be using Jeep XJ leaf springs, though mine will be about 1500 lbs. or less. I also have a pair of add-a-leafs that I can use if needed to play with. Place the shocks on the rear, on the same side of the shackles and as perpendicular to the...
