    Overland Journal: Discovery I, 5-speed

    I installed the Columbia Overland tank skid on my DII as well. It pushed the tank up slightly but not enought to cause concern for the upper side of the tank. Install time for the DII was about 30 minutes. Place a jack under the tank and pump it up enough to support the tank, (best done when...

    Trips and DVDs...

    We made a decision, almost a vow!, to not take or include the portable DVD player on our trips. We have a little traveling DVD player, which doubles as our at home DVD player since the big one broke!, but we usually leave it at home. This gives us the chance to interact with out kids. Listen...

    Two off-roaders fined, sentenced to probation for Lake Tahoe damage

    Interesting that most of the responses assumed that they were riding ATVs when the article said "4 wheel drive vehicles"

    Lane splitting in AZ

    No doubt that the lane splitting would allow for several benefits and advantages. I pull out from lights similar to you. The tough part I see in saying to the general public that lane splitting is legal is that it could be a free for all. The other concern is that although it may be legal it...

    Baby Clothes

    I'm not sure how old your baby is but for our two kids we tried a few things. 1 - We have a second hand store around here called Kid to Kid. It's all nice gently used if used at all stuff. You can often find fancy name brands for a fraction of the cost. 2 - General outdoor stores often have...

    Lane splitting in AZ

    There are few more dangerous practices. What's the rush that a moto can't drive normally in traffic with everyone else?

    What's with the Toyota trolls in the Land Rover forum?

    Actually, disagreeing with someone is not frowned upon at all. Educated and well thought discussions containing multiple viewpoints are more than welcom. It's when pepole become rude, mean and disrespectful that't not cool. :snorkel:

    Camping with kids..Off the beaten path or in a campground?

    If your primary concern about remote, non-campground, camping is the potential threat of other people you can take a few precautions. 1. If the area you camp is difficult to get to then few others will likely show up. 2. If you pass "creepy people" on the way into your camp area you may want...

    Craghoppers?

    I've always wondered about those pants from watching the show. Their product line looks practical and well made. From the looks of it they are claering out inventory to make room for 2010. Most of the men's stuff looks sold out but, wow, some great prices on functional and good looking clothes...

    New 2010 Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere!

    I would have to agree, It looks cool but at 575 pounds withoug any lugguage and with the bike depending on a bunch of "systems" it really seems more suited to road touring than challenging dirt. :bike_rider:
