Call me cheap ***, but I pretty much stick with Cold Steel Knives. They are reasonably priced enough to not worry about dinging or scratching them in real world use, but their performance is very good. I couldn't bring myself to use a $200 blade to shave and strike my fire starter. Download...

I bought one at Camping World last fall on the close out table for $50. It is AWESOME! Very compact and versatile. I don't see it on their website anymore, but if there is one in your area, you might stop in and check.

Wow! That's a nice one. Good pick for a first one.

Great report Dave. Many people who doubt their writing skills are too worried about what others might think, and will never dare to put themselves out there in a report like this. I applaud you for sharing this trip and the pictures. I would like to encourage you to write more reports for two...

I was just using bungee cords to hold it to the roof bars, but didn't like having to take it down and lock it in the cab when away from the truck for extended periods in certain areas, especially when it's wet or covered with snow and ice. Also there was nothing to keep it from sliding off if a...

The Oztent rack is complete and mounted. Now I can lock it up safe and secure. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

JgAll I've owned for the last 35 years have been 4wds and I've had everything from a Cj6 to a Suzuki Brute and now a Rover. I remember when the YJ was going to be the death of the real Jeep, and when they switched from leaf springs you'd have thought they punched the Pope. The point is...

I was just looking thru this thread. I just made a rack for my Oztent out of conduit. My "tee" joints weren't saddled. The main frame was 3/4" conduit and the cross bars were 1/2" I drilled 3/4" holes into the larger tube which it the O.D. of the 1/2 conduit. I stuck the 1/2" conduit into...

We like the mesh pockets. The perfect place for wet swimsuits or dish washing cloths. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought about doing that but I've had bad experiences with the mix of plastic, tree limbs, and very cold temperatures. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's finally done! Just shot the last coat of paint. Hopefully I'll get it mounted by the weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is what we use. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/64278-Budget-overland-Disco-build It may be too large for your purposes but it works great for us. It was onsale for around $120. It's about halfway down the page in the thread.

I dreamed of a jeep Lady Luck said "No, Rover" It's been a good ride.

The temp gauge, I cry, My worst fears realized.

AEV at least has a good base vehicle to build from. I don't know what you would build from this thing.

I didn't see a temp rating on it. Looks kind of cool though. It could also double as a Gumby costume for halloween. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If your key is the type with the built in fob, buy the smallest otterbox they make. 100% waterproof. Wrap the key in a paper towel so it doesnt rattle, then use your imagination. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn't see it. If you aren't a vendor/sponsor they may have pulled the post.
