I like your Hi-Lift accessory in this photo! I use a length of Amsteel Blue winchline instead of the strap. Bill Burke demonstrates a way to shorten the rope to the length you need by chaining it, and using a "bung" to finish. I think there is a thread on this site about that method somewhere.

I thought it was 150 lbs, and that is was more related to the rollover angle than anything. The payload of a 110 is about 2000 lbs, which is pretty generous given its dimensions. I am sure many people still exceed it. I bet that failure is from a bad weld or some other manufacturing...

That is good news. The only ones in AZ are the Kaibab NF so far, but it is a start.

It was really shocking to me when I first moved out west, but I quickly fell in love. I thought camping was in places where there were picnic tables and toilets, and if you wanted to get away from that, you had to backpack. Now I think the campsite isn't isolated enough if I see another...

We had Cooper Discoverers LTs on the Dormobile when we got it. The spare was some cheap tire of the correct size, but it was the spare so who cared? We took it out on the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge and got a sidewall cut. Put the spare on, drove 3 miles and the spare went flat and...

I had to cut the ":Wow1:" off the end of the link to get it to work, but that is pretty cool. I have been wanting to do the satellite thing for a while.

Based on the vibe I am getting from you, I think you are better off buying a complete vehicle. You will spend less money in the long run, it will be done quicker, and it will be more fun. This is a project for someone who has a lot of free time and really wants to put a different engine into a...

A friend of mine who works there got to spend a fair about of time with her Wednesday. Surprising fact: She is a fan of "Top Gear".

Cleaning out the storage unit, I found a pair of Series Land Rover half shafts still in the original packaging. I put them up on ebay starting at $0.99. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280499522989

Camping is an inexpensive form of recreation in the long run, but I feel your pain about the initial capital expenditure. When I got back into camping in 1993 after going to college at an urban campus (what was I thinking?), I had to buy all my equipment from scratch. $100 for a tent. A...

Way cool! What elementary school is that? Maybe that is the one I need to send my daughter to next year, since her current one is lousy.

You really need to have a voltmeter. They are a cheap tool. Do what evilfij said and put it across the battery with the engine running - 14ish volts means it is charging, 12ish or less and it is not. Also, an easy way to check the battery is to measure the voltage while you start the engine...

Ahh! That makes sense, now. Thanks.

Where is Young Rd bridge? I looked downstream from Winkelman all the way to the Ashurst-Hayden diversion dam and didn't see it, although there were a couple of crossings that were not labeled on Google Earth. It is downstream of the Coolidge Dam. Right now they are letting all the water flow...

We asked the owner about this. He said he drove it to Colorado last year from LA and it was the longest drive of his life. Comfortable cruising speed was 50 mph and loud. I wonder if it has lower gearing than a regular 110?

I wish! I so want to tour that place. I have kin nearby, but only seem to make it there around Christmas.

I saw this one headed west on I-10 near Texas canyon at 10ish this morning. I was heading in the opposite direction, but it is kind of hard to miss.
