What's on your feet when your walking around shore? I'm a bare foot guy but am think about some canyoneering boots or shoes because of the rocks in Arizona.

Wondering what temp I should turn off my water heater? 22 gallon fresh water tank to a lavatory faucet using a shur flow pump. From the faucet I go to a single burner Zoidi camp shower heater then back to the tank fill hose. Using an infrared temp monitor what temp should I stop it? I use the...

I almost lost my tire tool in the wife's tire this morning because the set screew that hold the poker was loose. Just enough stuck out that I could grab it with side cutters. With all the vibration you may want to check yours before you use it. I used loctite on the Allen threads and noticed my...

The exhaust pipe and it's heat generally runs right next to the transmission. On mine it also crossed right under the tranny bell housing so I wrapped it. That's a lot of heat next to the tranny at low speeds. I did this to the Jeep 10 years ago and it's still holding. They want about $50...

Sway bar bushing end links take a beating so the bushings get flat or crack. Local parts stores like Oreily's carry a universal sway bar bushing kit. The trick to installing them is just un bolting the one nut on each side so you can swing the bar up and off of the end link. Install...

My 35x13.50x15 BFG Krawlers last 10 years and over 30k miles. The tread is still good but the sidewalls are ripping from running low air pressure. I only drive it to the trails and have a trailer for far away places like Moab. I may wind up with a new set but I've been there done that and want...

The typical tandem axle suspension like this takes a real beating. The triangle thing holding the shackles is called the equilizer. The nylon bushings are gone in as little as 6000 miles and then the hole on top of the equilizer elongates. The shackle holes elongate as well and break between...

Most days my rides are just the neighborhood dirt roads and trails. Some days I ride easy for an hour or two and other days I just bomb and crank everything for about 40 minutes. Overall it seems like the same exertion but what kind of ride is better for exercise? What kind of ride do you do for...

Spin the knob to open vent and nothing happens. I've seen this twice but nothing online except referring to the motorized versions or telling you to just call Fantastic Fan. The lifetime warrenty is not warm and fuzzy since Fantastic got bought out and you may need the air right away. Remove...

Craigslist Shoreland'r trailer with title and permenant tag was bought to hual the canoe. I moved the winch all the way foward and test fit the canoe. The tires were tiny 4.80" X 12" and the springs were too stiff. Arch was removed from the lower two leaves to soften them up with mild...

Im converting a single jet ski trailer rated for 1000Lbs. Best I can tell it has a 1490Lbs axel. 5 lug with tiny 12" rims and 20" tall tires. My load will be canoe and gear box at 150lbs or 200 max with a few miles of off road to get up the creeks. Since I'm not overloading it can I get away...

The mesh tops on my OBOZ allowed sand and dirt in and then trapped it. I noticed they felt heavy but they got to the point that they were so swelled up from trapped sand my toes were being smashed. I tried a shop vac and compressed air to get the trapped dirt out. Right before I cut them open to...

It's getting to be that time of year for light weight clothing. Long sleeves keep the sun and heat off when I'm in the sun all day. My collection is getting tattered and was wondering which ones you like? Have you seen any smoking deals on basic expedition style shirts?

I was wondering what little tips or tricks you use to milk out your water supply?
