I got a kick out of Chiz45 when he mentioned he was going to pull the trigger on rooftop tent while at the Overland Expo if they would install it right away. What works and what does not when your dealing with rain and mud? What works best to keep you from tracking mud into your tents and campers?
Some of us saw rain and mud last weekend and I was wondering what gear you had that you liked. What's the best way to dress, cook and camp when it's sloppy?
I posted a free wind surf board on the Overland Expo barter thread.

Eldelbrock has come out with an aluminum head. Flows better and weighs a lot less. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/mc/cylinder-heads/jeep.shtml
Order from Jegs bare or built or just drool:Wow1...
I picked up a floor mounted tire machine with a coupon for $29 bucks. I screwed it to a scrap 1/2 sheet of plywood I had in the wood pile. It made quick work out of the 15" front tires on the dune buggy. The bead breaker did not break the bead but driving over the tire with the mini van made...
Horseshoe lake AZ is one of my favorite areas all year long because it's rare to see anybody there. For a few months you may see a actual water in but it was near full this weekend! When we got there there was one guy fishing but as we left we had the entire lake and shoreline to our selfs. We...
My empty generator compartment was used to haul 5 Scepter cans but I repurposed it for an A/C unit and gear.
Now I need a good way to carry 5 or 6 cans on an open trailer. Have you seen any large racks or better yet a lockable box that is just right for these cans that will keep them...
Can I cut a slider down without it falling apart? I need one to go under the fridge and the two sets I have are super duty but too long. Trade for fridge slider? The short one held a 300lbs 6500 watt generator and the long one is a 4' to 8' truck bed slider.
I'm OK welding up metal but I'm lost when it comes to wood. I built a steel platform base out of a bracket that houses a huge sliding shelf. The wood top or platform will hang over 4 1/2" all the way around and have 24" on center steel cross braces. Do I need 3/4" plywood or is thinner OK? The...
Filson stopped making the Outfitter bag and I need to replace mine. Do you have one in any size or color that you are not using?
Mine wore out but it worked for what I do.
I picked up this yard sale puller and was wondering if anybody has used one? It's 1100 lbs single line rated. It only weighs 10.5 lbs as shown and is simple to operate.
I may throw it in the dune buggy. What do you think?
I like this van because the of the 460 and the nice big top on it. It looks like it may have auxiliary heat of some sort and 135k miles. No affiliation. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/cto/4134170349.html
Edit: It looks like it is in Dallas TX.
If you like your morning joe with cream or milk but are out or do not carry them then use a pad of butter.
You can't tell the difference and the butter burns slow for all day energy. It's really good!
Edit: Hummer H3 is sold. Boat is still up.
If you know boats then you know that the 17' Montauk is Boston Whalers most popular hull. It's got the bulletproof 4cyl Evinrude 90 on it. Same block as the 140. He just spent a ton getting it all gone thru before he got hurt. I looked at it but really...
These are in my neighborhood. They are a little rusty and have 250k kilometers on the clock.
I can go look or post more pics if anybody is interested in them.
