    Railriders Extreme Adventure Pants

    A little late for your review Corey but I've got a pair of TAD Gear Force 10 Cargo Utilities in Nylon that I really like that have shown their value in the Mid-Atlantic's heat and humidity this summer so far. American made, tough as nails, easily cleaned with a little water (even grease), and...

    M2A military camp stove gasoline

    I hated those things - they were a maintenance nightmare but they did serve admirably since WW II. When they work they worked great. The burner units typically used with the field range could bake, fry, simmer - you name it; an example of American ingenuity, but they were time consuming to...

    2007 Dodge CTD Build

    I disagree... it makes a great solvent and removes those stubborn grease stains.

    Carbon Neutral Expedition - CNE I (Spring 2010)

    Wow Dre - when I asked for an update I just meant a couple sentences... ;) Awesome chronicle of the trip - it felt like being there minus the french-fry smell of the exhaust and the pictures fill in the visual gaps well. Thanks for your hard work - makes me want a diesel conversion... anyone...

    Cleaning Synthetic rope...

    Have you tried the new lavendar-scented Woolite? It's pretty awesome -- the winch smells "Springy" fresh now.

    I see the ALPO has progressed well into the alimentary canal and is progressing to it's inevitable conclusion... :eatchicke where's a mod when you need them? However, Jim, I have to agree with your conclusions but common sense is not necessarily a commonly held virtue. ;) Well now, that's...

    Suspension newb needs help with incredibly rough ride.

    I take my down routinely to 12 lbs... haven't lost a bead yet. Specs in sig line below and the LC80 wheel is 8 inches. It looks more scary than it actually is.

    2007 Dodge CTD Build

    Uh, NO! Hey Bob, stumbled on your build thread (although the craftmanship is much more impressive in person). Thanks for the Gentlemen's Jack at OX10 and good luck on your retirement. I'll be looking forward to your upcoming posts as guidance for my upcoming retirement and epic trip. See...

    Help a newbie - 4Runner v. Cruiser

    I'm almost certain the OP replied: Yup, the quote proves it! He's working his decision with all our input; let's not beat this dead horse to ALPO... besides you all know the Tacoma is a far superior platform anyway. ;)

    Trip To White River Campground At Mt. Rainier National Park August 2010

    ^^^ I hear you mon frer. It takes little work to be miserable, but it really doesn't take too much more effort to be prepared and comfortable either. I'm getting close to retirement, too, and sleeping on the ground doesn't hold the allure it once did. Comforts embellish the experience.

    Tacoma mod: Dual battery and power management

    Installed the IBS dual battery management system and dual Optima batteries. Thanks to Will of Sierra Expeditions for the inspiration by his installation, "walk-through" at OX10, and the smoking hot deal on the system. Also, special thanks to Vince and his mad fab-skills at Iron Pig Off Road...
