I haven't done many recoveries so I don't really have an intuition for how robust these recovery points are. Looking at the hitch above, the pin certainly looks stout enough -- provided I'm picturing it correctly. Next question -- there are two bolt holes, what is that going to attach to, and...

Gotta remember that when you're stuck the load increases. For example the common guideline for winches is to get 1.5x the weight of your vehicle. So for my Xterra that clock in at around 5500lb, I should be getting 8.5klb winch. I'd imagine the same is true for recovery gear. It needs to be...

For sale AND wanted. Please keep posting "found" ads. Im getting ideas.

Hey folks, I'm looking at getting a set of quick release awning brackets for my 270 awning but both front runner and ironman say they are not compatible: My awning is well within the weight capacity of both of these sets of brackets. Any idea why they'd say it's not compatible?

That does look a little bit questionable. I bet a couple of minutes on top of nice coals would make it much more appetizing.

Sounds like a solid negotiating tactics :D

Here it is: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/smittybilt-scout-trailer-reviews.174189/ Summary: decent for the price, barebones.

Nice, looks like you scored a great deal. Your old rig looks great as well. I aiming for something similar. Here in British Columbia, we have an incredible network of logging roads. For the most part they are well maintained while in use and you don't need a heavy duty 4x4. You do need some...

Hey friends, I'm curious about purchasing an older 4x4 van sometime in the next few years. I've been sporting an SUV + tent and it's been working fine, but looking to upgrade (or move laterally, I guess) eventually. I started occasional craigslist/market place searches and I see some vehicles...

Hey folks, I've been intrigued by the tent cot concept as an alternative for RTTs/ground tents for a while. I'm curious -- is anyone able to leave their bedding inside the tent cot while folded -- or partially folded? I ask because we typically move frequently when car camping. It would be ok...

I can't seem to include amazon links :facepalm. Not sure if it's the forum software or me. Flame King 1lb Kit

That's not accurate. The link I included was to the brand new kits from Flame King shipped by Amazon. Let me try including the link again: Unfortunately flame king doesn't seem to sell individual 1lb bottles anymore (or they are not currently available). You can still get a bottle with the kit...

I see the pictures of their bags but they don't seem to offer any for sale?

That's what I was hoping to find. The refilling procedure at the gas station isn't rocket science, but I wanted to confirm anyway. The tank at the top of the thread is refillable. To answer some other questions: - canadian tire sells a 1lb disposable tank for $8 a pop. 1lb of propane at the...

Hey folks, If I understand correctly, the advice against filling up disposable green propane tanks at home is that they are not certified to do so. Sounds reasonable, not worth the potential explosion to me. How about something like this: Can I refill it from my 20lb tank? Safely? Hm...

Do you have any pictures you can post? I’d love to see what the final product looks like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got a pair of Fjallraven trousers on sale. I think if/when these wear out I'd pay a full price for them: https://www.fjallraven.com/us/en-us/men/trousers/trekking-trousers/vidda-pro-trousers-m-reg?v=F81760R%3a%3a7323450725976 They are made of a heavy weight cotton/polyester blend. They sell...

Cool “little” unit. Even though it has nano in the name it’s still pretty big vs the scout! [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What are you running instead these days?
