Like mentioned, Quick Fist, they come in various sizes and are fine for most round things. Don't degrade in the sun. I stopped carrying an ax quite some time ago. I have a folding saw, a machete and sometimes a DeWalt battery chain (12 inch) saw for clearing the occasional downed tree. That...

My MIG welder can convert to TIG so it isn't really an issue. I have not thought about aluminum as almost everything I want would be steel. Seems that there is a lot more scrap steel available to practice on than aluminum. It just takes time to be reasonably passable with wire welding. At least...

turn it into a retreat for lost hikers

I think one of the main issues with an aux fuel tank is getting the fuel to your main tank. A pump would not be a major stumbling block. Lots of them around. You could have a custom tank made up and not have so many issues. Many locations to have a pump located, especially exterior to the body...

Noticing your avatar it appears that you just might be able to heft a spare on and off the roof of your vehicle but many cannot do that. I also thought about doing that for my LR3 but the 100 pound tire was a bit much to handle so it went on a bumper swing out. The location of the spare in an...

comparing the weight of a Subaru and a 30 foot box truck there is little surprise that a box truck probably won't make the route. So what happened to this story? What is the outcome?

Were you ashamed of it being a Jeep and wanted to disguise it? Perhaps add a Mercedes emblem to the grille to really confuse people. Maybe add a Ferrai badge to the back too. It's your vehicle and you should be able to do what you want but seriously?

take the tires off and turn it into a winch anchor

Solar is better I think as the generator is another use for fuel and a reason to carry more.

When I was rebuilding my M416A, I completely re-did the wiring. Using new wire connectors and a Nato plug to my Pinzgauer and also a 4 pin connector/adapter to be able to pull it with my Jeep. did not trust the original wiring. Installed new lights as well to match the Pinzgauer tail lights. I...

I was involved several years ago with an off road group that stated in their requirements for trips that there would be 'NO' metal ends on any recovery straps or ropes. they become missiles if something breaks, and in truth a human does not have the reaction time built in to duck such missile...

Price is firm, what is the price?

Once had a casual conversation with a guy when I had my Pinzgauer, he had one too. We got to talking about Quick-fist clamps, seemed that he was very much in favor of them. He owned the company. Sometimes you can meet the most interesting people.

I have had mounts on the roof of my LR for years, no movement, ever. Shovel does not go anywhere and no UV damage.

Use a percolator with a filter, decent coffee if you use good coffee to start. Been using this method for years.

Croatia is a beautiful country and my experiences with the people is that they are friendly and welcoming.

I have a swing out tire carrier on the rear of my LR and like the Jeep shown with the ammo can affixed to the rear it does make the right tail light a bit more difficult to see, especially as a turn indicator. This makes the driver following me to hopefully maintain enough distance behind me to...

I have a second battery in the LR3 that runs all aux systems: fridge, HAM, inside rear ceiling lights, etc. I would not run things off the starting battery even with a solar panel to keep things charged. Use Nat Luna splitter/charger to keep things separate and a solar panel controller (Sun...

On the ARB top bar with the tube mount. Very sturdy

Complete brakes at 133,315. Is now 147,974 so front pads out at less than 15K miles. Really doesn't seem that far. edit: Just received new OEM pads for front from AB. Also ordered new sensor from Suburban Auto Parts. Will give me something to do on the weekend, not doing the rears yet.
