    Maxtrax vs X-bull

    I too always thought the Maxtrax were the "gold standard" for traction boards. Still do. If I were going to be gone for months and months at a time, or to another country, I would definitely get two sets of Maxtrax (at about $600) with no regrets. I've never read anything bad about them...

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    Dirtworx made the rear bumper for my TJ. I've been very happy with it - I've put thousands of miles on it overlanding. My Jeep with this bumper is also pictured on his website.

    Brilliant idea. I'll do that next time. Usually I put a dab of JB-Weld on the backside, but I like your idea.

    Tool Overkill?

    I carry a small zippered pouch with basic sockets, screwdriver tips, plyers, etc. when just driving around town. It is about the size of a regular bible. It'll handle most any small job. Gotta swap a battery or an alternator in a parking lot? Got it covered. When going on an adventure, I...

    Towing with a 2 door Jeep Wrangler. Can you find fault with my testing methodology?

    Another vote for a brake controller. You should be able to adjust the amount of braking the controller does for the trailer, whether it is a blue-tooth model, or one that mounts to the dash. So your trailer's brakes can be very mild or much stronger - your choice. With mine, the...

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    I use NRS cam buckle straps. They have two different types; one type has loops on the ends, so you just wrap the loop around the whatever, and pull the strap through. They come in different lengths. And there's pretty much no limit as to what size of whatever you wanted to wrap them around...

    Short-term Glitch GAIA GPS Fixed

    Thanks. I initially downloaded the TAT maps on my non apple laptop (with the GAIA icon) , and then pulled them up on my iPad and phone. Now the laptop is 1400 miles away. I need to sit down at a Starbucks with my iPad and try these suggestions. Right now I'm at a KOA campground in NE on my...

    Ok, looks better already after updating to 2021.5. Let me get back on the road (at a Starbucks using their internet). Thank you for your patience. I am quite the gearhead, but with computers... not so much.

    iPad not receiving GPS like it should

    Driving across the country from WA to WV to start the TAT. Got GAIA on both my android phone and gen 7 iPad. Both set to 2000 ft view, both have same overlays. Phone shows roads and such just fine. iPad screen looks like I'm looking through a cloud. Someone mentioned (if I'm saying this...

    Collection of Trailer Builds

    Was made by a shop in NC (if I remember right it was in NC) named Diamond Deluxe. Diamond Deluxe I think they were sold by their parent company, Jackson Creek Mfg. So I'm not sure who would still make it now. I would check with Jackson Creek first. Essentially my trailer tub is just a big...

    Detroit Eaton True Trac - How do they work?

    I've got them front and rear in my truck, and I love them. The truck seems unstoppable in the snow in 4WD, and you don't notice them in 2WD. I feel much more confident off-road and in the snow in the truck than when I did with open diffs front and rear. 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 5.2/auto, 2"...
