I thought you had to go with option 2 for synthetic cable?? Wouldn't the rope wedge itself into the gap at the end of each roller??

I run a receiver rack on the front of mine occasionally. I don't have any overheating issues. On a tj/yj you have ~10" between the radiator and the front edge of the bumper. Add a rack and you have at least twelve. I usually have two large ice chests on my front rack. Airflow is not an...

I tried to get the balistc nylon sheath for mine and was told they only had the plastic box for the XL axe (~28"). I ended up making a sheath by folding a 2" piece of webbing in half lengthwise, ironing it flat and putting grommets in the ends to hold it together. I use a thin bungie thru the...

I may have watched Mad Max one too many times as a kid:ar15: Just kidding, they are actually to hold my new Gerber axe. Thanks for hooking me up Wil

They probably would, with either you have to make a "necklace" to attach to the top of the ascendar and around your neck. Light cord works fine, it's not for life support, it just pulls the ascendar up the rope as you stand. The climbing technique is sometimes called "frog" if you want to...

I like the paint scheme:chowtime: , I just did mine in desert camo but no stars yet. I'm thinking about one for the hood. Yours looks great.

You are hard core wearing a caving harness:) for 3 hours. not much cushion or comfort built into them. I have a petzl of that style. I like the super low attachment point. Did you ever try one of these ascendars? It attaches directly to the harness and lets you do sit/stand ascending...

Wow, 3 hours is a long time to sit in a harness:( But I'd do it in a second.:) What kind of rappal device did you use?

It looks tough in stock form, nice.

I am looking for an axe with a plastic handle to keep in the jeep. Its primary job will be cutting back dead falls across trails. I saw some heavy duty fire/rescue axes but they might be overkill. Does anyone have an experience with these Gerber axes? Virtually unbreakable polyamide handles...

I like your roof rack, custom?

You should have stopped after bullet item #3, what else matters;) Seriously, I go out with a bunch of cherokees of all sizes. Those on 31s always blow me away. I think they usually have a 3-4.5" lift. They flex nice, hill climb circles around me, keep the trails interesting, and travel at...

My Optima yellow top performs as advertised. Long winch pulls and my assorted electronic gadgets don't seem to bother it.

Never knew that practice had a name:sunflower. I have a 5 degree synthetic North Face mummy. I almost always use it "quilt" style, It is soo much more comfortable. If it's really cold, I throw on heavy weight poly pro and a watch cap. The foot pocket on a cold mummy works great. Keep your...

Butter, lemon, salt and pepper, fry her up right on the stream bank, yum. I had a lousy first day on the stocked steams, but spent last Saturday morning on the Little Juniata and killed them:ylsmoke: There are some nice browns near Greer School.

Me Eating Crow last weekend:clapsmile

I 've never done it but I don't think the fiberglass would support that kind of weight. There are several companys that make racks that bolt to the body and support roof racks. If you're set on bolting to the roof, I'd look at bracing the mounting points to the roll bar inside. Maybe some...

Petzl makes some good lamps, I have a Zoom from ~1991, that has been severly abused, submerged, dropped many times and its still going strong. I bought the tikka when they were first released. I've never had it in water but it's still going strong too. I have a Princton tec that acta a little...

I have the one in the first pic. It works really well it you also supplemnt with ice. I add a 2 liter bottle of ice and it will stay cold for a weekend. I once left it on in a 98 RAM1500. It drained the battery to the point that it somehow wacked the computer. Once I finally go it to start...

Nice pics, we had awesome weather over in Central PA as well:sunny: You didn't post the obligatory kid on top of rock pic?? God put them rocks there to climb dad. Edit: never mind, I caught him pic#5
