    Horrendous Customer Service - Wild Boar

    Funny how I might have been willing to tell folks to check out their products just as something interesting or different before reading those emails...Now I will absolutely pass on this info with a comment that folks NOT do biz with these guys. There are plenty of small companies trying very...

    2002 BMW Dakar F650GS with a lefty sidecar homebuild

    So time to start working on my sidecar build. A few things to know, I am putting the hack on the left as that is the side my prosthetic leg is on and it will be much easier to have a nice big foot pad over there. Also easier to get on & off the bike from the right. I have been doing a bunch...

    70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

    I actually really like the quad headlight look of the GMC's over the Chevy grills.... Would be too cool to someday round out the collection of my granddad's 72 C-10 truck, my 70 Burb and then get a Blazer....not sure if I would want a lowered 2wd or nice 4wd thanks for posting the pic

    Rally Diabolico - Altar Desert, Sonora, Mexico

    Keep us posted about the need for support... If Ozrockrat can't make it I might be able to...I speak spanish, ICU RN, Wilderness EMT and run a rig with fridge/awning and all the goodies....just not the amount of space Oz has in his killer setup. As much as I would like to compete in this it...

    1972 Chevy C-20 Truck

    Travis great looking truck you have there.... Even better history to go with it. I have my grandfathers 72 C-10 and my youngest son is now prepping it for his first high school ride. Then there is my 70 Burb that is our family camping rig. Looking forward to seeing you give your old girl a new...

    Showers and Hygiene- How often? With what water?

    On a near daily basis I either use baby wipes or a bowl of hot water & a washcloth with Dr Bronners (love that stuff)... Depending on travel plans/route every 3-4 days I like a hotel/hostel to have a change/resupply/wash clothes and such... For showers I have never treated water that seemed...

    FS: National Luna Weekender 50L Stainless Scratch & Dent

    No one should be the least bit worried about a small dent in one of these fridges...I had one and beat the crap out of it and it was amazing. National Luna makes the best fridge on the market with nice low amp draw and killer looks. I wish I could pony up the cash for this but someone will get a...

    FS: ARB 50QT Fridge Freezer with Transit Bag (superb condition)

    Let this be a warning to Snowcracker and anyone else, we don't tolerate this kind of bashing around here. We don't allow comments about price in a for sale thread. We sure don't allow the spirit of this post. If is was a friendly joke between friends around the campfire we might get that is was...

    70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

    Alongside the giant hole in the ground that is the Queen mine pit there is the preserved rementant of one of the small towns that grew up with Bisbee, but didn't survive. However the street is really cool to walk around and check out. Of course this street was much cooler with a couple of...

    70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

    Sorry for the delay in finishing this trip report....life, oh how it gets in the way :) So we were coming down the mountain Sunday morning heading into Bisbee, checking out the "I can design stranger house than you" development and I realized how lucky I am to have quality people to help me...

    Bushwacker SEMA Ford

    Remember that SEMA is focused on manufacturers selling to retailers....and retailers know that more of this mall-amazing type crap sells that true hardcore or overlanding rigs. This has all the bling needed by someone who might go play in mud or bash down a desert wash at most. For me I agree...

    70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

    Morning rolled around too soon, I sleep really well camping and even with some overnight rain it was a good night. I will say the wet actually shows what Nick's rig looked like back in the day....maybe he should consider paint....hahahahahaha Lest anyone think the rebuilt rig is too fancy for...

    70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

    Due to the extra time we had spent along the way we got into Bisbee a bit late in the afternoon/eve to really see or do much...unless we wanted to roll into camp about o'dark thirty. So we made a call to head out to find camp and come back to walk the town/mining museum in the am. And here is...

    A Daddy-Daughter Trip...Time to Say Goodbye to the Desert, For Now!

    like others have said you are doing a great job of buidling memories that will last the rest of both of your lives... I have always done trips with just my sons, and often a trip with only 1 of them at a time. It allows you to focus on them and talk about things you can't when other folks are...

    70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

    MAACO is a franchise setup I think as I could tell a large difference between the 2 shops near me...so make sure to stop in and talk with them. For the money on a trail rig I think it is a good deal...but I have a carport and so I can't spray or I would just do my own paint for the giggles of...

    70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

    Paint looks great...thin and can chip easy but it is a MAACO job so I don't have huge expectations. The gloss has a warranty so if it fades I will be right back in their shop. I have more pics to post including some desert pinstripping that the paint held up to. Best of all my wife is very...

    70 C-20 4x4 Suburban Father/Son project

    And after a lunch of Bufflo Burgers and other hearty fix'ns we got out of town and hit some dirt on the way to Gleeson. Some houses in the area still in use, and there is an effort to steer more tourist this way....that is always a good & bad thing. The new springs & Fox shocks with Fox...
