Sparky,
The most important survival skill is one that would be great to display right now....stay calm :)
Even when folks offer advice you don't like or think is reasonable it is important to think it over and be gracious in your response. Why? Because you are already putting into practice a...
I have not dealt with snow chains in forever...so forgive me is this a dumb question.
Does this set cover all 4 tires or just 2...and if 2 which 2 do you apply them?

I really like the stuffed animals, give a real bit of fun to the shots
the truck looks well setup and glad you guys could handle the cold..that is a bit chilly for me
So does the trail go all the way through now? I would like...
I love my Spot Sat Messenger and didn't mention your PLB because there was nothing negative to say about it :)
I know you mentioned the 5gal of water but there are many reasons to carry at least a few liters (in seperate 1 L bottles) in your ditch bag:

I looked over your list and here are some thoughts...

This bag has the important...
that is an amazing price for a trailer & tent combo...and has electric brakes
very nice setup and I am looking forward to catching up with you again at the Overland Expo
Had a good time working with my son while we changed out the Edelbrock carb that was on the rig
Over to this craigslist Holley Off Road Avenger
The change over gave me a change to hook up a vacuum gauge and teach about how an engine makes vacuum & boost through the 4 stroke cycle and then to...
Zimm I will call BS on your post.
OJ has always prided themselves on scientific testing testing vs the junk most of the 4wd mags in the US publish....Graham's water filter testing, the fridge testing, the winch testing, heck even the awning test was all about windspeed and forces and such.

Don't blow all your budget fixing things that aren't broken.

If the truck runs well know then just save money and fix something when it does break. Get AAA for any...
Lizard Skin is the same basic stuff as what I linked to .....just a bunch more money.
This has been well explored in the Street Rod community, use some google power and you will see what I am talking about.
I will be gutting my 1970 Suburban and giving it the same treatment my Troopie got...
Sorry Mikey when you mentioned the Relic Run I thought you were in Az....oops

Great info flying around this thread!
Glad to see another Burb on here, especially that wicked Cummins monster!
No idea the ratio yet, gotta reach back into the brain on how to figure it out. I will check for a tag.
