    Rugged Off-Road Hitch Rack

    In my search for a decent rack for our new truck, I came across the 1up Super Duty Rack. This is definitely going to fit the bill for us. Wade, I noticed a rather nifty "swing away" accessory on their website that might serve your needs. Our application is slightly different than Howard's...

    Is Mountain Biking the Biggest Threat to New Wilderness Designations?

    Haha. Struck a nerve I see. Yeah, I have no idea of the issue from “their” perspective. Lol. No one is advocating for eliminating ranching on public lands. Only pointing out that the concept of wilderness is in direct conflict with livestock. And that our public lands shouldn’t have...

    2015 Isuzu NPR Crew cab 4x4 Ultimate Expo Vehicle

    No kidding. Would be straight up perfect. Especially with a roof top tent mother-in-law quarters over the cab.

    Idaho Tackling a Tough Land Use Issue

    This is certainly a serious issue in at least Idaho and DEFINITELY Colorado. The cynic in me wonders when Idaho's largest landowners (Simplot, Holding Family, Timber Companies) decide this little rebellion of the peasants has gotten out of hand and start greasing palms to keep it from...

    Is Mountain Biking the Biggest Threat to New Wilderness Designations?

    Going to start a different thread on this so as not to hijack the Mountain Biking slant of this - but it's encouraging nonetheless. Couple MT Bikers in the crowd here as well..... https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article226169600.html

    Is Mountain Biking the Biggest Threat to New Wilderness Designations?

    As I've said. That depends on the perspective.......and what you are comparing it to. But if you are trying to sell me that these public land ranchers are - as a group - some downtrodden, put-upon, blue collar land stewards.....you best just keep walking cuz I'm not buying. I think that is...

    Is Mountain Biking the Biggest Threat to New Wilderness Designations?

    Good info Dave. But at the heart of the matter is the fact that cattlemen haven't had to compete with other users groups for the leasing of that land. Notice I said COMPETE. Clearly, there are plenty of instances of cattlemen losing their lease because of some tree-hugging enterprise...

    Is Mountain Biking the Biggest Threat to New Wilderness Designations?

    The wilderness act has an exemption in it that allows grazing on ALL wilderness lands - assuming there was grazing occurring at the time of passage. Which pretty much means everywhere grazing is even remotely feasible - because there were cows grazing anywhere they could be supported. So, to...

    Expedition Vehicle selection thoughts?

    Apologies, I've already made my choice. I simply thought the discussion had merit in the context of people (like the OP) who are weighing their options across the broad spectrum of choices. EDIT: Speaking of which, is there a specific way you addressed the frame flex on your sprinter with the...

    Expedition Vehicle selection thoughts?

    Charlie brings up some interesting points. I don't think it would be considered thread drift to discuss the merits/drawbacks of 3pt mounts in the context of Expedition vehicles. Is there any consensus around when a 3pt is needed/desired vs virtually necessary? Meaning, is there a weight...

    MAN TGM OFF ROAD HOME

    I’ve always thought the same thing. Can anyone explain the “door within a door”? Is that like a screen door with a cover or something like that? Awesome truck.

    Is Mountain Biking the Biggest Threat to New Wilderness Designations?

    Couldn’t agree more. The thing that rubs me raw is people weaponizing wilderness to shut out other users- not just corporations. If they don’t want drilling, then let’s just say “we don’t want drilling here” but still allow roads to stay open, and full public access. This push to make...

    Thanks I will be curious to hear your report. That forum thread was really informative.

    Another two Sportsmobile design failures.

    Hahaha. Yeah, it was the owners fault that the Amsoil system was installed backwards and the electrical systems looked like a retarded kid installed them. Stormlover is right, about the only thing that was dead solid perfect on my van was the 4WD system. Too bad between the shoddy electric...

    The airgun thread - lets see where this goes.

    Just bought a DonnyFL silencer for our Talon SS. Between the built-in suppressor in the talon ss and the DonnyFL addition, its pretty darn quiet. Almost as quiet as the suppressed 10/22 (without the bolt sound) This guy makes some good kit. DonnyFL Airgun Silencers

    I think as far as a shop jack, I'm going to end up with one of these RakJaks. They seem pretty handy....
