    Australian and British bloggers arrested in Iran

    Indeed. And, Iran just arrested another foreigner for so-called "spying". Boogeymen everywhere.

    Gladiators on the Rubicon Trail

    How much $$$$$ is in LiteBrite's JLU? I watched the Hemi install videos and iirc the figure of $35K was tossed about. Cannot remember, though, if that is retail or otd ...

    Gladiators on the Rubicon Trail

    Thanks. This is interesting and relevant to the discussion: The trucks we drove were bone stock. Tires were aired down to 22 psi to give the factory-fitment Falken Wildpeak A/T tires better purchase on some of the rocks and to make for a less-bouncy ride.

    Gladiators on the Rubicon Trail

    IMHO, no. Too much assistance rendered. I think the test has to be more than just passage with minimal trail rash. If I want to take my stock Gladiator on the Rubicon (not that I do, or would), I don't want to have to go with 4 or 5 of my best friends to push and pile rocks. What is your opinion?

    Cringe worthy at times, but kudos to FCA for putting this on, warts and all.

    Wildlife Photography

    Sigh. Saw another, possibly same, rattlesnake about .5 mile from the other sighting. Didn't take a picture of this one cause some futnuck decided to remove its head and rattle. I get killing snakes in a backyard or garage, but not in the wild; it's their home after all. *** Found this...

    Beyond the Truck: Grand Canyon Solitaire

    I liked what I was able to read and see ... but, the blog site was wonky, and didn't fully load. Reload made it worse :(. I will try later again.

    Beyond the Truck: Grand Canyon Solitaire

    I thought the escalator idea was the pinnacle of stupid excess. But, Einstein's axiom of infinite human stupidity is proven again. Why do these futnucks have such a hard-on for the confluence???

    Ahh ... The myth of "green energy" exposed. There is no free lunch.

    What It Feels Like to Die from Heat Stroke

    I know I am OT here, but ... the Escalante Route is such a fantastic hike. Papago Slide, 2017: Beamer's Cabin, 2016: Yup, that's my ugly mug.

    What It Feels Like to Die from Heat Stroke

    Myers' book is fascinating, and IMHO should be required reading. @shade to second @jgaz response, I think that most people will find themselves in trouble far from the Colorado. The main South-North (South Rim) and North -South (North Rim) corridor trails are avenues to/from the Colorado. For...

    What It Feels Like to Die from Heat Stroke

    Good stuff this! Thanks for sharing. Perhaps this question is too technical for an internet forum ... but what is the tipping point where symptoms are no longer reasonably treatable in the field? Years ago, I was taught (military first aid) that vomiting, or the inability to intake/hold food...

    New Dakota Is The Latest Entry Into The Mid Sized Truck Market

    Sometime ago, there were also rumors of an inline 6, "Tornado" engine, as a 5.7 replacement. Maybe that died???
