Been having issues with water getting in the pumpkin of my front dana 60, added high breathers and new inner seals, but it still get inside, they dont make a good outer seal. Was thinking I would drill a 1/4 hole outside the axel seals on the bottom of the axel tube to let water drain out. Since...
Well I thought I had researched the Coyote Flats trail in the eastern sierras as much as I needed to, but failed to notice anything about what size vehicles should go on it. So off I went with my buddy in his jeep and I in my 92 W250 with FWC camper. Well all I had read made it sound pretty...
Went to convict lake last week on a shake down to see how the camper did in cold weather and learned the following:
At 15 F the can of propane screwed into the buddy heater only lasted half the night on low setting. 2 only lasted till the early morning. The low setting with windows cracked kept...

As many of our Overland rigs will qualify as Bug Out vehicles also, I would challenge my fellow over landers to come up with the best bug out rig and why. I will start with my own.
Assume a natural disaster that leaves your city infrastructure severely damaged or society breaks down or an EMP...
Want to replace my old and dead 3 way from my 2004 Grandby, sure there must be a specific 2 way that just sips the watts and fits the dimensions of that opening?
Curious what the ramifications are if I use my POV when doing volunteer SAR? Do I need special insurance, do I write off the expense? Thinking about getting into SAR after I retire and understand the cert situation for myself, but no sure how the POV fits into the picture?
