    OBs and OBWs: Outback, Outback Wilderness

    I can't find the clip, but there's a couple video's of some Subaru owners near Red Cone being laughed at by some Jeeper's saying they can't do it, they then proceeded to do it quite well.

    So, what's in your Recovery Bag?

    This post actually made me start updating my recovery equipment. Unfortunately, due to a really screwy work schedule, I don't get out as much as I want, only about twice a year, but for other situations it's still good to carry the equipment. I'm actually watching to see what various companies...

    What are the strongest 5/8" hitch pins for recovery use?

    Learned this recently, a "hitch pin" as supplied for a receiver hitch is designed for towing, not for recovery, different stresses, while a towing use is a more constant stress, and a recovery is a sudden, occasional stress, they are different. I was delivering to a farmer, got the semi stuck...

    Alu Cab vs A.R.E. Bed caps

    I have an A.R.E. CX with the Overland (Rhino lining) spray on my 2015 Nissan Frontier, bought it when I bought the truck new, overall I've been happy with it, but I will say the quality of the paint could be better, I had an A.R.E. on my previous vehicle and the paint seemed to hold up better...

    Subframe storage

    There used to be a company in Oklahoma that made running boards for some models of SUV that had a removable lid, and you could store stuff inside. I had a Dodge Ramcharger equipped with these, they were thicker and stronger than normal.

    What are the best sources of air lines, manifolds and fitting for on-board air?

    the push connect air tubing fails quicker than regular compression fitting tubing. Most of the semi manufacturers use the push connect fittings for small airlines, and they are the most common failure or out of service item, seems like every PM service on my semi, the mechanic is replacing a...

    Aux switches. What to look at (SPOD, ARB LINX or Switch Pros)

    I had a talk with the guys at Nisstec about this subject a few months ago, if you have the money to spend, Switchpros is the better option, a few Spod folks, including those with the higher end Bantam have said they wished they had gone with Swithcpros. On the lower end, the Amazon specials...

    OME “lean”

    I have OME MD springs on the rear of my Frontier, regularly carry 200 lbs in the back, only time I notice a difference in the springs is when it's off the ground at the tire shop, the right rear hangs lower than the left rear, apparently that's normal. If you have a spring shop near you, maybe...

    '15 Frontier CC LWB, improvements for backcountry and roadtrips

    From guys I've talked to, and builds I've seen, the dual battery setup, with moving the PS reservoir gets mixed results, mixed feelings. The D40 Navarra sold in the rest of the world, comes mostly with a diesel, and typically only uses one battery, but the builds I see on those, they put the...
