    Goodyear Wrangler Boulder mt tire.

    Seems like a strong possibility when our ZR2 needs new shoes.

    Colorado ZR2 Bison Build

    Yes, me too eventually. What I believe happened, based on what I saw for pics : Both people had some type of open bed Overland Rack RTT setup and both ripped the sheetmetal in very close proximity on both sides to where the rear rack supports mounted. And maybe some terrain was taken a little...

    Pendleton Yakima Camp blankets

    I am 61 now, finally picked up a 2nd Pendleton Yakima Camp blanket, both queen size, 90x90. I got a deal on both. 1st one I bought when a store called Galyan's was going out of business in 04'. Picked it up for $129+ tax. Second one was only $40 off but still better than full price. In case...

    Stacktech from Tough Built-New option for camping storage/chuckboxes

    Yup, drawers are a game changer vs having to unstrap, separate, then open each individually. I am already bought into the Ridgid platform but they also just came out with drawers. I like the versatility of having 1,2,3 or 4 drawer options. Helps with odd sized/shaped items.

    ISSUE with Dometic Go 11L water Jug

    Good to know. I was thinking about trying one of those out. Seems like a neat unit. I am really digging some of their gear lately.

    12v Winch Wiring

    I absolutely agree on the winch being used way more to pull yourself back out of what ever you got into, rather than the front. We had a 08' Power Wagon and the entire electrical system for the winch was way under sized. I think that they actually remied the system on the newer ones and at one...

    Sleeping in vehicle in black bear country (what to do with food)

    Many people don't know this but YETI rotomolded coolers are actually certified bear resistant but only if you have 2 locks to help hold the lid closed. And I would also chain it to a tree or something substantial. Same rules here too - no food, snacks, toothpaste or anything food related come...

    Favorite Swiss Army Knives?

    I have a Huntsman, in a leather sheath with a bic lighter and a mini sharpening steel, that actually works fantastically for keeping it sharp in the field.

    2014 Xventure XV-2 - $13k

    What makes it even more difficult is, that I am not that far away from you. I am around Buffalo. Good luck with the sale.

    2014 Xventure XV-2 - $13k

    Awesome trailer. I would have this sitting in my driveway by now if I had the money. But it just isn't in the cards right now. Someone needs to buy this. They are the best offroad trailers I've ever seen.

    sPod Burned Out

    Yeah, things that can cause a fire ain't no joke. You are always better off to err on the side of caution & if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, pay a reputable shop to do it for you. We almost lost a brand new Toyota 4RUNNER to an electrical fire. It was literally seconds away...

    Need to find solar parts in Baja!!!

    I am sure that everyone knows or at least heard the phrase, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When traveling to remote areas, it is worth every minute of your time to ensure you bring hard to find parts you might need with you. Also, specific stuff that you may need depending on...

    Colorado ZR2 Bison Build

    I'm still leaning hard towards the Dirtbox Canopy Camper for our 23' ZR2. I called & got some details. What I was told by authorized dealer: $2000.00 down and you also have to pay for any & all options up front, at the same time you put the money down. Life is happening but that's still the...

    Is anyone else waiting.......

    Almost any truck on portals looks cool ! Very expensive but it gives you the offroad trifecta: lift, ground clearance and lower gearing, for bigger tires.

    Is anyone else waiting.......

    Litium batteries for winching

    We had a 2008 Dodge Power Wagon. It had a winch and a 160 amp alternator & 1150 cca battery and it was unbelievably inadequate for running the winch. The charging system light would start flashing after 10 seconds of light duty winch work. Only thing that solved it was a 370 amp alternator and...

    Victron Orion DC to DC charger cooling

    Well, heat and moisture is the enemy of electronics. I have had 2 power amps loose a channel because of heat. That was in the days long before non contact thermometers, lol. But yes heat is definitely the enemy over long periods of time. If you can easily reduce the temperature, it is time and...

    Can we talk coffee brewing?

    I'm currently waiting for a new Stanley 48 oz coffee pot. Been looking at it for a while and caught it on sale w/free shipping.

    One Bad Battery

    Technology is great. The whole world advances everytime someone invents something new. I have 3 agm batteries. One is from 2006. The other 2 are Cabelas X-900 agm .They are all still working and charge to 13.6v. Sometimes simpler is better. Sometimes not.

    Thoughts for an Overlander in today's market? Suggestions?

    Whether it's reliable long term or not remains to be seen. But I love our truck and yes, compliments and questions every time we go out. Even our mailman said it looks angry, Lol. We also had a 2019 red diesel ZR2 and a Power Wagon w/G-56 before that. Once you have lockers, you just don't...
