    Tools you love, cant live without!

    Yes they are real, Traxion was the original I believe and are around $450, but knockoffs from Vevor and others available on Amazon for about $160 or so. Surprisingly not at HF though.

    Tools you love, cant live without!

    I get it lol way back in the younger days I could sit inside the engine compartment of my old square body GMC. Now I look at my lifted vehicles and wonder how much DIY is worth these days... Did have a chance to borrow a top side creeper on one of my recent projects and what a...

    Tools you love, cant live without!

    I miss the old days before microchips invaded the automobile. couple of wrenches, a multimeter, duct tape and bailing wire took care of most things. Now is seems a code reader, specialty sockets and a bag of random sensors is the new kit. And yes I do belong to the carry a letterman...

    best way to clean RTT canvas?

    I have used a bleach solution on a ground tent previously with less than good results, looked good at first, but mold came back quickly and worse. Apparently the bleach just lightens the color of the mold and does not really get rid of it so it grow back with a vengeance. I have heard good...

    Overland Expo PNW, June 26-28, 2026. Who's Going?

    That's our plan also. Definitely not stuck in a 20x20 box, and you still have access to the vendor parties and events that happen after the main gates close

    How to make Toast when one has gone full electrical

    LOL This might work better than hooking up my USB heated vest to a much higher voltage and placing a piece of bread in each pocket, or wrapping wire mesh around my JK's catalytic converters... any of these brings back my early days of trucking and heating frozen burritos on the engine of...

    We are suckers for punishment! We are buying another Wranlger.

    We love our Rubicon JKU, yes they have their issues, but so does every other vehicle. We have found doing proper maintenance, learning what are common fail points are and being proactive with fixing them before failure, and being religious on after trip inspections has left us with what we...

    Overland Lube

    I prefer to flush out (using transmission pump, not a flushing machine) our JKU transmission while also replacing the filter, uses a bit more fluid but have been happy with the results after many changes in all the Jeeps had or worked on. Knock on wood have not had a transmission failure in...

    Vehicle choice advice

    We are one our second roof top tent on our JKU. We researched all the available racks and found most have ratings far below what we needed and a lot of them are not rated at all. We looked at the Rhino Rack Backbone system as it carries weight down to the metal body, but was not happy with...
