    Articulating hitch recommendations

    That looks like it would be ideal for his application since it would slip right into the trailer tongue and can be secured with an off-the-shelf locking pin or a large bolt.

    Articulating hitch recommendations

    I want to be clear that this situation was entirely of your own making and I take zero responsibility for your bank balance. :sunglasses:

    Get Over it!!! (Overland Humor :-)

    Oof, been there. Am I the only one who noticed that the late-model Chevy seems to have a carburetor?

    How To: 4Runner Shrockworks Bumper Turn Signal Retrofit

    I have a family member with a 2012 (5th Generation) 4Runner Trail with a Shrockworks bumper. Shrockworks folded suddenly, leaving a lot of people without their orders and without availability for parts. A design flaw in the bumper for these vehicles is the turn signal housings; they are...

    GPS/Tablet

    My trusty 7" Lenovo has finally died, so I'm looking for another Android tablet with cell connectivity. Finding something that will fit the dash of a TJ without filling the entire windshield is the challenge, 7" Android tablets with cell service are kind of hard to find. This vehicle is going...

    Chevrolet Colorado

    My rig is getting a little long in the tooth and I'm pretty set on a midsize truck as a replacement. I'm doing a lot more towing and hauling these days with track riding, and the Xterra has to be packed very specifically to get everything in. The Colorado is on my list, but with the current...

    Late November near St. George, Utah

    I've always focused on other parts of the state, but I'm wanting to get out in late November somewhere a little less snowy. Does anyone have any recommendations in the St. George area of Utah (and into Arizona)?

    UT Resources for less travelled places

    If you want to see as few people as possible, get a backcountry permit for The Maze District in Canyonlands. I specifically recommend Maze Overlook and The Neck campsites.

    What is the Quintessential Camp Food?

    Here is my basic recipe that I can't do without when camping, I can get by with bagged breakfasts and dehydrated dinner and I won't complain - but this is a staple. Campfire - first get that nice slow, hot fire going with a good bed of coals and some larger logs that will burn for a while. Be...

    Camp Photos!

    Sunday morning on White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park. The kitchen was mostly packed away for the night since the weather was threatening.

    Wanted Mountain States: M416 Project Trailer

    I've been checking on KSL, but haven't seen much. I think I saw one, but it was closer to "scrap heap" than "project".

    Wanted Mountain States: M416 Project Trailer

    I'm in Salt Lake City, UT and am keeping an eye out for an M416 project trailer. Unfortunately, I'm not able to buy a completed project right now, so I'm going to be putting in the elbow grease. If anyone spots an M416 for sale that isn't a pile of rust held together with paint, please let...

    Bottle Jacks

    I saw that, but all of those jacks are simple hydraulic systems that have to be quite bulky to get the height I need - and that doesn't address the challenge of getting a large jack under a vehicle with a flat on uneven ground. I have a HF jack that I thought would be sufficient and ended up...

    Bottle Jacks

    I've tried a couple different hydraulic bottle jacks and I'm disappointed in their performance. They have to be stored upright, the seals tend to go bad over time, and all the one's I've bought have very limited lifting heights. Any that have enough lift are often too tall to fit under the...
