    Jack my stuff up. Need jack help/ suggestions.

    I have the safe jack kit, bought a bottle jack locally though. Its been pretty handy, much easier to move about than the hi-lift. stores nicely under the rear seat even.

    Anyone have recommendations for Good quality Cloth seat covers?

    I'm running generic seat covers bought out of oreillys, or auto zone. They've held up pretty well for a couple years, but I can tell the thinner sides are wearing out. But they're as cheap as you go.

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    If you didnt, it can help to lift a corner of the vehicle to give more digging room or take pressure off of the obstruction, if terrain allows. Digging is one of those lessons you learn from quickly. Glad you made it out without damage.

    Sleeping Gear

    When we stopped ice broke off our boots. I never felt so cold. I've ridden through torrential downpours, wind storms, wildfire smoke (which is probably the most scared I've ever been in my bleeding life) and I still wouldn't trade it for anything. Every bad moment is an opportunity to learn and...

    So motorcycle overlanding

    Mine is also a 13. I have heated liners from cycle gear, so I ride down to 30ºF. I might be able to get away with a little more on the Tiger as it has heated grips as well.

    Roof top wiring?

    Delphi, Deutsch, mulitlock, molex all make weather resistant connectors, and are prevalent in cars, trucks, and motorcycles. If a connector works 5" above the road totally exposed, roof applications should be easy.

    Land between the Lakes on Two Wheels

    I had the chance to spend Saturday roaming around the Land between the Lakes national rec area on my triumph. And had a blast. I havent been able to get out on this bike enough, and the stock tires are mostly street biased, so I was taking it carefully. This place has something for everyone. I...

    Got out a bit this weekend. Land between the lakes national rec area, with 200 miles of roads. They allow dispersed camping 3 days for $7. About 730 miles total.

    2007 GMC Sierra NNBS Build (slowly but surely)

    I just put these on from Race parts. If I break them I'm done for.

    2007 GMC Sierra NNBS Build (slowly but surely)

    I've got a BDS 6", put it on in 2007. Until now no issues. Two of the BDS shocks now have blown seals, so I'm getting Bilsteins and replacing the rear leafs+ blocks with sky jacker lift springs. BDS kits now come with FOX shocks, and you can order the lift springs as an upgrade in the kit...

    Sierra Cement in full swing!

    Maybe I should winter in FL. I was playing on the beach last week.

    Thoughts and reasons for your chosen rig

    When I started dating my wife she had a 2004 Silverado 1500 crew 2wd. After driving it for a couple years I was very fond of it and its set up. So when I replaced my 85 C-10 I got a 2007 K2500HD. All the things I loved, with way more capability.

    CJ-8 Scrambler Build - This may take awhile

    Welcome to older Jeeps. the first thing I did with my 67 jeepster was have a new wiring harness put in, with more than 3 fuses. There are some headaches, but these little guys will go damn near anywhere.

    Deflating for comfortable ride

    I recently adjusted my rear 37" interco M16s to 35 PSI when unloaded, 42 PSI front. Its a far stretch from the 80 PSI that the OEM rear tires ran. But when I get an alignment, without fail the shop puts all tires at OEM PSI.

    Adjustable Cable locks

    I saw a pic of a members rear mounted gear, with a standard cable lock loosely run through and thought I would throw this out there. These little master-locks come in various cable widths, are adjustable, and can be daisy chained for more length if needed. I got one when I bought a nicer mnt...
