    Not Showing Up On Map

    I joined as a member a couple of weeks ago. It looks like most of my profile features are working, but for some reason, I do not show up on the map, nor is there a "view map" link on my forum posts. Is there something that I need to activate? Or do I need to pass a certain amount of posts or...

    Airing down.

    I have a 2-door JK. Ran Duratrac 285/70R17 down to 14 psi on the Rubicon Trail with no problems.

    Do You Keep a Vehicle Journal?

    Yes, I've been keeping logs on all my vehicles for decades. They keep me abreast on when oil change, tire rotation, etc is due. They also keep running totals on costs of each vehicle (like it really matters).

    Coffee Set Ups

    I've been using a Peet's plastic coffee cup/french press for years. But that Perkomax sure does look interesting...

    Yeti vs Pelican cooler quick overview

    I purchased a Yeti 65L a few months back. So far, I'm very happy with it, but I've only used it once- a 4 day outing. I used four Freez Pak™ Extra Cold -2°C Reusable Ice bricks to aid in keeping the cooler cold to supplement the ice. At the end of my trip, there was still a small amount of ice...

    Spot-X two way satellite messenger.

    Good honest evaluation. I've been looking into eventually getting a SpotX myself. I, fortunately, have an assortment of Windows systems, as well as a few Macs laying around. I'll just hope for the best, when it's time to bite the bullet :)

    What camera should i buy?

    You might just check out your local Costco. They frequently have "entry level" camera outfits on sale, both Nikon and Canon. A couple of years ago, I bought the Nikon D3300 bundle for my trip to the Galapagos Islands. The package included the body, 2 lenses and a bag (plus a bunch of tutorial...

    Rotopax vs. Fuelpax

    That's a hardy endorsement. I'll really have to consider the Fuelpax. It really comes down to the configuration of how I'm going to carry them. I'm leaning towards mounting a mounting plate to my tailgate HD hinges to the passenger side of my spare, then stacking 2 together, which would rule out...

    Rotopax vs. Fuelpax

    Hmmm....didn't really think about that. I guess I hadn't imagined that they were so soft and flimsy. Definitely food for thought. And thanks v_man for your good suggestion. I'm still deliberating.

    Rotopax vs. Fuelpax

    Thanks for the great insights. I too was thinking about getting two 3-gallon vessels, but am still a little bit unclear as to what "stackable" means. I have seen pictures of users stacking them side-by-side like books and stacking one on top of the other, snapping together like Lego pieces. I am...

    Rotopax vs. Fuelpax

    I'm looking for fuel storage for my rig. I've ruled out the traditional Jerry cans and have narrowed my search to the Rotopax systems. What is the main differences between the Rotopax and the Fuelpax besides the price? What is the caveat? Durability? Production quality? Convenience features? Of...

    Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

    Howdy. New member here. I bought a 2017 2-dr Jeep JK Sport last October and have been slowly modding it ever since. I was planning on easing into the overland scene by starting with Utah's parks this fall, but plans changed and we signed up for the Rubicon Trail with Jeepers Jamboree instead...
