Love it. I have a 96 outback beater that I've been working on. Still contemplating switching platforms to the Forester but for now I'm loving the battle wagon.
Keep up the great posts, they get my creative juices flowing lol
Got me a new toy a few weeks ago. 2014 crf250 bored out to 300cc.
Fuel injected and currently set up with super moto wheels, brakes and tires.
It came with the factory rims and tires but they need new tires. I'll get some DOT dirt tires when I have the suspension tuned up.
I already put on a...

I wrote on my hiking backpack with a sharpie "bag of Fritos every time)
When I don't end up using them I eat them on the ride home lol
They light like a candle
Pro tip number 1 for warm sleeping. (After you have the right gear)
Always put on dry socks and underwear before getting into that sleeping bag. Sweaty socks and cloths get cold and will suck the warmth right out of you. Even if they don't feel that wet/soaked, it only takes a little bit of...
Not sure about tent heaters but my grandfather gave me a heated vest a few years ago and it's the biggest game changer.
I have the zero layer heated vest with an extra battery. It's very light and compact. They also make jackets, gloves, pants and even heated socks.
Pricy but well worth the...
@MuckSavage yes indeed it is. It's the second biggest thing I can squeeze between my legs ;)
All kidding aside it's a blessing and a curse pending the situation lol.
The cooler is still on the work bench but...
My RTT has faux hardwood flooring now. :tongueclosed:
Taking out the old RTT mattress was fun lol see photo for an idea of what I'm talking about. The old mattress had to go, just the thought grosses me out. It is made of very stiff foam, witch I like...
Started a project last night. I was going to purchase a used pelican elite 50 for the time being untill i get my secondary power supply and dometic fridge situated. But I couldn't justify spending $220 on a ice chest. I have the funds but I also have the materials to make a super insulated...
This has been solved.
The mounts are finished thanks to home depot and some spare axle bearing carriers.
Going to source a telescoping ladder.
Thanks for all your help.
I got my mounting brackets situated on sunday. Now i am just searching for a ladder.
Going to try it out this weekend if the wind isn't too bad. Tonight I am going to make my own version of a yeti cooler ;) pics to come
Got a new set of allen sockets Sunday morning and removed all the pistons. That was a fun puzzle.
Now I am no expert on cylinder bore but I think it looks alright. Probably going to take the block with me when I take the heads to be checked and decked. May have them fully done with new valves...
This morning's hike was much needed. Got to see a cool misty sunrise. The I set up the hammock and read a few chapters of the book I'm reading. Talk about refreshing.
I got pretty far into the engine but when it came time to pull the pistons I realized I did have my large Allen wrenches to take...
At home its the Japanese water stone. Gets me blades scary sharp. I'm talking Roseanne Barr off her meds with no makup scary.
But in the field I have some small diamond sharpeners that fit into my fixed blade knife sheath as well as one of those quick sharpeners as seen in post #2 only to get...
my backpack that has my "EDC" items as they call it. (this if if i am under 15 miles from home, like work and what not)
It consist of the items that are hard, if not impossible, to recreate in the bush without immense effort and resources.
besides the basic phone, keys, wallet and pocket knife...
So I was tidying up the garage and organizing the tools I brought home from work when I decided to just poke around. I thought it would be a good idea to let some penetrating oil soak into the exhaust manifold bolts over night, so I sprayed some on there.
Then I looked at what was left to do in...
The front of the RTT hangs over the front cross rail about 30"
My idea now is to make a bracket for my light bar that also doubles as a support for the tent. I'll have my welding buddy help me on that one.
