I’m curious, did your friend’s had a patched in chunk of tread? On my brothers they all had around a 2” chunk of tread and 2 seams instead of one. It was like their tread mold was too short for the circumference of the tire it was on. Maybe they’re OK on the smaller sizes because I’ve read...

We’ve got 4 “good” tents in our house. A Marmot Ajax 3, Mountain Hardwear Optic 3.5, Sierra Designs Clip 2 and a Clip 3. My wife and I use the Marmot with our 7yo and have plenty of room. It has vestibules on both of the long sides. I’m 5’11” and have plenty of room to have gear at my head or...

I probably should stay out of this because I’d LIKE to buy it, but can’t right now. UPS is so stupidly expensive for oversized items, which I think starts at about the size of your fist... Ok, slight exaggeration. Check with Fastenal, I’ve heard they do LTL (which is probably the only option...

I sent a text to my brother on the border to border, here is his reply. A group of atv riders teamed up with some tree huggers formed a group in Cook county and named themselves “preserve our trails”, or something to that effect. They are pushing back making claims that millions or billions of...

Let me start by saying I gave up on android years ago and I’m sure it’s improved... In my experience Apple is easier to use and more stable. @v_man had a good point about the SD card, but honestly I’ve been surprised how little space Gaia maps have taken up in my O.G. iPad. When I switched to a...

My brother bought a set of 5 of the Treadwright Warden (BFG AT look alike) in 285/75/17 They were super heavy, took too much weight to balance and had a horrible ride. By the time he went through the trouble shooting process and determined it was the tires treadwright said he was past warranty...

There are SO many roads to drive in UT, but I’m too new here to tell you where to give you a must see list. We were on a 2 day trip through Capitol Reef, Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bryce Canyon last week. We stayed on the beaten path (my wife’s not super adventurous), but there were lots of...

I’ve got an LR3, but close enough for this discussion. I did a hidden install of a Smittybilt X2O 10k on a harbor freight winch plate. This was definitely the budget route, but it has served me well. Personally I would buy a full coverage winch bumper before I’d pay for a legit hidden winch mount.

I’ve also got the Plano boxes that I added weatherstripping to. I use two 108 quart boxes on the roof to hold all of our bulky camp gear (2 tents and 5 each sleeping bags, sleep pads and camp chairs)

I use a WiFi iPad with a Dual GPS receiver running the Gaia GPS app. It does everything you mentioned you’d like.

Prius!

We moved from Fergus Falls which is about 2/3 the way to Fargo from the Twin Cities on I-94. It’s right on the boarder of the ND flat lands and MN lakes country. I tell people here we moved for the warmer weather, which was the primary reason for the move, because I always get an “are you for...

I use Plano sportsman tubs modified with weatherstripping to seal them. Two 108 quarts fit right now as my full size spare has to reside on the roof until I build a swing out for it. They hold 2 tents, 5 sleeping bags, 5 sleeping pads and 5 Alite style camp chairs. I just use ratchet straps to...

Don’t shoot dice with squirrels?

From a born and raised Minnesotan recently transplanted to Utah, check out expeditionutah.com for Utah related info. I actually find Utah overwhelming because there is so much to see here.

Isn’t the Hummer 6.5 mechanical fuel injection? I thought I read that somewhere.

Yeah, my friends brand new eco-boost f-150 that quit with less than 15k on it was not what I’d consider old though. Your a Ford guy, that’s OK, my experience is different than yours based on my own prejudice.

No idea, I bought the first because it was a killer deal on a ‘76 Bronco (I’d love to have that back now that I could afford to fix it up). The other was given to me because they were sick of fixing it. Neither where anywhere new or one owner. I don’t buy new, I pay cash. We drive nice cars, but...

I felt the same way 10 years ago, now I just find them too big. I disagree on the price of parts. I always found them to be surprisingly high, given the billions of vehicles on the roads that shared the same parts! Funny how that works in reverse for some people. I’ve owned two fords, non-stop...
