From the elevation, it sounds like you're going to be in the Sacramento Mountains east of WSNP. I'd expect lows in the mid to high 30s at 9,500 ft. It could be colder, I've been in Cloudcroft in mid-April in a snowstorm. I wouldn't expect that in May, though. In the mountains, I'd expect...

I no more think "a chain is the answer" than I think "Chain should NEVER be used in any recovery situation."

Is there any way to use a hi lift as a winch other than with a chain?

I finally got around to putting in a new mount for the Lagun table on the passenger seat base of the Sprinter. Now, when the seat is facing rearward, I have a place to put my beer, dinner, a book, etc. The Lagun tables are great. They are made for boats, and have a double pivot design that...

Hi Neal, From what we have been able to determine, the CO BDR route should all be accessible for 4wd vehicles. Larrie @Luinil Explorations did it with a group last fall. They detoured off the route in a few places, but not because it wasn't accessible. You are correct that some of the other...

Average temps for March are low 20s to mid 40s. For May, mid 30s to mid 60s.

You Tube etc. is a great platform for learning about stuff that it would otherwise be very difficult to find local guidance. You can find videos about anything on You Tube. But, that also creates the problem that you seem to be in. You start watching all those videos of guys with lifted JKs...

I decided to do donuts anytime we have a snow day.

Just cheapos off Amazon. They seem fine for the price, so far...

Our van we got 3 years ago this coming March. It's taken us on some great trips!

yuca (cassava root), not yucca (spiny desert plant).

Installed the Icom 2730A HAM radio under the passenger seat in the van and moved the GMRS radio there too. Didn't really like it under the cupholder where I installed it originally. This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. This image has been resized. Click...

Installed my Midland MXT275 in the truck today. Radio body is under the back seat velcro'd to the carpet. The power leads are not long enough to get to the battery, and I didn't feel like extending them, so I used the rear 12v plug in the console. Ran a mic extension cable to the...

I don't think Ford ever made a 4x4 Econoline van. All 4x4 Econolines are conversions, as far as I know. The ones sold through Ford dealers were 2wd units converted to 4x4 by Quigley. There are several reputable sources for 4x4 conversions, including Quigley, Sportsmobile, UJoint, Quadvan, and...

The 2021 Overland Expo West has been moved to September, still in Flagstaff...

Ordered a Relentless Fab rear bumper and swingarm for the truck. And some Luci lights at 50% off (the lights, not the bumper)!

He said under $50!!
