Unless you have mods on your vehicle to accommodate the hi lift jack, I would nix that item. Yes, they can have their place, but they’re heavy and can be extremely dangerous if one does not pay attention while using it. A good bottle jack and base or heavy duty scissors jack would serve you...

It really boils down to what works for you. I would suggest starting out as simply as you can for some short trips ( or even the backyard to see what works and what doesn’t ). You really don’t need all the gadgets and gizmos that are out on the market.

Gotta keep momma happy. You know what they say, if momma aint happy, nobody’s happy. If daddy aint happy, nobody cares.

I'm interested to see your evaluation of this unit. I've thought of doing something similar, but the idea hasn't gone any further than that; a thought...

This is a guy over on Expedition Portal. I want to get some of his maps, but being the great procrastinator that I am, it hasn’t happened yet. https://axlesandantennas.com/pages/custom-maps-and-prints

I’ve always been intrigued as to how bearings were made. Never gave it a thought that they came from trees. I guess it stands to reason then that needle bearings come from pine trees!

It’s likely there’s more to this than I’m seeing, but I would be inclined to use spacers on both sides of the hanger and keep the shackle plates straight.

Cool build! Don’t scrap the split rims; they make great fire rings! …Although that’s probably not something you would want to pack in your camping kit…

Are you planning on camping somewhere or is this going to be a day trip?

:tearsofjoy: A few years ago we were with a group of of friends and somehow the topic came up of what the wives would do without their husbands. I looked at my wife and said, "I know what you would do; laundry and dishes!":laughing: Are you referring to the "guide to" feature? I haven't had...

If the tank is out of date the refilling station won’t touch it.

When I’m out on my explorations, Saturday mornings I frequently hear CQ being called on 146.52 for field day ops. Typically it’s pretty quiet otherwise.

Both of you are right. :) Each has it’s pros and cons. I just wish the licensing was like a drivers license, where a “ higher class” license allows one to operate everything below it.

Spruce Knob is a good start. Highest point of elevation in WV. Happy trails!

Check out the rally point for a trail clean up and camping at Flagpole this coming Saturday.

I'm sorry our schedules aren't going to match. Getting to New River is on our list of "local" (it's about a 5 hr drive) places we want to explore.

An update on my plans for anyone interested; I'll be doing some exploring and camping on Thurs 15th and Friday 16th in addition to this Flagpole run. At this point, not sure where I'll be heading. Probably figure that out Thursday morning. Message me if you're interested and we can figure out...

I’m hoping to make it out for this. Seriously considering taking a couple extra days for more camping and exploring. Not sure yet if that would be before or after the weekend. If anyone is interested in doing this as well, let me know which time frame works better.

I’m contending with a recent development on my ‘17 JKU w/ Ursa Minor top of the dreaded front door water leaks. I’ve watched a few ewetoober videos of their solutions to the ambiguous cause. I’ve tried a couple of things, without any real progress. Seems a lot depends on how it’s parked...
