I don’t like em, I don’t even like the idea of them on any vehicle. On a trailer?. I’ve used a pair on my trailer for decades without any problems. However, my trailer weighs only 1500 lbs so the added stress on the outer bearings is minimal.

Couldn’t help myself. Saw this big guy in NM. No mods necessary, it’s ready to go !!

Nothing new, people have been being arrested for social opinions for certainly my entire life and probably for the past 250 years. We could debate the difference between social and political, but it’s all about social issues, then, the politicians latch onto what they think will be the winning...

I’m not a troll. I’m just an old school overlander that’s been doing this thing most of my life. Public land access in the US is being closed down at a rapid rate. We have but a few organizations that are attempting to slow down the pace of closures. Closures happen because of a handful of...

Agreed, we go west at least twice a year for the same reasons. The eastern seaboard is inundated with people. There really isn’t anywhere one can actually overland without running into lots of people.

We’ve resolved to getting back to traveling more often and alone more often. First trip will be early March, alone.

Along with an Enya soundtrack, over and over and over and over !

The crime was traveling off of established vehicle trails on public lands. In this case a National Park. The injured party is, the tax payer footing the bill of extraction, clean up & restoration. The secondary injured party is us and anyone else that enjoys access to public lands by vehicle...

Thats not at all what I said. I said maximum penalties, which do include impounding the vehicle, banning them from public lands paying stiff penalties and restitution for the time and trouble of using our tax dollars to fix it all. My point was, and you seemed to have missed that entirely, was...

News stories like this need to headline every news outlet in North America. Maybe if stories like this were imprinted upon the minds of every American, this nonsense would come to an abrupt halt. I’m hoping they are fined the maximum penalty, banned for life from every public land and pay stiff...

Absolutely! I’ve never understood highlift jacks mounted on a Jeep hood. Yikes!!

Big family dinner tomorrow, the pig was slaughtered the 29th, the ham was smoked for 3 weeks & going in the oven for 4 hours tomorrow for ham dinner feeding 12 people! Gonna be great food !

Ya, curious minds want to know- Our daughter rented an apartment in the barios of Houston while obtaining her doctorate. It was a poop hole of a place, but her neighbors looked out for her and she was quite comfortable with the efficiency apt.. living in an SUV with another person? If you...

Agreed, especially about colorful vehicles and clothing. Everything we wear and use at camp are neutral colors and we don’t use aftershave, deodorant, perfumes or any other smelly soaps or shampoos. Our vehicle is painted desert sand. Insects just aren’t a problem for us. Mosquitoes? When...

Which Landcruiser?

Interesting, in spite of being the two music fans that we are and a really good system in the cruiser, my wife and I rarely listen to music or anything else while driving. We talk, we laugh, we remark on the sights, we take all of it in. We even make up new fart jokes. We’ll go an entire trip...

So, you know that’s how they did it? That would be my assumption as well, but everyone knows where assumptions lead us.

It’s open. That was rather quick. Dynamite? Heavy bulldozers and cranes? I can’t find any info on the mechanics of that clearing.

I’m just now re reading your query. I’ll just say this- you stated that you broke a sway bar at Big Bend, we’ve been there, it’s really pretty mild stuff. If you broke a sway bar then what else will break really soon while traversing average trails and forest roads?

Sent you a PM, thanks
