I used to do minimalist camping but havnt had time since I had my kids... well since the whole crew had kids lol. Now I look at how much work it is when I get home , having to dry everything out, air out the smoke smell... i just don't have the time. Now winter for me is mainly time to work on...

I did a 3 link front and semi-triangulated 4 link in my LJ ... its not a JK but it runs JK axles lol. also it is put together with all Curry johnny joints and came out cheaper than those kits look like they are going to run, and it drives great. If you have any 4x4 shops or local fab shops...

Welcome! Check with the OF4WD for trails or clubs in your area as I'm sure they have a few listed. I believe there are also a few people on here in you area on here.

Welcome!

Most spots I camp don't have cell service. Even the Provincial campgrounds most of the time don't have signal, the remote spots I go to definitely don't have signal. All my maps get saved offline beforehand, or I carry hard copies. I usually carry information about lakes in the area ( depths...

Winter here is build season. Time to look at gear and see what I can improve on and what needs to be repaired that as been neglected. Most of my time in the winter is spent clearing snow and maintaining things around the house. I do usually make a trip north for the holidays to visit family (...

Welcome from Owen Sound, Ontario.

Thank you, there isn't a whole lot of aftermarket support for the compass so I have made what big have work the best I can. I have made a few parts of my own along the way.

My wife didn't let me off the hook for traveling lol. Took a 3 hour trip and turned it into a 5 hour white knuckle trip...... I'm not looking forward to the drive home in a few days ......

Welcome. It's a great community to learn from.

1. I really enjoy weekend Wheeling trips with a secluded camp spot on a trail where nobody else in around other than maybe a couple friends. This is usually a weekend or long weekend, but I sometimes stretch it out to a longer run and visit different trails and friends in different areas over a...

Christmas might be an easy lazy holiday for me this year. All of the major hiways are closed or closed in sections. I was supposed to pile the family into the car and head north about 4 hours ... but I opened my garage door to this lol

could try some paint stripping discs on an angle grinder but they may wear through pretty quickly and they aren't cheap. but depending on the amount you want to strip vs paying for sand blasting it may be an option.

A lot of the smaller AWD rigs are overlooked and for me, this is my daily driver... I do have another rock crawler for getting into more remote spots, but this one hauls my family and gear ( usually with a trailer, picture was a solo trip). Most people see the compass as an under powered, AWD...

I'm just getting into the deisel heater thing myself so I have no input there lol. Mine is still a box of parts in the garage and was planning on keeping it on a trailer and run a duct into my tent ( ground tent). Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and should be able to figure...

Welcome fron ontario. Rig looks awesome and super capable. One think I will say is I have tried the 60/40 split sleeping in other rigs and found it to be a tight fit ( jeep patriot, Nissan pathfinder, 1500 blazer) the only one I fount to have enough room for me was the older blazer ( and that...

good points. I'll look into airbags and see if I can find something that will work but the springs are a fairly small diameter so an airbag in the spring may not be an option. The trailer is based off of a 4x6 platform and I have the rear axle placed 2' in from the rear. which almost matches the...

So i got playing around with some 3d modeling last night and I am thinking that I may keep the solid axle but still try a coil suspension for fun. I can build a trailing arm style setup and mock it up with my 2000lb axle that I already have and swap out to a heavier axle down the road once I get...

I apologize in advance ... this is gunna be a long post lol. I have a 06 TJ unlimited that I have been working on for the last 10 years or so. it has JK rubicon ( factory e-lockers) axles with 4.88 gears, and chromly shafts, and a Crown JK big brake kit to match. The suspension has been rebuilt...

No boubt Prarie winds will suck. Also coastal snows to keep in mind. Not saying it's not doable and if your mind is set on it than take it easy and if it doesn't feel right, stop. If the weather cooperates it could be fine, if not it could take significantly longer to accomplish. Use your best...
