Last year we bought a 2018 Subaru Outback to help me commute to a new job out of town. My wife named the car 'Otto'...she thinks he looks like an Otter. It wasn't long before something bit me and I wanted to make it my own. Being a new car, my wife wasn't so sure about that so a rule was put in...

Putting feelers out to see how many folks would be interested in a meet up in late August near Edmonton? I'm still pretty new around here but I'd love to plan a bit of a gathering. Seems like we aren't as dense here in Alberta as in other places so any excuse to round us up doesn't seem like...

Thanks Tim. I didn't take any pictures (though I still can. I bought 4 bulbs) but the heat sink is very robust. My money is on the fan being there just in case as most headlight bulbs are in tight spaces and/or inside a hot engine bay. There are plenty of 'low profile' led bulbs available which...

While I had my Genesis lights mocked up in the basement (I'm building a custom light bar and my garage isn't heated), I decided I'd experiment/gamble with an AliExpress order. For $32 CDN, I had 4 LED 9005 bulbs (including shipping) to my door in 10 days. They were advertised as 4000 lumens...

Great work! I love DIY ingenuity. I've always been a fan of the rollout, easy-up style of awning but can't justify the price. I use the, now out of production, Big Agnes Twin Butte car awning. You have to put it together as well but it's been through everything in the past decade including winds...

If I get time I'll do it while I'm at work this week. It's a good idea to do that anyhow once in a while and check expiry dates inspect for worn out packaging.

I'll be doing a 2" kit from ADF as well on my Outback plus King springs for a near 3" lift. I've researched all the kits and the guys at Anderson spend as much time in the muck as they do the shop. They know their stuff! Great info on the sway bars too. I hadn't considered it for my Subie but...

Ambulances too. I used to think it was the worst thing you could do to an engine. I used to work an event standby job as an on site EMT and would sit in a running ambulance 15 hours at a time. Those rigs were well maintained and would make it past 500,000km before being retired. If an ambulance...

I love that bracket of RAM ball mounts. My system has been pretty ghetto because I have this crazy desire to not permanently modify the inside of the car. Makes things tricky but I'm slowly figuring things out. I need to swap to RAM to make things more sturdy. My current collection of DIY and...

Good Samaritan laws exist to protect anybody trying to do the right thing regardless of their skills or abilities. I don't think you'll ever get in trouble for leaving somebody in a higher level of care than you can provide.

Thanks El Solis for introducing me to those Safe Jack stands and extensions! I love that idea and especially love that the extensions for the jack and the stand are interchangeable. Definitely on my wish list now!

My wife and I have been Keto for nearly a year and a half now. We've both lost a significant amount of weight and feel better than we have in years. I've found that Keto can be made simple as long as you don't have to be super adventurous with your food. I spend more time on the road for work...

I always have two pieces of advice for people when they ask me this (as a paramedic I get asked often). First, work on knowledge first. I can patch you up with surprisingly little even if I'm packing a wound with an old sock or a t shirt. You can have all the dressings and gadgets in the world...

I considered KO2s for my Subaru. They're pretty much the standard for lifted Subies. My car sees more highway miles than dirt miles plus i didn't want to have to replace the wheels on a brand new car so I went with a set of Yokohama Geolandar G015 AT/S tire. They're winter rated all terrain...

I'm relatively new to getting off the beaten path but like others who have mentioned it, my vehicles are new and plastic and the hi lift hasn't seemed a good solution for lifting. I've considered one anyways because of the other things they can do but have never pulled the trigger. Instead I'm...

I'm glad to see these. I was a little sad when I ordered my membership and there wasn't an appropriate one for us Albertans.

I love the idea. I second those who would prefer them nameless. But I like that they would stack for those of us who have fingers in many pies.

I've recently picked up a triplet of Lightforce Genesis 210mm lights. A local shop is no longer carrying the brand and I got a great deal. Unfortunately they don't have any of the clip on filters in stock and one is missing it's filter as it was the demo light. I'm looking for clear filters in...

Hi Everybody, Been a fan of the Overland Bound YouTube channel for a while now and have been looking to up my camping game into something more adventurous. I've been camping, hiking, backpacking, fishing, etc all my life but have always stopped when the road does. Hoping to change that this...
