If you ever looked under the hood of the 440 Barracuda it was pretty tight, my Olds with 455 was pretty tight too. The engine back there was a spare I bought for parts 500.00 CDN for engine and tranny, the stuff I sold off pretty much paid for it. Brought it home in the back of the Disco.

I have stayed with propane, I have a 50 year old Coleman white gas that works fine but it can be hard to find fuel which always amazes me. I like cooking over a wood fire but almost guaranteed fire bans every year make the it too random. My 2 burner propane works fine, however I do not hike...

I use a little bit older gear Kenwood 710 Dual band , and an ancient Garmin E-trex. It works extremely well, when it can hit a gateway

I used to smoke a pipe but have gone to cigars as good pipe tobacco is hard to find. I enjoy a good cigar on the trail, after dinner I usually have a wander about or read while smoking. A small glass of brandy, a good cigar and book and I am good. Partial to Cuban products, but I tend to try...

I have also had one forever, and they just run. As noted they are bit small if you use large pots but nothing terrible. Easy to disable the burner to clear the burner tubes of small blockages -insects usually after winter storage. I carry a spare propane connector, never had to use it but...

Hard to say where the border will be by summer, but given the current state of things have a solid alternate my bet is on closed until 2022 or very late 2021.

@cclark1198 Everyone has covered the basics but I will add a few things: You did the fluids etc but it came with worn tires, so have a suspension check done, and drive shafts checked. Likely the previous owner was doing a bit less maintaining Think about storage Jeeps are small, you want good...

Hockey stick works great for tucking in if you are higher up, the curve is useful that way

@PNW EXPLR really hit all the points, but the Icamper / Freespirit 55 while using your entire rack have a very small footprint when open. So pretty much if you can get the doors open you are set. I have Tepui Ayer which is small clamshell tent (2 person and no more), the ladder angle is...

I think the vagueness in questions comes literally from a lack of understanding, the what tires should I use is a perfect example. Guys who have been around vehicles, and working on them for years know you need to provide what vehicle, how will it be used, is it dry or wet, sand or rock etc...

Cool, I would like to take a trip through the North if I get back to Europe, my father went through in WW II, with the 1st Hussars CDN. He did not talk to much about it, liked the Dutch people though hated the wet.

@rumbledawg good eye those were taken between Doctors Bay and Hale Creek, I only do either side of Harrison on weekdays. It is easier to deal with logging trucks than Atv's and week warriors. I have traveled most of both sides in the last 10 years, it was nicer before all the logging and...

@Natenite Just on thing I forget that little button can be hard to depress if you really over pressurize it. Not end of the world just tough. Works well on propane, it is a nice little heater on a cool night, but avoid using it in an enclosed space it tosses a ton of moisture Happy to be of...

To use propane you need 2 adaptors and hoses, as it is difficult to remove the interior adaptor. A 3rd connector is required if you want to use butane. As noted above the pressure in a propane bottle is significantly higher, I would recommend staying with the 1 lb bottles. A larger tank works...

@Natenite I sourced most of it from Amazon, I will see if I still have the list. With propane you absolutely must have the control valve the pressure is so much higher it will trigger the safety. I will take a few minutes find the parts list an make a proper post about it.

West side of Harrison Lake BC, I covered about 80 miles during my recon for an off road rally we hope to run late this spring. It was a beautiful day at about 35 def F 2 deg C.

I use both back east and down east, being in the west I juts call it home. :grinning:

I took a couple of pictures as PSA for some folks in our local LR club who are new to off roading in the winter, when you get higher in elevation the snow can be pretty treacherous. It was about 2 Deg C where I took these Be very aware of this stuff, very hard ice crust on top of snow that is...

Out doing some pre planning for a rally event later this year with luck Start of the day A few hours later, the worst kind of snow very hard surface covering sugar like snow underneath. Fortunately just on the sides, you break through that stuff and you have a lot of shoveling ahead
