    Bear care

    Im I'm no bear expert. I've never even seen a grizzly live and in progress, though I do get black bears in my back yard regularly. As I understand it there's a difference between black bears and Grizzlies, in that a black bear is more like a grazing cow, and a grizzly tends to stake out an...

    Quality tarp

    I always try to bring at least two tarps and an actual space blanket

    The Dune Sea Land Speeder

    Would that make it an X(34)J?

    The Dune Sea Land Speeder

    Want to see a faded brown and red paint scheme with some beat up chrome like the X-34

    Truck cap platform option

    Not sure if this helps but a wider rack might help. The old Trac Rac systems, including Cap Rac, were bought by Thule. They can stick out the sides farther, giving you more space for the iKamper. Just take off those top little "bookend" slider brackets I have on top.

    What is the best piece of advice you can give a new overlander?

    I second this...I've mentioned it a few times, but a simple tarp tied from truck to trees is as good as any batwing awning. Not as fancy or easy to set up, but just as useful. That or a pop-up 10x10 instant canopy for $50 at Dicks

    Question on Differential Lockers

    ...and I bet the frame of your Arkansas 2000 looks better than the frame of my New England 2014.

    Question on Differential Lockers

    Sir, Nice clean machine. If you open the glove compartment and check your RPO codes, there is a very good chance you have one listed as 'G80'. This is the Eaton auto-locker, your 'limited slip'. Mine is a G80 with 3:42. The G80 is all ove ever known. Never had selectable locker (s), but...

    US West Hello everyone. My wife and I went to Afton Canyon campground last week and we must say that it sucked! (clickbait)

    Not sure if STEM would work. It helps a lot here in the Northeast. All natural blend of things like Peppermont, Rosemary, Thyme, Lemon, Cedar. I put it on myself and the dog, though I do use a monthly chemical topical on the dog as well. And I wash the dog with a similar shampoo that comes...

    Places to avoid in Black Hills

    There was a campsite in eastern Colorado that USED to be a Jellystone, downhill from a hotel, to which would not willingly return. We actually packed up and left before nightfall. Our experience in Badlands, Cedar Pass, Black Hills and Deadwood, however,were good, so I can only offer positive...

    1999 K2500 Suburban

    I had a 1994, the 2 door model, so it was the k1500 Blazer. Silverado was still a top trim level. I was working on the water pump when that tensioner pulley bolt broke. Nothing, nowhere was available so I cobbed something up. I'm STILL sorry I let that thing go. 30 gallon gas tank...

    1999 K2500 Suburban

    There was a time those serpentine tensioner pulleys for GMT 400's were no available in dealerships anymore and not yet available at auto zone

    Dog Gone, Camping

    Didn't mean that in a purjoritive sense. Every solution here may or may not work for some or others. If I were a long distance traveler with just me and the dog, a lot, I probably would do exactly as you have. K9 does it for a reason.

    Camping

    With a name like New YORK, beats me why it isnt included in New England. Maybe because the city took on a life of its own, so it disowned puny Boston and everything associated with it. I've been through some of the Adirondacks and Lake George area - lived not too far from it. Beautiful area...

    Dog Gone, Camping

    That's pretty cool. Dont take this the wrong way but not everyone wants to be like a K9 officer. I sometimes have my dog with me, and other times just human passengers, so I'm not putting a professional K9 officer style cage in the back seat, but I have seen something similar for hunting dogs...

    Dog Gone, Camping

    I'm of a similar mind. Always had dogs as a kid. There was a long stretch after my parents divorce I had to move to the city and did not have a dog. Finally got a dog again and eventually moved away from the city. If I cant take my dog, i dont want to go. And I've been to many national...
