you actually did authorize that work... to inspect the differential the tamper plate has to be removed... you can’t even begin a comprehensive diagnostic with said plate still intact. Now my question is since the plate in question is held on by two bolts and hangs down a little lower than the...

I highly recommend several burlap bags fillled with straw... cheap, echo-friendly, and very versatile on the trail. ok kidding... a memory foam mattress is your best bet. A cheap 8-10” mattress fromWalmart works great, that’s what I used for many years... I have seen people use IKEA mattresses...

Mossburg has been naught and sold quite a few times since then, and their quality goes down with every new purchase. Remington when’s through the same problem a few years ago, but started stepping up their game again in 2015/2016.

All my friends ask me that too... it seams all I do is sleep... My trick is... I know my physical limitations, I pick a project that I can complete with my limitations in the time frame between trips. Hence I am done tripping :p for the year, because the Bronco engine is taking a toll on me...

Yes they were both about the same price... the 870 was a little more because I got both the rifled slug barrel and the smooth bore, but if I would have just got the smooth bore they would have been comparable in price.

Got the transfercase skid all prepped for paint growing pile of parts. I have the driveshafts, and radiator pulled, also disconnected the transmission and transfer case linkages from the body. I’m ready to drop the transfer case tomorrow, and waiting on the first to rent an air compressor...

Luckily the 275 is very user friendly (almost like operating a cb). As for install, it’s simple enough when your leg strength returns you just need to hook up battery wires and run them under your seat, then Velcro the unit to the carpet... run a pc cable up to your dah for your mic to plug in...

Why change the F-150? Lots of full sizes on the trails. Edit: I posted the Jeeps to show that we were in a “Jeep” Trail.

Having both, I was very disappointed in the 2019 Mossberg 500 compared to the 2019 Remington 870. The 500 fit and finish of parts felt cheap, and very under built compared to the 870. (Both are wood stocks and forearms in 12 gauge)

Funny thing is... out of all the tires I ever punctured... I was on asphalt for all of them. Every time I needed RSA I was driving a barrowed rig or trailer, and used my Schwab account to get the RSA... yes they are more expensive, but I have noticed the more I buy from them the better the...

More importantly the Oregon fires... From what I hear south central Oregon is very Smokey... and even here in Northeastern Oregon we are dealing with California smoke...

Welcome from the Northwest

Well good thing it’s lost, it’s no longer “Lucky”.

The Jack Mate is about the only piece of kit there that would work for me that I don’t have. I have solid steel wheels, so lift mate won’t grab them, what am I going to use the hooky chain for? Maybe attaching a sling... maybe... I already have a pin kit, (I need to see if it will work with my...

Get the small shop to do the trimming... the road side service is bar far the best in the industry. Where else can you run a tire flat to the point of sepperating the tread from the side wall and still get a free tire 6,000 miles later?

I’m going to have to disagree on all counts... we went up 2 tire sizes on our 04 4Runner, gas mileage stayed the same, top speed stays the same, heck even acceleration can’t be felt... breaking improved, but probably due to the different tread pattern. Picked up a little noise, but that’s to be...

Sorry to hear you’re not going to make the OSWABDR run @armyRN . I was looking forward to all those old school rigs going down the trail Like 40 years ago. Go ahead and do another RP. If it generates interest, great, if not, well you were out only a few minutes of time. I know a few guys from...

Where at in Northern Oregon are you heading? Kings/Sequoias NP is awesome, you will want as much time as possible to visit this one. Crater Lake is beautiful, but a couple hours at most is needed for the park itself... spend the rest of the time here exploring the nearby NFS. Lots of places...

I have a hi-lift... my accessories for it are nil... just a piece of plywood for a base, and some logging chains to make a decent pull with if need be... I don’t ever plan on winching with the high-lift, but I can see where using it to add tension to a winch pull would be useful. To lift, I...

Your story reminds me of some of my friends... the difference is, I was Hans of my group... I still prefer the taste of traditional “Cowboy” campfire cooking. Those Kabob Sticks look interesting, I might need to invest in something a little better than my collapsible roasting sticks.
