Now we're talking. Fresh milk. No more need for that ARB fridge. And as a side benefit, with a yoke and some rope the cow can help get you un-stuck, should the need arise. Don't laugh, some of the first overlanders on this continent were Conestoga wagons. In the future we can have threads...

I think you have hit the nail on the head with that one. One of the traits that makes us overlanders just happens to be the same trait that causes many of us to take off in directions other than that which may have been initially intended. We want to go someplace else. We want to explore. We...

Add one more vote for the bottle jack. I carry a small one (3 ton?--the label is shot--it has a few miles on it) in my XJ. I have a big one for my dually. And I have a few more that float around in my shop serving to augment my floor jacks. Bottle jacks are awesome for their all around...

Well said sir.

It's a shame. If I were to compliment someone as a gentleman and a scholar that could be the end of the thread as it would apparently be a matter of name calling.

Self-identify as a gypsy?

Now if we could just get the cancel culture crowd to work on this...

When ICEs are outlawed only outlaws will have ICEs.

I highly recommend the use of a conductive grease such as Ox-Gard : Ox-Gard Wherever you have to remove paint in order to get good contact you are asking for corrosion. A good conductive grease will help prevent the corrosion and will improve the quality of your ground connection. Given that...

Words of wisdom. We are a family of 5. I do Jeep trips with the three boys in an XJ. If The Bride is going along then it is the Suburban.

We have an older (late '80s) Palomino hard side. It would not do well off pavement. I have put a couple inches of lift under it, but that is not the issue. The problem is how these things are constructed in the first place. It is all cheap particle board. Particle board does not hold up...

Micron still makes chips in this country. They have several different locations where they make them. Funny thing about the automakers, they have been trying to beat prices down as if there were a glut of chips and low demand. It's a great way to get your allocation reduced in favor of some...

I just picked up a couple tins of hickory smoked a week or so ago at Kroger. No teriyaki though. I was just happy to see some on the shelves again. It has been slow to come back around here. I am guessing it all gets snatched up in Louisiana on its way out west.

Yes, you must get a special pass for the White Rim trail. Campsites on the White Rim trail are by reservation. Reservations open up 6 months in advance of a given date. Start here.

Beautiful XJ and MJ.

That will be The Varmints. I am German. The Bride is Irish. I joke that the Irish claim they like to drink. They have a day dedicated to it. The Germans have a whole month dedicated to drinking. The Irish claim they like to fight. They have been fighting the English for centuries. The...

When has it gone too far? Once you get it all organized in alphabetical order, and then number each item in that order. Then you have gone too far, because if you try to add anything in you will have to shift all the subsequent numbers down the line (My HS Calculus teacher actually did this...

The desert/river crowd (think Glamis/Colorado river) use lights. These would be folks who have vehicles which they leave for months at a time. Rodents can do a lot of damage in that time. Major bummer to discover when you come out to play and find your toys are inoperable. In this age of low...
