Camp remotely enough and no one else will be around to worry about. The more people there are the more you need to be concerned with security. (Note this doesn't just apply to camping.)

Hmm... The Suburban is Stage 1 The '97 ZJ is Stage 1 The '96 XJ would probably be Stage 2 The '92 XJ is Stage 2 on the way to Stage 3. The '95 XJ is Stage <1 (2wd) So does that make me Stage 7.5?

Nicely done. I don't know how things compare over there, but over here you can fairly easily find bed frames for free, and that means free angle iron. That said it is not quite proper angle iron. A bit on the thin side and a radiused corner. It requires some design considerations. But free...

Gary Larson goes overlanding. Awesome.

Those are awesome. But it is spelled "manual". Let me know if you want an editor.

I am trying to think of what gear I have that isn't used in other aspects of life... The Varmints like using the tents/sleeping bags just to camp out in the back yard. Sleeping bags have also been required for church youth trips. Coolers serve at picnics and were extremely useful when we...

That right there sums it all up. It is time to move on.

Bad sheeple that I am, I spent the holiday weekend not cooped up at home. Did over 1,900 miles across 4 states so I could camp where it is sunny and warm. I did not encounter any travel restrictions to speak of. My experience was that as long as I was traveling the 2 lane highways everything...

Pick your destinations with that sort of criteria in mind and you should have no problems. Rural areas seem to have a practical perspective and not so much fear.

I will take "over thinking". It sure beats the inverse. And I see way too much of the inverse. I don't think that "flexible funnel" will fit my OX locker, but it would be a good option for some folks. The FloTool is much closer to what I have. I did look at that, but rejected it because of...

Well, if it exceeds your attention span don't go complaining about what was not included. Particularly when it was.

Try reading it again:

I don't see any good place around here to post a tool related tip, so I will put it here. If someone thinks it belongs somewhere else let me know. I don't know what everyone else does to get gear oil into a diff/T-case/tranny, but I have generally found it to be a PITA. In warm weather I...

This is probably the best answer. Frustrating as it may be, most everyone has to go through the learning curve. Pick just about any forum with a skill focus and you will find that there is a set of annoying questions that recurr with annoying regularity, virtually always from the newbies...

No kidding! Good question. Who knows the answer?

Purple dinosaurs... Puppies... This is a problem with its own built in solution:

I would. If not for purple dinosaur nightmares.

There are some things you just can't fix. But that doesn't mean you can't have fun with them. Gotta look for the bright side.

There is another way to look at this... Those who come along asking questions without context may be assumed to be looking for the product with the most elite reputation (Yeti coolers/ARB fridges/King shocks/etc.). And the odds are good these are the folks who are hardly going to use said...

Oh man... Yes, I have seen those. Those poor things are rust magnets. That sunroof idea looked nice, but it sure didn't work out well. FWIW, my first vehicle was a '72 Olds Custom Cruiser (built on the B-Body chassis rather than the A-body). It came with a good deal of rust along the bottom...
