There is a strategy I can appreciate.

What has this world come to? A blender that can travel into the wild, and it is being used for coffee instead of margaritas? wobbity-wobbity-wobbity (sound of gray matter rattling around in cranial cavity) I knew the older I would get the more I would feel out of touch, but I never expected...

Probably constitute a biohazard. And we wouldn't want to let the kiddos get to them and smoke that last quarter inch. Just imagine, that could be the next Tide Pod challenge.

Now I see the problem. You have a hole in the water. :yum:

That is a success story if there ever was one.

Batteries have improved just a wee bit over the last few years. I have been playing around with a new Milwaukee 18V battery powered chainsaw. I am impressed. I think it would do a great job clearing downed trees off the trail. To that end I have even purchased a 12V cigarette lighter powered...

Good point. I didn't even think about that detail.

Also talk to your insurance. It could be that you would build something worthwhile, but have insurance refuse to acknowledge its value. Best to figure that one out upfront before you are into a chunk of change.

The Milwaukee Fuel 18V impact is impressive. Pricey though.

Dang. I got all the way to writing it in on the calendar. Nothing written in yet for January 26--I should be golden! Then it occurred to me, there is nothing at all written in on this calendar. It's brand new. Hmmm... "Hey, Varmint #1, when is Academic Decathlon?" Guess what? January...

A 2 wheel drive motorcycle? Way cool. I want to see pictures of the other side of the bike. And more detail on the drive system for that front wheel.

And carbon-zinc to boot. That's just a couple steps up from coal. Now if they had been Eneloops...

I am a fan of XJs. I have three of them... Not to say "don't do it", but to make you aware of the potential issues you will need to face: A 1990 is a Renix system. The Renix system can be challenging to diagnose when there are engine sensor problems. It is not that it can't be done, it just...

ZJs are full framed? I know they have better support underneath than does an XJ, but I thought they were still essentially a unibody construction. I do think they are a good candidate for an overlanding rig. I would be more inclined to go with the inline six instead of the V8, but that's just...

My kind of build. Deserves its own thread.

That's my nose. I never leave home without it.

The vehicles in the background are the coolest part of that picture. I want more pics of the wagon and trailer.

Twisted mind that I have, my first thought was "Of course not. A RTT should be at the top of the tree." My second thought was "Someone needs to make RTT tree ornaments so the Overlanders can all have that perfect tree topper." I should probably head for bed before I come up with any worse ideas.

What? Next it will be a picture of a losing football team.

While I think they are cool, I wouldn't want to build one. I am an inline 6 guy. (XJ 4.0 and 5.9 Cummins) I don't like engines with opposed cylinders in multiples that aren't divisible by 4. Boxer 4s, V8s and V12s are good. A V16 would be good too. Beyond that, any other number of...
