Yeah, I would say there's too many variables at play to Monday morning quarterback a recovery by a member. What we definitely should be doing is giving that member props for helping someone out of a jam - it reflects well on the community and shows people outside of it that OB is a good...

Next purchase will hopefully be the mats for building my roof rack...we'll see.

Don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but in some jurisdictions they'll ding you for not having your plate illuminated. Just something to be aware of. Good to see that spare tire where it belongs!

Love your handle, btw lol

Welcome aboard! :D

Nice! That's a good solid unit. I have an older version of it. Just make sure you tune your antenna properly using a SWR meter.

True, and sometimes vehicles are capable of a lot more than one would think they are given the right driver.

That is a sweet van. Those approach and departure angles are brilliant. Just need some serious rocks sliders and I'd say that bad boy would go anywhere. Sorry to hear about your misfortune, I hope you're able to get it back on track soon.

Our very own @TinTop Camper has an absolutely badass Suzuki Samurai rig. Not gonna lie, I'm quite jelly.

Marked down from $15.99 to $9.99 because it was missing the little plastic disc that seals the spout. I made one out of an iced tea cap.

Yeah, I hear you on that. Where I live, the prices are downright stupid for old jeep "wranglers," especially when compared to a jeep Cherokee XJ, which is a superior vehicle for overlanding purposes, in my opinion. Guys asking stupid money for beat old TJ's and YJ's with 300,000+ kms, some with...

RD1 Honda CR-V (not mine, but I have similar plans):

Forget that, I want this! http://www.mod-sales.com/direct/vehicle/,42,/88850/Land_Rover_Defender_110_RHD.htm

I SO wish I had the means to buy that thing. Dang it's sexy. LHD to boot!

You've got firewood for the next two years now, by the looks of it!

Yeah, probably the "air bed" type air mattresses would be a possibility, as BL Overland mentioned. I believe they make some large size cots, however they almost invariably have a bar down the middle, so single cots might be a better option.

A perfect example of why OB is such an awesome community full of awesome people. I love a happy ending :D

Huzzah!! Well done, man! @A-Aron, may I respectfully suggest you buy this man a beer? ;) Whatcha going to do with the axle? Turn it into a trophy as I suggested? :D lol Let the inaugural Snapped Axle Cup commence! Looking at those fenders, I don't think those are actually from A-Aron, they...

I plan to make my own platform rack for my CR-V soon. I'll post a link to the build thread entry when it's done, if you're interested.

4 out of 5 wenches prefer synthetic rope ;) When it comes to winches, there are probably more pros than cons to synthetic, but the biggest cons are probably cost, maintenance and UV vulnerability. Synthetic rope can be degraded internally by grit and crap getting between the strands, so it has...
