Yep, that six-inch square area is the only place on my Outback that has been washed, let alone polished for probably four years. :)

Thanks for the trip report, Robert. It looks like a wonderful time. Hope you're feeling better!

Welcome, Martin! Very cool Jeep. At first, I didn't like the 4-door Jeeps. The just looked weird. But now, I think I'd have a JKU on my short list if I was looking for a new vehicle.

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. Today I picked up Tractor Supply Company's version of the Maxxtow #70108 Aluminum Cargo Carrier, and assembled it. Since the Outback only has a listed tongue weight of 200#, I went with the lighter version, rather than the slightly cheaper but 30# heavier...

To the left of my rear license plate, protected from getting damaged. (Yes, I only washed the area where I was applying the badge. :blush: )

I got it a couple hors ago, and I'll putz around this evening. Thanks!

Hi Jason, I haven't yet. I'm painting the basket, and haven't found enough non-windy days to get a couple more coats on it. We had a wedding here Saturday, so I've not been doing much car related stuff for a while. But I have a plan! I'm using the FourTreks Modular LED Mounts. Pricey, but Luke...

Thanks, Michael, Per your invitation, I registered at the test forum to try things out, but never got approved. So I'm looking forward to seeing what it is like. I've been admin or moderator on several forum software, but have never been on a forum that used XenForo. It will be interesting to...

That's better! :blush: Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S 215-60-17 tires and an alignment. I'm glad I didn't go with 225-60-17 tires!

Today I received my order of a stack of four WaterBricks to store potable water. Each brick is 3.5 gallons, and fits flat on the rear floor. I'll only be taking two this trip, but they easily stack two high, giving me 15 gallons of water on future trips to drier climates.

Robert, Thank you you for the wonderful report and photos from the Bushcraft Gathering. That looks like an extraordinarily informative event, and a fun time, too. Steve

I took a quick photo today showing the "after" image of the new struts and lift, to compare with a previous "before" image. Sorta hard to tell how much higher it is. I guess I should have measured before I had it done. I'll get another little bit when I put on the new tires.

I just got back from an hour drive on the turnpike bringing the car home. Wow, what a noticeable difference! I could tell by the end of the guy's street that I was going to appreciate the improvements, because it didn't dive when I put on the brakes. And it didn't bounce like an old Buick on the...

Updates, finally! My daughter is getting married Saturday, and we've been busy on other things... I just had new struts installed all around on my 2008 OBXT, using the 2004 rears for better load carrying without sag. I also had 3/4" Paranoid Fabrication strut spacers installed. And while it was...

Excellent news! Which software did you end up going with? I finally bought a laptop to take with us on our cross-country travels starting next month so that I can keep up online a bit easier than with the iPad. Thanks, Steve

Many years ago, on our return trip from a New Mexico backpacking trip, we travelled the length of Land Between the Lakes. I'd already read a lot about it, and fantasized about getting way off the beaten path and squatting in there. It still seems like the perfect life...

Thank you!!!!!

Nice trip. Thanks for taking us along!

Fantastic quality, and the addition of our member number is above and beyond any other patches I have. This would look great on my textile motorcycle jacket, but pretty inappropriate while riding the Vespa. :blush: I like the Velcro backing, so that I can simply attach additional Velcro to...

Thanks, Michael. I notice I don't visit the site as much as when it worked before. Steve
