    2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited in Pennsylvania

    It’s hard to say goodbye, but after over a decade of adventure, experiences, and even routine, my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited is for sale. I purchased it in August 2005 with 22,000 miles on the odometer, and it’s been a significant part of my journey over the years. It’s well broken-in, with the...

    What's the deal with re-branded RTTs?

    Just a general question here, which has likely been discussed before... A lot of smaller, lesser-known companies keep popping up on the map with an RTT offering; most with what appears to be the exact same tent with slightly different materials (or at least different colors) and a different...

    A pocket full of jingling bottle caps...

    Engine question here. My 4.0L is around 130k, and it "ticks" at idle. I'm not new to the 4.0L, and I know they're prone to doing so - especially when they get up there in miles. However, it seems a little more prevalent under load at low RPMs than I've experienced in the past. So basically...

    Trade for decent 80 series?

    I'm ready for a change, and am interested in an 80 series Land Cruiser. One that is in decent condition and well-suited for overland travel. The only hitch is, I'm not positioned to shop aggressively right now. I just wanted to post here just in case you guys have any advice for a first-time...

    Need advice on... well, bikes.

    I'm not really an enthusiast, although I spent a lot of time on my bike before I got my driver's license... 20 years ago. Holy crap - I almost wish I didn't just make that calculation. Anyway, I've been finding myself riding around a lot lately on my old mountain bike. It is an unmaintained, but...

    Tell me about 03 Discovery

    I pass this thing on a used car lot every day, and I'm not going to buy it. But I like it, and price of admission is relatively low. I don't even know why I'm posting this. Does this model have CDL? I'd wager that it doesn't. Does it require premium? I assume it does. Unlike my car (in the...

    Synthetic rope on seldom-used M8000?

    Is it worth upgrading to synthetic rope on my Warn M8000 for the purpose of weight savings if the winch is very seldom used? For example, if 5 years goes by without having to use the winch for vehicle recovery, I can count on wire rope. It's not going to deteriorate within that time, unless it...

    Native Marvel 14.5 Tandem

    I just picked up a blue 2010 Native Marvel 14.5 Tandem kayak this weekend! I haven't had the chance to put it in the river yet, but I'm very excited to. This boat was in stock at the local outfitter and was discounted since it is last year's model. I chose it because we needed a sit-in family...

    Jeep Cherokee XJ headlight upgrade?

    The headlights on my 2001 Jeep Cherokee have become horribly dim over time. I'm interested in upgraded lights that improve performance without dramatically increasing draw, with good durability, and acceptable longevity. What sealed beam, or bulb/housing combination would you recommend? Also...

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3, Rugged outdoor P&S

    The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 was just announced. It looks like a nicely-spec'd, ruggedized, waterproof, compact point and shoot. Includes a built-in GPS. Very cool! Panasonic is producing some very compelling cameras lately. http://www.dpreview.com/news/1101/11012511panasonicts3.asp

    Dabbling w/ MacGPS Pro & RouteBuddy

    Today was spent experimenting with RouteBuddy 2.6 Demo for OS X, and MacGPS Pro 8.6, which I bought properly. I am using my Garmin 276c to interface with the computer using USB. The goal is simple: I want a detailed, moving topographical map that always marks my position during mobile use. I...

    Teton Sports: Anyone use this gear?

    I was on Amazon and encountered some gear by a company called Teton. Some of the reviews spoke highly of it, and the prices are decent. Can anyone here comment on this brand? http://www.tetonsports.com/

    Sit-in rec kayak for adult & child?

    Last summer I started paddling while leaving my wife and 5 year old son at home. I want to take them out onto the river too, but need another kayak. I'm thinking a tandem boat - one thats not so cumbersome that it requires both occupants to paddle. He'll only be 6, so I don't expect him to be...

    LED Marker Light Replacement

    The 1156 marker light bulbs have a short lifespan in my ARB bullbar. I'm assuming that moisture is the culprit. Despite the presence of a gasket, water manages to get trapped in these housings fairly easily. I'm wondering how I can better seal these marker light assemblies, and if LED...

    Jack suggestions?

    I need to replace my Jeep Cherokee's broken factory bottle jack. I'd prefer to replace it with another jack that fits under the back seat - preferably where the factory bottle jack was stored. Can you guys recommend a good jack? It doesn't have to be a bottle jack, but it should be very...
