    Fridge only or fridge/freezer?

    I definitely think that a fridge/freezer is the way to go. I currently have a NL 50l (I think) and I admit the freezer side is a bit small, but compared to the single zone Engle I also have, I definitely like the NL Oh, and don't buy a snomaster if you plan on driving off pavement (they don't...

    Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon Setups

    Nice trucks! Has anyone mounted an RTT using say, the Rhino Rack ditch mount roof racks on the cab of a Colorado? Someone must have, but I can't locate em ? I'm toying with moving the tent off of my bedrack.

    Fridge/freezer advice wanted

    In the US I run an Engel and love it. Good service! However I'm now running a Snomaster here in Africa and I've been impressed (so far) with it's build quality and I have to say the customer service is very very good.

    Snomaster, love em

    I'm over in here in South Africa trying to finish sorting out a Patrol that I'm going to use all over the place for the next couple years. I had picked up a 67 dual fridge/freezer from Snomaster. It's a sexy beast and seems well put together. I ran it for a day or two, then turned it off...

    Patrols are beasts

    I'm loving driving this monster, i took it to an off road course the other day and I was amazed. I'm pretty sure my Colorado would have made it through, but not like the Patrol did. A walk in the park lol.

    Z71 vs Z72 vs Bison

    6' bed makes the Z71 a winner for - overlanding - around town - ranch - hauling stuff - and so on. (And yes, I have a z71 "long bed")

    Alu-cab is hard to beat! You may want to look at an ARE aluminum contractor one.

    The Road Chose Me: Driving a Jeep Wrangler 80,000 miles around Africa for 2 years

    Yup, parts of Tanzania and Kenya are just not going to happen for me, the park pricing is insane in Crater and the areas.

    For the number of trucks with them in CA, I wouldn't worry about it, and k don't think they are.

    Crisis in our national parks: how tourists are loving nature to death

    @JaSAn , well I suspect that why you saw way too many bears :-) there are many more people in YNOP but the bears are more scattered now, due to using natural sources for food. And yes, we have expanded refuges/etc, they however, at least in part, don't get as many people because of a multitude...

    Crisis in our national parks: how tourists are loving nature to death

    I would love to hear when it was that you "stopped" counting. Sounds like back when they allowed people to feed bears.

    Crisis in our national parks: how tourists are loving nature to death

    Yes and no. A major factor is that many Parks don't have what people want. They have limited wildlife, or no "gand canyon" and so forth. If you want to got see wolves, you have pretty much one Park. You want to see the Elk rut? You have a handful. The limited protected areas where wildlife...

    DIY "Move Bumpers"

    The little that I've heard has been that they generally are fairly "easy" to fit, as long as you are competent. I almost tried them out for my Colorado, but the company wanted to sell me one sight unseen, they didn't even have a picture of one on a Colorado yet and didn't care that I was...

    The Road Chose Me: Driving a Jeep Wrangler 80,000 miles around Africa for 2 years

    Dan, do you happen to know your average "daily" budget for Southern and Eastern Africa? Even broken down by region? Did I ask this before and forget what you told me? Also, what exactly are you doing for vehicle and medical insurances?

    Crisis in our national parks: how tourists are loving nature to death

    Too many people and not enough protected Park lands.
