I like that idea. I like it a lot.

Agreed. There's no perfect answer. And Agreed: A bottle jack with a worm gear is, without question, the safest option readily available for lifting a vehicle. It's also one of the cheapest options, one of the most compact, and one of the most reliable. It takes a bit of extra elbow grease...

Yeah, it comes with sticker shock. But, so does a helicopter trip to the emergency room when a muddy vehicle recovery becomes a rescue operation because the Hi-Lift slips, ratchets out of control, drops that loaded Taco, and cracks someone's head with its 12,000+ Newtons of force... I've seen...

I've spent 40 years using a Hi-Lift on the ranch. I don't bring it with me on overlanding adventures. It's simply not a tool that has enough safe applications to make it worth having. This ARB Jack looks like it could be a "safer" alternative to a Hi-Lift, though I'm still not sure I would...

I'm 6-1 220lbs. I used to do the thermarest and similar small air mattresses. Then we had a popup tent trailer for a while and liked the foam mattresses...but I toss and turn a lot no matter where I sleep, and I didn't like the trailer movement. So, we're back to tent camping but now with a...

I should have destroyed two Toyota truck engines. 1) 1989 22RE pickup. Pebble penetrated oil filter while bombing down a gravel road. Drove from NAZ to SAZ. Didn't notice for two weeks while driving around Tucson in summer...with 0 oil pressure. Fixed filter, filled oil, drove another 100,000...

Just picked up this beauty on Saturday. Second Taco, fourth Toyota truck. First mods: sliders and a modular bed rack.

I totally understand. I grew up off-grid and don't like to rely on anything that requires a signal. I carry my USGS topo maps in my truck at all times. I also carry an old, out-of-service smart phone with Avenza and other apps and my digital maps. The maps and app, once installed, don't...

You can send a portable drive to the USGS and they will fill it with whatever maps you ask for and send it back. Those are in geoPDF format, which Avenza (among other apps) uses. The full data storage requirement is about 1.9 TB, so it's a bit more than your tablet can handle, but if you know...
