I picked up a 1980 Jeep CJ7 this week that I intend to build as an adventure rig. My skills are limited, so I will have to hire some of the work done, but I want to do as much of it as I can myself. As we all know, there is great satisfaction in standing back and looking at something you built...

Designing the perfect tire has eluded tire makers for decades, because no one tire can truly do everything well. I want an all terrain tire because like most people, most of the miles I drive are on paved roads, and I need good snow traction as well. However, I also want a mud terrain, because...

People like photos, so I'll start out with one. Got my new (to me) 1979 Jeep CJ5 today. This is my 3rd CJ5, but the last one I had was when Regan was in office. I decided to start my build thread on the same day I took delivery, but please do not expect a complete build in a short time. You...

He people. I'm going to be back in a good old Jeep CJ5. I wonder how many of these old warriors are still going out there. I've had 2 Jeeps before, both CJ5s, and both prior to the internet. After years in big trucks, I'm coming home to a CJ5. I've got money down on a 1979 that I will take...

Went to the Red River Gorge Area of the Danial Boone National Forrest in KY last weekend with a couple guys in the Indiana Overlanders. It rained quiet a bit, and it's hard for a fat old cripple to get around in rugged terrain, but man is it worth it. Absolutely beautiful area. I liken our camp...

Can anyone identify this wheel? I was searching bumper swingout ideas and found this. I love the old school look of this wheel, but can't find anything like is on the web. It is perfect, and was even on an older Super Duty like mine.

I can read a map. I did 28 years in the Army and with a compass and a 1/50,000 map I can get anywhere. Problem is I never caught on the the GPS that was coming into use as I got close to retirement, and 1/50,000 military maps are impossible to come by. Also, you need a great many military...

Not trying to slam this vehicle, but I have a question. I was wondering... Why I am seeing so many trucks with the winch and/or lights hanging out in front of the bumpers, exposed to so many hazards? I am new to the "overlanding" thing. (though I did a lot of overlanding with the Army) I'm more...

I have a 1999 F-250 Super Duty. It has the Dana 50 front axle. I've done the gears and added ARB air lockers at both ends and it performs very well. However, it seems that 286,000 miles is the lifespan of the unit bearings and hubs. What say the Expo on selection of hubs? I've had Mile Marker...

We're all proud of our rigs. Lets take a look down memory lane. Post up your fullsize. How did she look when you got her (Then) and how does she look more recently (Now). . This is my 1999 F250 Super Duty the day I brought her home, (5 years ago) and in her latest form.

I want to buy... if anyone has them, a set (2) of Thule Tracker II towers. I have this cargo system on my camper shell of my truck. One is broke, and one is about to. Seems you can only order them new in sets of 4, and they are very expensive. Mine look like this...

After reading many build threads, I decided to document the build of my own truck. I got a good deal on a 200,000 mile 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty, crew cab, short bed, 4x4 with a 7.3L Power Stroke diesel. I was rust free, and factory everything except the wheels. …and the engine was making scary...

I haven't had luck searching... What does everyone do about trash and waste? I have traveled with the Army for 28 years... I'm good at camping out, but sometimes the Army leaves a wake of destruction in it's path. We just have a trash bag in the truck, use portta potties, or Gatorade bottles...

New guy here... Just got done reading a long thread... I'm jealous of some of these trailers. Anybody do mods to, or have experience with pop-up campers in the wild? I've been "camping" is a lot of interesting places over the years. My camping trips now are limited, as I sleep in the...
