    Noob Question - Pulling in Reverse?

    Hope this question isn't too "noobish" or hasn't been beaten to death in another thread. I think I recall reading somewhere that if you need to extract a stuck vehicle, the extracting vehicle should not pull in reverse.

    Thinking About an LR3

    We recently moved to northern Nevada and my wife decided she wanted a Jeep Wrangler. After driving a couple she decided they were too noisy, too rough and too primitive. Based on that I think an LR3 might be what we want/need. It would not be a daily driver, in fact it would be our fourth...

    Need Advice on Equipment

    I was in the Tahoe Truckee area this weekend dong some easy trail driving and came upon a tree recently fallen across the trail. It wasn't a large tree, one of those birch or aspen things and I could have easily dragged it off the trail with the truck if I'd had the right equipment, but I...

    What the heck is this thing?

    Took a short adventure recently to remote part of California's high desert. Was doing some exploring and came upon this: Its obviously a stone monument of some sort, built from local rock found around the base. It's about 12 feet tall and 4 feet square at the base. It's extremely sturdy...
