    Women's "not jeans" version of the men's thread

    I'd thought to start up a thread for us ladies regarding clothes that you've gotten tired of wearing just because it's what everyone else wears, or maybe it's not really your style. I've been trying to figure out what would take the place of my Jeans, as I work on a farm and get dirty quickly...

    Finding Myself on the Road

    I told everyone that I was leaving REI near the end of April, which I did. I also moved out of my apartment in late June, and I have been living at the ranch 100 mi west of Houston. I will be leaving here September 1st to house-sit in Houston for a month before heading out to the Brenham area...

    Custom travel trailer or a Tiny House?

    I am considering the next move in my life, which hopefully will happen in 10 months. A trailer that I'm looking for is going to be used primarily as my home, so it won't be going with me on camping trips and be moved with possibly a wrecker or hauler service to be moved whenever I change jobs...

    WTS Yakima SpareTime 2-Bike Carrier

    My coworker has this bike carrier for sale and is designed for vehicles like ours with spare tire carriers on the rear gate. It's for sale at $80 (normally goes for $189). He's selling it, as he no longer has the vehicle. PM me with a phone number/email address, and I'll pass it along. This is...

    IH Nationals 2011

    Finally, my web site has the latest addition of my trip to Ohio this September. I took my Wrangler LJ on a 3,200 mi trip there and back through 8 states. Click on the "IH Nationals 2011" trip link. It's a bit of a long read at 319 photos spread across 18 days. Enjoy...

    My new LJ!

    Hello all! I found a Wrangler last Tuesday the 9th. It's a 2005 Wrangler LJ Unlimited, 4WD automatic, certified 1-owner with only 22,000 miles on it. It's silver with a black top. I wanted a manual transmission, but I had to consider that this is an LJ with more room than the TJ and a longer...

    Drivetrain conversions in Houston TX

    Who here does drivetrain conversions on Scout IIs, or knows of someone who does in the Houston area? I'm looking to find out who can do a conversion from automatic to standard, 2WD to 4WD. Thank you

    Fall Trips 2010

    I just updated my web site with my latest travels. I would have set up a thread like I did the Family Reunion thread, but it is a LOT OF WORK. I took two weeks off in October to do some traveling during the fall, when it's not as hot, but the cold weather hasn't hit yet. After the two weeks, I...

    Hubs - Manual vs Lock-O-Matic

    I recently picked up some books for my Scout, and in there I read about manual hubs versus lock-o-matic hubs. It sounds like to me that the lock-o-matic hubs were an early version of all-wheel-drive in the free mode - if the front drive shaft spun faster than the ratio to the front wheels, then...

    New Trooper?

    Just recently, at the parking lot in front of my store, I saw what looks to be a brand-new, plasticked-up Trooper (it says Trooper on the body somewhere, but it doesn't look like the last generation sold by Isuzu before they pulled dealership sales) and it's white. I say plasticked-up as a way...

    Stephanie's Family Reunion 2010

    Warning: this is not expedition material, as it doesn't contain recovery-strap-busting stories, getting eaten by hook-worms in Asia, getting chased by amorous people looking to fill a harem, nor floating down a river in the truck at a 20-degree angle. This your average...

    Honda CR-V!

    Hi everyone! I was gone for 12 days (supposed to be 11 days with a day of rest before going back to work), a day longer than I had planned. I went to Columbus Ohio to meet with some of my family there before we drove in their cars to Boston, Massachusetts for the family reunion. I had a great...

    Does anyone have any experience with Bass Pro clothing, especially for women? How do they compare with Cabela's clothing? Stephanie

    How do you secure your RTT

    I've searched through here, and I'm not finding threads on how to secure your RTTs from being stolen, since all the thieves have to do is unbolt each u-bolt and carry it off the rack. Stephanie
