Just got back from Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, and Kentucky! Originally my plan was to spend about 5 days running the KAT (Kentucky Adventure Tour). This was to be a family vacation consisting of 3 days on Norris Lake, a day or two in Gatlinburg, TN, then working our way north east up...

I have been fourwheeling and exploring the outdoors since 1988. Prior to that I enjoyed two and three-wheeled offroading as a kid. The woods behind my house were my playground and I loved it. Over the years I have owned several offroad vehicles, a 1988.5 Suzuki Samurai, a 1995 Jeep YJ, a 2001...

Trade Built TJ for Built WJ $7,500.00 I have a 2001 Jeep Wrangler TJ that I would like to trade for a built grand cherokee. I would prefer one with 3-4 inches of lift and up to 32" tires on stock jeep wheels. I would also prefer V8 and quadradrive. Will discuss all trades. I am looking for...

So I've been watching the CUCV M1010 builds as well as the other Chevy builds and have a question. If I wanted to build a custom camper box, how would I attach it to the cab? I would like pass-through access with seating behind the cab for 3 adults (essentially a 5 passenger camper). I'd like...

I bought this homemade trailer about ten years ago with the intention of building a Base Camp trailer. I added a tongue and a plywood floor and it has been used around the farm to haul wood, junk and general utility. It has been great in that capacity. Especially for the $50 I had in it. The...

I know that Cruiseroutfit used the back of a Landcruiser frame to build his trailer: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1776&highlight=trailer I'm thinking about using the entire back half of a YJ to build mine. I would like to incorporate a 19 gallon fresh water system...

I'm starting to see a LOT of recommendations for axle swaps lately in the Jeep section. It is starting to remind me of JeepsUnlimited, JeepForum and Pirate4x4. While I agree upgrades are necessary for heavy duty rockcrawling I just don't think they are NEEDED for what most do or for what this...

My brother sent me this link to this blog. He said the guy in the blog works for him and is taking a 3 week vacation to travel the AK Hwy. Just left this past Saturday. Seems like a great adventure to me and I thought some of you might enjoy it as well. http://bushter.blogspot.com/

MS Streets & Trips on Acer Netbook? PROBLEM SOLVED! I have an Acer Aspire One netbook that I would like to use with MS Streets & Trips. I'm fairly competent with a computer but FAR from proficient. I don't have an external DVD/CD drive to load the software and am having problems. I've...

All of this Wok-talk has me curious. Asian cooking is among my favorites for eating out, but I've never tried to duplicate the results at home/camp. Where should I start? Thanks, folks.

I bought this Jeep in 1996 with only 18,000 miles on it. Got it at Zimmer Jeep in Florence, KY. I don't know who owned it previously, but judging by the number of golf tees and stubby pencils found under the carpet and in the console, I believe I saved it from a boring life. The purpose of...

I've been impressed with the rear storage options you guys and gals come up with here at Expedition Portal. One of the things I've wanted to add to my WJ is a rear storage rack. I already had a 'dog fence' installed in the Jeep when we purchased it several years ago. I had removed the lower...

Do any of you ride vintage bikes? At the end of March I got something back that I feared might be gone forever. My dad's 1973 Kawasaki F9 Bighorn. Dad bought this bike new in 1973 and put about 3800 miles on it. He traded it to his cousin in 1998 for a "woodstove" of all things. I didn't...
