    Cast Iron Restoration

    I've got my work cut out for me on this pan. I found this a while back in an out building with no roof on a friends homestead here in Montana. I have no idea what brand this pan it, how old it is, how long that gunk has been stuck to it, or what that gunk is composed of. Right now I've got it...

    ExPo Homebrewers

    My dad is an American Homebrewers Association member and avid homebrewer and is passing the hobby on to me. Yes.....I opened my Christmas present early. I came home from work one day and found a box from Northern Brewer so what else was I supposed to do? :wings: He got me the one gallon...

    ExPo Mud Flaps

    Is there such thing as an Expedition Portal unofficially endorsed mud flap? What are everyone's suggestions? The reason I ask is because I ripped one off my truck last summer in an incident with a tree stump and have been needing to replace it so as to stay legal in states that require them...

    Too good to be true

    I found this on accident today and from what I can tell it is a real product (how they do the alcohol I haven't figure out), but I can't actually find anyone who actually sells it which makes me believe it might not be legit. Supposedly it is made by Katadyn, as in the company that made my...

    Some basic maintenance questions

    This question isn't for my jeep, but rather for my 1989 S10 4-cylinder 4x2 pickup with 205k on the clock. I got it about a year ago and put 15k on it since then and am thinking of doing some maintenance to try and get another 100k out of it. I know from changing my oil that I've got baaad...

    Theoretical question: XJ panel wagon

    Last night I was laying in bed and doing some thinking, very dangerous stuff going on there. I was thinking it would be kind of neat and different to take the large rear side windows on an XJ and replace them with a solid piece of fiberglass. It really wouldn't be hard to do, just cut your...

    Deer: 0 XJ: 2

    Well last night I hit my second deer in my jeep. My first deer I only knicked her and all it did was broke my turn signal and headlight bezel. This one is a different story though... I had just left work at about 4:00 and was maybe a mile up the highway, on the right side is a steep bank down...

    Theoretical questions on a Grand Wagoneer

    So here is a little bit of background: My wife and I have a fully restored 1977 Airstream International Land Yacht, a 31 footer that weighs in at a little over 4 tons dry with probably close to 1500 tongue weight. But the problem is we don't have a vehicle to pull it so it just sits next to...

    Favorite way to cook bacon

    Bacon seems to be pretty popular these days and everyone has their specific ways to do it. So how do you? I've seen people use waffle irons, bake it, non stick pans and cast iron, full length strips or cut into chunks, crispy or soft, so many different ways. My favorite is in a cast iron pan...

    White water boats

    Over the weekend me and my uncle and cousin did a little river trip on Bull River in north west Montana over the weekend. Me and my cousin both paddled little recreational kayaks and my uncle was in his white water kayak, I can't remember what brand or model or anything it is. The section of...

    Cast Iron Restoration

    This weekend was the big weekend for garage sales all over my county, so my wife and I hit the ATM then got out looking for some deals. I found this little 6 inch cast iron skillet for a dollar that I decided I couldn't live without. I'm not sure how old it is or what brand it is, on the...

    How to kill an XJ in one easy step!

    This is the definitive guide to taking a perfectly good XJ and sending it to jeep heaven: Step one (the only step): Drive it into a creek that is way to deep and hydrolock the engine. Yes, I've finally done it. Let me tell you a long story..... My inlaws got here on Friday afternoon, and...

    Jeep print

    I work IT support in a public school, and my office is a little room off the back of the art room. The art teacher knows I am a jeep fanatic, so he surprised me with a print he made yesterday. This scan doesn't do it justice, it looks much better in real life, but it is still pretty freaking...

    Charged by a bear!

    So I've lived in north west Montana for about a year and one week exactly, and I've done quite a bit of hiking and stuff throughout that time. Last night it was about 8:30 in the evening, and I was walking along this short trail (couple hundred yards) to this gorge where a river is funneled...

    First time replacing drum brakes

    Well, I installed drum brakes for my first time over the weekend. It wasn't fun, but I wouldn't hesitate to ever do it again. Thats a dirty operation too, my coveralls were totally black on the front and my hands still have black stains on them. My first problem was answered by the internet...

    How to clean a gas can?

    Last summer I picked up a metal jerry can for a couple bucks at a garage sale. :wings: I got the better of the two, the other was pretty rusty. This one though has some sediment and a little bit of old fuel or some other liquid in it. It doesn't smell like gas or diesel so I'm not sure...
