    Looking at vans, opinions wanted.

    I've found two vans that I'm going to look at this weekend. Both are RB E350s. One is a 2013 V10 with 79k miles for $18900, the other is a 2014 5.4 with 32k miles for $21900. I'm planning on converting to 4x4 with a Ujoint kit, so I like the idea of the V10 van with 5R110 trans, but the mileage...

    Fireworks Pictures?

    With all of the festivities going on this weekend does anyone have any tips or trick to share to get some good firework pictures? If you wanted to take a long exposure with several fireworks in the frame how do you meter for it? I want to use a small aperture so I can get the city lights in the...

    Towing with a Warn bumper

    Has anyone been using their Warn tire carrier/bumper for towing? I'm hoping to get by towing a 1400lb trailer without another reciever. Vehicle is a 2005 Unlimited. The way it's braced to the frame it looks strong enough to me. Anyone tried and had one fail? Disclaimer: I know the bumper says...

    Roktoys84's Kamparoo TC

    Picked it up yesterday. :wings: Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic, I'll get some more pics this weekend when I'm cleaning it up a bit. Any tips or tricks I should know about? The seller didn't know too much about it, he hadn't used it much in the year he owned it. What's the easiest way...

    Kamparoo durability?

    How durable are the Kamparoo campers. I'm looking at a 2002 Kamparoo Trans Cont pkg locally for a great price. I need to know if this will hold up being towed offroad. Also, in the pictures I've seen I can't tell if there is any place to put my Engle 45?

    Which shocks and coils for my LJ?

    I'm getting very tired of my rough riding Unlimited. It's currently set up with a custom Mt. Logan Offroad long arm lift with 6" Fabtech coils and Skyjacker shocks. It has bumpers, sliders, corner guards, and a 37" Cooper hanging on the tire carrier. It bottoms out the rear suspension very...

    Joining the club

    I was lurking in the Communications forum over the weekend and after seeing how many people use 2m radios for overland travel I decided to get my license. I downloaded a study guide from KB6NU’s Ham Radio Blog on Sunday, read through it, took some practice exams at eHam and took my tech exam...

    Durability of an Engel

    I just bought an Engel 45 with transit bag before my trip to Southern Utah. 10 days in the desert and no ice! Now I want another one! But before I start packing it in the back of an open top Jeep I need to know how durable/weatherproof these are. How do they handle dust? Or rain? Will the...

    Jump Start Pack

    I'm looking for a jump start pack to take with me on backcountry trips. I haven't seen anything locally that I was very impressed with. I don't need a built in compressor or anything like that, just plenty of power to do the trick. What is everyone else using?
