    FYI, Overland Navigator is no longer supporting thier product. You will not be able to load/register the software, he is not responding to email. Toss it in the trash. Shame.

    1967 M416 to build or not?

    All this. Cutting and welding on a ball hitch and hacking a tailgate are the two sins with these. I wouldnt ever consider paying $50 for one that had that done to it. These things are designed for more than you may ever dish out and all the "mods" in the world are not improvements. It is...

    "Euro Spec" Hutchinson Jeep JK Wheels Group Buy?

    That sort of statement will get you thrown out of most tire shops. These are definately NOT "split" rims. They are two-piece rims and there is a difference.

    M416 spring lift question.

    My point was that with such a significant lift of the trailer a change to the tongue height is very likely. Depends on the vehicle also, but a large change usually causes other issues. The 416 has a built-in two position reciever for the lunette which may or may not help. I explored a...

    Do you feel the need to be unarmed and defensless while camping?

    Figured I would restate the question with the opposite agenda.

    M416 spring lift question.

    Spring-over is a large lift. I think it works out to 4"+. Thats alot of lift for, well, what? It does indeed affect stability, maybe you'll never flip it, but that doesnt mean its not less stable. Factor in the difficulty in accessing inside equipment because you cant reach over the rails or...

    Lowa Tibet vs Ranger vs Asolo TPS

    That boot rocks. The hands-down best I've ever worn (and I used to wear boots for a living). But keep in mind that asking which boot is best is sort of like asking people on the street which woman you should marry. Feet be different.

    What do you carry in your M416/ trailers?

    The purpose of the trailer is to remove weight from the vehicle axles. Heavy items go in the trailer, keep the vehicle light and balanced. Keep vehicle essentials in the vehicle in case you need to dump the trailer. The trailer should be as close to balanced as possible, less than 100# on the...

    Flashlight

    The 123 battery is obsolete when you consider the energy content vs runtime vs cost. They run great but its time has passed. The best option these days are the 18650 batteries. Rechargeable with much higher energy capacity. I have never been a fan of rechargeables but these are a game...

    M416 handling question

    First and most obvious (along with hazardous) is the CG. The load should be adjusted so you have positive tongue weight, IOW it should not be raising up on its own or over bumps. Some folks pull a number out of the number plucking place and say 10% of load weight on the tongue. I dont buy...

    NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR A 2 1/2 TO 3" LIFT ON 98 CHEROKEE

    Up to 3" you probably wont need a SYE, over 3-3.5" you might, at 4" you probably will. El cheapo is to use wj coils from the junk yard for maybe 1-1.5". Not sure, havent done it. You can just use shackles and blocks in the rear, but its a short cut method that may lead to axle wrap. Another...

    Overland Navigator

    I could use some support. An email a couple weeks ago has been unanswered so I will try here; My toughbook (XP) crashed and i havent fixed it yet. I used to run a copy on the desktop also, but through several crashes over the past couple years, I havent reloaded it. Needed it for a trip two...
