"Has he taken you out to see the Hot springs along the Carson river yet?" "Yeah, Grandpa... and the trail there was AWESOME!!!" "Yeah... He and I found that trail over 20 years ago. I'm glad he's takin' you to some wild places..."

Not Tuesday, but... "Listening to Grandpa's stories..."

Ummm.... Fill the gas tank with gas, the ice chest with beer and just... go. It's summer. Gas and beer and tunes and just roll with what ever else happens (Sand, mud, wet gear, melting snacks, things you swore you'd clean up later) as part of the adventure.

Howdy from Northern California...

Go ahead and use that #2 lane to pass me, Ricky Bobby. You do you, and don't expect me to get out of your way anymore than I'll expect you to slow it down and cool your jets.

This. I've had my 6g for 2 years & 13,000 miles. I haven't caught a rock to the windshield yet. I've had my 1st gen for 24 years now, same windshield. Says 'Libby-Owens-Ford' in the corner, leading me to believe it could possibly be the original 54 year old windshield - or at least a 24-plus...

Sunrise up at 7,400'

The can of Krylon flat black at Home Depot would have nearly doubled the cost of the wood handled shovel...🤣😂🤣

I went pretty much the same route... Home Depot's version was < $20... Tucks down behind the back seat with the air compressor and recovery gear perfectly. From the outside, I'm just an Outter Banks mall crawler, just miles from pavement. Draws zero attention.

My son's employer was discontinuing Trico wiper blades about 6 months ago - said they couldnt get them anymore. He asked me if I wanted any as they were 'just throwing them away'. I told him I'd take whatever they had for the 4 vehicles the wife & I have... Got 4 pairs for the Bronco - I...

Maybe, right after pressing the button to turn it off, you all of a sudden like reach down and pull the parking brake button as well? Or... and this is definitely more advanced... do them at the same time? I've got a whole pre-flight mental checklist - power on, auto start stop off...

In the Tahoe National forest, commercial logging is absolutely essential to bringing the forest fuel load back into balance. I've lived up here most all my life, and would welcome commercial logging like what was done in the 60's and 70's, back when the Department of Forestry managed our...

Probably the same.exact sentiment back in 66 - 77 when folks plopped down $4k of their hard earned money on a 'Ranger' edition, an 'Explorer' edition... or one of the Bill Stroppe highly modified ones. Yet here we are. Glad I bought mine 25 years ago when it was relatively unfashionable. I...

They say that around here, too... but a dash cam and a lawyer will have them buying you a new windshield. CA law says nothing except clear water and live poultry feathers allowed to leave ANY vehicle while on a public road. A rock truck with a sign hinting that they plan on shedding rocks is...
