Let's meet on the Cape for to say farewell to summer, hello to autumn!
Friday September 8 --> Sunday September 10 @ North of Highlands Campground, North Truro on the Cape
This is a lovely, historic non-profit campground to which you can walk to the beach. Weather should still be summer-warm...
I have one, and am in Boston. I took mine off for a FabFour with a hidden winch. I asked my installer to save the bumper and all the parts and fittings, and hope they did--but I don't know for sure that they did. Very little mileage--it was my first alteration.
Message me. My thought on working...
Full agreement. Two caveats:
1) 2nd hand reduces the cost outlay, but "cheap is expensive." I got bargain recovery boards from RhinoUSA, which failed horribly in mud. (An Explorer pulled me out!) But used can reduce the initial outlay, until a wheeler has had more experience and knows what he...

Yard and barn sales are worth exploring. The problem is self-control: not buying things you don't need, and sticking to a shopping list.
In addition to emergency and recovery gear, consider survival gear, especially if you run off- or rural-roads in winter. A mylar...
Quite a few ideas on this thread. Not only tools, but things like baling wire, duct tape, zip-ties etc. are added into the discussion by posters. (Plus a few silly ones.)...
Press Ctl-Alt-Delete simultaneously. That'll fix it. If it doesn't, you need a factory reset to original settings. That'll teach you not to mess around with Fortran!
Did I see a mounting plate for $300?? 🤑
I got a ThorsLightning NAPA-modified 2-cylinder 300 lpm compressor (20->40psi, 4 minutes), full set of hoses, covers and bags, and a cargo-area mounting cage for less than you people spend on the ARB Dual alone. Maybe you got that kind of money, but I don't.
Nothing to see: a 2-3 inch, L-shaped ragged tear, right at the sidewall "cleating." (Does that cleating accomplish anything? Or is it just to look rough and tough--macho? Didn't protect MY sidewall!) On another thread, I desperately sought ideas for a light-weight repair, also checked with...
I tore the sidewall of an OEM Goodyear on a trail run. For those whom the site will notify of thread updates:
1) Thanks for everybody's advice (and sympathy). I realized a repair was unlikely, but was hoping that some kind of make-do repair would allow me to A) keep driving the tread on my OEM...
Drive there without a spare, and mount one as the spare for the return trip--as suggested above. Then, if you don't have a roofrack, take one of the tires and strap it to the spare.
My son had 30 days of fun and games (sarcasm alert) at 29 Palms in July. Only a 1st Lt. he had to oversee a USMC Reserves battalion-size training operation's logistics: everything they shot, ate, used, or rode in. Happily, it came off with very few glitches and no casualties (e.g. heat...
I have Heretic lights on my Badlands. They're in Utah--go figure. Like all sorts of suppliers and vendors, the lights came with the company name to put on my truck window: "Heretic." I didn't. But I did stick on the pastor's office door! We had a few minutes fun, then took it off.
Another Utah...
Could be interested. Would you be willing to drive up to, say, Danbury CT? It's on I-84 in southwestern Connecticut and would be about half-way between Boston and Philly.
Thanks.
I came across a post, somewhere, that there were a few Gorilla-like products that could manage a make-do repair on a sidewall tear. That's what I was asking about. I'd never take a tire, so treated, on a trail or a highway. I'd treat it more gingerly than a donut.
Massachusetts is having...
