    Big Cleanup Sale. Lots of offroad stuff!

    I may be interested in the parking line sprayer.

    Thinking about a Chevy Astro Van for light camping/offroad adventures...

    Of course you'd know that the windshield was improperly installed. :)

    How much would one be into a beginner kit of goods for ciders etc?

    Trying to convince my mom in getting a 4runner for her self... help me out here.

    I'd look more into earlier Kia Sorentos before I looked deeply into Ford Escapes. The Sorentos have a great V6 and full boxed truck frame; even owned a few of the Dakar rallies.

    Trying to convince my mom in getting a 4runner for her self... help me out here.

    I've actually heard great things about Escapes.. The older ones with true 4WD, and get very respectable gas mileage. Parts are not going to be hard to come by.

    Response to "Sponsor Not Paying"

    Yup, RUKKASTIXX failed by overcommiting and ABFE failed by not pulling the advertisment plug when zero monies hit their mailbox.

    Response to "Sponsor Not Paying"

    It's not fair to the current sponsors of AreaBFE to have someone pretending to sponsor and get free ads/association with BFE. FWIW, I don't see anything wrong with Olaf trying to raise awareness through the interwebs if other means aren't producing results due to the lack of communication...

    Canguro Racing - Vegas To Reno

    Kurt failed to mention the rockin starter motor swap @ pit 3. Diagnosed and replaced with a fresh starter in 10minutes. I had a blast chasing and setting up pits for Canguro. There is a lot of time that is put into prepping the car, and working out logistics of chase/comms/pits etc. The...

    where do I mount a fire extinguisher?

    The Canguro Racing 5 Unlimited desert car runs this style of extinguisher mount. The clamps broke during our last race, but suprisingly the mount and extinguisher stayed with the car. I happened to notice it during a pit somewhere around 100-150 miles into the race.

    where do I mount a fire extinguisher?

    A 100% agree with Red. Lest we forget: Plan for the worst, practice drills on handling it.

    Canguro Racing - Vegas To Reno

    Great day and experience despite the fact that it ended in a decision to put the car on the trailer after 288 miles of the 530 mile course were under our belt. Engine developed a knock; thinking rod bearing. The car had been running like a dream all day, and we were forecasting a 4am finish line...

    Canguro Racing - Vegas To Reno

    We'll be leaving the Start line around 11:30 local time. The APRS is via HAM signals reaching out to satellite wich drop into the google map.. The car is on a trailer in front of us as we are headed to Beatty where the race starts.

    Canguro Racing - Vegas To Reno

    If you'd like to follow Canguro during the race today go to www.aprs.fi then type K6KRU-1 into the search box; that will track the race car. Type in KE7FYQ-1 to track Chase 3, which is Kurt's truck. Olly and I will be Chase 3 for most of the day, then I'll swap into two other chase trucks as we...

    I bought a new expedition rig. Welcome the G500

    I'm sure this rig will work for what you will use it for. I bet that any rig rollin on OE shocks would get eaten up on the Canning Stock Route just the same.. To MB's credit, all the Gwagons made it to the end of the trip after addressing the suspension issues.

    I bought a new expedition rig. Welcome the G500

    Point is, it shouldn't really matter what vehicle takes you out in the hills.. I think the "perfect expedition vehicle" is the one that you use to explore. It's a 4x4 vehicle that was build for road comforts. You'll take it on some car camping trips and call them "expos". :-) ... And then...

    I bought a new expedition rig. Welcome the G500

    Legendary for sure... "....six out of its seven G-Wagons have been crippled by broken rear shock absorbers seven days into the drive. The lone undamaged vehicle is actually a specially modified military-spec vehicle called the G-Professional"...

    Northern Utah Fall Quarterly Training Day + Service Project up AF Canyon: September 28-29th 2012

    FWIW, this upcoming training event coinciding with NPLD plays right into the underlying force/motivation being the training day events - Land Use and proper trail etiquette. This event will add to the previous events and give hands-on experience beyond what can be had at MMP. We do Tread Lightly...
