    Steel prices

    And thats why as painful as it is, i have just been throwing steel and aluminum away. Its not even worth taking the small stuff there around me. The final straw was when i realized i spent more in fuel than i got back on the final load i took.

    Coronavirus

    Death rate is at under 3.3% globally. Had been declining, but now ramped back to that point with Italy. The more people get tested, the more the number will continue to drop. And people compare to the flu, due to the number the flu kills every year, with zero concern.

    Unfortunately had a feeling that might occur.

    Forgot the what am I bringing. I will be in my hybrid caged 80 series, and will be there with two other well built tacomas. Will be driving it out from the Chicagoland area.

    EJS 2020 -> Who's going and what are you bringing?

    Honestly I'd love to be able to join an RME run. Coming out for the first time this year, for the first weekend and Monday. Heading to Sand Hollow Tuesday. I know Pritchett is on our hopeful list to hit

    Wheelin/Trail Goals for 2020

    Looking forward to making my way to EJS for the first time for at least a portion of it, and then continuing on to Sand Hollow. Should be a fun 11 day trip from here in Chicagoland. Will be my second trip to Moab, but looking forward to seeing the madness. Do have a few questions, but wasn't...

    Happy Birthday to.... RME!!!

    I may not post much, but this is a regular check in for me still, one of the few actually. Like many, I found it linked not only from Pirate4x4, but also Wild Yoats. Keep up the great work, Greg!

    Getting healthier in 2020. Who's in?

    I'm in. Lost 65 pounds two years ago, but have now put 25 of it back on over the last year. Really need to get things back on track so I can get my knees feeling better before I head to Moab in April. Plus it will force me to check on the board more frequently.

    Best off road 40" tires

    I love my 40" Nitto Trail Grappler's. They are on a 6400 pound 80 series, and have been one of the best all around tires I have ever run. As they are getting up there in age I keep looking at what I am going to replace them with, and ultimately I will just be buying another of the same. On road...

    How often do you wheel ?

    Not nearly enough, but for me anything good is a 5+ hour drive. Generally get out for one 10 day trip per year, and 6 long weekends. Seems like a waste at times to have my built 80 series, but I do drive it to work periodically.

    Official 12V Freezer-Fridges - Do they bring the heat?

    Old thread I know. But, pulled the trigger on a dometic CFX50 over Memorial Day. Looked at all others, and while I feel I could have gone smaller, the dimensions fit perfectly working around the limitations of the cage in my 80-series. Just got back from a 10 day trip, and all I have to say...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Thanks! Now that she's old enough to actually help, garage time has gotten a lot more fun. Even if it's at a slower pace.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Lots of little stuff this weekend gearing up for my upcoming trip. New antenna mount for the CB and tuned it, upgraded crossmember/skid, swapped my new spare tire onto an an existing wheel to keep my spare wheel new, new locker actuator, but the best one was changing the color scheme with my...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Knocked out a new hinged and removable rear cargo platform/spare tire hold down. Now I get to ditch the ratchet hold down.

    Any decent beadlocks around $250/ea?

    Any thought of internal beadlocks? I ran Stauns years ago and loved them, they just had some opportunities getting stuff stuck in the outer bead wheeling in muddy ravines in the Midwest. The new Pro Comp Vapors are real nice, and if you can catch them during a promo they may be close to the...
