Looks like fun. Do you have room for a 1953 M38A1 (with a few mods)? No sides or doors - just a soft bikini top; so if it looks like bad weather or real cold - I would chicken out. I would drive, or trailer up from the Napa Valley assuming I could leave my truck and trailer at the hotel...

Sunday was my dad's 90th birthday party. We finished up the evening with some Cohiba Piramides and Capo di Stato grappa.

3 Prime Ribeyes Yesterday was my dad's 90th birthday party. I cooked 3 prime ribeyes in my wood oven.

I did my first off-road, 4 wheeling this past weekend and had a great time. I found that while I had excellent guidance from the spotters, losing sight of what's ahead in my path was a bit disconcerting. Do any of you guys run cameras to assist in determining your line through the obstacles...

Did my first ever - camping trip, off-road, Rubicon Run This past weekend was a milestone of achievements for me. I joined the local 4WD group on their Rubicon Run. It was my first experience at camping - no running water or flush toilets (any kinda toilets to be precise), sleeping out (ok -...

I need a bit of assistance. The leads were removed from my winch and now I have to replace them - my question: Were does the pos lead from the battery connect? My guess is it attaches to the terminal with the red wire coming from the remote plug-in receptacle. Here is a picture of the winch...

Not sure this is in the correct forum, but here goes: Getting ready to go on the Rubicon - first time, but not my first time off-road. It will, however, be my first time camping. Normally I am a light switch, running water, FLUSH toilet guy - but I have relented and agreed to give it a try...

Here's my rig - 1953 M38A1, stretched 17". Running 350 with TBI. 44 front, 60 rear. PSC power assist stearing (I don't know if pure hyd is street legal) SM420 - Atlas Xfer case. It drives great - off road and on. Frame is custom built 2 X 4 square tube. I don't know how much more you...

New to off-roading, can someone tell me the benefits of having a CB? Which one would be the best choice? Portable or fixed mount? Are there set frequencies for off-road? Is there a license requirement? Thank you

Anyone install a GPS in their rig - if so, which one? Is there a unit which will provide guidance on off-road trails?

That thing truly is a beast. It's amazing how people just get out of your way when they see you coming. My buddy also has one of the river boats used by the Brown Water Navy in Vietnam. I have a video of it somewhere - I'll try to locate it and post it. It's a blast. My dad says "hi to...

My buddy's half-track. I took my family for a drive down Main Street, St Helena, CA. "Honest officer, it's street legal" Side note: My dad, the grey haired guy sitting behind the 50 was a tank commander in WWII, he enjoyed the ride.

When this popped out of gear - she said, "fix it". When she saw this - she laughed and asked, "how do you plan to get in it". She is a nurse, 10 years my junior, and her family grows tobacco. We have been married 20 years. I consider myself a lucky man.

The Monte #2 and Bolivar work for me.

My idea of roughing it.

Pulled up next to me at a local cigar shop My new friend, trying out my rig

How do you post a profile picture?

I stretched my M38A1 to a wheelbase of 102". Took two bodies and cut/spliced at the door and aft wheel well. Replaced the C channel frame with custom 2 X 4 square tube. Makes it easier to get behind the wheel, and added cargo space. Much improved ride and handling. Actually turns tighter...

Any of you guys in Northern Calif have suggestions for easy going off road trips? Some off road driving but not a lot of rock crawling. Thanks

I am running 37" Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ tires on Allied Beadlocks. Day to day driving is frontage road to town, then city streets. If I decide to get on the freeway - East Bay or to San Francisco - I can cruise at hwy speeds - 65-75mph is not a problem. I venture off road - trails, logging...
