Anyone know a good mechanic in Yuma, AZ? Pretty sure I have a coolant exhaust rupture (head gasket leak).

I'm working on a build. It's a '97 Ford Club Wagon van. We've run into an issue capping the rear A/C lines under the van. I don't know how to pull the ends off the to cap them. Any advice would be much appreciated. I can pull of the brackets that look like they're keeping the line ends...

Not sure where to put this. Since I feel smoke affecting my health, I put it this thread. I want to share a couple online maps I use to navigate and/or know what to expect down the road in regards to wildfires. This one I use for smoke: https://hwp-viz.gsd.esrl.noaa.gov/smoke/# This one is...

Under the Homestead Act, an individual's vehicle can be considered their home. Vehicles may still be ticketed but these tickets cannot be excessive nor can the vehicle be auctioned off.

Now that I'm rocking a RWD '93 G20 and have some monies, I'm thinking of investing in some decent traction boards that will last. Can anyone suggest a good set?

Just south of Cal-Nev-Ari, NV off Hwy 95 is a dirt road called Christmas Tree Pass Road. It will take you through Christmas Tree Pass, south of Spirit Mountain, and to Grapevine Canyon Petroglyphs. The road ends on Nevada State Highway 163. Four wheel drive is recommended, but I did it in my...

CWD1 last week was pretty good If yer into that folk punk thing. CWD2 is this Friday, March 27th. It'll be streaming on YouTube and FB. https://m.facebook.com/copingwithdystopia/

I finally got rid of the platform over lots of storage space in my van. I should have taken a pic if it before taking it out, but forgot. Here's where I am so far with the redesign of my home.

I'm curious about which weather app(s) you guys use when traveling. Most apps have decent winter info, so I guess this inquiry is geared more toward thunderstorms. I've been messing around with different apps ever since The Weather Channel bought Wunderground and killed their awesome weather...

I was aimlessly surfing the web and stumbled across this pen that lets you draw in 3D. It's not super expensive either. I figured I'd pass the info on for those of you that might find a use. http://the3doodler.com/

For the other veterans out there...do you wear your dog tags? I stopped wearing mine a couple years ago to help me mentally separate from military thinking and thinking I was still in the military, but have been considering putting them back on once I get back on the road full time. Any...

I was wondering if anyone that uses an ice chest have tried using those cold packs that are used to ship medical stuff like insulin. I have a bunch of them from my parents that I used in the past for camping, but I was able to throw them in the freezer until I needed them. They do seem to...

I just read about this Dark Reader extension for the Chrome and Firefox browsers and am trying it out. Thought I'd share the link to the article I read about it in : https://lifehacker.com/add-a-dark-mode-to-any-website-with-this-chrome-extensi-1826906984

I had Verizon for a loooong time and being able to use my cell for a mobile hotspot kept me from switching to something cheaper for a couple years, but last year I capitulated and moved to Straight Talk. It gets the same coverage as Verizon, so I'm solid there, but you cannot use the phone as a...

It just occurred to me that not a lot of people outside Iowa probably know about RAGBRAI. It's a bicycle event where you ride across Iowa. I've never personally made the ride, but have hosted riders coming through my town in the past. The route changes every year. I've always heard that it's...

I came across this device while aimlessly surfing the internet. I might have to pick one up myself because I was trying to figure out how to fit a microwave or toaster oven in the back of my truck just a few days ago. RoadPro 12-Volt Portable Stove This one claims to get up to 300 degrees. I...

Any veterans that think they got shafted on their discharge, give this link a look and maybe you can get a little more dough from Uncle Sam if it leads to a disability rating or increase in it if you already have one. At the very least, you can make a solid push to set the record straight on...

Does anybody know a better deal than this? Coghlans Tent Pole Repair Kit I also wanted to link from here when I buy it so a penny or two ends up toward StP...didn't know how to set that up. Advice?

So I'm up all night. Always. I don't even start to get close to tired until after 3am (CST). I usually lay down about 5am and get up between 11am and 3pm. My natural sleeping rhythm has always been this way. Moving around to different time zones does affect the times I get tired/wake up...

I figured some folks might find the $89 (3-year plan) to be a decent price tag for this VPN on a USB dongle. You can even use it as a router for several devices. VPN's encrypt your data so snoops (think government, Google, whoever) can't monitor what you're doing online. Read a review...

Dickies has always been a brand I've turned to for work gear. I bought a black Dickies coat at K-Mart last month during the whole "buy cheap before xmas" thing was going on. I've been wearing hoodies (or doubled up hoodies when its real cold) for years and figured I might should get a coat...

Just reposting this one.....for @Odin. haha http://www.thealiencon.com/

I just stumbled across this website. Thought it would be a good addition to the cyber-toolbox. https://wrcc.dri.edu/coopmap/

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here that is guilty of zoning out to a game on their phone. Cards, bubble shooters, gem swap, RPGs, etc... I often use repetitive games to help me go to sleep. Counterintuitive to modern sleep study wisdom, but I don't fit any of those models. They're...

Anybody that's familiar with Omaha's hometown sporting goods / camping gear store will be sad to learn that they will be closing up shop after 71 years. I'm making the drive in a couple days to try to snag a good "going out of business" deal and look around one last time. They weren't the...

With winter hitting, I thought I'd throw out a tip for those that haven't thought of it or whatever. I didn't see this anywhere on the site and thought I'd share for anyone that had the need. I've done my fair share of winter camping in a tent in my younger years and in the past I've made what...

This is more for those of you that are stationary (or the innovative person with a mobile greenhouse I guess). I was reading the thread about wild plants to eat/use and it reminded me of something I learned about in college. I learned it as the "CBS diet" in the anthropology course, but after...

I will be rubbertramping it in my old '91 Miata when I hit the road in the spring unless the van gods smile down upon me. I've been looking at one person tents and came across the Kamp-Rite for $99 at the local Bass Pro Shop. I was wondering if anyone has used one of these. It doesn't...
