So this is simply something I came across recently and figured it should be shared. For Colorado Search and Rescue they are recommending both GMRS and FRS users to use Channel 3 for Emergency Communication as needed. Looks like this started in 2023 for the recommendation, so it's not exactly...

One of the things that gets important when you're going on the trail or even on a long road trip is making sure you have a place to keep certain things nice and cool. That leaves you with the options of a ice chest or a powered cooler of sorts. For me I decided to go with a powered cooler. To be...

As many are aware, there are three different ways you can go about lifting the rear of the Ranger(and other Leaf Spring vehicles). Those options are Leaf Springs, Blocks and Shackles. From best to worst is Leafs over Blocks and Blocks over Leafs. Some may be asking why and we will go over that...

For those not aware, GME has decided to step into the GMRS world of Radios. The cool thing is it's also made in Australia vs most others that are made in China(Midland included here). In Australia GME is known for CB type UHF Radios with a 5 watt limit. Because of that they currently only have...

So for about the last month I have had the chance to run the WeBoost Drive Reach Overland on my truck. For a while it is something I was wanting as I saw the benefits while traveling. Well I'm now glad that I have it and I can explain the positive and negative things about it. Now of course...

As some of you are aware, I recently replaced the Radiator in my 2012 Frontier. Well I have no intention of putting the old one back in and instead will replace the current one with a new OEM Radiator. Well because of all that I decided to go ahead and do a teardown of the OEM Radiator I took...

So at this time I am currently running the ARB Single Compressor from the old portable kit. All in all it works well for what it is and I have already proven it to be quicker than the ViAir that many rave about. That said I feel I'm at a point for an upgrade. I am currently looking at the new...

A joke of course, but for context this is for a Caterpillar 793 Haul Truck in a Mine and the Tire by itself cost $250,000 a piece! Oh and it's roughly 12 ft tall!

Putting this in the general since it will relate to more than just the Ranger. This will simply be about some observations I have taken with the 2019 Ranger and the 2012 Frontier on how they act with 87 and 91 Octane Fuel. For what it's worth we already know that there are plenty of arguments...

For those that like to travel into the wilderness and go camping from time to time, it is already known that one of the things we should probably have with us is a tank full of water. This would usually be freshwater of sorts that could be used for drinking or any other type of thing you would...

So recently I got my hands on a pair of Wavian Fuel Cans(decided to convert from RotoPax). Well after getting them mounted to my roof rack I noticed that the holder for the spout is a bit weak and can easily allow the spout to come off from bumps and stuff. What I'm curious about is what...

This is going to be one of those informative type posts to help individuals understand when they should replace or rebuild(if applicable) your Shocks and Struts. Now I don't care if you still have the Factory Shocks and Struts or if you changed to something else, this will still apply to you...

So I'm not sure who here would be interested, but at the end of July myself and one of my old co-workers will be hitting part of the Wyoming Backcountry Discovery route. As long as things go well we plan to head up to the trailhead on the 25th. We also plan to do the trail on the 26th 27th and...

Something that was released fairly recent is the Overlanding 101 Book by Scott Brady. Since I am one that likes the idea of getting out and about, I figured it would be a good idea to pickup this Book that has a bunch of good general information on Vehicle Based Adventure Travel. Well I...

When I got into the 2019 Ford Ranger there was one thing I found to be the most annoying thing ever. That happened to be the lack of storage space under the rear seat. Now keep in mind that before the Ranger I had a 2016 Nissan Frontier crew cab. My Ranger was also a crew cab. With the frontier...

So as some may know I already have a plan to go through Wyoming in August for the Backcountry Discovery Route. Well I just got a copy of the Best(Scenic) Roads to Drive on Wyoming. After looking at the map it looks like there is more than enough to keep one busy for a long time. What I'm...

So for those that are not aware, the Weenie 500 is today at Indy!! The race technically starts at 2:00 PM EST, but the streaming starts at 1:45 PM EST! 6 Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles will be racing today!

It is official...... If you are a mechanic then you are a masochist.......... How did I determine this You ask?! Simple, most of the time when you go to work on a vehicle something else goes wrong............ Great example is my Frontier...... Today I decided to go ahead and...

This is going to be a nice introduction of SuperPro Control Arms that have recently become available. Though I may specify a bit for my Frontier, things will be similar for the Ranger as they have a set available for the Ranger. Now for those that are not aware, SuperPro is a Australian...

This should be helpful for those that are considering buying a fridge for their vehicle and don't know what to get. For those that are wondering why a Fridge instead of a Ice Chest? Well you can have a smaller Fridge and hold the same amount of stuff over a Ice Chest as you need to get a bunch...
