    Ineos?

    IMHO, steering is a non issue. I think this is debated by those who don’t have much seat time or those who want it to be something else. It steers great for what it is - a double solid axle truck. It does not steer as well as a modern IFS truck with rack and pinion steering on pavement. Off...

    Trail Cam Pics

    Forgive my ignorance. I wasn’t aware that there was any public or private place to hunt in that area. Perhaps one day I’ll meet some of these fine gentlemen.

    Let’s see your watch. What’s the story behind it?

After 27 years of marriage, it dawned on me, in that store in that moment, that the last bit of jewelry I bought for myself was my wedding band. The jeweler is a Rolex AD. Asked me what I...

    Advice for our FE Intern

    Seek to answer “How can I…?” Autograph your work with excellence. Whether a task is small or large, it should be done with enough care, effort and pride that you are willing to attach your name to it as a stamp of quality. “The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too...

    Books that shaped your outlook on adventure or manhood.

    Agree with many of the mentioned books shared by the group. Two I didn’t see mentioned are, “Where The Red Fern Grows” by Wilson Rawls and “Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage” by Alfred Lansing.

    Show us your rig. What’s your setup for the field?

    It’s a BMW 3 liter turbocharged inline six cylinder (B58). I replaced a ‘04 LR Disco II for this. The Disco was great but began to take more and more time away from my outdoor pursuits for maintenance. As the saying goes, “Land Rover: turning owners into mechanics since 1948.”
