Main Topic: Wearable Parts

Jeff and I have always preached maintenance for your rig. Well, what does that mean? What needs maintaining?

What are parts that will last a long time, but need attention every once in awhile vs a part that might need maintenance once a year?

What do I need to monitor on my rig?
Jeff seems to have had some serious issues that he has discovered. Luckily he found them before the where major problems.

Budgeting for rebuilds and repairs?

Sounds like Jeff needs to upgrade to a HP Dana 70 front or build a custom 14 bolt front. What brand gears is he running that he keeps chipping teeth off of?

Hi guys love the show and the addition of Forrest hope everything’s going great. I particularly loved the episodes you did on overlanding and off-road trailers. Would love to hear more content on overlanding in general. Have you guys thought about an episode on roof top tents? I’m in the market right now and have been considering the local brands like CVT and Tepui. Any suggestions? Do you guys run a RTT?
Thanks again keep up the great work.

Thread of the Week
Rattling sound from my jeep!
my 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited started making this rattling sound a few days ago. The sound reminds me of a baseball card on a bike spoke. The first day the sound started in was only when pressing the accelerator and now 2 days later it’s only when idling. i haven’t got to do much investigating yet to attempt to find out where exactly the sound is coming from but I’m doing that tomorrow morning. I am pretty much clueless when it comes to automotive stuff but I’d really like to change that. Anyone had something similar happen and maybe have some advice?

The world leader in airguns is an American-based company headquartered in western New York: Crosman Corporation. If you haven’t looked at airguns lately, what they’re doing will blow your minds!

The pistols are the Crosman GI Model 1911BB, a CO2 operated BB pistol with realistic blowback. It has a 20-shot magazine and can shoot BBs up to 450 feet per second.

For the JKSKINZ mounts we went with their MTR77NP. If you had a break action airgun as a kid, this gun is right up your alley. It’s styled after an M14 complete with foregrip. When you break it open and pull the muzzle down, there’s an opening in the top of the foregrip for inserting the pellet into the breech. Close it up and go shooting. And this gun has Crosman’s Nitro Piston powerplant which is a gas piston that replaces the coiled steel spring, making it quieter and more accurate.

In the door mounts are Benjamin Armada precharged pneumatic rifles. The rail may look familiar – Crosman partnered with Magpul to incorporate the M-LOK accessory rail on this gun plus it will accept any AR furniture. Benjamin is Crosman’s high end brand and this is a $1,000 .22 caliber rifle that is fully suppressed from the factory, has a 10-shot magazine and is pressurized to 3,000 PSI for shooting. It will get over 30 shots from a fill. This is the Magpul Edition and includes MOE grip and stock plus a 4-16×56 mm scope and bipod.

For the Rackbone mount we opted for the Benjamin Bulldog. This is a .357 caliber that shoots a 145 grain bullet designed by Nosler for hunting deer and hogs!

All these are available now and you can learn more at Crosman Dot Com.
