Wyoming B.S. Thread

I hadn’t even heard of this show till today, sounds like it’s the Outdoor channel of the offroading world.

 

Hahahaha, @mrs.turbodb and I just watched that episode last night when I saw it was to Montana. Was going to post it today since it was a bunch of the stuff we did.

My hope is that not too many folks follow them up there - would suck to have that trail overrun with full-size rigs and trailers.

OK - two things:

1. Did some of our front diffs come with different size allen key drain plugs? Went to change the oil in the front diff of the 4Runner and it looks like it's a 12mm hex key, as oppossed to the 10mm on the Taco. Was not expected.
   
   
   
2. Can one use Red Line MT-90 (
   $24 Red Line (50304) MT-90 75W-90 GL-4 Manual Transmission and Transaxle Lubricant - 1 Quart
   this stuff) in the transfer case? Internet seems to have conflicting info. "Asking for a friend."

@Digiratus

 

The "T" in the name is for transmission. Having said that, it's still 90 weight gear oil. I do not think it'll hurt the t-case if that's what you're asking.

edit: and yes, I have read that some front diffs came with 12 mm drain and fill plugs.

And @Blackdawg Happy Birthday old an.

 

Lot of new cool shit but we didn't need it before and don't now still. Rtts are one thing but all the little small gadets out there that people buy all the time..idk.

The Morrison one was the start of the fakeness. Ruined it for me as well and has never once been the same. Probably never will be. Though I wouldn't know as I haven't watched an episode of it since.

Thanks! I'm catching up to you

 

^^^ Hmmmm , Skottles
I’ve given up my burner stove and use only a Skottle. Very versatile, easy clean up is my favorite aspect. When done cooking (anything & everything) I pour maybe 2-3 cups of water in it , bring to boil , brush the inside , dump n done. Stowe’s away with a small footprint.
I Love that thing !
Breakfast , spaghetti, burgers , steaks , rice , steamed vegetables, toast , you name it.

 

What’s a skottle? Everything I find on google looks like a wok

 

It's a WOK but has a burner underneath and a tripod it sits on, it's basically a really stupid way to burn yourself

 

What’re you supposed to cook with when using a wok? A fire?

We usually just through it on the campchef haha.

I’ll have to take a picture of our little “custom” skottle though, it’s pretty bad ass

 

I just bring a pan and my stove :/

 

Yeah it does look like a Wok but works great. I was skeptical at first but ran into somebody that was using one. I was impressed and tried it.
Not going back.

Tembo Tusk sells them.

 

Thats we do it too, but this was a gift, might as well use it, and campers have more storage than our trucks so might as well

 

What I like about is that you cook in the middle then push say home fries out to the edge where it’s not so hot. The home fries stay warm while you cook some meat , then the eggs. Really efficient and only one item to wash with no soap.

 

It just seems like it’s be big and annoying to haul around.

But what diameter is the wok? Ours is like 2 feet, which would be annoying for sure

 

Well for me , I found it to be easier to store than my previous Coleman camp stove (2 burner)
I have the bag which holds the skottle , steaming lid and gas bottle.
The legs go in a separate bag .
It’s easy to move around where the stove needed a specific place to set it up.

I bought the steaming lid at Wally World for like $6

 

Just getcha an old disc from a farmer, and weld the holes up and put handles on it.

Done

Or just

You guys might actually benefit from something like this if you foreswore liquid meals like soups, cause then you wouldn't have to pack the Coleman at all

 

That's true, I know I could make my kitchen crate way more efficient. But I don't have any woodworking skills at all so it'll probably stay messy until I decide to buy a better organizer.

 

I'm thinking of downsizing to backpacking modular system.

 

If I werE looking into cooking set ups and had a little bit of money I could put into one I’d look at jetboil basecamp systems, kinda spendy but quality and you can really beat them for the sizes. That I know about anyway.

And I’m sure there’s some knock off somewhere for cheaper.

 

Yeah been eyeing that. Be super handy.

The base camp setup would allow you to use the same pans I already do. But weigh less and take up less space.
