winter

I know we missed the "winter wheeling trip" we do at Flagpole in February. Just wondering if there is any interest in a weekend run while it's cold.

With the frigid weather and people recovering from the holidays, we've got some opening in our schedule. We just sent out an email blast to our mailing list offering a 10 percent discount on repairs. I thought I'd post it here as well. If you've got work you've been putting off give us a call...

There has been a lot of interest in doing a winter camping trip in the snow. Unfortunately I'm not a weather predictor scientist and have no idea at what elevation the snow will be at on the 27th. So in the meantime I have mapped several locations in the Darrington, Mt Baker and Beckler River...

Dumb question and maybe a moot point... Anyone have a preference on running the HVAC in the colder winter months in AUTO mode with the A/C "on"? I know running it, A). keeps things lubed in the system B). dehumidifies to some extent with a car full of steamy people C). burns more gas Just...

winter is here.. who loves winter camping?? I like. but recommend which is better camping stove made of steel or titanium?

Good Afternoon All, January 20 and 21. Here are the details of this years event. I believe we did one last year and it was a great time. As long you prepare properly winter camping is a blast. Before anything else there is one caveat to this trip: Hoosier National Forest does not have...

DixieLand Cruisers will be hosting our 6th Annual Coal Creek Winter Summit at Windrock Offroad Park over MLK weekend, January 12-15, 2024. We have 1 cabin rented this year right off Windrock Rd. In years past we have rented 2 cabins (SquatchNest and Off the Beaten Path), but they were already...

just bought these for my 80 series. Great deal. Amazon link

Just brought home my ‘13 LX with 143,000 miles from my detailer, he did his magic on my headlights it looks amazing! Several customers could not believe the paint job on the truck and commented on it being 10 years old!

If anyone is interested, we plan on trying to find some snow in the mountains. Meetup location: Coastal Farm & Ranch near the Starbucks US-2, Monroe, WA 98272 Time: 9am Plan on heading up to the Beckler River Road and driving some side roads to find some snow in the higher elevations.

Hello I'm looking into new tires and Love the BFG tires but we are heading onto winter and wondering how well they handle in winter ?

Hi all, I’ve got an odd question regarding starting to tackle some projects on my newly purchased 80. I don’t have a garage and live in WA state. Winter is rather chilly. My question is regarding a birfield service, if I chip away at it over a few days and cover the open axle side I am...

Hello, I wonder if anyone has an idea about what is going on? When the weather drops to around 5 degrees celsius I sometimes get a hot start issue. If I have been driving for around 30 minutes and the engine is thoroughly warmed up and then stop the engine it will not restart until the...

As usual, as winter turns to fall and temps drop, there's a lot of talk about diesels in the cold, especially if you are new to winter dieseling... So I thought a run down of my experiences with preheating methods might be helpful? This is borne out of 18 years of JDM diesel experience in temps...

As the nights get colder and colder, winter is definitely coming back. Any suggestions on spots to go camping in December-February where the temperature stays above ~20 at night and gets up to the high 50s (or more) consistently during the day? Doing Big Bend in March, and Mazatlan in April...

Hey y’all, with temps dropping and a small block Chevy that runs cool on the highway even on 90° days I’ve decided a grill cover would be a very good idea to invest in. So far though I have found absolutely nothing online for an 80 series, anyone know where to find one or good plans for making...

https://chilechallenge.org/ Since I'm spending the winter down here, going to meet the nice folks with the LCFWDC. 😁👍 signed up to run and cleanup volunteer. Gotta represent.

Because of the many helpful blogs and posts I found and studied before my trip, I wanted to chronical my 2023 winter drive to Fairbanks for any who might want to try it themselves. I felt every little bit of information helped so this is an attempt to give back a bit. I apologize for taking so...
