  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    How are you hauling your Gazelle T4 tent?

    I think you'll be okay. I use a large screwdriver through the loop of each rokstrap to yank the crap out of it.

    How are you hauling your Gazelle T4 tent?

    No issues. It's kind of sandwiched between the bracket that holds my 3rd brake light on the top front of my spare tire and the 4 gallon rotopax on the rear of my spare tire. And I use Rokstraps to really cinch it down. It's very stable.

    How Overlanders are Ruining Overlanding

    While I think arresting and incarcerated people for being influencers is a stretch, I agree that what they do contributes to many problems. There was a lightly used trial to a ghost town that we liked to visit every summer. Last summer, a popular youtube overlander posted a video of a trip to...

    Headed to Big Bend NP.

    You can find places to primitive camp on Hipcamp. There are several between the two parks around Terlingua, Lajitas, Study Butte. The one I'm thinking of is called Croesus Canyon. And there are some bubbles on the mountainside behind it. I don't think bubbles belong to the Croesus Canyon...

    Which Viair

    I installed the Viair constant duty kit on my Jeep several years ago. I love compressor, relay/switch, and tank. But I've, replaced everything else. I replaced all of the hose with stainless steel braided hose. I put one quick connect on the rear of the Jeep and one on the front. I run 33's...

    How are you hauling your Gazelle T4 tent?

    This is a T3 and rides on top of the spare tire, on the rear of my TJ.

    Trasharoo alternative

    X2 on the G.A.R.B from NBX. You adjust the straps once and the bag stays. No sagging or slipping no matter how many times you put it on or take it off. And it's so well made. More expensive but the design and quality are top notch.

    Rockpals power stations

    I returned a Rockpals 500 after finding that the 12 volt car charger port was not regulated despite what was advertised at the time. Maybe I had a defective unit, but I can't have a power station that randomly shuts off while I'm relying on it to power my fridge. Spoiled food in the...

    Jackery vs Yeti

    I run a Jackery 500. The 12 volt port is regulated (addressing an earlier concern). I use it to power a fridge and it does very well. One thing that I haven't seen mentioned is that the Jackery has a molded fixed handle on top. This means you can't stack it or put anything on top of it...

    What’s the best rear tire carrier rack for the buck?

    Take a look at Dirtworx. Very well made and reasonably priced. And Robert will will work with you if you want something a little different. They are shipped in bare metal and you finish it.
