If you are looking in the $5k range, you won't get much in the Toyota and Land Rover world. Look for Chevrolets and Fords instead and you can probably find something that will do what you want. This was $2750 in pre COVID dollars with 300k miles on it so probably $5k in todays dollars. I...

The current SCAR version is 15. There is also a notification page for road closures and problems that are reported by riders: Route Notices | South Carolina Adventure Route (SCAR)

The website for the SCAR is here. Home | South Carolina Adventure Route (SCAR) The GPX file is here. You can download it in sections or the entire loop. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/03i93zmkw8dzyjk/AACBm8wxzAUlgc0q81v3y7Xba?dl=0 Also available is a separate file of POIs. It shows gas stops...

Truck slide for the bed. No one makes one for an H3T but the Gladiator version was close enough.

Truck slide installed. Nobody makes one for a H3T. One for a Jeep Gladiator was close enough.

Mostly warm starts. A hot start would usually sputter once or twice and run fine. If it sat for a few days it would usually crank normally. If you shut it down for 30 minutes to run in the grocery store it would fire on 3-4 cylinders until it cleared the extra fuel out of the intake. It started...

Change your injectors. My XJ did the same thing. It turned out it had an injector that was leaking raw fuel into the intake when the engine was off. I was at 260k miles so I replaced all of the injectors and that solved the problem.

This one is a little cheaty and more glamping than camping. It's about 40 minutes from home so no long trek was made. There wasn't a tent involved or even 4WD. I slept in a king-size bed in a 40' motorhome parked in a field. It was, however, very peaceful and relaxing. And the sunrise in the...

On my last trip into Canada, I used my T-Mobile phone with no issues. Coverage was very good and maintained 4G for 90% of the trip. There was no setup requirement nor an additional charge. If you have a T-Mobile phone, it's already included in your plan. Mexico is also covered.

That video is worse than useless. What broke? Why did it break? How can it be avoided in the future? 15 minutes tops. Anything more than that is therapy and should be discussed with your counselor.

I run Gaia on an 8" tablet for mapping. Downloading entire states is extremely easy, as is downloading routes and POIs. It has worked very well for the almost 10 years I've been using it. I also carry a Garmin 7" GPS and have OB1 on my phone for backup and additional information. For creating...

This is the best camping light I've ever owned. Need task lighting while cooking? Done. Directional lighting that sticks to your vehicle while changing a tire? It's perfect. Nightlight for your 5-year-old? Yep, it does that too. Batteries that last? 9 hours on high or 40 hours on low. It will...

This does not pack very small but it is extremely comfortable and worth the space needed to haul it. LOSTHORIZON 4.5” Thick Self Inflating Sleeping Pad

Falken Wildpeaks. I run them on my Suburban and my Silverado. Outstanding tires.

I'm 56 and have gotten tired of always working on things. Always sleeping on the ground and dealing with the dirt. Now the rig is towed behind a 40' DP motorhome. We frequently base camp and spend time exploring around us. If I'm going to get 9 mpg, I'm going to be comfortable when I get there...
