    Stand Alone Battery

    I do this when I go to music festivals. Just have a stand alone charged car battery, A 1000k watt inverter, with projector, laptop, cellphone, gopro all charging. Works great! It's just a spare battery I had lying around so I don't care about ruining it too much. I just bring it home and throw...

    Factory tow point or use hitch?

    I would say get a shackle kit for your hitch. They are about $60 and can take a good yank. The standard "screw in" tow ring is really only made for pulling the vehicle on flat ground, with freely moving wheels or winching it up onto a flat bed, might become a projectile if you try to yank/get...

    KO2 - can't plug slow leak?

    I hate to say it, but if you wheel, and they offer you some kind of tire protection plan, take it. I've already had Discount Tire (America's Tire) replace ALL 4 of my all terrain TA with brand new ones TWICE for free because of sidewall punctures. Normally I would say they aren't worth the...

    Inverter under the seat

    I wanted to hardwire my 1000 watt cobra power inverter under my seat, but I was concerned about water entering the cab during a water crossing. Of course I'm not going to be USING the inverter at a time when water has a possibility of entering the cab. I'm not that dumb....BUT I am not too...

    What got you into Overland?

    I remember being a kid and going on all kinds of shooting and fishing adventures with my dad in his 94 toyota pickup. We always had such an amazing time exploring back roads, reabing maps, and just enjoying the great outdoors. Then he got into a terrible car accident and totaled his back and his...

    Overland specific pricing

    I'm with this guy. There is a fine line between over priced and too cheap to bother. I have learned though that with a lot of things like tent, cooking supplies, cold/wet weather gear. (pnw guy here) you generally get what you pay for. I've used cheap stuff and I can attest that there are just...

    All the gear no idea.

    I had a boss once who pined over my fully expidition equipped 4runner. He had an AMG g-wagon and would constantly tell me it's clearances and forging depths and what not. One day he asked me if I knew anywhere he could use his g string I mean g wagon without any getting it dirty or risking...

    When / why did off road tires get to be so beefy?

    35s for overlanding. No. I go with a 265-75/16 bfg all terrain. I do probably about 60/40 highway/offroad. This keeps fuel consumption down, wear and tear down, and gets me through just about a very thing I've encountered off road. Sent from my SM-N910V using OB Talk mobile app

    Washboard/rough gravel

    Air down and speed. But trying to make a quick stop on a washboard road at speed is quite the interesting situation. Do so with caution. Sent from my SM-N910V using OB Talk mobile app

    What Camp Saw Do You Use? (Non-powered hand saws)

    RTT Dumb question Alert...

    I've been in hellish winds that felt like a bull was ramming into the side of my rig. My CVT Mt Shasta extended series with annex held up amazing even with the window flaps open. It's like being in a fortress, it does make noise but I am still able to cook and sleep. Sent from my SM-N910V using...
