    Real word opinions of 270 degree awnigs

    I have a Rhino Rack Batwing 270. As far as shade I think it is great with maybe the low sun angle, however you can drop the legs some to get an incline. My biggest issue is how frelling flimsy the hinges are! I had 2 break when first opening it in the desert and it wasn't even windy. I have made...

    Any Tips, Tricks or Cautions for Vertically Mounting ROAM/Pelican/etc. Cases?

    I have a motorcycle with 2 Pelican 1550's bolted to a frame. Large washers. They have been on there since 2008 and I have loaded them up and taken several tours and used them for commuting and grocery shopping(each case can hold 2 full bags). If the recovery gear is soft, ropes and straps and...

    Choose my engine - Disco 1

    Personally I lean towards pre-computer gear, something I can fix in the boonies without needing a 'puter. Land Rover 300TDI matched to the aforementioned R380. I'd say 200TDI but they don't make new heads for them. So supply is limited.

    Are Canvas Tents Suitable for Overlanding?

    I have to add that the one drawback for my OZ tent is packed size and weight. The length, 80" = 6'.6"= 2032mm means you probably are going to keep it outside the vehicle. If you do like I do it is up on the roof rack and my Land Rover is kinda tall at 82"= 6'.8" = 2082.8mm to the rack. So you...

    Moore Overlanding and Off-Road Expo 2024

    Can some one tell me why they charge so much for camping? I mean I bring my "hotel room" with me and don't need electricity, food, just a small plot of land to park on. For $150 for 3 nights?

    Opinions wanted on practicality of towing a trailer.

    My feelings and I know I'll get flack for this, is you bought the wrong vehicle, as much as I like the new Bronco's they don't lend themselves to family camping trips. Unless you go with minimal gear like backpacking tents(yes 2, 1 for the parents, 1 for the kids) , sleeping pads, backpacking...

    Land Rover Defender Setup’s

    Did ORE go under? I can't access their website and Trek Overland no longer lists their parts. BG4x4 lists parts for nonLR vehicles. Maybe a web glitch?

    Land Rover Defender Setup’s

    So.........just Defenders? Which model, old or new? I have a 1960 Series 2 109 regular. I dislike the new Defender, it looks like all the other modern 4x4 SUV's. I bought my first Series in 1973.
