Hey friends. Sorry for the absence but I decided to go to Overland Expo West and had to go full steam ahead on my trailer build so we would have somewhere to sleep! A lot has happened and I have learned a lot with this build. I’m about 98% complete, and am now just working through a bunch of...

@reaver That is a great design. I am recording my measurements as I go, but it really is a design/build. I took inspiration from the Mammoth ELE trailer, some of the guys on here, you tube videos from SEMA and a few of my own original ideas. When Im done I will post a guide to hopefully inspire...

Not too much done this weekend, but technically its only my saturday...hehe. Got the holes cut for the entry doors, the wheel wells finished, and have almost finished the galley...

Building building building....

Looks like we need to reinvigorate SoCal meetups! I am about halfway through finishing my overlanding trailer and getting my truck set up. We should get something going for march/april timeframe?!

Question.....How has that 12000lb winch played out for you? I have a 2005 Silverado crew cab and have been trying to figure out if 12k is enough or should I go with an 18k lb winch.... the price point almost doubles between the two, and like everyone else on here I am on a budget....lol!

So I started something last week... In an effort to teach my 13 year old son some trade skills, and to spend some quality time with him, we have decided to build an overlanding trailer. It is also a way to accommodate my wife, who is a bit of a city gal and would prefer to go glamping lol...

I keep hearing a voice in my head chanting "mobile hunting blind...mobile hunting blind...mobile hunting blind..."

That sounds awesome! I have two kids, but they are adventurous, so I’m sure they would love it. I have military duty this weekend or I’d join ya!

Hi guys and gals! Tom from Hemet here. I’m an avid camper and I’m slowly getting the wife to relinquish funds to turn my 2005 Silverado 1500 into an overlanding truck! Everyone is excited, but I’m not exactly sure where to go during the winter. Any good suggestions out there? I’m looking forward...

New member out in Hemet! Looking forward to getting out there and having some fun!
