    Sleep in Vs. Sleep on trailers??

    We use a Sleep on trailer right now. A GoFSR Overlander. We have tried a few different Roof Top Tents and right now are using the GoFSR M60 tent and are very happy. For us we often camp as a family of 4 and are active so the gear hauling was the main reason to switch to a trailer.

    Mountain biking

    Excellent areas to ride. Lots of options. I head down that way at least twice a year. 18Hours from here to Moab, but always worth the drive.

    Mountain biking

    My biggest problem with Bike Packing is the time. My kids are not at the age where they would enjoy it, and my wife will not either. If I have enough time off to go anywhere interesting, I prefer to take the family in the rig, that way we get to do some family time. As the kids get older I hope...

    I am toying with the idea of the Titan swap, maybe this Feb I will do that.

    Frontier and Navara Peeps

    I went with Medium duty front and rear. My front bumper and short drum winch weighs less together then an ARB front bumper. On the rear the medium duty handle loads really well, I have thought about adding the HD helper spring, but rarely do I squat when loaded up for camping. Sometimes with 2/3...

    BCBrian's 2015 Nissan Xterra PRO4X

    Your build is looking good. I don't remember having those leaf spring washers on my old man emus. I will have to check that out tomorrow. I am also struggling and debating the height issues on this platform. I think I want taller then OME but don't want to go full titan. 1 inch spacers might be...

    Overland Trailers - Too Destination Restrictive?

    I have taken our trailer through a lot of the trails in Escalante. Loved that area. I agree with practice backing up thing. Practice lots and only use your mirrors, eventually it becomes second nature. Ironically I came across MOAK's video two weeks ago. We have been talking about camping our...

    Smittybilt Scout Redesign Coming 2019

    When these trailers came out, we looked at them. We ended up going with a GoFSR overlander. We love it. Our decision was based on the fact that other then the air compressor any smitty product we bought failed quickly, and the doors all seemed to open the wrong way for us. The only issue we have...
