    Big Rigs, Full Sized Only

    What roof rack is that? My 250 doesn't have roof rails, just the flat plastic (rubber) strips that run down both sides. Was wondering how to attach a roof rack and which rack to go with as it seems most of the ones I am finding, have a hook system that clamps over the rain lip (which mine does...

    Been away for a lil while, cuz we were out enjoying the wilderness! Been on a few small trips. Hoosier NF, and then up north just south of Traverse City along the Manistee River. Things are well with everything that has been done. Every trip, I find something else to add that will be useful...

    Suspension options

    That's how I would do it as well. Personally, I would try to use a heavy wall 2x2, just to make sure it's as strong as can be. But, I'm also all about "using what I have on hand". Looking forward to seeing the finished product! Rick

    Battery banks?

    Great post! I'll be watching this one as I am having a system designed right now. I had a friend of mine do a quick setup for me (to see what I would need to buy), and he came back with 400 amp hours would run my equipment for I think it was 4 days without a recharge. I am now having another...

    US Midwest Spring Ride Between the Lakes

    I would really like to attend this as well. However, this damn thing everyone is calling "life" keeps getting in my way. Still have some things left to do on the rig before the inaugural voyage, and my copilot (the wife) is having surgery tomorrow, so.....hopefully I'll catch you on the next...

    The Last Trip?

    Alaska, I would not plan for the 10 days. Instead I would go and go till I dropped.

    Thanks. Your correct gas engine. I contemplated getting the diesel when I ordered it, glad I didnt, with diesel these days! Now that i am going to be overlanding I'm glad I went with gas, since I feel diesel might be hard to find in some of the remote places.

    Is the Overlanding community killing itself

    I completely agree with you. However, all of the Utubers I watch say "if it works for you, then use it". I am by no means wealthy, but I do see the value on some of the "luxury" gear that is out there. In my opinion, a lot of the fun that I have, comes from seeing the high end gear, and...

    Started on my build and learning as I go!

    What type of black box do you have mounted there, closer to the rear of the rack? The build looks like a great start! Thanks, Rick

    Found some photos of the hitch "table" that I fabricated, and mentioned in my original post.
