Hello fellow OB members, I just recently moved to St Louis (West County) from California. I've done a fair share of exploring in the Sierra Nevadas and now I'm looking forward to exploring the Ozarks and beyond. I drive an 80 Series LC, mostly stock. Hope to see you all on the trail or at a...

Please put me down for this trip.

We will be heading there in early May, I'll be happy to let you know what I find out. Once you know your dates I would get the permit. We had no problem getting ours but I hear certain dates can fill up fast. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

One comment that may (or may not) be helpful. I've found that 1996-2003 vehicles (give or take a few years depending on the make) are a bit of a sweet spot for overland builds. Vehicles made before that range usually are very capable but do not feature many of the comforts that are appreciated...

We use a Coleman Easy Up tent which was given to us. When it's in use we really like it. Not too difficult to setup as the name suggests. Lots of room to stand. The big downside to this as opposed to a more expensive tent like the REI Kingdom Dome is the packed size. We have the "10 person"...

We had the same sticker on our XC90, same peeling issue. I replaced it with one I received in late summer 2016 and so far I've had no problems with the replacement. Our XC90 is not in the brush too often but the sticker has been exposed to plenty of sun, rain and snow.

Little Buddy Mr Buddy Big Buddy All of them are great options. If your going with the big one definitely invest in a tank instead of the 1lb bottles. Really just comes down to how much space you have to pack and how much sqft you want to heat.

Thanks for sharing!

Guess who is getting an Overland Bound T-Shirt for Christmas! Also @Michael is there a good way to gift an OB membership or should I just give them a check and tell em to go sign up on their own?

Came across this while looking into some imports. Seems like a neat little van. https://www.japaneseclassics.com/vehicle/1989-mitsubishi-delica/

My family and I have some great memories from this trip and we are so glad we were able to meet many OB members. Many many years ago my parents bought me the book "4-Wheel Freedom" by DeLong. I was 14 at the time and I read it cover to cover countless times before I ever even had a drivers...

Same thing happening with me on the white stickers. The yellow one (put on at same time) is doing fine. Also no need to mail, just wanted to let y'all know it seems it isn't isolated to maktruk

Will this be a family friendly event? If yes, put me down for 1 rig!

88 to 89 through Makrleville to 395. Longer drive mileage wise but 88 is a much quicker drive so time wise it probably isn't too much worse.
