    Overland Expo 2017 West FREE TIX

    Thanks Ryan. Not going to be able to make it after all. I got called in to work tomorrow. Oh well. Next year (now that I know this event exists), I'll get the time off for it. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Is the grass greener?

    Wow. This thread blew up over the last couple days. Thanks for all the great replies. A little about me: I was born and raised in California until I was 14 when I moved to Las Vegas to live with my dad and go to high school. Even at that point in my life I knew I didn't want to be in California...

    Overland Expo 2017 West FREE TIX

    Sorry to hear about your knee. It's looking like I'm going to be off the rest of the week. I probably wouldn't be able to attend more than Thursday night, Friday all day, and get out early Saturday morning, but I'm interested if no one else chimes in. How would I go about getting the tickets...

    Anti-spill tailgate mod.

    I had actually planned on doing the same thing with 1/4" ply, and finishing it so it would be more countertop like. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Let's see those rigs in action

    I've got a buddy that has one just like that. He's in Southern California though. He bought it from a guy in Devore. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    4Runner VS Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

    This^ I agree whole heartedly. I've always wanted a Wrangler, but for this reason only. Yes it's more modifiable as far as lift is concerned, and yes it can be turned into a rock crawler, however... after having ridden in one and owning a 4Runner, I will never own one. If you're not going for an...

    Yeah that's the only one I could come up with also, and I figured it was REI. I don't like that one as much. I'd rather have one that's more bucket like like yours is, than have one that's front load with a bunch of bins. Maybe I can find one used somewhere. Thanks for the reply. Sent from my...

    Toyota Tundra Registry

    I gotta say, when given the choice between our 4Runner and our Tundra as our overland vehicle, I was a bit skeptical to use the Tundra. However, I chose the Tundra because we are a family of five, and I didn't think we would ever have enough room for all our gear in the 4Runner. While it may not...

    DOES COUNTRY OF ORIGIN INFLUENCE YOUR PURCHASE

    I'd love to be able to say that I only buy American made, but alas, I can't. There's many factors that can and often do lead me away from some American made products. The primary factor being cost. If you can find a product that is being made abroad with the same quality craftsmanship, but for...

    Is the grass greener?

    The rain in Washington would be tough for me, because I'm a land surveyor. I'm sure most of the land surveyors in Washington work in the rain, but in Southern California the jobs get shut down for that day or two. That's not to say that I haven't worked in the rain, but when you have paperwork...

    Is the grass greener?

    Because I'm very new to overlanding, and have seen very little of our great county, I've come to you all for help. My wife and I have contemplated getting out of California for years now, but can't fully pin down one specific place that we would like to live. One week it's Tennessee, the next...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Got my OME lift installed and aligned. Got just under 3 inches of lift in the front, and an inch and a half in the rear with the rotted shackles. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    The Tortoise Build

    Ok. So finally after owning my rig for two years, I'm ready to start building it. I'll start by saying that my 2010 Tundra DC 4x4 with the TRD package wasn't my first choice for my overland vehicle, but with three kids in the back seat (one currently under a year old) and all the extra gear that...

    That would work too. What's good about that is you could really stuff it in there. I would probably use a little bit thicker hand towel though. Good thinkin @TerryD. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    She'll be fine off road. I started my second son out at about a month old. He just sat back there snoozin' away. It'll help if you have a head support as well. My wife makes and sells them (along with a bunch of other baby items) on Etsy if you're interested. Her shop name is SqueakyBugBabies...
