Good seeing you too @WhatTheZo ! You're the first OB member I've spotted on the road. (I guess my license plate makes it easy to figure out who I am. :grinning: I was going to ask you (but then my lane took off), is your awning locked to your roof rack? If so, why?

Last thing I bought was new head gaskets, water pump, radiator, etc. Not planned. Next thing I plan to buy: Nothing until my bank account recovers.

Sure is purdy.

Thanks for the info. I prefer using my Android tablet because it has built in GPS, but I'm kind of lagging with the old version and the new looks really promising.

Any idea when the Android version will be out?

T4R actually does, or at least the SoCal sub-forum has a stickied classifieds: LINK (for informational purposes). I've found it to be very helpful (bought an awning last Friday!), but I understand the decision not to do this. It is VERY helpful in for sale ads to have the title list the...

I'm starting to think we should set up a Clairemont chapter! :tearsofjoy:

I just installed the Gaia app to try it this weekend. Didn't work out well. I need to take the time to learn how it works and how to download maps ahead of time. I thought I had downloaded the right map, but was wrong. Good thing I had my Montana too. Did you use a tutorial to learn how...

I've definitely enjoyed their videos. You can tell that Clay is a professional videographer as the quality of their videos is generally higher than most of the other channels. Sometimes they take themselves a little too seriously for my tastes, but I have to admit I probably would too if I...

I think this is a REALLY good point. Education can be more important than gear for sure. I haven't had any formal off-road driving training, but have always gone with guys that have a ton of experience and are willing to share it. I've done 3 or 4 wilderness First Aid classes and found that...

We don't get the Amarok here in the US. Is it basically a Touareg with a pick up bed? Welcome aboard!

Nice! Verizon just gave me a free tablet for upgrading my daughter's phone and I'm thinking about using that for maps, etc. Now I have a good way to mount it too.

I hadn't thought about the 3 am "break." I know quite a few guys who, even in ground tents, just have a pee bottle so they don't actually have to leave their tent at all. I guess as long as the tent is tall enough to kneel in . . .

I'm in the same boat as the OP. My rig is also my daily driver and I put a lot of miles on it for work. I understand that having an RTT on top of my rig will have big impact on gas mileage. So, my question is: How hard is it to remove/install an RTT? i.e. could I leave it in the garage and...

I like the idea of a regional for sale thread. You don't have to break up the classifieds section, just have a For Sale thread in the regional area. Most of the items we buy/sell are bigger than your average person wants to deal with shipping. Things like skid plates, awnings, RTT's etc. are...

After enjoying your 4th Gen build, I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with this one.

Looking good! Looks like we've been on a few of the same trails out in Anza.

I'd be interested in meeting more local people.

That's great!

Mine's a 4th Gen, but that's essentially what I do. I've done two trips thus far (3 days and 5 days) where I've gone somewhere with my motorcycle and I just sleep in the back. After the first trip, I decided to remove the back seat bottoms (two bolts each) to give myself some more headroom...
