    Insurance options

    Who said Geico won't cover it? I took a 2016 Camry off-road (long story). I ended up denting the oil pan and bending the oil pick-up line. Plus extensive body damage. I was out in the boonies of Arizona with no cell service and no traffic. I had no choice but drive it to the nearest town with...

    Let’s be honest; Roof Top Tent- Yay or Nay?

    I've camped out in probably every scenario. From a blanket beside the fire to a 36' travel trailer. My current setup is a Toyota Tacoma short bed with RTT. It's better and more convenient than a ground tent but if I had it to do over, I would have bought a Toyota 4 Runner and converted to a...

    Any black powder shooters amongst us?

    From what I've read there's not really much to worry about with these guns. The black powder or equivalents don't have the pressure that modern smokeless powders do. Even if you have more than one chamber go off it doesn't hurt anything. As long as you're holding it right. The soft lead balls...

    When Your Daily Driver is Your Overland Rig

    My rig is my DD but I have it easier than most. 1. I'm retired so don't have to worry about getting to work if I break something. I could be gone for a month before anyone noticed. 2. I live in NM where we have nothing BUT wide open spaces. It's never a problem getting around. I do get a lot...

    C4 Fabrications

    Blind Spot Monitor - It makes a light go on in your side mirrors if someone is in your blind spot. It's a hassle for steel bumpers because it won't work through steel.

    C4 Fabrications

    I have a C4 rear bumper. They've discontinued this model because the BSM was causing problems. I drove 40 years without BSM so I didn't care. The quality and overall build is top of the line. No complaints at all.

    Member Rides

    Nice Rubicon. Those pictures remind me of when I was driving for CFI many moons ago. Which actually stood for "Contract Freighters Inc." But our Canadian counterparts said it stood for "Canadian Freight Interceptors". I'm sorry guys. I just went where I was sent. But for a few years I was stuck...

    OB Approved Camping with Firearms

    “Listen, Bob. A gun is just a tool. No better and no worse than any other tool. A shovel or an axe or a saddle or a stove or anything. Think of it always that way. A gun is as good, and as bad as the man who carries it. Remember that.” - Shane One of my all-time favorite movie quotes that...

    DIY Switch panel

    Looks great to me. It would be nice if the switches were labeled some way but if nobody else drives it and you know which does what then that works.

    New Mexico Overlanders

    No I'm not going this year. Hopefully next year. I want the full $350 package when I go and they sold out before I remembered.

    GoPro

    My Tacoma has a windshield GoPro mount from the factory. And I have a GoPro. I've never mounted it there. I don't know why. Something to contemplate on I guess. I have duct taped it underneath the truck and bluetoothed to my ipad because I was in some serious rocks without a spotter.

    This is true. I love the smell of crude oil in the morning. :tonguewink:
