I can't wait till OB gets more Russian enthusiasts. I've seen some amazing trucks out of there. It's like the wild west for their toys.

Back when I was a cool kid I used to test Tactical gear, guns, flashlights, vests, suppressors and other nfa goodies. I'm not an expert but I've spent thousands on dim surefires and streamlights and many many 4sevens and fenix lights. They're all good these days. It's really all a matter of...

I don't care if it's built or bought so long as it's used how they want to use it. It's not my money, my choice or my business. I have no opinions on what anyone drives for Overlanding or off roading. If they want to do it with a beater or with a Gold mine, it's their business. I have no...

Anyone from the Virginia eastern Coast or N.C. OBX? I'm in Williamsburg, Virginia and Overlanding here is slim pickens.

A leveling kit will stop tire rub to the fender at lock but not the rubbing on the control arm. For that you'll either need Hub spacers or wheels with a different back spacing. Hub spacers will be cheaper but I'll always believe they're dangerous no matter how popular they are. They also...

That's awesome! I haven't seen any yet but hopefully soon.

My minds telling me No, but my body, my body... :0) I thought for sure I had seen that thread but then the New thread button was pushed. I blame peer pressure and a poor upbringing. Forgive me. :)

That looks like a great trip. I'm in Williamsburg and I always have to drive for hours just to get to some place nice.

I"ve been using POR15 for 15 or 20 years now. It's the best but remember you'll still need to paint over it or it'll fade and wear down. Wear a painters suit and lay down painters plastic. Once it gets on your clothes, skin or concrete you'll be pretty much screwed.

I was stationed there for 5 years, lol. Strangest duty station ever.

I high centered a Hmmwv at NTC and it required everyone standing on hood to tip it over the edge and get traction.

Double cheese perfection by Sal's Ristorante Italiano, Daddies on Surround and an Hk on my Hip. Swingin man.

Welcome to Overland Bound! Love the Jeep. Lots of potential.

I like knowing famous people. :0)

They make a vault for the Expedition console the year later than the one I have in my truck. (Missed it by that much 99. lol) For now I have a holster mounted in the console for when I'm dressed like a penguin but no safe. It's actually sad I've went this long without getting a safe but I...

This is also my first truck after a long line of Muscle and Race cars so I do still have that Hp itch. I know it's sometimes counter productive to want a lot more hp/tq with the needs of endurance travel overlanding but with the 4v and the lightning engines both being proven ford systems, I...

More Powa! lol The stock engine has 260 hp @ 4,500 rpm & 350 lb-ft @ 2,500 rpm (flywheel) which is fine for lugging around the truck on the trails but it's in dire need when hauling a trailer through the mountains. Even with 4.56 gears it's still not enough power. There's about 100k on this...

There's not much going on right now. I took the "winter mode" tonneau cover back off permanently. It seemed like it was getting in the way more than it helped. I ordered those flares in the last picture and everything for my E-Fan conversion. I still haven't installed the hood vent since...

I forgot about RockAuto. I've ordered tons of stuff from there. My Expedition calipers are from RA. Next to Amazon, their the second place I look for genuine Ford parts. Advance uses BWD sensors so that's where I try to order that stuff from. The radio is an AVIC 5000nex. It does...

I get parts from wherever I can find the cheapest price, easiest service or the best warranty. Ford things like Alternators and starters I go with Advance or Autozone. There's almost always one within driving distance to swap them out if I need one in a hurry. So far I haven't had to swap...
