    GAIA and apple car play

    If memory serves me from looking through the Gaia forums... Gaia does not currently support CarPlay. But it is a pretty heavily requested feature.

    Tires - Road Comfort vs Trail Performance

    Tire question for those of you who's overlanding vehicle is also your daily driver... Would you say your tires tend more towards providing you with comfort on the road/highway or are they geared more towards performance on the trail? Beginning the search for my next set and I'm interested in...

    4Runner Gobi Stealth Rack and Roof Top Tent

    Welcome to the forum from West Texas. Good looking rig! I have a Gobi rack ordered for my 3rd gen and hope to see it by the end of the summer. :-) I look forward to hearing if it is reasonably possible for you to mount the Alu Cab to the Gobi.

    Seat Covers

    Looking for seat cover options for my 1998 Toyota 4Runner. My seats are in good shape for being 20+ years old, but I am noticing the "wear marks" more and more every day. Plus, I'd like to offer a little protection, especially to the back seat, when my adventure partner (Labrador Retriever)...

    $6k Budget - Land Rover Disco 2 vs Land Cruiser 100 Series or other options

    Looks like a very well thought out post. I would venture to guess that maintenance and repair costs on the LR would be significantly higher. I'm sure others here could chime in on that.

    FireDisc Grill

    Has anyone had any experience with a FireDisc Grill? It looks to be a slightly more expensive version of a Tembo Tusk. It does have a little bit of a side wall to help keep food in and it does seem to come in at least a couple of different sizes. Other than that, I'm not sure of the...

    Hello from west TX

    And now, because of Lubbock's growth, where you grew up is probably "in town". :-)

    Hello from west TX

    Hahaha. I lived there for a few years myself. Always ask if people are from there or from one of the outlying communities.

    What is your favorite general purpose knot for overlanding?

    I find myself using a trucker's hitch most often followed by the Prusik knot.

    Gas Lantern or Battery powered Lantern?

    I love the "hiss" of my Coleman but not the mess I seem to always create when I use it. I also have some LEDs that I run off a Goal Zero Yeti and seem to be much better for my "old" eyes.

    5th Gen 4Runner passenger airbag shutoff?

    Hahahahahaha.

    Hello from Austin!

    Welcome to the forum from West Texas and congrats on the rig. Head out to Big Bend NP/Big Bend Ranch SP for a little more "hardcore" overlanding, as compared to the Hill Country. And check out fellow forum member @Laud's epic trip around the state for an over the top Texas overlanding...

    5th Gen 4Runner passenger airbag shutoff?

    I thought it was against the "Man Rules" to read the directions. ;-) Would be a good place to start though.

    Looking for a way to heat up the tent with out propane, or electricity

    Clay pot and tea light candle. https://www.skilledsurvival.com/clay-pot-candle-heater/ It's interesting, but I'm not sure how practical it would be to travel with a clay pot.

    5th Gen 4Runner passenger airbag shutoff?

    I would be surprised if there is a way to shut it off. Seems like a liability issue that Toyota wouldn't want to incur.
