    Overland Bound Emblems!

    I've seen that, it does look good there. I may try to do a grill mount up front first though, the grill emblems always attracted me. I'll post pics once it's done.

    Jeep lift for overland build??

    Have you considered coilovers? May be cost prohibitive but they're infinitely adjustable. Just a thought.

    Overland Bound Emblems!

    Showed up today, packaging blew me away.. this is really nice. I may have to gift a membership to my brother. Still mulling over placement ideas.

    Jeep lift for overland build??

    I'll second what others say and ask what problems you've had with the AEV kit? Assuming suspension and steering geometry are ok, from your description it sounds like loss of carrying capacity could be an issue? Regardless you want coils matched to the loads you carry. I'd reccomend estimating...

    Trail sanitation

    Oh jeeze.. I'd call him out on that one. I typically keep baby wipes in my door map pocket just because they come in handy. For general camp sanitation brother brings one of these washing stations, it's essentially a cheaper version of the Partner Steel Wishy Washy...

    Trail sanitation

    Ever since we picked up a portable toilet and WAG bags we haven't not brought it on a trip, it's just so much nicer of an experience. Before then yes, hiked pretty far from camp to find a quiet area, definitely away from any water source. Baby wipes for general cleanliness are a standard...

    making toast

    I don't eat much bread but Ive always seen those folding ones in the green box at outfitters. I ran a google search and came up with this, looks pretty slick if toast is a big part of your diet:

    Jeep Wrangler Death Wobble

    So I had a big long response written out and decided to chop it because I think a lot of it has been stated elsewhere online. Long story short I've had an unfortunate amount of experience chasing death wobble down on several vehicles. The key takeaway's I can recommend are to check alignment and...

    Which RTT to buy???

    I'm not sure what your setup is, but just as an FYI my friend runs his Tepui on the factory rails of his gx. Not the crossbars, but the rails running lengthwise. It works fine in a pinch if you've got a trip planned.

    Lets Talk Cameras

    Cool. I knew Sigma had one, haven't checked out Tamron in awhile but I'll take a look. I think I saw something about a wide angle zoom they're having luck with.

    Lets Talk Cameras

    Sounds like a great setup, which 150-600mm are you using? I've got an older Sigma 150mm macro which has been fantastic but I'm looking for a little more reach and zoom function would be nice.

    The Search for the BEST Overland Camp Chair

    Like many of us I've tried a number of different chairs, I always end up coming back around to the cloth and metal tube folding type camp chairs. I've tested some of the other designs and just never got comfortable in them. My standard chair bit the dust two or three years ago and I spent...

    Which RTT to buy???

    The t In my experience the tent platform itself is rock solid, it's only going to move if your vehicle is moving. I suppose on smaller rigs that could be an issue but it hasn't been on a Tacoma with factory suspension or lifted 4Runners or a gx470. The fold-out section that overhangs (part...

    Coffee Set Ups

    Yea just a small saucepan. I'm sure it's not quite a perfect replication but I think it told me enough. That Petromax looks legitimate!

    Coffee Set Ups

    I already did haha. I boiled about 25 fl oz of water and added 1.5 tablespoons of coffee grounds. Boiled two minutes, let it settle two minutes, and used dribbled some cold water over the top which did a remarkable job of settling the grounds. It was a very smooth cup of coffee, the mouthfeel...

    Coffee Set Ups

    We could probably replicate it on the stovetop. In fact, that may be happening shortly.

    Rig Photos

    Not mine, spotted this morning by my father outside Todos Santos, Baja California Sur. It's got an interesting patina, I can't tell if it's forced or if the owner got stuck pulling up the rear of a caravan one too many times. Every rover is different that's for sure, great to see them out there.
