  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Local trails (first real test of the locker)

    Got bored this morning, so decided to finally try a real test on the new locker. Just some local trails behind neighborhoods. Not a lot to see a few fishing ponds along the way. Nothing crazy compared to what some of you guy/gals go through but i was really impressed by how much the...

    Who Planted the seed for you to be an OverLander (Pic/stories)

    Definitely my Grandfather. Not in the traditional over landing sense, but mountains trips in the Old Oldsmobile, fishing trips etc. He loved it. Really got me hooked on outdoors which led me here. He was a great role model and business man, spent 3yrs in Indonesia, retired early, and was a...

    WJ TrailRunner (Building a Capable 2WD Overlander)

    Sanded and Scuffed up the Bumpers, the front was actually from a color match limited black, and had a gloss finish so took a little more than the rear. Same process as before, rolled, touched up, then rolled heavy to get texture. Need to hide those power cables for winch better, and still...

    Bugs

    I have a Thermacell like the brown one in this pic (very similar model) and it works great. It only seems to cover a small area but, I use it in duck/deer blinds, or while camping and there's a hug difference. Sent from my SM-S920L using Overland Bound Talk mobile app

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    Really like the build, and the Wagon. Looks great. :smiley: I've seen those Subaru guys go some amazing places. I see them out on the beach all the time, not sure how the Volvos AWD compares.

    Tire Size

    Between the size your talking about there's only like an 1" difference right? At least on a 16"rim it would be going from 31.1" to 32.3". If this is right your only gonna gain 1/2 of an inch. I haven't done any true clearance measurements yet, or approach/departure angles. I need to. But I...

    WJ TrailRunner (Building a Capable 2WD Overlander)

    Got to test the Winch out today. It finally stopped raining, so I hit a few trails near the house, not many pics, not a lot to see there. On the way out I mistakenly cut across the muddy ruts and had to put the winch to use. Normally I wouldn't have cut across them but with the new locker I...

    WJ TrailRunner (Building a Capable 2WD Overlander)

    Thanks man, i'm still finishing up the first phase of making it a little more capable with locker, recovery, armor etc. Then the fun stuff begins. I got some ideas for rear storage, and i'm seriously debating a roof top tent.
