    Best state for overlanding?

    Winch powered by Starting or Auxiliary power? What do you recommend?

    Well the lo-tech solution is to put a battery on/off switch in line on your aux battery cables. Wrangler Power Products makes a kit.

    REI and Overlanding?

    No. I do not want politics of any kind. No matter what side you take, ~50% of your customers disagree with you. It is plain stupid to take political positions. In fact, politics I agree with is often worse, as places I might like suddenly get protested, etc.

    REI and Overlanding?

    REI was great years ago, now like many it is too political, they work against their own customers by supporting Sierra, and the Camelback thing was pure stupid. I still go to their store 1-2 month, but only to physically evaluate something I will go buy on-line elsewhere.

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I order my truck with factory dual battery and HiAmp Alternator. I agree, space is tight.
