  • 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.

    Rodents vs. Wiring

    Geese!? Dang! I know squirrels will chew aluminum and anything else softer than a rock. I have heard of marmots will chew stuff but never been around marmots. Rodents chew. Also, raccoons and opossums reported to cause problems but I 've never seen them mess with a vehicle...unless it...

    Rodents vs. Wiring

    Anyone have issues when parked for several days? Apparently the soy-based insulation can be attractive to mice, rats, and other rodents. On another forum I saw some suggestions of deploying moth balls as a deterrent and Honda has a rodent wrap wiring tape that is a bit expensive. Just...

    You might want to look on tacomaworld.com and see what ideas they have. It's quite amazing some of the ingenious stuff those guys come up with.

    The "in the shop" feeling

    Put mine in today for some long awaited upgrades to the suspension and adding a nicer roof rack and some scene lights. I've got other vehicles to drive so no anxiety there. I'm glad I waited and found the right guy. We may end up collaborating on some other stuff in the future. Trying to get...

    Stolen Overland Vehicle

    I would be interested to know what type settings people are having theft and other similar problems while out recreating. I generally feel more secure the further I am from crowded areas. I mean the odds go down at least.

    Weathering The Storm

    Agreed. Some things can be planned to avoid problems. Some things like roads and bridges washing out, dam failures, wastewater plants/mains under water, teaching people not to drive through unknown water, etc. it gets problematic. Then, there is the inevitable after affects like mold...

    Weathering The Storm

    Yes, we are due for an earthquake around here. We had a big one (approx. 7.1) back in 1886 that would be devastating with today's population and infrastructure. https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1986/0985/report.pdf Ha, before I retired I had them planning for tsunamis and EMPs. They were probably...

    Weathering The Storm

    At least 90 days of coffee! Toothpaste, TP, soap, shampoo, artichoke relish, batteries, rice, beans, salt, razors, cereal, powdered milk, Clorox, charcoal, firewood, Coleman fuel, motor oil and filters, all closer to a years worth. Then there are things like generator, solar panels, travel...

    US Southeast 3rd Annual Keowee-Toxaway Camping Trip

    When the National Guard surrounds you please tell them that you are protesting the "limited resources being made available to amuricans to enjoy the out of doors" and "improvements MUST be implemented immediately". Please make it serious for the cameras. I think this could turn into a...

    What not to do with a brand new 4Runner

    In the background of the picture it looks kind of like it could be a dam, of sorts. Could be an old livestock pond and the silt is ass deep and water table is just under the surface if it is. Measure twice, cut onest.

    Question for long haulers

    Hey, checks in the mail! Check your messages. I'm just starting to research the vans but had not heard about the Sprinter troubles.

    Question for long haulers

    Yes, I see the Dodge is a little wider and that has some appeal since I liked your idea of putting the bed across the front (I'm 5'9") to have more storage in the rear. I don't think I need all the kitchen sink and shower/bathroom stuff...some sort of composting toilet for sure. (I just got...

    What not to do with a brand new 4Runner

    I learned a long time ago that four wheel drive is best used to back out of a situation when the front tires start pushing mud. Axe me how I know! Several years checking cotton in the S.C. Low Country will give you some perspective of mud, sand, wet clay, ditches with sharp cut saplings...

    Question for long haulers

    Wow, that is efficient! I already have various weight pants, shirts, and under layers from my fishing escapades. Some good technical sweaters and jackets for altitude and rain. Just ordered some bamboo and spandex drawers because cotton doesn't cut it in the field. These bamboo fiber...

    Question for long haulers

    Thanks Road. A lot to ponder. And, I will. Some I already knew. Some is new. Great info. Your experience, once again, is invaluable! My biggest problem is space. You got me looking at vans now! Just need to sell my boat.

    Question for long haulers

    I am trying to avoid laundromats as much as possible. I haven't been to one in over forty years and hope to not break that streak but I'll do what I have to:worried:. I'd rather wash in a bucket! I guess if I change underwear every week or two...they're overrated anyway. Need to look for a...
