  • 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.

    I got the Mini. Size is great, brightness is not. It's hard to see. I made a mount for my 4Runner. Heres how:

    My Tool Storage Setup, What's Yours?

    Great setup! I have my tools, recovery gear and compressor in a Case Cruzer I mounted to the roof of my 4Runner. Not quite so handy as yours, but I don't think I need such easy access to my tools as you have made. Here's my setup:

    Open Differentials vs. Traction Control vs. Lockers

    On a recent group trip we came across a perfect natural experiment to see how OPEN DIFFERENTIALS, LOCKERS, and TRACTION CONTROL handle the same obstacle. I got video of it all and you can see that below. Here are my thoughts on what we saw: How A Differential Works Here's the best video I've...

    2012 Power Wagon Build w Smart Bar Mods

    I think we can all agree that the Ram Power Wagon is the best looking production 4x4 truck on the market today. No? Ok, well then. Can we at least all agree that with a factory lift, front and rear lockers, disconnecting sway bars and burly skid plates and guards and a 12,000 pound Warn...

    A fun family day trip from Reno with 13 rigs

    Ouradventure begins on the edge of Winnemucca Dry Lake in Pershing County, Nevada. First thing was to air down the tires for the day on the dirt. This isn’t strictly necessary for this route, but it does make the going a little smoother. We had a diverse range of vehicles in the caravan from...

    Krazy Beaver Super Shovel

    I keep mine covered, so it's holding up fine. That said, I haven't used it for anything. -M

    Simply Drawerless Drawer System with Slide-Out table from 1 sheet of Plywood

    Good idea. I thought about doing that, and may in future builds. It'll require some kind of structure in the center to hold them up. -M

    Off-line Tablet

    Yes Gaia. Honestly, the built in GPS in iPhones has been more than good enough for my needs. I use an iPad Mini4 running Gaia GPS. Even my old iPhone 6 was more than accurate enough to guide us down the Mojave Road.

    DIY Overlanding Pickup Truck Bed Rack for our Ford F-150

    I’m not going to go into the WHY of a bed rack like this. I think it’s a concept that isn’t super obvious since you can’t really carry lumber or big ladders on it. If you get it, awesome. There are a lot of off-the-shelf options to make a bed rack like this. The best designs I’ve seen are low...

    Power Wagon on Snake Lake Trail, Tahoe National Forest

    I'm going to be better about not sneaking off and doing stuff without telling anyone. I'll post stuff to our instagram and YouTube when we do planned group runs in the future.

    Power Wagon on Snake Lake Trail, Tahoe National Forest

    It’s a tense moment piloting a full size truck down a technical jeep trail. Each wheel placement critical, springs squeaking, rocks grinding under the tires, metal bits hanging low under the truck rasping over boulders in the trail telegraphing either minor scuffing or potentially catastrophic...

    Major Metal Failure in the Aerotow

    So if anyone is following my Aerotow trailer project, I noticed that there was a MAJOR failure where the tongue assembly bolts to the structure of the trailer. It's all in the video, and the photos below. If you have an Aerotow, give it a check and think about reinforcing it a bit. I think...

    4 Wheeling with my Off-Road Aerotow Trailer

    I suppose it doesn't look that Gnarly, but it was rough and steep enough for 4-low, especially pulling the trailer. This was the first real test of the trailer with the new axle and wheel/tire. Tires are down to 15 psi and I might pull a leaf out of the springs to soften them up a bit...
