    Keychain version of the overland bound coins.

    Unfortunately it doesn't appear to raise much interest.

    How about a thread to post pictures of anything surprising or unexpected we found on a trip.

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    I don't think overlanding has become elitist but I do think some overlanders are elitists and think they are better overlanders than those with less capable rigs that do not have all that "cool" expensive stuff. I also think many gear manufacturers try to make it elitist so they can keep the...

    On board air or portable tank

    I watched a review on YouTube, a guy reinflated four 38" tires from 5 to 38 psi with one 4.0 amp/hour battery....not bad at all imo.

    On board air or portable tank

    I saw this battery powered inflator at Home Depot today. I wonder if it would be a good alternative to the very expensive ARB or Viair compressors. As long as one has a 110v outlet in the vehicle, only one battery and a charger is needed. The web site says it's rated to deliver over 120...

    President CB's, what do you think.

    Nice, I think it's even smaller than than mine.

    On board air or portable tank

    I would go with onboard air because it gives unlimited supply of air. Tanks are nice but once you used and emptied them they become useless and nothing more than dead weight and waste space for the rest of the trip.

    Roof top tents and dogs.

    A friend of mine as his RTT on a trailer. His Husky sleeps with him and his girlfriend in the tent. He carries a board covered with carpet that he puts up for the dog to get in the tent. Once she's up there he just puts the board back in the trailer until morning when he uses it again for the...

    Suspension Upgrade for 2014 Tacoma

    The Toyota suspension was dead after 25,000 miles on my 2010. I upgraded it to a complete OME kit (leafs, springs, shocks, the whole 9 yards) and never regretted it.

    President CB's, what do you think.

    The President CB is fixed. I started opening everything to check the connections. It turns out that the shop owner gave me double protection when he extended the power cord. I have an inline fuse on the wire which I had checked but I also have a fuse in the 12v plug, that one is dead.

    President CB's, what do you think.

    My backup CB is a BC 880, only problem with it is I did not store it properly in the Jeep and the channel selector button broke during the same trip, it must have jumped around and hit something. I am trying to find a replacement button. It's kinda big though which is why I wanted to changed...

    Jeep soft top

    If you find a good deal on a 4 door with a hard top 1you can always get an after market soft top, they aren't very expensive. You put the soft top in the summer and the hard top in the winter.

    Where did you install your OB emblem?

    Front fenders.

    President CB's, what do you think.

    I did check the fuse and it's good. I even exchanged it with the one from my backup cb to make sure.

    President CB's, what do you think.

    Please share your thoughts and experiences on President CB's. Last year I wanted to buy a Midland that has the CB and mic all in the same unit, I forgot what the model# is. The store owner told me not to, said they have terrible sound and very limited range, he highly recommended the President...
