    Radio / Electrical Bag Organizing the Rig

    You guys all going to Expo need to block off a good half day to "aimlessly wander parking lot gawking at rigs"!!

    Proving a budget build is capable

    Looks very capable to me! @jordan My brother did Moab in a stock 2010 Tacoma and was fine but he said if he did it again, he'd need more height and armour. He doesn't rock crawl either, he just went to find very remote camp spots and views. Something to consider. Oh, and he used all the fuel he...

    Suspension advice

    Recently purchased a 2000 4Runner with 160k in great shape. I'd like to start with the suspension as it sags some. (Not too bad) if I got just coils or just shocks, not both at the same time, what's the..wisest choice? It's not bouncy, but soft. right now a full kit isn't an option, but piece by...

    Steve from Ohio

    @Steve Welcome! I always loved those subie wagons like yours. Absolute cockroaches and I've seen huge tire'd monster rigs stuck in snowy ditches and cars like yours fly on by as if they were on dry pavement. And you're right, an OB badge would look awesome on your black car! Can't wait to see...

    Overland Trips

    @Ryan -I've traveled a ton...even there...and we were just in awe. We stumbled across the right spot. It's very accessible too. Super easy as soon as you leave HWY 1. I did heat my brakes up a ton on the way back down though! @Michael Yeah, it was surprisingly easy. The map you posted takes you...

    Overland Trips

    Popped up to Big Sur for 3 days. We found great campsites, either mountain or ocean views. We went for ocean...because we could! It was very easy to get to. The roads had been pretty corrugated and rutted, but because of "fire season" they currently have equipment working on the roads. I can...

    Overland Cooking and Recipes

    Decided to just get a big box of  love from Omahasteaks.com instead of planning much. I've never ordered from there, but everything showed up in a cooler ready to go! I'll have to report back!

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Today I used my rig for Forest Service trail clean up day. People in the area hunt beer bottles in a few spots. ( ferocious beasts, those bottles!)  A local high school water polo team helped out and I packed out all the trash on my rack. So, now I think I need a bigger rack...you know, for the...

    New Gear

    @Frisly Went with plastic Scepter cans and a Super Siphon (what an awesome gizmo!) Thanks for the advice. I filled them up (one red fuel and one blue water) and they can lay on their sides on my rack with no leaks. When I take them on a trip, I was told a small carpet scrap between them and the...

    Navigation, how do you do it?

    Yeah, pdf maps are great. I did download Gaia Pro and I'm playing with that over the weekend. That is a good video you found @Wilson. That gave me a lot of help.
