    Gobi Stealth Rack Awning Brackets

    I picked up the Fourtreks brackets which aren't great as they leave the awning leaning at an angle, somebody else on the forums here, i don't remember who, pointed out these brackets and i think said they've had good luck with them. I've been meaning to pick up a pair, but it's been low on the...

    Post a pic, make a new photo challenge!

    We lovingly refer to the area under our awning as "our living room" Next challenge: I wanna see another rig/camp setup!

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    @WU7X If you are premium user, consider installing the MVUM overlay as well. I find that the combo of USFS Topo and MVUM (where it draws a green line on all the forest service roads) is magical. I usually have USGS topo underneath those two to cover non USFS managed lands as well. Like you did...

    Arizona Overlanders

    Somebody had started a monthly meetup at some mall in the Phoenix area a while back but abandoned it after a couple of months. I'll be starting one up down here in southern Arizona (not at a mall) when we return from the Overland Bound Rally in October - once the temps come back down. I'll post...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    Yep, but often those status bars on the "Download Status" are empty or completely full (but not actually downloaded/available yet), or appear to be hung, or there will be nothing shown where it shows the download data rate. On Android the same thing happens, but in a slightly different way...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    Yeah, anything would be an improvement. The main issue I have with it right now is with the messaging, or actually, the LACK of messaging about what the state actually is. "Download requested" "Download in progress" "3 hours remaining" "4 days remaining" "Download failed" "Download timed out"...

    OB Approved Overland Bound Comms Frequency Guide

    I have all three in the rig, but ham (2m) is by far the most used, followed by GMRS, and CB only if I absolutely have to, which is almost never.

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    As a guy who very heavily uses Gaia on both Android and iOS platforms (in addition the the web version), it's essentially the same experience across both mobile platforms. There are some major flaws present in all three platforms (to include web). I think anybody kvetching about it not working...

    Off the Grid 2018 - Arizona Convoy - 10/04/2018

    Will do! I'm not sure how late you work, but it's also an easy enough to access camp spot that driving there in the dark should be no challenge. Remind me again when the date gets closer just to make sure I don't forget to send you coordinates. Do you have a 2m ham radio?

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    You edited it but when i first saw your message you had a message about a converter, just wanted to give you a heads up that if your trailer has brakes they won't work in case you didn't already know that (i assume you do, but for safety i'm calling it out just in case) That truck is slick...

    Overlanding With Toddlers Discussion Thread

    hah, i've been curious about this, too. Our longest trips together with the whole family so far have been about a week, so it's been not too bad holding off, but we definitely have some much longer trips coming up and are working our way towards a multi-month trip in a year or two. Up to now, we...
