Come out and show your overlanding rig benefiting some awesome charities! I will be there flying the OB flag. I am not affiliated with The Off Road Podcast, details copied from their event page: Bring your Jeeps, Toyotas, Jalopies, mall crawler's and any other dirt bound rig to our first ever...

Cool stuff! Definitely expensive, a 600lb capacity 60" full extention tray from slidemaster is $762, and I'd still need to build the box with dividers. Wish I could afford stuff like that.

So I'm having second thoughts about the side table, mainly due to road grime and complexity. Not sure if it'll happen. I did though decide that I need some kind of drawer for the inside, totes work but I've always hated having to dig through them to get something. So I drew this up, just a...

Little more progress. Started making a temporary bed frame with leftover wood from my shop build, and bought a $10 table from the habitat for humanity restore to canibalize. Going to cut the table top down the middle, install a piano hinge, sand it all down and stain it black. The table will be...

Lol, no way, the frame is already 2' off the ground. Plus I decided on this method of lift because I could keep the springs under, supposedly the short trailer springs will last longer spring under when they're being used off road. Something to do with minimalizing the front to rear torque on...

None that are really close that I'm aware of. There might be something in the Clatsop State Forest but I'm not sure.

Huge change in the suspension today, found out how easy it is to separate the leaf packs. The suspension finally moves! I'll be rotating leafs through to find the right setup but I figured I'll start as soft as possible and go from there.

Rally Point is live! https://www.overlandbound.com/event/n-oregon-and-s-washington-potluck/

Hello fellow OB members! We're having another gathering on October 20th, this one will be a potluck at Prescott Beach in Rainier Oregon off Highway 30 and right on the Columbia River. My wife and I will be cooking those big tasty Kirkland franks from Costco, and we will supply the basic...

Alright guys, I'll be posting the rally point here pretty soon. I drove out to Prescott Beach to make sure this was going to work for us and it definitely will. There's restrooms, a covered picnic area if the weather is sour, but also a nice big parking area on the beach that I think will be...

I'll go to the beach tomorrow and get you guys some pictures and nail down the day use fee, sounds like we've got a rough idea for a plan here!

What's everyone think of October 20th as a date?

Training will definitely be a part of the meet ups, probably nothing formal for this one as I think we need to gather as a group and compile a list of training we would like to have as priority. If there's interest I can do a basic how-to on winching at this one perhaps.

So I'm wanting to organize our next meet-up, wanted to get everyone together to discuss some of the stuff Kent brought up this weekend more in depth as a group. I have a few places in mind, and am looking for more ideas! The first place I was thinking was Prescott Beach off of Highway 30, plenty...

You can get that tubing at Home Depot, I welded the bracket on the larger tube, had to add washers to keep the smaller inside tube from being able to bump into the body. I also welded the feet on the smaller tube. It's all coated so it won't rust but I had to grind some of it off for welding...

Came up with a cheap way to stabilize the trailer, it's got so much ground clearance that I was having a hard time coming up with an affordable way to accomplish this. Works great!

Had a fun time with everyone! Looking forward to more regular meets!

Starting putting lights on the trailer, 2 on the right side, 1 on the back, and 1 on the left side. I need to wire them still. These were on my truck's roof rack.

Thanks! For long trips, it is really comfortable, our longest 1 shot drive so far has been roughly 400 miles and we had no complaints. Back seat, honestly not sure, we never have people back there. Off road capability is awesome, the factory rear e-locker and hill descent control is pretty...

I've had some work done by Green Mountain Metal Works in Woodland WA, a friend of mine owns the business, his name is Ben.
