Glad you're ok, and sorry to hear about the rig. Sounds like if you were in anything much smaller, you may not have gotten away with just bumps and bruises.

The OzTent King Goanna camp chair is my current favorite. There's an insulated cup holder/pocket on each side of the seat with a grommet for drainage. Supports up to 330 lbs. It folds up to about the same as any other chair and fits in a nice zippered bag. It's got adjustable lumbar support and...

Poor planning? Not at all. Poor planning is not taking it, even when you think you won't need it. Someone else might. The Mojave Road, Death Valley, or any remote desert location calls for extra fuel. If you don't carry it, you're asking for trouble. A winter day run up a mountain, I carry...

My first submission didn't seem to go through (waited for a few months), and re-submitted 2 weeks ago.

Exhaust leaks welded.

Around 10 mpg in my daily driven D2. 50 mile round trip for work.

Other advantages using the Wag Bags (vs. just a ziplock) is that the powder gels your pee and can be used a couple times. It also helps reduce some of the smell. The bag with the powder then goes into another heavy doodie ;) large double ziplock bag. Both are OD green so you don't have to see...

Rear quarter panel, right next to the cargo door (on the driver's side).

Mine stay in the house, even on certain trips where I know getting gas won't be an issue. They sure look cool up on the roof, but height restrictions are another big reason they don't stay up there (my truck is a daily driver). The last thing a vehicle with the aerodynamics of brick needs is...

That would probably work. Depending on how remote you go, you might also have the option of re-stocking your supplies at some point during your trip.

I knew someone on here had to be in an OzTent at the 2015 OE West show.

You mean vs. a RTT? Sure that could be a downside, but compared to most other tents, setting up in the mud with an OzTent is a great option. It has a thick rubber floor compared to any other ground tent I've seen, and it extends up the walls about 6" on all four sides. Both times I used the...

I've always wanted an RTT, but the girlfriend and 150 lbs. St Bernard keep the tent on the ground. After a couple weekends in the OzTent RV-5, I think that will be the next tent purchase. Tepui makes great stuff and always go out of their way to keep their users happy. The tents are well made...

Sorry to hear you had to cut your trip short. Don't let it stop you from more adventures though. Looks like you handled that hill climb better than the Jeep.

Just front brake pads yesterday. Was hoping to replace the Watts bushings, but the press never made it to my buddies house. There was lots of BBQ, so more time was spent eating than wrenching ;)

I'd say up front. You'll have less antenna cable to route, and if it gets hung up on something, you can look out the sunroof and check on it. What is your exit strategy for the cable?

Thanks for the update @NorCalCrisp

Thanks @Steve! I just got that account going and still figuring out the settings. edit: fixed?

San Francisco here!

Here are a few shots of my 2001 D2 when it was purchased in Sept 2007. And here is the current setup.
