    What are Overland Bound Challenge Coins?

    This is a really great idea! I'm heavy metal and I'm glad to see the coins are too \m/ Based on the Ambassador version and OB Badge I'm really looking forward to seeing what the other coins will look like too.

    Emergency bag stuff.

    I used to carry a day pack strapped to the back of the driver's seat. While I was at a wedding a few years ago someone decided to smashed the glass and take the bag. I lost some really nice equipment in that bag. The replacement only sits in the truck for trips. Once the cargo windows are caged...

    Get Over it!!! (Overland Humor :-)

    This thread is full of WIN! I'm surprised there was only one mention of Land Rovers. Of course, the next 5 pages will be leaky Rover this, Rover in the shop again that... It's funny 'cause it's true :)

    Off the Grid II - Venue

    I've not stayed at the group site that will be OTG, but in the Dogwood area where I've stayed in the past there are power outlets. Be careful though. The breakers can trip easily if a there's a large amperage draw.

    Hi-Lift Jack

    I like the idea of the SAM but it doesn't fit my setup. I have a slimline bumper and the recovery tabs are rotated 90* (the pin inserts vertically) from the way this is designed. Also, my sliders are made of square tubing so the rubber piece that supports round tube doesn't work either. It might...

    Head Lamp Suggestions

    I have a couple Black Diamonds. The larger of the two has 2 beam types, and the red LED. It's good if you're hiking and need good light at a distance. The smaller one I use in the tent or to work on the truck. You don't need 200 lumens when you're a foot or two away from something. @BEAR has...

    Glad I wasn't the only one thinking of Star Wars references about the team colors!

    Initial "spooling" instructions for new winch, I had no idea!

    For a steel cable, this initial procedure sets its shape around the drum. For synthetic it provides the tension over the drum to prevent it from slipping. After using your winch with most of the line un-spooled, it's important to spool it in under a load. This will help prevent the wraps from...

    Long Trip Checklist

    Look at your maintenance records to see what fluids need replacing, or will need to be by the end of the trip. Change them before leaving. If there's something you have no record, or memory of changing, replace it too. Get a AAA premiere membership. Test all of your vehicle systems to make...

    I have an emergency whistle with some other survival extras. You can always use the side view mirrors as a signaling device.

    Recent Forum Signature Change

    One image, multi url is good for members. I'll have to combine my pics it seems:) Pre-approved social media fields in the profile page and maybe allow one custom url? Something like that might help mitigate spam.
