    Rig in progress

    To reduce weight, you may want to create a tool kit specifically for your truck. A breaker bar and ratchet but only the sockets that fit bolts of your truck. No need for anything that doesnt fit. Only the sockets for lug nuts, battery change, oil drain, spark plug size, shock tower, diff...

    DIY service flap to access the fuel tank sender unit

    Well done. Wish my GMT400 1994 Chevy Blazer Silverado had had a hatch like that, after all, my girlfriend's 90's Nissan sedan did. Seems a no brainer yet few manufacturers do it

    Rig in progress

    Love those old GMT 400 full size Blazers from the 90's. Great relatively short wheelbase all-around covered wagons. Go anywhere, do anything. Had two of them myself

    Another Old Account and Deciding To Return

    Hi Scuba Could you describe the 2019 Subaru Forester Sport limits as you see them? I'm considering that same car as a possible replacement for my GMC out here in the Northeast and would like to know where it hits the wall. Thanks

    Is Electro-Overlanding a thing yet?

    Just read an article touting the new Toyota Tundra's range of something like 660 miles. The writer hyper-miled it and got more than that. Well, it has a 32 + gallon tank and is a hybrid Not for nothing but I can get 500 in my 10 year old GMC Sierra with a 5.3 AFM/DFM engine but my tank is...

    What’s the vibe here with Overland Bound?

    Hi Steve, While I have a full size truck, I consider a Subaru Forester a great vehicle. 4Runner, Rav4. Minivan. Whatever. I dont think you will get that kind of snobbery and pushback here. Its car camping taken to whatever level of intensity you want. Or not

    What’s the vibe here with Overland Bound?

    An XJ. IS a real Jeep in my book. Whole reason they finally came out with a 4 door Wrangler is because they didnt want the XJ stealing the thunder of the flagship model.

    2015 Chevy Silverado 1500

    The generation GM truck in your picture (the K2) uses the same body and interior between the k1500 and k2500 series. The differences are mainly frame size and strength, springs, axles, and engine choices. So, accessories for a k1500 half ton double cab with 6.5 ft bed will fit a 2500 series if...

    What do you call it?

    Mooning? Oh, sorry. That's something different.

    Don't be "that guy"

    Not that I disagree about policy permits and education, but if your first sentence contains the phrase "mostly on private property in Texas" then how would policy or permits apply in those instances which you describe as "mostly"? They wouldn't. Had a tin roof that came out under my bedroom...

    1999 GMC Jimmy "AT4"

    That just hurts.

    1999 GMC Jimmy "AT4"

    While I'm more a fan of the Silverado size trucks, GMT 400's. I've always thought there is a serious shortage of these - gen 1 OR gen 2 - being modified and offroaded. Nice to see it. Can NOT believe Chevy didnt make a proper K5 or S10 / 15 when bringing back the Blazer. Something like an SUV...

    2003 Grand Cherokee Laredo

    Back when i had my WJ, I had gone with IRO springs that I got from KOLAK (on a Jeep forum). My lift was slightly more modest. I liked the clearance and the ride. Your WJ looks good...makes me think about going out and getting another one. But JUST thinking about it

    1999 K2500 Suburban

    I am partial to the GMT 400 platform having had a two tone Cheyenne single cab short bed standard shift 4x4, and two 90's 2 door Blazers of this iteration.

    What is the best piece of advice you can give a new overlander?

    Food and water. Good tires. Tow/recovery strap. Lithium self starter (NOCO) Hardcopy maps of the area or good GPs. Patience. Practice things during the day and closer to home a number of times before practicing at night or farther away. The things you need will begin to present themselves.
