    Exped MegaMat Duo 10 Sleeping Pad Review

    I have the Duo 15 in my Four Wheel Camper and a 10 single wide for tent camping. I absolutely love them, honestly I think I sleep better on the Duo 15 in the FWC than my expensive Sleep Number bed at home. -TJ

    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    With me that's generally the right assumption, lol. -TJ

    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    That's just his spare leaning against the rig. He has a sleeping platform in the back of the 'runner, but his spare goes on it during the day. He just leans it against the rig when he sets up camp, in this case he leaned it against a rear tire and it has confused every single person I've ever...

    Is Electro-Overlanding a thing yet?

    https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/overlanding-with-an-ev.46651/ One of my buddies I "Overland" with a good bit has a 4xE. It's a great rig and he loves it, but he almost never is running pure-EV off road. For him it just makes it a practical DD since he lives within the pure-EV...

    Overlanding with an EV

    I used to be somewhat anti-EV, but if I'm being brutally honest that was mostly just because I've always been a "car guy" and somehow felt obligated to be anti-EV. Like a lot of things (such as die-hard brand loyalty) as I get older I realize it's just silly to be so closed minded, or to feel...

    New Tacoma Trailhunter - What does this mean for 4Runner?

    It's safe to assume the next-gen 4Runner will get all the same models and partnerships as the 'taco. That seems to be the trend with the previous gen 'taco (as in 3rd Gen, considering this new one as "current" now but I suppose that's a bit premature) & current 4Runner. -TJ

    Help, I have Jeep envy

    My truck's break-over isn't great, but it sits pretty tall so it's not as bad as you might expect. That said, it's not a rock crawler. I love the WB on the WJ (~106" stock, mine is around 108"), I think it's right around "perfect" as a compromise between nimbleness, interior space, ride...

    Help, I have Jeep envy

    Yeah, I was just making the point that I've done and seen more in my Silverado that "is a terrible Overland platform" than moooooost fully kitted out Tacomas with 92 rotopax I see driving around the Bay Area. If you know what you're doing and properly equip your vehicle a long wheelbase isn't a...

    Help, I have Jeep envy

    If a Colorado has an unacceptably long WB for Overlanding, I guess I'm just effe'd and shouldn't even try...

    Recommendations for cheap/simple point 'n shoot cameras?

    I love the camera itself... I still haven't used it enough. My trips tend to be pretty mobile, and I'm usually the slower moving rig in the group (the FWC is very light, and my truck handles it well... but I'm still not going to bomb a trail like my buddies with long-travel 4Runners setup for...

    New Rig Question

    I'm biased, and tend to agree. And there's a "hack" to make sleeping in them pretty reasonable: You just get the right size action packer and pop the bottom of the passenger seat out and you're good to go. That said, it's prob a bit small for longer-term living, but I guess the stock roof...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Mine got a bath, for the first time since sometime last fall? Lol. It still had mud on it from my trip to Moab in Oct. -TJ

    New Rig Question

    LR4s actually seem to be reasonably reliable. If it's what your heart and mind are set on, then don't just rule it out because of the reputation. Get over on the Land Rover forums and solicit real world feedback from owners. Figure out what years and mileage fit in your $30k budget and see...

    Salt and Pepper Grinder

    I have some rechargeable (USB) ones I got cheap on Amazon. It sounds like the ultimate in lazy, but I use a LOT of pepper when I'm cooking, especially if I'm doing a bunch of steaks for a big group so hand-grinding honestly gets old. Boo-hoo, I know. ;) It's all plastic. The only thing I...

    How do the first gen Xterras/Frontiers compare to 1G Tacomas/3G 4runners?

    Yeah, I probably worded it poorly. Was just saying it's similar to what you hear from Jeep people about the 4.0L I6: "it's a torque monster, it makes more torque down-low because its peak is lower..." but it's not that it makes more torque down low, it just never ends up making any HP. Lol...
