Oh, the one pic I took from the weekend (out near Ward lake, in the Mono Hot Springs area): -TJ

Am I the only one that finds it frustrating/annoying when folks post threads (often with a catchy title) that have ZERO content other than their YT video embedded? I get that some folks make YT content to actually help and educate, heck probably the majority of YT'ers. While some make massive...

Apparently Overlanding is nothing but making YT videos and forum posts about what Overlanding is... -TJ

I haven't updated the thread in a bit, because I haven't changed much on the rig. I've just been using/enjoying it. Eventually I still want to get a custom leaf pack made to eliminate the blocks and better handle the weight, but honestly it's been super handy needing the bags to level it out...

I find a lot of RV parks are like this. This is going to sound elitist AF... but we actually bought in a private RV park that only allowed DPs 10 years old or newer and had plenty of rules against all of ^^^^^^that behavior. It was populated by lets say 99% retired, wealthy folks. It was...

Yes, I read your entire post. To answer your question: No, I don't expect a huge step-change in electric drivetrain efficiency. To be clear, I am specifically referring to the power use of the drivetrain, not storage. The first electric cars in the US were built in the 1890s. Electric motors...

Dude, the sun only delivers so much energy to the surface of the earth... it's just fact. Even if you harvest it ALL from every square inch of a vehicle it's not enough. Again, that's not an opinion, it's a scientific fact. And even if by some miracle that weren't the case, and you could get...

Gotcha, I glanced quickly on my phone, didn't notice the trailer in the first pic. ;) -TJ

I'm a fan of Silverados, mine came with 20"s stock, I immediately changed them to 18"s and now 17"s after the Solid Axle Swap. As for yours, I agree with ditching some of the front lift to level it. The only time squat should happen when off roading or Overlanding is for a 10-200. -TJ

Ummm, on what vehicle? And you don't want 20"s (much less 24"s) for an actual off roading including Overlanding. -TJ

Very nice. I try hard to live by, and spread the Tread Lightly credo. -TJ

The BDT I linked above is perfect for that. Sign up for their service, get the KMZ/Ls and load them in GAIA and do as much or as little as you want each day and stop wherever you like. The town of Allegheny and their mining museum is pretty neat, and The Little Town of Washington (a short...

Your Tacoma is a bigot, I'm not sure I understand. That said, I guess you got the *only* 'taco to ever get 24 MPG. -TJ

The Tacoma's drivetrain is grossly outdated. Everyone I know with them hates the lack of power, the trans always hunting gears, and the terrible MPG. I would pick the Ranger just for the 2.0T/10A. -TJ

https://www.overlandtrailguides.com/post/tahoe-backcountry-discovery-trail Jump on any section of this, just be aware that Bowman Lake will be super-busy Fri-Sun and holidays. -TJ

IMHO if you box 1/3rd you need to box the whole thing. That era GM frame is verrrrry flexy, but it works okay when allowed to flex as designed. However, what I've seen is when you box just specific sections and leave others flexy it'll crack in the unboxed areas since they have to take up all...

That's a mistake. It's worth the trip and really not far from Boise (and just the pavement drive from Boise is beautiful going up 55). -TJ

Thank you! -TJ

Looking forward to seeing this build come together. I went from pulling an adventure trailer (SoCal Teardrop Krawler 459) behind Jeeps ('03 Grand Cherokee Overland that's very built and '17 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk w/ 5.7) to a full size with a Fourwheel Camper. I love my setup, but a full...
