I'd be interested in an Oct run. -TJ

The Gladiator diesels are having engine overheating problems, not trans. What Chevys are having trans overheating? -TJ

A well-built Grand like yours is so capable. A lot of folks really underestimate them, but as you're proving they're great rigs. Looks like great trails too. -TJ

Looks like a good time! Nice, simple camp and some good wheelin'. -TJ

No need to wait for the diesel. However, people are having lots of issues with them. I was really close to buying one specifically to tow my little trailer around, but folks are having bad overheating when towing. But yes, the MPG people are reporting is much better, but at what cost? If I...

Aren't we comparing a Ranger to a Colorado? Mid to mid? -TJ

Wow, super wild and super cool. Find a way to hide a winch up front, put a locker in the back, and I bet it'll be a helluva Overlander and the right combination of "piss off the purists and intrigue the like-minded weirdos." -TJ

You've built an awesome, but heavy and even less aerodynamic than stock rig. It's not going to get stock MPG. The best suggestion is to just slow down a bit, 80 MPH is a LOT pushing that thing through the wind. Of course, I'm realistic and know slowing down isn't for everybody, especially...

Might want to edit the title to include "Ranger" as there is also a Tremor Super Duty. As MT pointed out, you're only talking ~2 degrees better on most of those angles. I'll give up 2 degrees (that is easily gained in the aftermarket with other bumper options, lifts, wheels/tires, etc.) for a...

I use this: GO Anywhere Portable Toilet®/The PETT® Plus this: Ozark Trail 2-Room Instant Shower/Utility Shelter - Walmart.com And I really like the setup. I went with the "2-room" tent cuz it also gives you some room to use it as a changing area, "shower" without having to move the commode...

Wow, looks like I found the perfect person to talk to! Budget, IDK I was thinking $300-ish but I'm willing to go higher i fit's justified by the end result. As far as features, honestly I don't know - I'm not a photog at all. I guess I want something well suited to outdoor/nature photography...

You say that like we're the junky scum responsible for it. I promise you it wasn't "Overlanders." Look in every major city, our tax dollars are buying those needles, feeding those junkies, and letting them setup campsites wherever they want. If you want to fix this a) vote b) start making...

I thought I'd have some input for you, but then I clicked into the thread and saw you're only doing 3 day trips max. I guess it just means you can run both sides at fridge temps, or you get to have ice cream! ;) I bought a dual-zone unit to supplement the single-zone on my trailer just before...

I get what you're saying, but I suppose you didn't actually read why I want a point 'n shoot? I have a S21 Ultra which is prob the best current camera phone, with several different lenses and optical zooms (plus digital of course). Anyway, thanks for the suggestions everyone. -TJ

Congrats. -TJ

Hey, I'm hoping the photogs in here might have some suggestions for a cheap/simple point 'n shoot that's well suited for Overlanding, outdoor and action photography. After most of my trips I always regret not getting more pictures (or vids). I have a Samsung S21 Ultra for my phone, and it's...

Good info, I'll ahve to look into the NEMO. As for the Exped Duo 15, 53x80' would be the exact interior dimensions of my 459 Krawler... so that would work. -TJ

I've have the Exped Mega Mat 10, LXW for 6 years now. With having the trailer and RV I don't use it as much as I used to, but it still has a ton of nights on it and it still works great with no leak-down. I'm a bigger guy (6' ~275... yeah yeah I need to work on that) and a side-sleeper and I...

Went and did some Jeep things, if not exactly "Overland" things this weekend. Met up with a group led by a coworker and ran Strawberry Pass. You can YouTube it and find a lot of videos, in general it's not especially challenging. I tried to pick the hard lines and test things, and the WJ did...
