    It doesn't matter what you drive?

    Your FJ did its job. That is to protect you and your family. You are fine. I went through the same thing in 1998. I got hit head on on the highway by someone travelling way to fast for the slushy, icy conditions we were in at the time. It wrote off my 1995 F150. Everything was in super...

    F150/250 for Overland rig?

    Have a 2017 f150 fx4 with the coyote v8. I love it except trying to park it. It has the turning radius of the titanic. However the v8 in it is sweet. If I were going to buy another, I would get the 5ft pan instead of the 6ft. Other than that put on an icon suspension and some good 33s and...

    Used truck and SUV prices in Atlantic Canada

    Cx 5 is an awesome rig. It's more pavement oriented but on pavement its a riot to drive. Good choice. We had a Mazda 5 gt and I installed Mazdaspeed suspension, and jdm body work on it. We loved it, and should have kept it.

    Packing up for our inaugural camping trip with the Sylvansport Go!

    I am packing up all our gear now for our first trip with the Sylvansport. Can't wait to "go". Full report on our website www.autismfamilytravels.com when we return. It's not an overland trip this time, just one to give our setup a good test.

    Used truck and SUV prices in Atlantic Canada

    This one looks very clean. Even the buttons on the heater and radio are not even worn. That happens alot on GM products for some reason. This seems to indicate highway milage and a vehicle that is well taken care of. Just an idea...

    Used truck and SUV prices in Atlantic Canada

    Ok, for one, if you are buying used, do not look at toyota expecting a low price. You won't get it. You can get a decent "domestic" truck for less money. For ford, if you are not buying new, stay away from the ecoboost. They have been problematic in the past. High strung turbo motors are...

    Everyone post their lighting setups!

    I am getting ready to get my lighting figured out. We NEED auxiliary lighting here as we have so many moose on the island. I have just become a dealer for a crap load of different brands for everything automotive so I am waiting to see what kind of pricing I can get on some of the different...

    12v fridge recommendations

    I just bought a unique branded 45qt fridge from Costco in Canada. We paid 599.00 for it. It works awesome and we are trying it out for the first time this weekend. A couple of tricks. Precool your fridge, and food so it is already cold. And keep it full if possible.

    Everyone post their lighting setups!

    Let's see what everyone is using on their rigs for nighttime animal avoidance.

    Found interesting hardware for overlanders on Amazon.

    Those warrior ones are the cats meow. I take it they are lockable too.

    How much would you plan for a 17 day trip? (Freaking out)

    perfect. Enjoy the trip. I need to check out the inreach as a spot alternative. Does it breadcrumb too?

    New bumper and winch on

    No springs in the front of that @Maverick9110E, there are torsion bars. You can "adjust" your spring rate on them by cranking on their mounting keys. There were some "heavier" versions available from one company awhile back, but I think they are discontinued now. The only other thing would...

    How much would you plan for a 17 day trip? (Freaking out)

    2 things, one if you are planning on "winging it" for a trip, pick up a spot. It tracks you so your family can know where you are even if you don't. Two, it's good to live in a place where population is 1/10 the size of the land mass. Besides parks I have no worries about packed places to...

    New bumper and winch on

    Your plan is pretty well what I was going to do with by Burban z71. A few ideas for you to ponder. Ford f150 keys in the front are a cheap lift for the front. The torsion bars on chev rigs are notoriously soft, so cranking them makes the rig much better to drive right off the bat. Monroe...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Likewise with my suburban z71. Should have kept it.
