    Cummins R2.8 in California

    My bet is that Cummins doesn't want to try to play ball with the bureaucratic mess that is Kali, but they don't want to publicly admit that either. Thanks for doing the legwork to show that there is currently nothing to hope for.

    Cummins R2.8 in California

    I understand your frustration. When the news of the R2.8 first came out I was interested and got on the email list for updates as it progressed. All the marketing information they put out suggested it would be 50 state legal, but every time I inquired about an E.O. for Kali I met a brick wall...

    Vin number

    Is it possible that someone did a motor swap? As a general rule the VIN can be used to pull up the entire build sheet for the vehicle. I have gone into the dealership and gotten this printed out for most of my vehicles. I would think an '04 would be well documented, though I will admit I have...

    Show me a Road Sign.....really any sign...

    I feel sorry for the slow rattlesnakes. The same as the slow children. :yum:

    The original overlander- Bantam BRC

    And before that was the Conestoga wagon. And before that was the travois. And before that was the camel. How far back do we want to go?

    We want a shrubbery!

    Gee. Have I ever seen anything like that? Hmmm... :yum:

    Define "Overlanding"

    I try not to fret much over the word. It is just a fancy word for camping, just like utilize is a fancy word for "use". Some people need to feel more special, so they need a special word. Others of us have been at this for long enough to keep doing what we have always been doing and not...

    I don't understand open bed trucks with racks and tents.

    My chicken tractor is going to have a winch. :mask:

    I don't understand open bed trucks with racks and tents.

    Suddenly I need an excavator. I can already see the look on The Bride's face.

    Rent from overland bound fellows

    Just have kids. You might be better off renting your stuff out. At least that way you get some percentage of its value back in your pocket.

    OB Metal License Plate Frame??

    That probably means "Nothing to say yet."

    Define "Overlanding"

    This is like deja vu all over again... For me it is camping. Yes. That simple.

    Looking for some advice

    I wouldn't get rid of your CTD. No way. That thing has more life left in it than does a brand new Colorado. Aftermarket support for heavy trucks has increased in the past decade or so. Lots of guys using them as chase vehicles, and then taking them on side trips while they are out there...

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    Now you are defining a different word. Boondocks (noun): Out in the sticks, far from civilization Boondocking (verb): Camping in an undeveloped site I grew up in the boondocks, but living there wasn't boondocking. We didn't get electricity until I was 6, but we did have running water and...

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    Some people even refer to camping in Walmart parking lots as "boondocking". But they are not the elite. :tonguewink: As to the picture above.... Doggonit Grubworm. Have some mercy on the rest of us. Some things just can't be unseen. :screamcat:

    This is what happens when you post your overland routes

    Manifest Destiny!! Except we seem to have lost the vision and let the task lie unfinished. We got the east-west part taken care of and then dropped the ball on the north-south component. :tonguewink:

    This is what happens when you post your overland routes

    A couple hundred years or so ago Thomas Jefferson handed $2,500 to a couple of army guys and told them to go have fun overlanding. They rounded up some more overlanders and made a two year, 8,000 mile expedition out of it. And when they came back they shared their route. And this is what has...

    When is enough really enough?

    I wholeheartedly agree. I don't know where this idea came from that you should not repair a car if the cost of the repairs exceeds the value of the car. That is hardly the right comparison. The real issue is whether or not the cost of the repairs exceeds what it is going to cost you to...

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    That most certainly should have come across as humor. Someone would be most disappointed if it were not recognized as such. But I still like the example. The essence of Four Yorkshiremen is that each claims to have started out worse off than his neighbor. The elite minimalist prides himself...
