    The Grenadier....

    I hope some day I can afford one. Absolutely love the Grenadier and the philosophy behind it. Incidentally, Toyota recently announced they're releasing a brand new $10,000 modular pickup truck aimed at business and trades use, however one of their concept art pieces showed a pretty sick overland...

    2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4wd SLT - "Rumble"

    Got the uprights swapped over today with the help of a neighbor and a couple of very tall homemade sawhorses I had around. Just put the saw horses in the bed to support the tent and the top of the bed rack, then unbolted the uprights and swapped sides, then bolted it all back together. Took a...

    Florida Hall of Shame

    See, this is the kind of thing I like to see, and the kind of response we as taxpaying citizens of our respective countries need to demand from our public SERVANTS. No, closing off access is NOT acceptable. It is NOT acceptable to punish the vast majority who are actually trying to solve the...

    Camp Photos!

    That tower looks like something right out of Lord of the Rings. Awesome! The spanish moss never fails to bring back fond memories of my time in Savannah, GA, although the weather was miserably muggy for my Canadian self lol Thanks for sharing!

    Florida Hall of Shame

    It's extremely frustrating, no question. Virtually every time I go in the woods I come out with a load of other people's trash. It could make a person throw up his hands in despair, but I prefer to try to be the change I want to see instead. Grassroots organizations like ours have had great...

    Florida Hall of Shame

    Looks like an opportunity for a big group of OB members from the area to organize a cleanup. BC 4wd Association has had great success in organizing cleanups of this magnitude several times and would be happy to share info and tips that might be useful. This is a tragedy, and it is despicable...

    2010 Dakota

    This is awesome, thanks! I assume the helper springs also decrease the saggy butt effect as well? Looks like the perfect solution for me. Very affordable.

    2010 Dakota

    Nice! I had a heck of a time trying to find factory tow hooks for mine, so I had to just drill and bolt in some rated recovery hooks to the frame. Could you by chance provide a link to the helper springs you used? Mine needs them desperately.

    2006 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4wd SLT - "Rumble"

    Updated photo showing the repaired body damange. Pic taken on our expedition to the Rockies Sept 2023: Far from body shop perfect, but it's way less noticeable and won't rust away now. My text task is going to be to disassemble the bed rack and swap the uprights from side to side, so that...

    2010 Dakota

    Looking good! Thanks for the shoutout :D If you decide to fit 285/75/16's, I'm intrigued to know what if anything is needed to fit them, as I considered those but for various reasons had to play it safe and go with 265/75/16's at the time. I also had the same idea you had about fitting a hidden...

    HUMAN FECES

    Ahh, Grubworm, like clockwork you'll appear in every thread and GO THERE. We should call you Old Faithful :P lol One thing I will say, this thread is a perfect example of why organizations like Overland Bound are important. I'm quite confident no member of OB would ever conduct themselves in...

    Electric chainsaw recommendations?

    I have the 18v Ryobi and have owned it for over a year now. I've used it extensively, both in the field and on my 5 acre property to fell fully grown standing dead poplars, which are pretty signifcant in size. I think mine has a 14" bar, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I bought the saw because I...

    I throat punched the bear, but he wasn't packing heat :( I am deeply disappointed and my day is ruined.

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    Bears are usually not a problem, even griz, but either kind can unalive you very fast. That's why I always take a firearm in the bush when camping.

    Wow, how did you manage to get such clear shots? Does your phone camera have adjustable ISO settings?

    Is the Overlanding community killing itself

    My setup is a $4250 2006 Dodge Dakota, a $100 bed rack from Kijiji with some metal brackets bolted on that I had laying around, to which I bolted my $16 walmart shovel, $19 axe, $80 pair of chinesium traction boards (they work just fine), a jerry can holder I made out of the same metal brackets...

    Let them eat SPAM!

    Firstly, it's kind of awesome that Grubworm's hilarious OP sparked 40 pages of Spam related shenanigans. Also, I have a spam dish I tried. I took a can of spam and a box of hamburger helper. I diced up the spam nice and small, then made it up with the hamburger helper. To thicken it, I crushed...
