Hey, that's awesome news. I have to say, I wasn't relying heavily on the app on this trip, but I did refer to it several times, and it was on the money every time. I'm excited to see how it turns out! Great to know the website map will be the same, because the accuracy is excellent.

Hello fellow OB members! I recently completed another expedition, this time through northwest BC between Telkwa and Prince Rupert, and during our adventure, we hit a snag trying to get to what is likely a jaw dropping camp site on the shores of Kildala arm. Along Gitsekan forest road, there is...

You have come to the right place :)

Up here we call it BC Pinstriping. There are a TON of uber narrow, overgrown tracks up here in the wilds of BC. It's the price you pay for exploring the awesome wilderness. Most guys see it as a badge of honor - it shows you use your 4x4 for what it was built for :) Here's a nice example of the...

That's a really tough one. You would have to basically remove the tranny and completely disassemble it just to get at it. I considered re-gearing my V in the same way but concluded it was cost and effort prohibitive.

Holy smokes! Even with two coolers plus the internal, it still overheated?! That's nuts. I haven't heard of anyone doing an LSD for the pilot, but I seem to recall someone working on something similar for the RD1 CR-V. Check Lifted Honda Society on Facebook. I deleted my account so I can't look...

Time to install a supplementary tranny oil cooler! Is your pilot set up like the CR-V where it has an oil cooler built into the radiator? Or just no supplementary cooling?

During our Kitsault expedition, there were bears everywhere. We came back to camp after our day in Alice Arm to find that they had been digging for grubs about ten feet behind my tent. We had zero issues with them, however, because we were extremely careful about not letting a single crumb fall...

Awesome part of BC to be exploring, I must say, especially if you include a boat of some sort in your travels. I'm jelly of your ability to be out for that long! If you have any interest in the local history of the Sunshine Coast, two awesome reads are Tales from Hidden Basin and Haunted...

c Oh that was for sure the golden age of Honda. I owned a 98 Civic hatch back stick shift and dang was that car fun to drive.

One of the things I find the most fun about off roading the CR-V is the challenge. Because it doesn't have massive flex, sway bar disconnects, locking diffs, or even low range or selectable 4wd, it forces you to be a better driver. Things like line selection, throttle control and tire placement...

It would be fun to have a "Misfit Overlanders" thread. Lifted Cadillac Eldorado anyone? Lol

I wonder if it was an OB member you saw, because someone on this forum with a lifted AWD Sienna with a tire carrier etc. Minivans are definitely among the most versatile vehicles out there. Definitely not a Small Vehicle Overlander though. I can't speak for everyone, but my feeling is that this...

Given how tiny the Willie's and it's civilian iteration the CJ are, my vote is that they qualify as SVO's. I for one would love to see an overland build on one of these.

You know, in thinking about my rig, I definitely spoke too soon in saying I didn't have much else to do. A few more mods came to my mind recently that I had somewhat forgotten. 1. Light bar along the front of the roof rack, preferably hidden under the flip up wind faring, paired with small...

I always use the German torque spec: gudentight. Lol If you want to get them to the correct spec, it should be listed online. Search up "RD1 CR-V engine mount bolt torque spec" and you should find it pretty quickly. Lots of guys mod CR-V's both for off road and high performance, interestingly...

This evening at Telkwa Microwave Cabin.

Hulk Smash! :D

High precision wheel well modification with the Persuaderator 3000. The big fat tires were rubbing only just slightly at full lock in the front. Freakin' mint, boys!

Made use of the highly precise Persuaderator 3000 today to correct some minor tire rubbing inside the front wheel wells, as well as massage the rear ones to make them a bit better as well. As the saying goes: freakin' mint.
