    Tembo Tusk...Worth it?

    The Tembo Tusk Skottle is on my "to buy" list for this year. I have looked at and tried other things the past few years, but nothing seems to break down like the Skottle, which is my prime concern, right now. I was something compact and easy to pack.

    Overlanding over water?

    So, my nephew and I are hopefully going to do a trail cleanup in a few weeks (Yes, I will post it so anyone in Southwest Missouri, Northwest Arkansas and Northeast Oklahoma can participate) and it got me to thinking about other cleanups. My local SCUBA shop does a lake cleanup every year and I...

    Kayaks - Inflatable, Rigid, Folding. . . whaddya have and how do ya like it?

    I was strictly a fly fisherman, who waded streams for several years. Last year, a buddy I fish with quite a lot, convinced me to buy a kayak so we could cover more river on our fishing trips. I bought a Jackson Big Rig FD. It's 13.25 feet long, 40 inches wide and weighs 145 pounds, with the...

    Did you have to drop in new gears to accommodate the 35s? Do you have any other pics of it posted on OB? Thanks

    Rig Photos

    I took mine out into the Mark Twain National Forest, on Sunday, down a few washed out trails I shouldn't have. Twice, I had to turn around and head back up the trail, crawling over all different sizes of rocks. I simply put it in 4W-LO, watched the lines I took and let it crawl back to the trail...

    US Comms - An Introduction to your Communication Options

    I was considering putting a CB in my rig a few years back, until someone on Overland Bound convinced me to get my HAM license ... I tested for the technician license one month and went back and tested for the general the next. You can get study books to learn the material, but the best resource...

    Confusion, looking for another rig, need advise.

    I have driven an Xterra since 2005. I currently drive a 2015 Pro-4X and I would not trade it for anything. No major issues with either of them, until my 2005 SE needed a new engine or a rebuild after 275K miles. That being said, my wife has a 2017 4Runner TRD Pro and it is amazing! Granted, they...

    Thinking of a Nissan Xterra

    I have a 2015 Pro-4X and I wouldn't trade it for anything, except, maybe a Defender 110 :sunglasses:. I drove a 2005 SE for 12 years until it finally died on me. Super reliable, plenty of power and quite a bit of aftermarket support. I had to replace the front bearings and do routine maintenance...

    Missouri?

    I am two hours away in northwest Arkansas ... I will definitely make this. Hoping for a nice turnout. It would be great if this turned into an annual event for the Midwest.

    Tents and why you purchase them?

    I have a Kodiak Cabin canvas tent. It is rated as a 3-season tent, but I've had it in temps as low as 28-degrees and had to turn the heater off halfway through the night because it was so hot inside the tent. It once rained for 28 hours straight and the tent never leaked. It's a 12x9 tent, with...

    MIDWEST OVERLANDING AND OFF-ROAD EXPO, Feb. 15 and 16

    I just found out about this event, which is scheduled for Feb. 15 and 16, in Springfield, Mo. It is their inaugural event, so no idea what it will be like. There is a trail ride (three different times to accommodate everyone's schedule). It looks like it could really turn into something special...

    Photography

    My wife and I returned to Iceland in October 2019 ... We stayed in AirBNBs the whole time because my wife doesn't do primitive camping, but we drove the Ring Road and most of the Western Ring Road, which is no small feat with gas about $2.35/liter.

    Maxterra's 06' Nissan Xterra

    What VIAIR OBA system did you install? It runs you r air lockers, as well as your tires, correct? Also, are you still building rear bumpers? If so, I'd love to talk to you about purchasing one. I too have a Gobi ladder and want to have the swing-out tire carrier, jerry can holder, and the...
