    My new Overlanding vehicle.

    Is that the brand new Ford Excursion? *snickers*

    Trailtec 4x4 - Colorado Overland Build

    285 will require 1.25 or 1.5" wheel spacers or new wheels with <+15 offset to clear the frame and you'll have to do the usual fender mods and sway bar relocation bracket. A 255/80/17 will get you the ground clearance and be a lot easier to fit if you don't mind the narrow look. A 275 will...

    Overlanding Raptor Build

    Quick Pitch combined with a Roadshower 2 or a DIY setup might get him interested in going. :)

    Not one... BUT TWO trucks! '12 JKU and '03 GMC Sierra...

    But if they went off-road they might scratch their pretty shiny bro-dozer wheels. :tearsofjoy:

    Seriously! It's finally up into the high 90s in the valley and I'm already over it. Thankfully those consecutive days of 109+ didn't happen this year. So cooler temps combined with a heavy snow year means the high elevation trails (6,500ft.+) are just getting around to melting. So I will be up...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I would consider running a stap over the cans as well unless they fit very snug in the holders. I noticed mine rocks around in the holder when driving rough roads so I now secure it with bungee to reduce wear and tear as well as stop noise. Mine is mounted in the bed but hitch mounted platforms...

    That's the attitude to have when you buy the generic LED lights. I have a few Amazon specials on my truck and they work well enough for the $20 I spent. They were sealed well too until I apparently cut through a seal with a razor blade while applying the yellow film. Grrr When the moisture...

    Such terrible news but thank you for making us aware. :(

    Chevy Silverado - Bumper Options

    100% agree! :) A winch by itself is useless if you need to be pulled from the rear or there are no trees or large boulders to act as an anchor. The list above is essential for solo wheeling even if you have a winch IMO.

    BFG KO2 Tires

    Wet traction is really the only downfall for the KO2. There are so many threads on this tire on so many forums and you'll find that the recurring grip is wet traction. There are people who claim they don't have any problems but you'll rarely find anyone boasting the KO2 prowess in wet. There are...

    Day Trip - Up & Down Signal Peak Trail, CA

    The other side is less rocky. :)

    Day Trip - Up & Down Signal Peak Trail, CA

    Yup! You start at the Cisco Grove entrance which is further east from where I started. It's mainly a dirt road that turns more rocky with a couple short rock slabs to climb. Nothing a stock pickup can't do when it's dry.

    Keeping the truck 100% stock a 265/70/17 (31.7") or 255/75/17 (32.1") will fit. Anything larger may cause some rub in the right conditions.

    Pachyderm, or "Pac", a 2017 GMC Canyon

    That was great. The video put a lot more emotion behind the loss of Ruby and what overlanding means to your family. Well done. And thanks again for the Banff/Jasper advice. We saw some amazing stuff but missed so much more. We will definitely be back!

    New tires and wheels makes all the difference

    Tires and wheels definitely spell out the intent of a rig. I like the change. :)

    I need to wire up a chase light and a red camp light. I dislike bugs flying into my food while I cook at night! I washed her all up then watched the sun set with her..... *sigh*
