We leave tomorrow! I don't feel the least bit ready. Who knew it took so much non-school related stuff to go to college! We will be taking off around 1:00 PM, so we don't have to rush the final loading in the morning to get through Chicago before rush hour. We'll mosey along, and take the...

@administrator Yep, I think it was titled "What portable air do you use?" or something similar. Definitely had "portable air" in there. I created the thread, if that helps. There was another "What xxxx do you use?" in the same sub-forum that I created, but can't remember it. My profile shows...

Thanks @4Runner, I just subscribed. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFf8PTHJTZwtMWLfFkAkS4w

I have the Viair 450 kit after all the help I received here in the missing thread. It is 100% duty-cycle (which I won't need, but may come in handy at some point down the road.) And @utspoolup I *love* that interior rack system! That would be great in my Outback (if I don't end up sleeping in...

I generally don't listen to music while driving, but on our cross-country trip, I'm sure I'll need something now and then to while away the hours when we are not talking. I have a Sirius radio mounted on the dash, and I'll probably have some mellow background music playing. Their Coffee House...

Have a fantastic adventure, Robert! I look forward to reading about your experiences, and seeing some amazing photographs. I'm already following you on Instagram, so I'll be able to keep up to date there while I'm on our adventures. Be safe! Steve

Hey @administrator Where did the gear threads go from the old forum? I was about to link Braden to our previous discussions on compressors, and it seems to have ben left behind. There was another one I'd started, too, but I can't recall what the topic was now.

LOL, he was only here for one day back in April. I don't think he'll see your request. ;)

Braden, What I do is click the New Posts button, as our resident gnome suggested. This will give you a list of threads containing new posts. If you click on the little red indicator to the left of the thread title, it will take you directly to the newest post. Even easier, is right-click, open...

Today: Wheel lug nuts re-torqued. Windows Rain-Xed USB charger cable run from rear 12V outlet and tested. 12V --> 110V AC inverter tested. Tools assembled with spare bulbs, and fluids. All fluids checked and topped off as needed. Safety check: all lights and indicators work, tires at recommended...

@administrator I appreciate that, Michael, but it's not even close. There are several Subaru off-road forums and Facebook groups with way better rigs than my humble attempt. Both pure off-road, and adventure traveling. Here are two great examples over on Expedition Portal: 2015 Subaru Outback...

Today was productive. (It better be! I'm running out of time.) I assembled and installed the Thule 450 Crossroad rack with 50" square bars. Then I played out the basket, installed the fairing, FourTreks Modular Awning mounts, FourTreks Modular LED light bar mounts, mounted the OPT7 CREE LED 32"...

I forgot to post this here the other day. This was from Thursday. One week until we leave! Today I had the local Subaru dealer change oil, and give the car a good looking over before taking off. Then I got a new Interstate battery to replace the OEM one, since we will probably getting into some...

I drive an MG. I always have a fire extinguisher. And fire departments carried fire blankets for VW's magnesium engine block. So the overloading vehicle would be the VW Bus. ( True story: I was building one of those metal model kits back in the '60s of a Duesenburg. The body was magnesium, and...

@stringtwelve Ah, I didn't realize they were settable. I thought that they were a quick release valve stem replacement. That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the explanation!

What do they do different than putting my tire gauge on and bleeding down to the desired pressure?

Splash!

One week until we leave! Today I had the local Subaru dealer change oil, and give the car a good looking over before taking off. Then I got a new Interstate battery to replace the OEM one, since we will probably getting into some colder weather. I removed the Thule rack with two kayak mounts...

Thanks Robert. We may get to two countries if we cross into Canada. :)

We went away for Labor Day weekend, and my mother-in-law ended up in hospital with pneumonia, so I haven't been on here in awhile. Lots of new folks, and everyone has been busy! We now have just a week to get ready, so right now I'm at the Subaru dealer getting an oil change, and a good going...
