There was such a great response in the portable air thread that I thought I'd ask the same about what fridge/freezer you are using in your travels. I'm sure we'd all love to have a National Luna to keep our burgers cold, but $1500 and up is a lot of dough for many of us. In our family travels...

Thanks Frisly, Before kids were in school, we preferred camping in September, as the campgrounds were empty, the weather more comfortable, and no tourists! :blush: Now our youngest will be heading off to college in September, so we'll be able to travel any time of the year, now. Here's sorta...

Thanks, String! I've had this car since new, and it only has 34,000 miles on it. I've been on the SubaruOutback forum for many years, and am familiar as to what to watch out for. While I've seen a few complaints about the throw-out bearing, most have to do with the turbo filters and head...

Well, this isn't going to be a typical build thread. I'm not putting together a rig for day trips rock crawling or weekends in the desert. My vehicle is just plain not fit for these type of excursions. I am putting together a vehicle that will be comfortable on hours of Interstate at a time, and...

At this point, our plans are pretty vague, but we will be doing a cross-country road trip with as much off-pavement exploring as we can do. We live just west of Cleveland, Ohio, and in late September, our daughter will be attending college in Seattle, Washington. Our outbound trip will be with...

Thanks for all the input, guys! Once I get tires and suspension sorted, I am going to start on the layout for storage and hardware inside. I'll mod something with air at that point. On our cross country travels, I want to take the back seat completely out and turn that into storage. I...

OK, sorry to do this to those of you who have added my Instagram account. I'm changing it (again) away from a personal account and to a new account specific to exploring the USA. My new Instagram account is Explore_the_USA https://instagram.com/explore_the_usa Thanks, Steve

Thanks guys. That would be wonderful to do, Mike, if I didn't have 973 other things under the hood... :wink: (Not mine, but same year/model) I'd never considered CO2, Peter. That looks like an expensive route to go for the minimal air needs I'd have. I can see where it would be handy for...

Nice awning, Duncan, and about half the price of my ARB 2500. Mine probably goes up a bit quicker, but you're usually not in any hurry when your out on a trip enjoying the day. (my post #9350) Steve

Thanks, I'd love one like that with the diesel engine!

Thanks, Duncan. A quick Google of that looks like it has several favorable reviews. I appreciate the input! Steve

Hi Spoon, and welcome aboard! Steven, that's a nice Suburban. Does it have the barn doors, or lift gate. I'm not sure when it changed.

Number 0202 arrived! Thanks, now I have to figure out where to put it. Maybe I'll wait until the Outback is a bit more soft-road ready so as to not embarrass the Overland Bound community. :wink: Steve

Thanks guys. I'm thinking more like Robert's example than the large units with tanks that StringTwelve posted. I'll only have 225-70-16 tires, so not a ton of volume to fill, nor space for a large compressor. Otherwise, I'd add an inverter and take along my 110V pancake compressor. I've seen the...

I'm going to be needing portable air eventually. What units are y'all using, and are you happy with it? Suggestions on what to look for or what to avoid? Thanks, Steve

I think Robert is asking for something like the attached, as is common on may forums. Even though a thread may have minimal replies, it still shows how much interest there is in a topic based on the number of views.

Very cool truck, Shane! I've always like the Xterra, and yours is one of the nicest I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing with us. Steve

I'll toss mine in the Members Rides thread. Completely different from any of y'alls rigs, but surprisingly capable. It is a 2008 Subaru Outback 2.5 XT (turbo) Limited 5-speed manual, with 34,000 miles on the odometer. Stock, it has 8.7" ground clearance. Mine will be 10" when I upgrade struts...

Installed an ARB Touring 2500 Awning on my Outback. (See my intro thread #9350)

ARB Touring 2500 Awning on my '08 Outback. I'm 5'-8", and can just walk under it. When I mount it on the Yakima Basket, it will be about 10-12" higher. Crappy photo from above was taken through a screen, so ignore the poor quality. The awning is 8' X 8'. More photos on my SmugMug...
