We are running 285/75/17 ATs. I use the inflation charts from the manufactures and have always attained great and even wear netting -45-50k miles. I like keeping 65-66 lbs in the rears in our current 128 rated tires and 45-47 up front. I have a Viair 400p. It does fine with up to about...

Reviews of brand new products crack me up and probably most of us. I want to know what works well and lasts a long time. We bought our first Trasharoo in 2017. When it wasn’t on one of our journeys it was hanging in the garage. We probably used it 12 weeks a year. I treated it with Nixwax...

Two days ago we drove through Quartzsite AZ . We deeply appreciate and enjoy the southwest deserts and visit/explore/camp in the region long and often. Admittedly, we do have a preference for the 4 corners region and the Colorado plateau and we do have a preference for silence and solitude. I...

We’ve been using the iOverlander app now for 9 months. I find it infuriating that the maps on ioverlander do not match any other reliable maps- in print, nat geo, national forest maps, BLM, etc; or any reliable on line- Google Maps, NF maps, BLM maps. They also do not provide rt numbers, small...

It wasn’t too very long ago that I refused to even consider airbags as a suspension up grade for a lot of, in my narrow mindedness, good reasons. Primarily because nothing existed for pick up trucks, that even came close to performing the way air springs do on 18 wheelers. In 25 years and...

I called Napa up this morning to find out if they were able to order a set of shocks for me- after giving them the brand name and series along with part numbers, the guys asks what vehicle, year, model, driveline engine- etc etc. then after a few minutes gets back to me and says, I think we can...

Many years ago I used a LowPro daypack for all of my camera gear. It was awkward and a bit cumbersome and I didn’t feel that the contents would survive a drop. So, I gave the LowPro to my wife for her macro gear and moved all of mine into a Pelican case. I’m pretty sure the contents would...

I had a Factor 55 winch shackle on my Amazon Christmas list. They were on sale for 129 or so. Yet again Santa was a miserable failure. Last week then I went to my shopping cart to order one. The price went back up to $150 plus. So I went on line and discovered Agency 6 products. There are...

I’m on the proverbial fence. Back in the late 80s I had terrible sag on my 87 company F250. Ladder racks, side tool boxes, scaffolding, a utility trailer. Loaded most of the time. Took it to a spring shop and for a couple hundred bucks they added a couple of leafs- problem solved, truck rode...

I’ll start it- outhouses!

Coming from the Landcruiser, Jeep TJ worlds I’m having a bit of a learning curve- this springtime I will be visiting Deaver Springs in Santa Ana Ca for Jeff and his crew to add leafs to support a constant 2500 lb load. I’ve trusted this company since the late 1970s to do what is best for any...

Hmmm, I just wasted another 8 dollars in quarters at a self serve power wash bay, complete with scrub brush. Yes wasted, because a month ago got the same non results although it did knock the heavy mud off. How do full timers keep their rigs clean?

Not long ago I would not step foot in a Harbor Frieght. A few of my on and off line friends told me to not be a snob about HF and give em another go as they have stepped up their game in the past few years. I may be an old dog but OK, I’ll givem a try. So here I am with the Predator 100 watt...

We are currently in Newfoundland and planned upon going up into Labrador and using the Trans Labrador Highway to get into Quebec. However, we are seriously considering taking a little side trip before getting back into the states. I’ve read a couple of trip reports but firsthand conversation...

Newfoundland is a very interesting place with lots of great scenery. Amazingly there are no laundromats until you get over to StJohns. I mean none- fortunately we have plenty of clothes and fresh bedding that will do us an until we get to StJohns. But, to the traveler- be forewarned- bring...

After a month of camping near Rhode Island for a few nights at a time, our electrical issues have been ironed out by Main Line Overland in NH. . Shake down completed. Now in a nice site in central Maine. Only the beginning of our travels. Follow along if you’re interested in keeping up with...

10 years ago I had no idea that someday I’d be a client of MLO. Back then I was a do it yourselfer, and had my 80 and my expo trailer and plenty of time to dial everything in perfectly. MLO is also a top shelf expo rig outfitter, why would I pay them to do something that I was entirely capable...

We purchased the GuzzleH20 in preparation for our full time tour. I’ve used it a couple of times. Once as a transfer pump from a tank in the cab to the tank in the 4WC and once from a lake into the 4WC. The unit works as advertised, in fact, with an additional 25 ft of hose, we were pumping...

My wife and I have used every form of camp bedding imaginable, starting with cheap foam pads and army surplus bags, ( we were young and didn’t care) an air mattress and army surplus bags, (still young and not caring) cots with thermarest pads and comfortable sleeping bags- ( in our late 50s and...
