    Are refrigerator/freezer covers worth it?

    If you have it inside a vehicle having some vent shades on the windows with the windows slightly lowered will keep the interior 20 to 30 degrees cooler and help the fridge also.

    Is the Overlanding community killing itself

    Camping for 6 decades I am naturally drawn to the old ways of doing things and enjoying reliving the good old days. I am also glad that new people are reconnecting with nature and learning what most of us have always known. Nature rejuvenates us all. ONe of my favorite songs is 3 Dog Nights OUt...

    2002 International Utility Vehicle - Talk me out of it

    There is a similar sized IH dual cab with a flat bed near me that has been sitting for sale for a few months. In the back of my mind I thought it could pack any size pickup camper with ease or be great for a custom build. Oh the possibiloties.

    Honda Pilots are Terrible Off-Road

    I wish Honda would do something like they did on their ATVs for years without a transfer case. They would put a super deep 1st gear in them so you could still climb stuff but at a slower speed.

    2022 Power Wagon build

    I have used this drawer/platform system on my last 3 pickups. I use the front slot in the bed and the fender well slots to slide some 2x8 or 2x10s. These then hold some 3/4 inch wafer board for a sleeping platform. Under the sleeping platform I have made a 4 foot by 6 foot drawer that use 4...

    2022 Power Wagon build

    Next i added some Icky concepts Molle panels inside the truck bed. They sit out just far enough from the bed that I can put shovels, small rotopaks, tarps etc. behind them giving me double the space of most Molle panels I have seen. I can carry 5 rotopaks on panels inside the bed and a couple of...

    2022 Power Wagon build

    First up on the PW was to increase tire size from 33 to 35. I chose not to go to 37 even though with the new wheels and offset I could. I feel like I loose too much power and gas mileage if I did. I am building this for a capable overlander and not interested in being a rock crawler. I went with...

    2022 Power Wagon build

    I ordered my Power Wagon back in Feb of 2022 and it showed up the end of May. This won't be my first build but will certainly be my most expensive. I will show a few of the rigs I have built up in the last 10 years first and then get into more pictures and details of this build. First is a 2001...

    IMPORTANT!! The BLM wants to close public lands!

    Everyone should join the Blue Ribbon Coalition. I am a lifetime member and the government has really accelerated trail restrictions since the mid 90s. Lets keep the trails open and enjoy them responsibly.
