    The most dangerous trail

    Be careful out there, on Monday I learned the most dangerous trail is a busy intersection, at night, with rain and fog. I didn’t think I was hit that hard, but after the accident the transmission was stuck in park (automatic). Fortunately no injuries. The driver who hit me was very young and...

    Flat vs Basket

    I have searched here, and and other places, and haven’t found what I am looking for. I am trying to see if there is any significant difference between a roof basket, and a slim-line or flat rack. I know there are many styles and designs, some very vehicle specific, some rather generic. What...

    Jeep TJ - Daily Driver / Adventure Rig

    I am considering a Jeep TJ as a daily driver / adventure rig. Can current Jeep owners let a “never owned a Jeep ... ever” person like myself know what the pros and cons are? Thanks for any response.

    Preparing for remote breakdowns

    We push our rides, even modify them to go beyond the intended limits of the manufacture. Eventually something will go wrong. For the last 18 months I have been resurrecting an Isuzu Vehicross (amazing vehicle btw) that was probably scrap yard bound when I got, and it has been going well...

    OB Talk and the web site.

    When using OB Talk for iOS (which I am liking very much) I can see and clear notification. However, when I go to the website in my computer all of the new notifications are still new and don’t clear out.

    Smallest feasible trailer?

    I have seen a lot of really cool off road trailers. Some cost thousands while other go the DIY route (which is awesome!). Some have all the goodies, even a bed, while others are little more than a camp kitchen on wheels. I realize that everyones needs/wants are different. I getting ready to...

    ABS and trails.

    A topic has come up on another board about ABS and whether or not it should be disabled while off-road. I would love to hear what every thinks about this.

    WD40 and water crossings

    I was watching a Ronny Dahl video yesterday and there was one gas engine vehicle in the mix. Before going through a particularly deep water crossing, they sprayed WD40 on the electrical connections (spark plug wires, coil, etc...). Does this really do anything to prevent water incursion? Or is...

    Has anyone bedlined their whole rig?

    I am thinking of using Mostaliner on my little Isuzu. The paint is shot anyway, and seems like a cost effective way to freshen up the old girl. If so: 1) Are you happy with it? 2) Did you do it yourself? 3) Would you do it again? 4) Did you roll or spray on? 5) What issues did you run into...

    Storing eggs

    What’s the best way to store eggs? My wife has suggested pre-cracking them into a sealable container then just “pour” the eggs as needed. Seems like it could lead to being a mess. Any ideas would be helpful.

    GA -> CO in July

    Hey OB members, I am planning a trip from Georgia to Colorado in July. I will be attending a family reunion for a couple of the days, but I also want to hit some trails while I am in Colorado (Utah maybe?). I know Colorado has a lots of trails, but what is available between GA and CO that I can...

    Menus and iOS

    As you can see the menus don’t appear correctly in portrait mode on iOS 11. Just thought I would give you a heads up.

    Watched Threads

    When you click the link for viewing watched threads, it only shows those that have new posts. I would like to suggest a change so that it shows all of the threads you are watching even if there are no new posts. It can still indicate which threads have new posts, but still show all "watched...

    New vs Used

    The debate has raged, in my circle at least, for as long as I can remember. Which is better to have, a new rig, a used one that is paid off? Without getting to esoteric about it, I will try to cover the pros and cons of each. Your feed back is, of course, most welcome. New: Pros: 1) Warrenty...

    With a $1100 budget, what upgrades from stock would you get?

    Title really says it all. In a few weeks I will have a budget of around $1100 to upgrade my ride, a 1999 Isuzu Vehicross. Who even buys those? LOL! Really I will have $1500, but I plan on using $200 for a higher output alternator as the OEM one is a measly 75Watts, and another $200 on new...

    Thank you Overland Bound Forum!

    Just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for the complete lack of elitist BS I have been dealing with on another forum. I'll be honest, when I first discovered Overland Bound, I didn't rush right out and join the forum. I did subscribe to the YouTube Channel, and would pick a video every now and again...

    Something you don't see everyday

    While currently have a 2013 Tacoma that I love, I decided that making it an overland vehicle just wasn't for me. I like things with character, and building yet another Taco Overland Rig just seemed ... meh ... Don't get me wrong, I love the Taco, and what some people transform them into is...
