I'd be interested to hear about some of the break-downs on the trail, and how you got home, one way or another. 1. Fixed it, continued on like nothing happened 2. Left the truck to get the necessary parts/tools, had to come back to fix it 3. Called help, or dragged it out on a rope and got home...

I'm going to be in the Northern Utah area, specifically SLC or Ogden area next week and have a night free on 4/23 or 4/25 and want to see if there's anything already planned, or could be planned for either of those two days? Nights work best, but I'm on Vacay and could be during the day as...

Every time I bring up the app in android, it makes me log in like I've never used it. Samsung 7 edge. Should I delete and reload the app? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using OB Talk mobile app

I got tired of tightening down my tent cover using the double d-rings with straps. They are too time-consuming and I don't think they're all that effective at staying tight enough over long drives. Many solutions went through my head, then finally I landed on what worked out to be super simple...

So I'm watching Andrew St. Pierre-White's video's on his trek across the Channing Stock Route, which by the way is on my list of tracks to drive, and he says "it's time to shower!". At this point, I kind of want to fast forward past that part, but then he gets to the coolest shower enclosure I...

I watched Michaels video about how to use Rally Point, I think I get it, but when I go to use it, it thinks that I am not a member. I logged out and back in just to be sure, still same. Any issues? Dan.

So I have been looking for quite a while at getting a trailer to move into a different phase of overlanding, and as I have done so, my priorities evolved quite a bit. I had a very broad search criteria, everything from a ruggedized tent trailer like the Jayco Baja... ...to a homebuilt...

Hey All, some friends and I took a day trip from crowded Los Angeles up to the El Paso mountains to take a walk through Burro Schmidt tunnel. An interesting landmark, the tunnel was dug by one guy in the early 1900's, took him 38 years. What perseverance! It goes all the way through a...

My company is relocating to Texas over the next year or two, the "OctoberBeast" car show has a 24 year history, this is the last one in Torrance. Several cool rigs showed up, I dragged mine out for the last show and put it into "Overland Mode". Here's the 'rear-view', I was the only one that...

I took my wife and daughter for a quick getaway up to Lone Pine last weekend. I didn't realize it, but the local, quite big, Film Festival was happening at the same time. I was pretty lucky to get a motel room. Yeah, I know, I couldn't talk the wife into camping, even with the nice weather we...

Posting a video created by my nephew, I joined them on day 3 after the Expo was over. I drove up from Flagstaff into Alstrom Point on Lake Powell. About a 24 minute video, some pretty country. Dan

If you're a Toyota fan, or even just appreciate old Japanese cars or the crazy cult-like atmosphere that's surrounds them, you'll want to hit Toyotafest 2016 in Long beach at the Queen Mary http://www.toyotaclub.org/ See you there! Dan Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Overland Bound Talk mobile app

My nephew took a trip that I was planning to attend but ultimately couldn't. He in his '80 series and two other trucks spent some days in the Maze district of Canyonlands NP. Unbelievable scenery. He made a pretty decent 28 minute video, if you have the time it's entertaining. <iframe...
