    US West Long Canyon Trail, El Dorado National Forest Clean Up and Maintenance.

    Hey it was great meeting all of you today. Sorry I had to bail early. I got a check engine light coming up that last hill and didn’t want to risk getting the rig stuck out there. I look forward to seeing you again at one of the regular meetings. I’ve attached some pics from the outing today...

    US West Long Canyon Trail, El Dorado National Forest Clean Up and Maintenance.

    Planning to make this one and meet some of the members. I have a couple things to do on the rig before taking it off trail again but should be able to get it done in time for the trip. Looking forward to this.

    Where did you install your OB emblem?

    Jade has a lot of curves so the c-pillar seemed like the best place for the emblem on the 3rd Gen 4Runner.

    SF Peninsula Caravan to Overland Bound Rally West 2018- Oct 5 - 7. - 10/05/2018

    Change of plans. It's more efficient for us to meet you guys in Los Banos. See you there instead of Gilroy.

    SF Peninsula Caravan to Overland Bound Rally West 2018- Oct 5 - 7. - 10/05/2018

    Coming from Watsonville. Rather than slog over 152 to Gilroy we are going to either meet up with you guys in Los Banos or hijack the convoy as you roll past Casa de Fruita.

    Recommendation for Air Compressor When on the Trail

    I absolutely love my Viair 88P compressor. It takes about 3 min to go from 15-30 on a 32" tire. It has a 10 ft power cord with clamps and a 16 ft hose that lets me place it near the center of the vehicle and inflate all 4 tires without having to move the unit around. I purchase it bare bones...

It is considerably stiffer than stock and improved handling. eliminated rear sag and still provides a reasonable...

    Vintage Overland & Camping Photos

    Thin tires rule in mud. I had assumed early Ford Model Ts had a spool rear end or solid axle but apparent;y some or all had a differential. Simply amazing performance, and amazing thread. Thanks for sharing. Funny how ideas and inventions get recycled and re-imagined every few decades, and...
