    What to take when off the road?

    I think I'm going to need a couple days to process what the heck I just watched.

    Airing down E load tires.

    E- rated KO2s. 35 psi on-road, 18 off. I never go over 50 mph with aired down tires.

    Dual battery for Gen 5 Rav4 (2019)

    Yep. I custom built mine using cells to fit a specific space, but you probably will be buying a cell/BMS built battery (like Battleborn although you should be able to find cheaper options). Checking out Will Prowse on youtube might be able help out about batteries (and if you want to build one)...

    Interior MOLLE Panels - Useful or Gimmick

    I would love to find some MOLLE Panels that run underneath the seat and the style you have installed. I installed Greyman Tactical panels on the doors and has been great so far. I also use a seat back molle panel with some success, where I keep survival equipment. The only panel I don't use...

    Under Armor advice

    Tires, then sliders. Before I started throwing a lot of armor on your rig, really consider if you definitely need it, depending on the trails you intend to go on. You have to consider the weight penalty you will have that may force a suspension upgrade if you get too crazy. I'm fully armored...

    Dual battery for Gen 5 Rav4 (2019)

    Probably the best solution would be a LiFePO4 battery (due to weight and power capacity). You power it with a DC/DC charger (which you can turn on through the ignition, a manual switch, or a series of both). Definitely fuse the positive at each point. Then you wire the fuse box close to that to...

    GVM + mods + gear = ?

    Close to GVWR? Haha! I'm running 800 pounds over stock, and I don't carry most of the gear people run (refrigerators, RTT, etc.) Had to upgrade the suspension to handle all of the weight. I am however fully armored. One of the biggest eye openers is loading everything up, filling the gas tank...

    Tire Recommendations on 2006 Xterra 4WD MT

    I ran Toyos prior my current tire (BFG KO2). I ran the lighter tire but I'd probably go with the E-rated simply for the reinforced sidewall. One, because you will be running a little overweight, and two because I'd imagine you'd want a better sidewall for protection, and because you'll be airing...

    US East Vermont Overland Event - "The Pilgrimage" - Sept 2021

    Heh. Was wondering what happened to it! Went 2019 & 2020 and will certainly have to see if I can get the time off this year.

    UP Michigan

    Yikes! Glad you made it home safely though. Will the 2k pickup be earning a place of honor at your place or is the plan to drive it back up and sell it when the Titan is ready? I am sometimes amazed by how nice people can be.

    Love the UP. Can't wait to go back in September. What happened to the truck?

    Test Kitchen rated a bunch of high end coolers

    I actually ditched the cooler and kitchen set up out of frustration of setting up, cleaning, and tearing down (not to mentioned extra space). I considered creating a whole "Ingenious collapsing quick setup kitchen" but couldn't justify the weight gain with building everything and the space...

    Test Kitchen rated a bunch of high end coolers

    When I bring a cooler its freezing as much of the contents as possible, pre-cooling, and ice packs. But when you're starting to get up in the higher end coolers you're also getting pretty close to considering upgrading to a lower capacity fridge (given you don't need the space for ice).

    Next upgrade suggestions

    Definitely agree on the first aid kit. Myself I'd put together a Beach/Boo-Boo kit that I'd attach to the headrest and then a more substantial kit somewhere else. Might also consider a fire extinguisher (I carry a standard one in the rear and two Element Fire Extinguishers attached under each...

    Ford Maverick and the small overlanding pickup truck

    I'm not sure about overlanding in it (the AWD isn't as good as the Bronco Sport Badlands version which is pretty impressive for what it is). However, at its price point it may check a lot of boxes off to make it a compelling second vehicle for home owners. I'm even considering it.

    Finally got to meet @NHMachinist which was a pleasure, but other than that...usual suspects.

    Calling all NH people.

    Just reminding people about the meetup this Sunday @ 1200. The GF and I will be there! Naturally I'll be a little sleepy from working the night prior, but looking forward to seeing the usual suspects and new people.
