    Central CA coastal & mountains camping/overlanding recommendations (Ventura to Pismo corridor)

    I can't believe I'm forced to write this post. I'm scheduled to go on a Baja tour (Bob Wohler) early June. Unfortunately, my F350 just blew a shock (Carli Pintop lift, King shocks) and I'm scrambling to orchestrate a rebuild on a tight schedule. My parts are in the work queue at...

    Baja guidance needed

    Hola. I'm heading out early MAR for a quick overnighter near Ensenada, tentatively Punta Banda/La Bufadora. I see a few YouTubers posted amazing footage in that area. Does anyone have access/campsite details? I see El Mirador, Campo #7, and Cthulhu Temple sites on Google Maps. Can anyone...

    Carbon monoxide question

    I’ve been wondering what constitutes adequate ventilation when using a very small butane heater inside my AT Habitat camper shell. When I solo camp I don’t deploy the Habitat tent, as there’s enough space to sleep on my truck bed floor. If I crack the sliding window (adjacent to truck cab) is...

    OE West road trip - Wickenberg AZ question

    I’m leaving San Diego 9/23 afternoon for OE West. I’m thinking about pausing for the evening in Wickensberg. I’ll be with my son and we’ll sleep in my truck camper (AT Habitat). Does anybody know that area well enough to recommend a place to disperse camp? We’ll probably arrive in the dark...

    Latest trek - Parashant, North Rim

    Im just getting around to sharing pics from my recent trip. My best friend flew in from OH and we joined Bob Wohler's Parashant caravan, and added a few extras (solo) on either side. It was a blast and my F350 delivered. Destinations included St. George, UT (Toquerville Falls, Sand Canyon...

    Hot water, shower solution

    I posted pics of my RoadShower 4 unit a couple weeks ago. It's a pressurized water vessel that I use inside my truck camper as a water source. While at OE West, I bought a portable propane water heater at the Equipt booth. It's a super compact unit made by Karibe, which I believe is a South...

    San Diego bound for OE West 2019

    Here's a standalone thread for those of us driving to Overland Expo West from the San Diego area. I'm currently planning to leave Encinitas early morning May 16 (THUR). I haven't yet plotted out any details, but I may camp THUR night somewhere near Black City Canyon. That's a little north of...

    Super Duty bumpers input

    Hello. I’m curious what experience our community has with after market bumpers for 2017+ Super Duty trucks. There are many choices and I’m committed to replacing both front and rear over the next few months. I haven’t yet landed on a permanently mounted winch or one I can move between front and...

    I’m still on the front end of my build, but it’s coming together nicely. Still in front of me is bumpers, a mild lift, and some new tires eventually.

    Super Duty Roof Rack options 2017/18

    By chance, has anyone seen a decent cargo basket option for a 2017 Crew Cab F350? The only stuff I can find online is Thule/Yakima/Rhino bars, which snug fit into the door jam and doesn't hold much weight. I'm not opposed to going the custom route, but also don't want to drain my pocketbook on...
