ive been looking to buy the right Defender for awhile. As I troll various sites in search of the perfect rig I keep seeing fully outfitted Discovery IIs for half the price. Should I consider settling for the equipped Discovery or stick it out in order to get the rig I've always wanted, then...

The return home from Off the Grid 2016 took myself and Neil (@B Wild) north on the California's coast along Hwy 1. On this route we encountered a group of overlanders unlike most, if not all. A group of Veterans, two of which were amputees overlanding in 4-wheel drive wheel chairs, traveling...

The possibility of an emergency always exist. Most of us carry a first aid kit and fire extinguisher. I guess what I'm wondering if members carry signal horns, flares, signal mirror, etc? And in an emergency, how would you feel about using flares in a fire prone area? Personally, I carry all...

Here's my dilemma, which I'm sure many of you face - when you can't afford to buy needed safety equipment, should you look for short cuts? Let me give an example. I think most would agree that a winch is a desired tool out on the trail. Recently, I bought and installed a Warn Winch only to...

I've spent many days and nights in the back country and know how to take a sh*t in the back country. Being a newbie to large group outings, aside from a year in one middle eastern desert, how do we do the duty during OTG? I'm pretty sure, although not certain, port-a-potties won't be flown in...

It may have been done before, and/or suggested by someone else, but I first read the suggestion in a forum by Northern_XS. My member number is attached in reflective numbers on the front windshield (as shown) and in black letters on the rear tailgate. The intention is to make radio...

Greetings. I'm a new member so this is my fist attempt to use forums. I have a 2011 Toyota Tacoma 2.7 regular cab. It has a fiberglass canopy upon which I'd like to mount a rack, ARB canopy (1250 I think), a light bar, and rear work lights. I was considering using a Yakima system to include...
