    Pandemic Purchases....aka "Retail Therapy"

    You made me go back and look because I had a photo of my in front of a 172 :) This one is a Maule MX-7. Fun plane to fly! I hope you're able to make your dream a reality again one day soon.

    Welcome! I lived in Sparta for a good portion of my young life. Long time ago, though :)

    Pandemic Purchases....aka "Retail Therapy"

    Bought a Dobinsons 2.5/1.5 suspension for my 4Runner this weekend. Oh, and a winch bumper from Victory 4x4. That'll keep me busy for a while (once they arrive). Another one of those "sneak up on it" purchases.

    Where did you install your OB emblem?

    I’d thought about it, or better yet black trim paint, but I don’t think the laser-etched member ID has enough depth to it that any coating wouldn’t cover up and make unreadable.

    New 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium

    Hi everyone, Just bought a new 4Runner on Friday night. Still stock (of course) but pondering my next moves. Should be great fun! When I saw photos of the stock tires, I thought, “Great, street tires.” But they’re actually fairly impressive for an OEM M+S tire. Not at all what I thought...

    Equipment Maintenance in the Rust Belt

    It seems like everything one would attach to a vehicle is a place to collect salt — and therefore rust. One thing that comes to mind for the more hardcore overlanders and 4WDers is bash/skid plates, especially the really large full-coverage plates. For those who have them, do you find that you...

    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    That's a lot like how I envision my Ram. Nicely done!

    Preordered my Rivian R1T this weekend

    Yeah, I'm still on the fence. I might just buy two 4-Runners instead :)

    Rivian R1T at Expo West Q & A

    I went for the truck. I do dig the SUV, though. From what I've read and reviewed, you can't get the 400-mile range out of the SUV, though, since there's not enough room for the additional batteries.

    Preordered my Rivian R1T this weekend

    At least put down my $1000. I’m thoroughly intrigued by this critter. Price list and options aren’t out yet, so that’ll likely be the determining factor. $69K to start, and probably close to $90K to get somewhere (range options). That’s tough to swallow. But then again, any new truck with any...

    Cutting down road noise....

    There are a few DynaMat-type products out there that vary in price. Another option is a spray-on product like Lizard Skin or similar: https://www.lizardskin.com/ Maybe something like a Rustoleum bed liner spray in a rattle can? The idea is to dampen the metal's resonance. Perhaps that's a...

    GAIA and apple car play

    Are you using Gaia on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad) or a Surface Pro? Apple CarPlay is an iOS-only feature (Android Auto is the equivalent for Android mobile devices). If you're using a Surface, then you'll probably want to find a mount of some sort that will fit it and place it in the vehicle...

    YouTube - How to Drive 4X4

    I’d never heard of overlanding a short three months ago. Then I watched that video at the recommendation of another. Now I can’t stop watching his and others on the Interwebz. I’m hooked! And my wife thinks I have a mental disorder. Not sure they’re entirely related, though.

    Howdy from Milwaukee

    I’m slowly learning about places you can take things off pavement in Wisconsin. Not as wide open as the western US, but there seems to be a few places we can go.
