    US East Western Virginia Monthly Meetup

    Thanks for the invite! Hope you are all well, we have no covid in the family but tons of huge changes... now working construction due to all of the covid shutdowns. Am still in Roanoke & plan on making rally point & catch up.

    Overlanding for cheaper than your cousin's brother in law builds

    For future modding, there's LOTS of space behind the side panels in the cargo area. I had 8" subs in mine on plywood panels with auto carpet covering the wood. If I still had it I would build some storage bins. At least it makes a great out of the way install for electronics (inverter, extra...

    Are you a day tripper, Weekender, Weeker, Full Timer?

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    Just a thought - if you want to go for a diesel build, Thermo King refrigerated truck trailers ran an Isuzu 4 cyl. diesel, don't know if it was the same engine Isuzu used overseas. The GM 6 should be a much simpler swap and parts are not an issue - although never seen one.

    I needed a center console - An idea is born

    And there's room for a cushion for the dog to ride on too! I don't have as much space, but am thinking of a console made from a steel tool box since I have several extras.

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    So my '99 4x4 Taco is all stock, been using it that way for the past 2 years. Only problem really is sagging rear suspension. Will fix that this spring with some aftermarket upgrades. I"m also going to stick with the stock 15" wheels! This vehicle has met my needs for camping, fire roads, &...

    Overlanding with "stock" 4X4

    I had a trooper, same body style, loved it. Put BFG All-Terrains and go most anywhere. LOTS of flex in stock suspension. My head gasket kept going out, so it was sold... still miss it sometimes! Only downside is no aftermarket goodies, so you get to be creative!

    New Opus 15 Hybrid Overland Trailer!

    Looks like they copied the Earth Cruiser layout & put it on a trailer. Nice but I don't want to pull a trailer myself.

    RTT vs Awnings with walls

    Like the 270 awning designs that are available now. Saw a lot of them at the RTT rally. Looking to upgrade my camper shell for a little more height and flat roof for a rack, then add a 270 to cook in and hang out if weather is bad. I have a platform/drawer system in the bed that is working...

    Android GPS Radio headunit

    Want to see what you end up with, I'm still all '99 factory (cassette/radio)! Time to upgrade at least to a bluetooth unit so I can take calls while driving. The ability to have built in nav is very appealing.

    Bow saw or other for small firewood chores?

    Always carry a Sven Folding Saw, lightweight, compact, can handle most firewood.

    THANKS, Just got this, have guests from out of town. Questions: Is the time correct? 12:30 AM? If I leave right now, I might be there on time. Difficulty: very hard - don't know that my stock Taco is up for that? Thanks, Steve
