So, my current build is a 2023 Subaru Outback. I love this car and it is going to be fun. One issue though is, the interior is not designed to "Add" additional radios and gear. Because it has an 11.6in center mounted touch screen, I can do most stuff like GPS though the touch screen (Android...

So, for the last several years I have been using Suburbans for my Camping/Overland rigs. I had a 1990 2500, and then a 2008 2500. I still have the 2008 2500, but with the cost of fuel, its size and several other factors, I am going to reserve its use for towing our travel trailer. I needed a...

Normally a Roof Top Tent does not work for my wife and I. We have a big dog that sleeps with us, and we both have joint issues that do not allow a RTT to work for us. However, we are wanting to do a trip with my daughter (30 years old) and her small dog. I have a ground tent and all the needed...

This may seem like a silly thing to ask, as I just got my new fridge. However I got that for my 08 Suburban, loads of room. I am keeping it, but adding a 2023 Outback to my fleet. For many reasons a RTT and Ground tent do not work for us, we need to sleep in the car. With this, there is just not...

One thing I have noticed on the last rides I have done, is a lack of knowledge of what to do when things go wrong mechanically. Things like tire issues, blown beads, punctures, etc. I also notice a lack of knowledge of what tools to carry, and how to use them. There are a lot of resources for...

I have read that you need to size the rope based on the weight of the vehicle you want to recover. However I understand there is a formula, i.e. 3x the weight of you vehicle. So, when searching for a rope, I get 7/8in rated from 21K up to 30K lbs. 1in seems to be 33K+. GVWR of my 2008 2500...

So, I have been wanting to get a kayak for several years now and I just have not pulled the trigger yet. I moved to an area that there are quite a few small lakes with access to non-motorized boats. While there are also rivers, I don't want to do river Kayaking. My budget is $200-400 and this...

As I am working through the downsizing of my gear and re-thinking things, I have changed the stove I use from the larger Coleman 425 to a slimmer Colman that uses the green tanks. I love my 425, but it is large and has limitations. But you can't beat the smell, memories. Anyway, my new stove...

I did a search and read that there are people here with Ascents, but no info on how well they work. Also, can any one tell me if the back area is big enough to sleep 2? I want to put a platform in one and not have to use a RTT.

OK, I know that everyone just digs a hole and does what the bears do. However, I travel with my wife and this is not an option for various reasons that are not important right now. My current set-up is a "Luggable-Loo". I use the Campco bags with the jell powder, but no matter what I try, there...

My last rig was a 1990 Suburban 2500. I loved that rig, but my wife did not. It started to have some transmission issues, and it just was not a great rig to tow my 30 ft travel trailer. It only had 190hp stock and to fix the trans, add power, fix some other issue was more than I wanted t spend...

A few years ago I bought a 1990 Suburban, outfitted it with a bed in the back, and all the other gear. I built several versions of the platform and in the end my wife and I decided that we liked the mattress as close to the floor as possible so we could sit up while in bed. This allows us to...

Come explore Washington's great outdoors. The WABDR is a 575 mile route through scenic Washington. We start in Stevenson Wa. near the Bridge of the Gods and drive North through the lush green southern forests. Near Yakima we cross over the Cascades and venture into he high deserts and warn sunny...

As much as I hate to part with it, I can't own 2 Suburbans. So, I am selling my 1990 GMC Suburban 2500 4X4. All stock and rust free. This is a NW truck and is currently in Yakima Washington. The body is in great shape with only one dent that looks like it was from a gate hitting it on the left...

I have always been a fan of the Square Body Suburban and trucks. So, I was thrilled a few years ago when I got a 1990 GMC 2500 Suburban. I have used it on a few trips and it worked great. However, as time has gone on I have come to see that it really does not work as well for me as I would like...

We did this last year, but My wife was in a lot of pain and I had to quit 3 days in. I would like to try this again this year and looking for other to go along. My plan will be the same as last year, however this year I want to avoid deep muddy section near Bethel Ridge, just use the bypass. We...

Has anyone found a stereo that allows you to view Gaia on the dash? Maybe something that works through Apply Play? With the limited space it would be nice to be able to link the Gaia maps to a in-dash system. Does it exist?

As everyone knows keeping food cold in very important on the trail. As much as I would like a fridge, there are a lot of reasons right now that I am not getting one. However I do need a good quality cooler. I am sure everyone is familiar with the Yeti and RTIC brand coolers. I am too and also...

I know for many of you, you can get Molle panels for your truck/SUV/Jeep fairly easy. If you own one of the very popular rigs, there are aftermarket companies that cater to you. However for those of us that drive something unique or different there are no ready made parts for us. I wanted to...

I had been reading about the Air Armor air compressors several months back. They seemed really good and I though I would buy one someday. I was in my local auto parts store and they had one, so I picked it up. However, before I opened it up I found out that I got the M1A1, 15amp cigarette light...
