Thanks for posting, this thread is great! Ok, go easy but please tell me if I’m about to blow up my Jeep… I have a Victron Orion 12-24v 15amp DC to DC charge controller wired directly to my starter battery under the seat of my Jeep. I think it’s 8 awg wire. It charges my Goal Zero Yeti 1000...

It's funny you say that, the LX has taken longer than I thought with the fabricator and I'm now considering selling my daily driver BMW 3 series convertible and buying a Tundra as well. I'd look at the Tacoma's but need the front bench seat for my wife and kids. We have four.

It's taken longer with the fabricator than I anticipated but here's a few more update photos. There's a few photos of the rear bumper progress and one when I took it for a spin briefly before it had a front bumper. It will have a custom rear swing out tire carrier and a super winch in the front.

I was looking at 4 wheel campers Hawk model.

Has anyone tried to put a roof-top tent on top of a pop-up truck camper? I have a fairly large family and I like the idea of a truck camper instead of a trailer however I need more sleeping capacity. I'm curious if the pop-up mechanism is strong enough to support the weight of the tent and...

Would love to join the next one. I'll be out of town this time.

Hey everyone, I'm new to Overland Bound and overlanding. As I'm going through upgrading my truck and everyone I know asks if I'm having a midlife crisis, I thought it might be nice to share with a community that understands! So, I decided to start a build thread here. I bought a 1999 LX470...

Ha! Not for me... I think you just changed my mind on considering RTT's again!

Great points. I don't have one yet and just got back from a trip this weekend with our old faithful ground tent. If I had a RTT I would have had to be stuck on the road instead of in the beautiful meadow 100 yards away (Forest ranger kicked the vehicles out). After that, I'm leaning toward...

I just bought a Snomaster Expedition Series based on some online reserch, YouTube review comparisons. It wasn't even on my list before that. I was thinking Dometic. I'll be using the Snomaster this weekend for the first time with a Goal Zero 1000. My solar panel is on back order so hoping to...

I just bought a 1999 Lexus LX470 weekend camping toy I'm working on. I have fair size family (wife + 4) so butts take up most of the space inside, gear needs to go on top. I'm mostly surprised at how low most of the ratings are. The Gobi and the Eezi-Awn K9 were the highest load ratings I've...

Warning: I'm a newbie! I've been researching roof racks and I've noticed they have load ratings that vary wildly. Specifically, Eezi-Awn K9 claims 500lbs dynamic and 1000 lbs static, which seems sufficient to put a roof top tent with my wife and I in it and maybe a kid or two (I have four!)...
