    Making Money with Overland Photography

    Drop box is great for things like that, but recently I've been sharing to Google photos. Its easy for people to add photos (most of my friends are cell-togs) and share with other people. If you don't care about the quality of the image (GP has a size limit) I recommend GP. When I get "paying...

    Project 'Yeller' Trailer Build

    How do you like the clipper? I've been eyeing them for a little while as an inexpensive (and maybe capable?) trailer. Mrs. Spaze and I are 6'+ so we are always worried about space.

    Death Valley (northern parts)

    So after planning for ~2 weeks for a trip to Utah (grand staircase) last Tuesday I called up the ranger station and asked how the weather was. They got snow and a hell of a lot of rain... which meant the roads I wanted to drive down would likely be impassable. So a quick replan and I created a...

    The Beast (Spaze's E250)

    Spent a few hours on the van this weekend wrapping stuff up for the next trip this weekend. I spent $20 on some roll bar mounts and went to town making a mount for the recovery boards and shovel. Idea is to get them out of the van, and clear out more space for fire wood, propane, and "stuff." So...

    Grant Staircase Route planning Mar 18-22

    Alright, we'll it looks like the trip has morphed a bit, since some roads are still impassable because of snow/ice. Grovenor arch, Cottonwood narrows, Toadstool Hoodoos, and newly added is a stop in white Pocket Az. Then onto Alstrom point via horseshoe bend, and maybe a quick stop in Zion on...

    Grant Staircase Route planning Mar 18-22

    As with lots of things in my life I don't plan much until the last moment. I'm planning on spending a few days running around Grand Staircase (and maybe the surrounding area?) and was wondering what is worth seeing and doing. The rig: The Beast is 2wd, but has plenty of clearance and has...

    The Beast (Spaze's E250)

    I'm still running the OE 16x7 wheels (painted black) with some 265/70R16's. They rub a little at 3/4 lock on the right fender well, but its not bad. Right now I'm running stock springs all the way around with a set of nice Bilstein shocks (5100's). The ride is SO much better than the worn out...

    1988 ('06) E350 Van Build

    Your needs are valid, and sadly there isn't much you can do about trying to get around them. For wheels/tires you could try getting OEM take offs from an F250/350 as they are usually cheap. As for the wants, if you have power, then a fan is easy, just get a box fan and call it even for a...

    US West So I am in SF and going to a Jamboree in AZ March 6th and want to do the Badge of Honor trails in SoCal on the way... so.... help?

    like @DMS1 I use google maps, and then see what parks, BLM, and other land I'm driving by. Its a pretty manual effort looking at OB, alltrails, trailsoffroad, and other sites for routes, and info about them. Thus far about the only thing I wasn't prepared for was Schnebly Hill with just how...

    The Beast (Spaze's E250)

    HA! trust me, I *WANT* a 4x4 van.... and this weekend it would have been nice. Even the Mrs mentioned about it.... Thanks for the recommendation... my big question is do I get one nicer one, or two cheaper ones? I think I could run one off the house battery and the other off the van battery...

    The Beast (Spaze's E250)

    Maybe on his trailer, but he went full #vanlife and got Havlock wool for his van (or at least the initial build). I'd love to rip out the melamine and put in shiplap boards but... if I get that far into the van, I should sell this one and start from scratch on another. I'd also love to make...
