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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
I moved from Nikon to Sony about 2 years ago now... and this is what I roll with.

Sony 70-200mm G OSS f/4 - I fall in love with this lens the more I use it
Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 - My carrying around lens, its ok... and I should probably work more with it. It makes me miss my 16-85mm...
DV is awesome....

As for the wheels/tires, the one and done purchase gets you what you want/need and you don't need to buy/sell a set on the way.... thats the easy button
You get condensation with your buddy heater? When we use it we do...
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...
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...
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...
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...
