Hey guys. I am looking at the possibility of a job transfer from here in NC to just on the west side of Fort Worth, TX. I'm farily familiar with Texas and the DFW area and have some family there but it's mostly been vacations here and there over the last 15 or 20 years. What is the Overland...
Anyone else going? They posted an event over on Facebook. It's not my event but I'm planning on going. It's going to be at Down East Offroad on 1/23 from 9am-11am.
Looks like some nice upgrades over the regular FX4 package. Especially the front limited slip option. This is exactly what they needed. The FX4 package was definitely lacking compared to competitor top models without making the jump to a raptor. Plenty of tech goodies too...
I have a few days off to burn this month and I'm off most of the week. Thinking of taking a day trip up Old NC 105 and maybe some other quick trails in the area. Just doing a day trip with the kid's and having some fun. If anyone is in the area or anything feel free to hit me up!
Overland Rig meetup! we've has a great success getting together and hanging out and different breweries in the Triangle. October we can do Norse Brewing! They have a full Resturant on site too with awesome food. Parking may be a little funky but I'll be in contact with the owner to figure out...
Got back from Covington, VA on Sunday from the Adventure X Fest event that swas Sept 11-13. Had an absolute blast. Quick recap of the event timeline:
Got in Friday afternoon just before the gates opened at 1500 and check out humpback bridge. Very awesome bridge you can walk on. One of the...
What are you all using to get the power to your auxiliary items? I am going to be installing a midland GRMS radio in the truck and eventually some lighting as well. Back in the day i used to just run a fused lead off the battery. I'm sure there's a littler cleaner and more appropriate way to...
So i wanted to share a product i came across. It's called the GoToob+. I picked up two different size ones from REI. The 3oz and 6oz. The plan is to use them for my dish soap, and my avacado oil for my cast iron cooking. So far they are fantastic. They come in a bunch of different sizes and...
So I think I'm going to put together a small/medium sized tote with spare Fluids to keep in the truck. Figured I'd list them out, let me know if I'm missing or off on anything:
3 quarts of oil (truck takes 5)
5 quarts trans fluid (truck takes 13)
1 container of antifreeze
1-2 cans of brake...
So i'm on the fence about going with a Fox Stage 1 setup which is 2.0 coil overs for the front and smoothies for the rear or if i should bite the bullet and go with a 2.5 setup in the front and 2.0's in the rear from either Fox or Icon. Cost difference is about $6-$700. Rig is a full size F150...

**EDIT** Making this a general post your recovery gear bag post. Feel free to share, and ask questions, tell us what you carry in yours.
Just thought I'd share my recovery gear bag. It's actually and EMS bag from First Tactical that I've repurposed. It's waterproof and highly configurable...
Hey all, looking to add a radio for the rig, not really set on any type, but trying to figure out where most in the industry are going? I would have assumed that CB was the old standby but now i'm seeing things like VHF, MURS, Sattelite coms, Mesh networks etc. Is it worth it going the CB route...
Signed up for the Adventure X-Fest In Covington VA 9/11-9/13. Curious if anyone else is going or is interested in going? I'm heading by myself at the moment so hoping to meetup with a few people there. Sounds like a damn good time. The Vegabonds will be doing a show as well.

Found a great youtube channel for those just getting started in NC. I have no affiliation AT ALL with this channel but just stumbled across it last week. For anyone who is in NC and wants to get a better idea of some places out there and what some trails are like its a pretty good resource...
Like the title says. Why did you or are you gething into everything overland? What drives you to spend the money on the vehicles and gear? Overlanding is different things to different people but I'm curious to her some stories from folks on what got them into it and why they do it?
I myself...
So I'm trying to determine on the outback if I would be better served using the front and rear factory tow points as a recovery spot and or to pull others out of a spot or if I should put a d ring in the trailer hitch reciever and use that at least as a rear tow point? Should I use one or the...
Thought some of you all might find this interesting/useful while trying to find places to go...
