    El Dorado BDR (partial)

    Some photos from a quick trip last weekend with my wife and dog, our first time exploring the Sierras. I skipped the technical Jeep trails since we were a solo vehicle and I’ve never done them before, but still got had a great time on some of the rougher areas. The drive up to Hawkins peak was...

    Novice DIY suspension install?

    Hey All, especially the mechanics among us.. I have a 2021 4Runner and the next mod I'm considering is a suspension upgrade. My goal is to do as much of my rig build myself as possible. This isn't so much to save money but for the fun and learning experience. I'm reasonably handy and have a...

    It looks like the OZtent Eyre series is an entry-level version of the RX series. Does anyone have any experience with them? They aren’t exactly cheap, but at several hundred dollars less than a similar-sized RX, I’m curious what the trade offs are.. Kris

    SF Peninsula 4x4 shop recs?

    OB1 app "Bug" reports ONLY

    Not sure it this is the right place for bug reports. If there is a better place for this let me know & I’ll resubmit… There seems to be a problem using OB1 on more than one device at a time. I have an iPad and an iPhone and I use OB1 on both of them. The problem is, after I access it on one...

    Learning to wrench for field repairs and DIY installs

    It seems a big part of the fun (for some anyway) is building out your overland vehicle exactly as you want it, with your own hands. Also, the nature of overlanding means being ready to make repairs in the field. I’m reasonably handy, but have very little experience working on automotive...
