Welcome. Whether you are looking for a day of Wheelin’, a Wilderness Weekend Escape, or Wishing for that Wayward Adventure, this meetup is for you. This will be the first, of a hopefully monthly, meetup for those interested in discussing all things overlanding. A Rally Point, where you can...

Asking $1850.00 Local pickup only. Includes an extra color-matched canopy, brand-new in box! It's like two tents for the price of one! Tent shipped from manufacturer with a small snag in entry panel zipper, still works though and never needed to replace it. Cover screen-printed logos are...

Last weekend camping in the wet cold in east Texas was a good reminder of the gear that I had and the gear that I wish I had. First off having my Mr. Heater was a game changer. I wouldn't have been able to sit in my camp chair and enjoy being outside without this. Also it didn't rip through my...

Hey All, I am relatively new to communication equipment. I used to have CB in my last vehicle but never really used it much because most of my buddies use handheld radios for trail comms. I am looking at adding permanent comms to my new rig and was curious if there was something that would be...

Hello all! I recently bought a new (to me) 2009 Silverado 5.3L. I'm looking to make it an overland build. I previously had an old 4runner that I loved, but sold it to a friend who was in need of an adventuring rig and bought this thing to to also help with other parts of my life. I know that i...

This is a chance to meet other overlanders and do a little sliding down a hill on your choice of skis, snowboards or tubes

Hey I’m Joseph, I’m looking for vehicle that could support my journey across the west coast, I will be hauling gear like surf boards, spearGuns, fishing poles, Water, Refrigerator, cooking equipment, SUP. I could be in the road for a year or more. I have a pretty flexible budget but not...

For the JK Jeepers! I found MPAC online a few months ago while searching for a tailgate table. The cost was right for the quality they seemed to offer. I noticed the table was versatile with the addition of molle holes and rugged with a nice powder coat finish. I decided to give the company a...

No money for those fancy drawer setups, and it's way too cold outside to build anything. I can afford a 5 gallon bucket and a cheap tool belt from Walmart though. "System" stores everything but the dry goods stuff (which will be in another 5 gallon), and it takes up much less room in the truck...

Not counting vehicle purchases for obvious reasons. What single piece of kit made the biggest difference or improvement to your overlanding experience?

If you re living in a place where sand and dirt primary occupies more terrain than hills and rocky mountains then you should look into this piece of recovery gear. This works in all terrain environments however trapped on a beach or in the dunes alone could cost you more than a cold night. Sup...

Hi all, Started looking for some D-rings or Shackles this week and not sure what to look for. None of the shops around here have much of anything in stock to actually look at and with the county wide power outage yesterday not much open to browse on my day off anyways. What are the Pros/Cons...

I am traveling through the Sierras this week and weather forecast is expecting up to 8 inches of snow, Should I be worried? what gear besides chains and basic tools should I have? Car: Stock jeep rubicon (JKU), Stock tires (BFGoodrich's mud-terrain T/A KM).

Hi fellow OLB'ers! I'm constantly buying and selling just about anything and everything on Ebay. And just like many of you, I can appreciate saving some money on decent quality gear. I'm going to try and keep this post/thread up to date as frequently I can so check back from time to time...

So, I have a Tepui Ruggedized Autana 3. It came with a nice big annex, but I've never used it... usually camp in one spot, pack up in the morning, explore all day, then find a new camp spot and deploy the tent and sleep. I want to hear how often you use your annex. Do you only use them when...

As I've outfitted my overland rig, I've adopted a backpacker-like mantra of maximizing versatility and minimizing size and weight. This is something of a necessity; my BJ42 is not very large, and not powerful either. On the other hand, this has pushed me to find some really clever and unique...

This is version 3 of an SUV Cargo Storage deck that I’m calling a Drawerless Drawer System, and I think I’m done for now. Here's the build video with full process. At the end I address the critical measurements. Keep reading below for more build details and measurements for a 3rd gen 4runner...

I'm not talking about armor or lift kits, bumpers or roof racks, but the little extras that make you smile because they are just cool or make your rig stand out in your mind...
