    Build/overland/4x4 stuff: 1989 Raider, 2010 Sequoia, and other projects

    @irish44j This thread keeps me coming back to OB in the off season. I like small-scale builds and yours is very sophisticated, every thing purpose-designed, clean and tidy. Detailing the troubleshooting process on the forum might be boring to you at times, but nerds like me enjoy following the...

    US Southeast Annual Uwharrie Run

    OK, now I'm starting to be concerned. I set up at the same camp site as last year (off 576) yesterday and saw none of the group all day or night, then today saw none all day. Ran all of the trails except Daniel (which I started eastbound, but backed out because I only had my rig and didn't...

    Most Expensive Thing That You Have Broken

    Well, @grubworm, you just won this thread. I don't think anybody else will be able to rival that, but I could be wrong...

    All right boys, I have arrived. I unloaded my rig at Wolf Den and am heading for the camp site.

    @JJbyrd Yeow, I hope he makes a full recovery! I'll pray for the fella and his folks.

    Might want to mark yourself as "Not Going" so as to eliminate confusion!

    Is the Overlanding community killing itself

    If you want her to stay looking like that, overlanding isn't the way! Let's all be honest here; no matter how much money you make, life is expensive. You make more, you spend more. Does quality of life improve? You decide. Finding your ideal balance of effort, convenience, freedom, and...

    What is the best piece of advice you can give a new overlander?

    @ThundahBeagle I mean, it might be a bit embarrassing if somebody found out you watched 163 hamster videos before your tour of the Netherlands.

    @North American Sojourner Marvelous! I like a good forest, swamp, or bog.

    Is the Overlanding community killing itself

    Well, I think the "overlanding" community would have a good laugh at this thread. Imagine people arguing about whether or not the community is killing itself, in a thread about the overlanding community killing itself. That's kind of what should be expected, and yet is somehow ironic.

    Music and Overlanding

    @Dave in AZ The more annoying the genre, the louder it has to be played!

    US Southeast Annual Uwharrie Run

    @JJbyrd Locked gates? No problem, use it as an opportunity to test your backing skills. I think learning to drive in reverse is equally important to learning to drive forward. In fact, if anybody challenged me to it, I'd lead Wolf Den in reverse when we get together at the spot. As long as...

    US Southeast Annual Uwharrie Run

    If anybody comes up with specific trails they want to run, we could make a list of "musts" and "mights". I like to start with Wolf Den because it's pretty tame but has some high-center checks that will give first-timers to Uwharrie an idea of what to expect on the other trails. I'm not going...

    Post a pic, make a new photo challenge!

    I didn't get a decent pic of this (hard to get pics of wheels in the air when you're driving) but it wasn't the only time on that trip. Let's see another rig with wheels in the air, I know somebody has a better pic than this!
