Chris - Your trip, writing and photographs are inspiring.
For your photography. may I suggest looking up the "rule of thirds".

Probably late to this thread, but I have 8" LEDs on the sides and rear of my rig, with PIA old schools for driving. I like the look and ease of the LEDs but I find the light falloff to be too shallow. Meaning, the light does not project as far as a lensed light. They are definitely bright at...
I tried this once before - I was asked about the interior setup with the Delorme inReach and iPad. So, here's a shot I took this weekend of the driver's cockpit with the display. The monitors are in a custom install and the iPad uses a RAM Mount. Though they do not have a holder for the...
Here's a shot of the H-1 driver (cockpit). I'm still a guy.
Ram Mounts do not make a mount specific for the inReach so I'm going to give it a little time before purchasing something. Clipping it on the iPad works for now while street driving. Off road, I just put it in a cup holder.
I like it allot. The offering of street, satellite and topo maps is great for street, trying to get into a spot and of course climbing those hills. I'm on the road for work - I'll send a couple shots next week.
Thanks for the comment. I have found those tree things to be tricky. Out here overlanding dangers include sugar sand, arroyo erosion, the pesky tamarisk bush and lack of water. I was up between the Vegas Range and the Sheep range and found fish fossils above 6000 ft. And my last overnight...
Killing some time I went through the past entries diggin' the rigs. I liked a bunch of them. I do have a question:
After you wash your rig, which is necessary for vehicle maintenance, do you ever feel bad that others may think you're a poser?
Sure - thanks for the interest - let me know.
It is basically a stock American General '96 with the 6.5 Turbo and some bolt-ons.
Exterior - semi-custom roof rack, ladder, CB Antenna, 2-72" tool boxes, spare tire mount (stocked with shovel, 60" jack, etc.) , 4-5gal gas cans and mounts, 4 more...
Thanks, 20psi, using my internal gauge is as low as I have gone and it works real well for improved ride. I've never had a traction problem to date. (knock on wood).
Thanks for the reply.
Because of this and another post, I went out an bought an InReach. Too often I'm out of cellular range which also impact scrolling maps on the iPad. The InReach syncs to the iPad and I now use its maps.
Equipment wise I'm pretty well stocked, though I use a checklist each time cuz' I always...
