    Want advice: Best Storage Solutions for a Compact Overland Rig

    Drawers can be nice, but typically take up extra space (because of the slides on the sides) and add weight. I know of a lot of people that use the pack-out type tool boxes (Milwaukee, Ridged, etc). I use a combination of hard boxes and soft cases. Whatever you use, make sure it's well secured...

    Anyone using a non-Starlink satellite internet provider on your travels?

    We learned about Red Zone wireless from their booth at Expo East last Oct. It's essentially a hot spot on steroids. Gave it a try, as my wife is a mortgage loan officer, we need to maintain connectivity. Was also interested in possibly using it as a replacement for home Xfinity service...

    The rally was a good time. Got a little chilly at night (33*) We'll likely go again next year.

    I saw the thread title and thought it was a reference to "Stargate"

    Improvised MABDR trip

    Glad you had a good time, in spite of the camping area at Paw Paw. I think that camping area is intended for the through hikers/ cyclists doing the canal. But you are right, it's not very desirable.

    Improvised MABDR trip

    The route through the Harpers Ferry area passes about 5 miles from where I live. Don't know how many miles you plan on putting in when starting at the PA/ MD line, but it's pretty much all pavement until you get to western MD. There is a first come/ first serve campground at Sleepy Creek WMA...

    Overland lift kits for Mojave gladiator 2022 ideas

    I'm still on the stock suspension with our Mojave, but need to swap out some beefier rear springs for the load I'm carrying in the short term. I've added airbags, which helped, but not enough to eliminate the "wallowing down the highway" feel. I'll be talking to the Dobinson folks at Expo this...

    Awning for jeep gladiator ideas

    I have the OVS 270LT as well. It's closer to 70 lbs. It's mounted passenger side on my Snap topper camper. I do like the OVS, but if I were to make an awning purchase again, I would look closely at the new Reign Outdoor 270.

    Ford Ranger!

    I don’t have one, but a friend of mine does. His ewetoobs channel is “ Out of Office Camping” Saw one this weekend out in the nat forest that had an Alucab topper on it Looked pretty good.

    Field Comms

    Not meaning to hijack the thread, but do the rangers monitor a specific frequency? (I didn't think they did..) Most of my camping excursions are in the GW/ Jefferson/ Mon forests and this would be good info to know!

    How to shop for a truck camper

    Don't know what part of VA you're in, but I'm in Harpers Ferry, WV. I have a Snap topper camper on a Gladiator if you would be interested in seeing what that type of set-up looks like. There is a plethora of companies selling topper campers these days. My inner Dave Ramsey says if your current...
