    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    Not sure how having a single layer that can be turned off means their going down hill but, that's just my opinion. All the mapping software like it have their quirks. One of the biggest reasons I've stayed with it over the years is being able to tune and more than anything is how much data...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I turned it on in mine. Yes its part of the overland layer. The part that confuses me is, as far as I can see, the only "extra" part is a handful of black dots I can only see if I zoom all the way out and view the country as a whole. I did turn off all the other layers I use (don't normally use...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    Ahh. Let me know what happens. I have a friend who has ties with them. If you run into issues, I'll have him ask them.

    I didn't know those existed before your question. It seems its just a layer. Turn off that layer.

    Overland "Types?"

    That exactly. As my luck has it. most of my hobbies became fads at one time or another. Often I would stop doing that sport. If I start counting, rock climbing, backpacking, Guns, ATV's, sand toys, boats, rock crawl, desert truck.....and now "overlanding". So yeah. Watched people be idiots with...

    Overland "Types?"

    Where you live plays a huge factor. I maintained one of the premier trails in my local mountains for a couple of decades. When it became a "Jeep badge of honor" Trail is when it got worse. On the trail it was Jeep Idiots, mostly running non aired down 40's with as many led lights as they could...

    Roaming Lost: x3 Locked 1990 Toyota HDJ81 (80 Series)

    Looks like coming along. Due to machine shop delays, my FZ motor took 6 months. Did you get enough seat time in the recaros yet? Some people swap in the late model Rover seats. I think their a good step up from the stock ones. I'm in the same frame of mind about the scheel mann seats. Yeah their...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    My new mini is the single best investment I made in a while. I like being completely off grid and hesitated about getting this. Its come in handy a few times so far. The best thing is I subscribe then turn off the subscription when I get back. I have a month before it runs out. I turn it back on...

    Topless Overlanding Roof Rack

    Reading their site, this option would have you put the tent on after the top was down. That would be an issue if you needed to put the top up for whatever reason while you were out. You would have to remove the tent and store it with the top up. If you were looking for something that allowed...

    Ghost: M100 Trailer Build

    My old spring held up for a bit. Later when I replaced them, one of the main leaf's was cracking. You couldn't see it until I tore the spring pack down.

    That's about what my setup is too. Difference being only 300 watt solar. using a bunch of roof top for storage.

    Diesel heaters

    Found some with the internal control board. Huge hit or miss. Reviews say it either works or doesn't. Unfortunately, no one posts who's heater they have. UGH

    Diesel heaters

    OK, found something on controller upgrade. It looks like its just the display. is that what you were referring to?

    Do you have a link to who makes upgraded boards? That sounds like something I want to do. One of my buddies had his board burn out after a year. That may be an alternative to replacing the unit.
