UPDATE I started experimenting with building compost panels a while ago. originally I was going to use XPS 250 foam board. It is a common construction material that is relatively cheap and has been used to make many campers and teardrop trailer projects that can be found on the internet. But...

No, the entry door will be on the rear to allow as much storage space (weight) to be as far forward as possible. I'm not a big fan of mounting stuff on the outside of the vehicle where it can be easily seen anyway. The spare tire will remain in its stock location and I'm planning on finding...

UPDATE Well, it's been slow going, but I managed to put a little time in on the build. I decided to reroute the exhaust while I had easy access. The old exhaust was in poor shape and I wanted to have it dump in front of the rear tire to open up more room for potential storage ideas and ground...

UPDATE I have completed the subframe! As planned, it is constructed of 1x2 steel, rectangular tubing. A mix of 16g and 1/8 inch wall thickness. It is bolted to the 6 stock bed mounts with grade 8, 1/2 inch bolts. The plan is to attach the camper to the subframe with ten 3/8 inch bolts and...

My build platform is a 1995 Toyota T100, extended cab, 4x4, 3.4L V6, 5 speed manual trans. My wife, dog, and I have already lived out of this truck with a very basic DIY camper while traveling through Mexico and Central America for 1.5 years. We learned a lot during that trip and have decided...

My wife and I spent January 2021 in Baja. Our main focus was exploring the Pacific coast for uncrowded surf and secluded camping. We found what we were looking for We also went whale watching for the first time in Ojo de Liebre and tried a new(to us) camping spot in Bahia Concepcion. It was an...

I finally finished editing the video we shot during our Baja trip with the Overland Bound crew. This trip took place December/January of 2018/19 and all of the camping spots are along the Sea of Cortez. It was our first time traveling with a group, like Overland Bound. We were a bit nervous...

The funny thing about this thread for me is that I have actually tried to be one of those people on YouTube or Instagram but it just never took off for me. When we left for Panama 4 years ago the only YouTube channel portraying what we now think of as overlanding with well edited videos was...

It is a 1995 Toyota T100 4x4 with the 3.4l V6 The only "modifications" I've done are Bilstein stock-replacement shocks and stock size BFG Ko2 At tires She's coming up on 250,000 miles on the odo. 50,000 of that is since we bought it. I would guess around 4,000 off-pavement miles.

My wife and I bought a 4x4 truck for $2500, spent about $2500 on building a camper and solar electric system and lived out of it for 18 months while traveling from USA to Panama and back. If you add up everything we spent on our truck, modifications, camping gear, and 18 months of traveling it...

The last south bound border crossing of our trip! Costa Rica to Panama

Nicaragua to Cost Rica

Ours is 3 years old now. (and still going strong) so it's a little different than the current models, but the EX67d is very similar. Same size. both are decided cabinets. I think the new one just has upgraded hinges, bag, and a slightly different layout on the control panel.

El Salvador/Honduras & Honduras/Nicaragua

I wanted to support my favorite youtube overland channels, but I'm a dirtbag overlander, so I can't support them financially. I decided to make a video and try to help them out in my own little way. I recommend you check out any of these guys if you aren't already watching: (warning: not all of...

As part of our travel series we cover our experiences in crossing borders. Here are the Central America border crossings that we have edited so far. They are included as part of the travel, so there may be some other travel content that you may choose to skip, but hopefully our style of sharing...

Hi guys n gals. We are giving away 2 LifeSaver Jerrycans. We used ours for 2 years while traveling through Mexico and Central America. The Jerrycan worked well, allowing us to drink from taps, rivers, and wells that would have certainly made us sick otherwise. We've received lots of questions...

Hi Alex My wife and I spent about 2 years traveling through Mexico and Central America. If you have seen our youtube channel or seen us traveling with OB, then we are one of those people telling you it's safe. But I definitely would advise against traveling in a soft top jeep. They are just too...

The breakdowns aren't fun when they happen, but they can make some decent memories too ;)

We're going to be more or less off the road for a while now and trying to readjust to stationary life and living according to other people's schedules is proving more difficult for me than expected, so fastdiablo, smritte the stuff you guys are saying is ringing true with me right now.
