    Expo East 2018

    I'm heading up from Florida. It looks like we'll have a small convoy on the way up and a group completing the Georgia Traverse after.

    CAISOB 2012 Tacoma Overland Build

    Yesterday I added an uber cheap folding table to my swingout. 20180623_151924 by CAISOB Taco, on Flickr 20180623_151917 by CAISOB Taco, on Flickr 20180623_151858 by CAISOB Taco, on Flickr

    What do you use to store all your gear?

    I've been transitioning the HDX totes that I was originally using and reorganized the majority of my gear into 2 Plano 1919 boxes, but I still had some stuff that was infrequently needed in the HDX totes. I was camping last weekend and it rained on my way there and then periodically off and on...

    Samsung tablet for navigation?

    So far, so good. I just got the X-Mount for it today. Much lighter and smaller footprint than the 10" tablet and the mount I have for it.

    Samsung tablet for navigation?

    I have been using an older RCA 10" tablet loaded with GAIA linked to a Bluetooth GPS puck. The tablet and RAM mount have proven to be adequate but bulky. Yesterday I picked up a Lenovo 8" from Walmart and plan to use that. I need to see if it has internal GPS or if I will need to keep using the...

    New-To-Me Rig Hummer H3

    Just as the H2 shared a lot of parts with the 2500 series trucks. BUT, I ran into a few situations with mine where off the shelf GM parts wouldn't fit the bill, so the repair shop would have to hunt down parts to complete repairs.

    New-To-Me Rig Hummer H3

    Tough situation to be in. I was looking at an H2 and an H3 back in 2010. I hadn't fully made up my mind when it came time to buy, but the decision was made for me when the H3 I was leaning toward was sold by the time I got back to the dealership. Downside was that I started driving an H2 about...

    I have this posted on a couple of forums, so I set up a facebook event to help coordinate.

    Overland Expo East & Georgia Traverse, Nov 7-?, 2018

    You are more than welcome to join. I'm hoping to get at least one person that's familiar with the area to join in, but if not, I've got the route loaded in Gaia and exploring is half the fun.

    DIY HiLift mounts?

    Thanks! I liked having it on the side for easy access, but I also like being able to reach into the bed without a concussion much better.

    DIY HiLift mounts?

    With my old TJ, I used U-Bolts/muffler clamps to attach a 48" across the rear bars. With my Taco, I have rollbar brackets that I drilled out to fit 1/2" bolts. It was originally on my bedrack, but I moved it to my swingout. IMG_7842 by CAISOB Taco, on Flickr 20180522_201843 by CAISOB Taco, on...

    My Lowes trailer build

    Good start. That's the same trailer I'm looking at. I like that the deck is roughly the same dimensions as the bed of my short bed Taco.

    Overland Expo East & Georgia Traverse, Nov 7-?, 2018

    Good deal. I plan on camping at Amelia Wednesday night and driving up on Thursday if you want to caravan up.

    Anyone using GoTreads?

    I think I first saw them in this same video. If I didn't already have a set of eBay traction boards I probably would have gone with those.

    Overland Expo East & Georgia Traverse, Nov 7-?, 2018

    I'm taking a couple of weeks off in November and am putting together a trip to and from Overland Expo East that will include completing the Georgia Traverse. From there, I'll be heading south through Talladega National Forest, then heading home. I'm coming from Cocoa, FL so my plans include...

    Georgia Traverse

    Thanks! I'm still in the planning stages, and since I do plan on making it to Overland Expo it makes sense to take advantage of the time I'll be in that area.

    Georgia Traverse

    This is something I've been considering doing solo either the week before or after OE East in November. I have a feeling it might be a bit crowded though.
