I checked out what she had to say and it certainly has merit, but I think the most important thing in seasoning isn't the oil, rather its the amount of application/heat cycles that matters most. And I agree, starting with a relatively smooth pan helps tremendously. I have (3) Lodge pieces: a...

The only one I've tried is the S&B cold air intake. I've had it on my truck for nearly 15 years now and its been really good. I have to admit, I'm not the best at keeping up on air filter maintenance but it seems to have my back, and they have improved on the design over the years. My filter...

Looks great, @El-Dracho, that's quite a rig! I appreciate everyone posting. After staring at my current layout I'm thinking about reorganizing everything. A problem I'm having is the dash components are brittle after 15 years in the sun and when I recently tried to pull them the first piece...

Looking awesome!

Nice wheels, I really like those. They just don't make wheels with the specs that best fit my 3rd gen 3500.

With my return I can just about add a mirror air freshener, hahaha. F'ing taxes are too high in California!

I like I like the directness of your setup, but my dash isn't really conducive to this. The passenger air bag forces the mount much more towards the center of the dash where it blocks the HVAC controls and radio controls, although I can probable get it low enough to clear the radio, but then...

Love the ammo can center console. That's a great idea that also looks awesome! I actually already have an original RAM Tab-tite that must be 15 years old now that I was planning on using. I think its going to be best paired with a seat post mount of some sort.

The 3rd gen doesn't have a "pocket" on top like yours. Not that it would matter anyway, because on top of the center portion of the dash is where I mounted my Lowrance Baja 540c GPS. I think I want to keep the iPad out of the direct sun, too. I'm noticing Apple products are very easy to...

I'm looking for mounting ideas so I can use my iPad in my 3rd gen Ram. I was thinking a seat bolt mount with stalk would work best for my application but would like to weigh my options before laying out my hard earned cash (these mounts aren't cheap!). If you have a tablet mounted in the...

Thanks for the firewood map. Near me bark beetle is trouble and killing the pines. I'm in a old citrus growing area and we have issues with non-native species attacking our orange and lemon trees, too.

Finding locally sourced firewood in southern California isn't easy. I'm one of the lucky few with a real fireplace (most cities around me have banned them) and its usually a chore finding firewood come fall, unless I want to pay $10 a cubic foot for "easy to light" crap from Home Depot. :unamused:

That looks like Superstrut hardware. Home Depot will have that in the store. Might be worth checking to see if it fits.

Somewhere outside Parker, AZ.

My truck is rather large (3500 Ram Megacab). Is this trip big girl friendly? : )

Waterproof roll-top dry bags are common for motorcycle travel so you may want to check out some of the big names in that segment of travel gear. Dry Spec, SW Motech, Wolfman, Nelson Rigg, etc. all make good gear, some at better prices than others.

Looks like you have a body strapped down onto the roof rack, hahaha.

My favorite way to overland.....

Usually something that makes the entire family happy, and that is NOT camping, hahaha. Most of our vacations involve a beach somewhere and me taking 3 days off work.

In all honesty, I don’t really do any overlanding. I think everyone would just call what I do camping. Family and work obligations just don’t allow me more than a weekend out at a time. And since my time is limited I don’t get very far from home (Inland Empire, southern CA). I love the eastern...
