    Cancelled RP Test - Overnight Trip - Big Bear

    I got a message saying someone in my area posted a rally point. if its a test, it worked well. I believe this is the first one I've seen yet. Too add, Keller peak is the only yellow post I haven't stayed at. How big is is?

    How Overlanders are Ruining Overlanding

    Your scope is way too narrow. Take the term "Overlanding" out. Instead replace it with anything that became a fad. For my area its been Sand cars, Boats, Jet ski's, Desert trucks, ATV's even backpacking (just to name some). Vehicle wise the Rubicon started it here in early 2000. People driving...

    2019 Ford Transit Quadvan 4x4....installed Transit Offroad upgraded lower control arms

    This is one of the biggest issues on anything lifted. It's also one of the things ignored on most lifted vehicles. I didn't see springs in your picture's. Are yours torsion bars? Overall, great upgrade.

    Built not bought. Overland trailer home built.

    Can you link where you got your door latches. The oval ones not the round ones. I can find the round but having trouble getting the longer ones. If you already posted this, I didn't see it.

    New lift

    With that much lift your going to want long travel if you plan on having the suspension work properly. I would look at Camburg but I think they only go to 4". Once you lift that high, you start binding ball joints and the control arm geometry is off. The long travel will get around that. Your...

    Noise from roof rack

    ^^^^^^This^^^^^ In the shop, I would have to adjust the rack slats back on customers racks. As time went on, the manufactures stated lowering them and moving them back. The issue is the air catching an edge. This will either whistle or vibrate. My rack has a deflector on the front. If you have...

    Headlights for 2013 4runner

    Huh. Didn't realize they did that. Did it start in 07 with the JK? Does the PWM module seem to be holding up? My Jeep knowledge ended with the TJ.

    Headlights for 2013 4runner

    DRL's can be tricky depending on how they switch them. Its nice when the manufacture uses a separate bulb. Without looking, its possible they run the low beams in series on yours. I would use the ignition feed as my trigger and a relay to connect and disconnect. Then use the High/Low to shut the...

    RTT AC

    Not here. I haven't been able to justify one yet. My summer camping is mountains so no real heat at night.

    80 Series Gears/Lockers?

    You just missed the Nitro gear sale. I picked up a set of 4.88's for my cruiser. $175 for both. They were clearing out over stock. I've used and abused Yukon and Nitro. Instead of air lockers, look at Eaton electric or Harrop (made by Eaton). Pop over to IH8MUD, 80's section for everything 80's...

    Better bought than built

    That reminds me of something I have heard people say when its suggested they don't buy cheap important gear. "I've never had a problem!". Then when it fails they say "I've never seen that before!" and act surprised. One of the guys at work will only buy cheap tools and gear. His stuff fails all...

    YouTube video frequency from Overland Bound has really dropped off?

    Very true. A few good things came from it though. More people were introduced to car camping and my gear evolved. Not all bad. Heh I forgot about them. I followed it since it started. Too bad it went away.

    Favorite Tire Repair kits?

    100% agree with @bgenlvtex here. I've repaired more tires in the shop then I can count. Some I refused to repair due to the location, size or manner of the repair. When I use to rock crawl, that's a diffrent story. Everything we did was so the vehicle didn't have to replace the tire before he...

    RTT supports

    When I had my RTT on my trailer, I considered the same thing. Even though I had no issues, I didn't like the ladder holding the platform. If I still had it, I would have added in a couple of support poles. Because my ladder would move on me once in a while, I would tie and stake it to the ground.
