    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I really like the military water cans, tough and easy to use. Bought a spigot for mine to use at camp. I was also able to procure a harder to obtain 'fuel' version, all of them in desert tan. My truck's era, did not offer OEM bed rails, so to secure items like fuel and water (military...

    Let's see those rigs in action

    Need to find the correct transition point to try a cross axle recovery. Not as easy as you might think to locate. I have a winch, a rear G-80 locker (ltd slip), no traction control, or multi terrain option. So for me it would be recovery boards or rocks, or the G-80 engaging for needed...

    Tread Lightly when your out

    I have done that a few times, while on out enjoying a designated camp site. It seems a certain percentage of city folk come up to enjoy the mountains, but do not appreciate it enough to properly clean-up after themselves or others. Thank you to all who try to make a difference. It helps even...

    Why HD vehicles should NOT be discounted as overlanding rigs strictly because of MPG...

    My long story short,..........I had a 2001 2500HD with the 6.0 engine. I never got anything over 11.5 Hwy with up sized 285x75x16 tires, over the 245x75x16 OEM's. That was basically running empty. When I traded it in for my 2003 HD Duramax 2500, I saw 14.3 city. After break in, combined...
