Yesterday I pulled my A.R.E. Ascend Roof Basket off my cap and tore it down. Today I started retrofitting/reinforcing the cross bar spars to re-install onto the cap as a foundation for an Aluminum RTT mounted to the cap. The front, back and sidewall frames of the basket will be retrofitted to...

Ah yes... the age old debate “what is overlanding?” I like the simple and easy definition this thread depicts. Down here in Sun Diego whenever I attend an event it always seems to be defined by money... or the latest and greatest and most expensive gadget. Over 35 years ago I had my first...

An area I feel pretty confident in... my rig has an ALS & BLS Kit, O2, IFAK (x3), Fire Extinguisher (X3), Cell (FirstNet), UHF & VHF radios, 72 hour food/water supply (X2), and recovery kit (no winch). That said, I’m always looking to get it better and more efficient.

Great review and reinforcement that i need to stop kicking the HAM licensing process down the road. I need to buckle down, schedule it and knock it out. I’m committed to it this year.

Thanks. Work in progress. What keeps me up at night is weight. I'm working on that slowly... anything 'light' is 'expensive' of course.

San Diego in the CMR.

Well... not exactly new. Longtime lurker but finally joined as a supporting member. Left a new intro in the New Member forum and left a post on my rig in the Full Size forum. Looking forward to continuing to build my brain from this platform and maybe meeting some of you out there on the...

Introducing 'The Husky Bus'... Another full figured machine! 2013 Ford F-150 Raptor SVT. [AKA “The Husky Bus]... The desert rats down here in San Diego like to tell me she’s a waste of beautiful pre-runner... since I’m building her out as an Overland Rig. To which I say, Nope. It’s just (IMHO)...

Hello all, Woody (AKA BigH2OChief) is finally on the Net.... long time forum cruiser and have been feeling guilty for not being a Member Supporter. The volume of information found here and the capability this platform provides deserves support, so this morning I finally joined. I’ve been...

Perfecto! I’ll research these options tonight. My OCD likes the way you think... uniformity and all. Last night I rewrapped a 10’ run of underbody cable coil because the e-tape winds were off by a 1/4”. Too much time on my hands... Haha! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I’ve been gathering parts to fab a COMMS Cluster for my SCREW. My intention is to repurpose a RAM Universal laptop tray to mount my iPad (I’m partial to Gaia for preloaded Nav), my Cobra 75WXST, and “hand-me-down” KT8900 25W UHF/VHF radio set and GT3-TP M3 handheld radio which my brother gave...

First Newb post/question... As much as I love my 15’ f150 ecoboost (MPG is bomb!) I’ve realized the intercooler presents mechanical constraints for mounting recovery gear -- particularly a winch. By any chance are there any others here who have figured out a work around or recovery solution...

Hello Overland Community, Newb introduction here... presently down south in San Diego, CA. (Carmel Mountain Ranch) with plans to move up to the Northern Cascades soon as Wifey retires in a few years. Currently sporting a 15’ f150 XL SCREW, 2.7 ecoboost/AT, 4WD with a Longbox. Building her out...
