    Spring Break 2018 Death Valley Overland Trip Planning March 25-29 - 03/25/2018

    A slide out drawer system for a truck, especially a full size is good. I can imagine jumping up in and out of the bed can get tiring. There should be some craftsman near you or in Visalia who could build a drawer system.

    Drawer system v. Tool box/storage boxes....

    Well, I've had an epiphany. I am thinking of finding an old Military Field Desk and using the drawer portion as a cargo area drawer system for my Jeep. I will have to affix drawer locks to keep them in place, but the dimensions of the field desk (Below) is pretty close to what I wanted in a...

    6' Trailer Overland/Camping Ideas

    Hey all, I have a 6' flat bed trailer I purchased a while back for $100 bucks! I've used it for camping and overland travel to carry gear, but am looking for other ideas for it. It has 30" tires, leaf/spring suspension, tilt bed and a VERY stout frame. One thing that irked me on my last trip...

    Dash Mounts

    I use the Scosche Magic Magnet Mount for my Jeep. It suctions to window and then a small metal sticker goes on the back of my phone/gadget that then magnetizes to the base unit. I've been very happy with it and paid @14 for it! http://www.scosche.com/magic-mount-cell-phone-holder-tablet-mount

    Drawer system v. Tool box/storage boxes....

    I am at a fork in the road when it comes to my cargo area storage solutions for my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I have used soft sided bags, duffel bags in the past for gear, but that solution is NOT working as everything becomes a college dorm in the back of my Jeep and a cluttery mess. I need a...

    The open gate

    In CA, I once went through a gate in the winter time on a road that was groomed and in good shape, but covered in snow. My family and I drove in several miles, played in the snow, had lunch and then in the afternoon, started to head back. On our way out, a Forest Service Razor on Tracks came...

    Using a Generator while camping?

    Thanks all for the advice. I will hold onto it for now. I don't think I need it camping, but will keep for emergency. I figured I could sell it for 300-400 and make some Jeep monies. I couldn't imagine carrying it for boondocking camping trips with only my Jeep and tent. For the tent trailer, it...

    Using a Generator while camping?

    I have an inverter in my Jeep for some electrical appliances (I've ran an electric chain saw off of It! [emoji23]) so the generator seems overkill. Unless I have a good reason, I can't think why I should keep it. It has been sitting in my garage for months and the only last time I used it was in...

    Using a Generator while camping?

    Hey All, Does anyone use a generator while overland camping? Is it actually useful for anything other than appliances, tv's etc? Reason I ask, is my family may be selling our tent trailer in the near future and I have a Yamaha EF1000 Generator I can't decide if I should keep or sell also...
