    Are 2 Wheel Drive Rigs any good?

    hey don't sneeze at 120 HP, I have seen people do some amazing things with a samurai coming in at 66HP, and don't forget that one of the offroad communities favorite Toyota engines only has 114 HP in the 22R motor.

    Essential gear that you would choose for a first overland trip?

    As far as recovery is concerned "know how", a shovel, and some form of "MaxxTraxx" will get you out of most situations you may find yourself in. You don't need to spend $100 on a shovel or $300 on name brand maxxtrax, but ebay and amazon knock offs work very well for a third the price. Ive...

    Army surplus uses??

    Ohh yeah, ALOT of my gear is MILSURP. large ALICE pack without frame for 5$ is a makeshift trasharoo, Poncho liners (aka woobies) are phenominal for heat retention, but being light and able to pack very small. Ammo cans and other containers for storage, MREs for emergency rations, I have found...

    You have 6000$ go

    Ha... $6000 is the upstairs bathroom. It may not be pretty, but it would be functional with a standing shower, toilet, sink and vanity. We could "finish" it later , but going from a 3/1/1 to a 3/2/1 in my neighborhood would almost double my equity!

    2014 FJ Cruiser Build (Lucille)

    That's horrible. In the day of social media, online reviews, and competition being at your fingertips, I feel that customer service is the only thing sometimes that can set you apart from the next company in line. I will and have paid a more for a company that is known to be more customer...

    Oklahoma overlanders where ya at?

    I believe its in Norman. While its been a while since I've visited OU, unfortunately it is a bit far for me to escape with the family for a rendezvous. If there were one in the Tulsa metro area it would be a lot more likely for me to get away and meet up with some folks.

    What boots do members wear

    Being a big guy it is hard to find shoes or boots that don't break down fairly quick for me. That being said I have had good experiences with Bates boots for long pants. I can get about 2.5 years out of a pair before the soles are gone. For shorts, I wear Columbia north plains hiking shoe. I...

    And so it begins.

    So we were picking up my oldest daughter today from nanas house at the lake when we come up to a little fishing trail that peals off of the main road. Very mild terrain, but still dirt and rock. Before my wife could object were creaping off the paved road and slowly navigating the trees as to...

    Anybody drive something...

    Some great info on here. One app that I use is "let go" its like craigslist but people are more willing to barter and trade also. I have got some great stuff on there and also got rid of my old crap I did not need any longer. I got the roof rack for my ZJ on there, tools, camping gear, and more.

    What does your significant other drive?

    For our 10 year anniversary I sold my 04 Tiburon GT-V6 Tuscani, and my ZJ. Got her an 06 QX56. Its a one owner with all service records. It is a sweet (thirsty) ride, while it is 4X4 I think its going to be a while before I see any trails. I inherited her 04 pacifica as I have pumped to...
