Currently average about 16 mpg. City it drops to about 8 when constantly hitting traffic lights. I need to get the tire size adjusted so my speedometer and odometer are correct.
Thanks for sharing. Its always good to brush up on this stuff.
Now here is my question.
What do us overlanders do about camp kitchen and bears? Most of us cook in and around our rigs. I guess we just need to clean up extra well and hope that being in a RTT is enough to not interest the bears.
Currently:
-Water
- Beef Jerky
- Multi tool
- 2 pairs of gloves
- Hat
- Sunglasses
- Maps
- CB radio
- Cell chargers
- Flashlight
- Seat belt cutter and glass smasher
I want to get the blueridge overland gear visor molle sections to help organize it better. Also want their back molle panels...
I would put the spare under the bed in the stock location. I have a short bed F150, I was able to fit a 285/65R20 in the stock spot. That is basically a narrow 35.

We got into overlanding to get back outside. We both grew up camping and somehow stopped along the way. I specifically want our daughter to experience the...
I'm picking up a council tools double bit soon. This will be strapped to the bed rack in all sorts of weather for trail work.

I'll still use the others. This one will be specific for trail...
Had a Jeep Cherokee, built, available through a friend recently. Had to pass. My daughter was due to be born within the month.
I still want to trade my trailblazer in for something someday. Maybe the right rig will pop up in the future.
