    What's your MPG (fuel economy) on the road.

    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.

    Interesting Article on General Outdoor Safety

    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.

    Truck Bed Storage

    I went with the RCI rack for strength and stability. Had a leer cap originally, it was not holding up well with the bumpy drives on trails. The cap i had was also not strong enough for the RTT. I picked up a bihlerflex 6 point flex web to hold my gear in the bed. We use a mix of plano bins and...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Put on new wipers. On the way home from work it started to rain, hit the wipers and the passenger wiper tore off at the squeegee. I decided to switch to the Rain X Latitude. Let's see if these work better

    Did you ever regret not buying a rig?

    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.
