Exactly. Rotopax even states that you need to vent them daily which admittedly is a little involved when they’re flat on the roof. As far as theft goes in my picture you can see the locking T handles. The annoying spout that comes with gas cans can easily be swapped out for the vented water...

You’re right, it hasn’t been that nice here. Worst part is that all it is is cold. It’s snowed on all sides of us and here we are... just cold haha. I sincerely hope to take you up on that offer to show me around someday. I’ve been compliling all these routes because I’d love to get a chance...

I’m not even in the area but I saved them all. Great stuff @theBROFESSOR! Hopefully the map of routes turns into a reality.

Absolutely. Give me your email address here or on DM if you want and I’ll send you some links.

Hahaha thanks. All in the name of minimal space wasted. If you check out the build thread link in my sig the custom 1 gallon propane tank setup should be detailed there. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask there or DM.

I don’t have a Jeep but mine is empty every time by design. Most vehicles have check valve of sorts that holds oil/pressure. These supposedly work great new but over time they slowly lose pressure and the oil will drain if it’s positioned in a manner to allow it. Super short commutes are not...

I don’t know which one it was but one of the people in this ‘Overland Couple’ has the right idea. Haha.

I went with Rotopax because the gas/water cans were going in my basket and I wanted to keep a lower profile because of branches/downed trees. It’s also easier to get less weight down off of the roof and because I went with multiple 2 gallon cans of each if there was ever a problem with one I’d...

When I was shopping for tires to throw on my Outback I needed an AT tire that can handle snow in the winter just as well as sand in the summer. I didn’t want an overly aggressive tread that competed with my wife for noise in the cabin but it still had to be capable of whatever conditions I run...

Hello and welcome from northeastern Pa.

@Michael This obviously isn’t a ‘serious’ issue but it would be nice if the member map could be used as I attempted to. Not to mention what if a member were in the area and needed assistance? They would have to weed through all of these misplaced people in the hopes of finding someone who is...

This was directed at you @K7CWJ. Thank you very much. I’ve got few things laying around that I need to finish. Rock and flush mount rear facing lights from Black Oak, a couple Baja Design lights going in the OE fog locations, new mount for my iPad/inReach, and I really need to decide on...

I love forest roads. I love them even more when they turn into unmaintained rutted adventures and that’s where I start throwing out the term ‘trail’. To me it starts being a ‘trail’ when 4wd/AWD makes the going easier.

I couldn’t agree more. Great idea for a thread. @Terry Pickens beat me to it but here’s another Outback.

Haha! I wish I could say it was me but it was not. Subaru’s are definitely on the rise off road but still few and far between. Id be the first to say that they have their limitations but also their redeeming qualities. Not to mention I typically do things differently anyway haha.

Haha. As I said previously it isn’t perfect but if it’s features appeal to you then I can assure you it’s well made and it performs well when conditions are less than favorable. That is a CB antenna. Have you gone through my build thread? I only ask because I deleted those pics but they should...

First and foremost it’s living space. In dry conditions it’s just nice having additional room because the tent doesn’t pitch in immediately starting at the ground. Essentially it’s more room to stand/sit up. If it’s wet or you end up with condensation build up you’re also less likely to touch...

Thank you! It’s been a great escape vehicle.

Keep an eye on Craigslist for any number of things. There’s no reason to go broke over gear and there’s typically a lot of lightly used options available on there. Lots of ‘I think I like the outdoors’ types who got caught in the rain once haha. I found my Load Warrior for 1/2 price on there for...

Even though it’s been talked about before it’s certainly never a bad idea to remind people to think about it when they decide to put things on the roof. So please don’t take my comment as dismissive.
