    For my Jeep friends

    I've found myself wanting there to be an "Overlander Wave". So many jeeps are set up for rock crawling (they're easy to spot), and I just don't have that much in common with them. I get more excited to see a really well set up FJ Cruiser, Land Rover, Pathfinder, GX470, Land Cruiser, 4Runner...

    Cummins "Re-Power" Program.

    I'd leave the state to get a diesel kit for the ZJ :-)

    Renting an overlander in SoCal

    I've seen places that rent Wranglers. You may have a tough time finding a Land Cruiser or 4 Runner.

    Cummins "Re-Power" Program.

    I'd swap in a second!!! Wouldn't bet a dollar the People's Republic of California won't figure out a way to make it illegal :-(

    Phones have great cameras. The iPhone 7 Plus is supposed to be spectacular!

    What's your Multi-Tool?

    I've got The Charge TTI... But it's too large for EDC. My favorite is The Juice CS4

    Dream Rig

    I like the idea of staying small (no Earth Roamers), so you can get into the places no one else can. Everyone agrees that cargo weight is an issue. Instead of dividing the weight by four, what if you could divided by six? Even though $75,000 would not cover it, this is my "Available in the...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Besides paying for the damage, those kids (and their parents) need to be bitch slapped!!!

    Camcorder vs DSLR

    That's a great camera/set of cameras. My system has evolved over the past few months. Here's where I am currently... I really like the monopod set up. I can use it as a tripod or monopod, and it works pretty will as a camera stabilizer for handheld work.

    Dream Overland Trip

    When I did my motorcycle trip to Alaska, the plan was to take the Dalton highway. But when I pulled in to the motorcycle dealership in Fairbanks and saw a 12 foot tall pile of wrecked motorcycles behind the shop, which they told me were the results of failed attempts to ride to Prudhoe Bay, I...

    Dream Overland Trip

    Absolutely correct. That's why @Michael needs to head it up. He's the one with the existing audience. They'll also want to see an example of the quality we can produce (like a Pilot Episode). We have some amazing talent baked in to the membership, so that should be a problem. Also, if you're...

    Camcorder vs DSLR

    My background is still photography. I understand the appeal of the DSLR. High-resolution - Shallow depth of field - Better choice and quality of lenses. However, even with the advances in auto focus (like with the Canon 70D), I still find them clumsy, for shooting video. Mostly due to : 1...

    Continental Divide Trail?

    Has anyone done, or have info about, the Continental Divide Trail? What I've been able to find online is not recent.

    Dream Overland Trip

    Exactly!!! The core group could be made up of three vehicles. So here's the plan: Anyone who's interested in taking the entire trip, start buying lottery tickets tomorrow morning. As soon as we have three winners, we leave! ;-)

    Dream Overland Trip

    Regarding Key West to Prudhoe Bay: ( I'm using voice to text. Pardon the grammatical errors ) There seems to be an underlying sense, in the International Overland Community, that it's not a true expedition, unless it's in Australia, or Africa. We could make a dent in that perception. I'm...
