Hi Bjoern,
Thanks for the reply, I am based 6 months in London and 6 months in North America on average each year, If you are ever overlanding in the UK please send me a message. My rig is in storage in Canada, last time I was hitting the dirt was November 2020, after completing a 10,000 mile...
The Cambridge Dictonary describes the meaning of tool to be:
a piece of equipment that you use with your hands in order to help you do something.
I would love this section to flourish into a virtual place where OB members and guests can visit to to learn and share knowledge about the tools you...
Hi Corrie, Thanks I am excited to hear you like my idea/suggestion, The resource could save so many hours of searching forums and help members get the answers they need quicker, Not that searching and asking is bad, I would not have interacted with so many awsome members recently! Best wishes...
Hi Lief_WJ,

It would be great if we had a way to search members by vehicle, make, model, year then we could reach out and ask questions to someone who has the same vehicle, this could save a lot of time when trying to get answers, not only for tools, but things like what bull bar will fit, which shocks fit...

Hi Erich,
Thanks for doing this, i am afriad I wont explain myself well and they will wonder who this crazy person is on the phone, I see so its not just about fastening size but also the torque required which from my recent learnings dictates wether you use a 1/4, 3/8 1/2 or 1 inch...
Hi Erich, Thanks for that suggestion thats a good idea, although I am a little shy on the phone, would you mind asking for me if you happen to be passing their dealership? Also I am in the UK at present, until the 20th of September, hence spending time on forums, not that I am complaining its...
Hi Erich,
I have subscribed the the Last Tool Channel, I watched all his overlanding minamilst videos and found them very helpful in getting my Tool Roll shopping list together. I went one step further and emailed him (Doc) to ask if he could help in the serach for the sizes I should carry and...
Hi Erich,
Thanks I will check out the channel, yeah i feel I am getting close to bitting the bullet on my 1st set of tools, like they say you have to start somewhere and I know you can never have enough tools. I have renovated the camper shell and I purchased tools as I needed them to do the...
Hi Erich,
Thanks for the message, so kind words i am so fortunate to have this beautiful shell on the back of my truck and I am slowly making it my sanctuary. I love taking it into nature away from cities and recharging my internal battery (my soul). This forthcoming trip (mid September) will...
