    Need Advice re Leaf Springs

    I have air bags on my F-150 and am definitely not a fan. Maybe I’ll like them better if I can ever find the leak and fix it.

    Need Advice re Leaf Springs

    It’s perfect when unloaded as my daily driver and weekend wheeling. It’s only when fully loaded with roof top tent, camping gear, and all the extras that I bottom out. Sumo springs look like the way to go.

    Need Advice re Leaf Springs

    Thanks! I really appreciate that feedback. It’s where I was leaning after some research last night, but to have someone vouch for the sumo’s helps a lot. Will definitely add a leaf as well. I feel a September project coming on ;)

    Best Overland Trail Map site or app?

    Thanks for that! Current fires is something important to me too and a layer I consult during planning and pre-trip

    Need Advice re Leaf Springs

    I don’t think I understand what you mean by go the other way and pull apart. If I’m bottoming out, doesn’t that mean the spring is flexing too far?

    That makes sense The only layers I really use are public land and wilderness areas so I know my boundaries. Then I’m winter I turn on snow depth so I can decide where I do or do t want to go. The current fires layer is also good info. If OB1 has that info incorporated or available, I’ll be happy.

    Ok, thanks. I think Hellwig makes one of those. I thought the overloads did that too, the ones on the bottom that curve down instead of up…

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I suspect that isn’t necessarily uncommon. Unfortunate and hard to hear about a product I’ve become so familiar with and spent so much time learning all the intricacies. Gaia was my offline Nav for both overlanding and hiking. There was a lot of comfort in that.

    Need Advice re Leaf Springs

    I have a Tacoma with an OME 2” lift on the (Dakar I assume) springs. When empty, it’s a great off roader and drives nicely as my daily. When I add my RTT and camping gear I am bottoming out. Frequently enough that I want to fix it. My instinct is to add a leaf. I have the OEM packs I pulled...

    Gaia has a new overlanding layer that is pretty good. I also like adding the wilderness layer and snow layer in winter I also want to start spending more time with OB1 and OnX

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I’m toying with the idea of trying the OB1 map app when I renew this fall. Can anybody provide some comparisons to Gaia, anybody fully vouch for it? Hard to leave something you’re used to, even if it is glitching a little bit.

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I have that issue with my android tablet, but zero problems with my Apple phone. Turns out, the map did download the second trip, but not the first. There was zero indication so I was just hoping for the best. Very displeased with android in general, and definitely Gaia on android

    I would go through the standard troubleshooting. Turn off the app and restart it. Log all the way out and all the way back in. Do a phone/computer restart. If none of that works, get in touch with @Kent R to help you sort it out. When you're on the map and click member dots, you should get...

    I’m with you on all this. I hate established places during peak season.

    U.S. Park Pass

    I think it depends on where you are. The vast majority of National Parks and National Forests are Mountain Time zone and west. In that case, the America The Beautiful pass makes tons of sense. If you live on the east coast, it might not be worth it based on your availability to use it. Being...

    Cancelled Central Washington Cascades Cleanup & Exploration

    I'm planning to check out an OB1 posted camp site located @ 47.30823, -120.56514 If it's good, that's where we'll be on the evening of the 10th. If not, we'll keep looking. I have your number. I'll get you my Garmin contact so you can verify from Cle Elum.
