Ok; I'm googling 5lb fire extinguishers for the trip. Here's one I found real quick: My Jeep has a small one mounted by the seat (truck doesn't have one), but it would be a good idea to have a larger one on this trip...

Ok; I posted a Rally Point for this Pacific Crest Overlanding Route - Oregon Segment: https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/pacific-crest-overland-route-pcor-oregon-segment.34186/ Figure if I was maybe/possibly going to post it, I should do it now even though I'm still working out the...

What should I not bring? I'm putting this out there so there are no questions or hurt feelings later. No smoking marijuana. I don't care if it is legal in OR (is it? I don't know). Don't bring it to smoke it. Bake it in brownies or something and munch away. No illicit drugs (I shouldn't have...

I do not know where we will be stopping and camping every night. This is an adventure for me too - be flexible. I'll possibly be bringing my lil' adventure trailer, but even if I do I plan on sleeping on a cot in the back of my truck (this is kind-of a test-run on this camping set-up for my...

Open to any and all appropriate overlanding-type 4WD vehicles. A few vehicle & trailer requirements (you probably already have them, but some folks are new at this, so here goes): 4WD vehicle in good repair. The route is about 500 miles from the WA/OR border to the OR/CA border. Once we get...

We will meet at exit 64 off Interstate Highway 84 in OR (Hood River) at 0900 on Sunday, 6 September. Exact spot to be determined at a later date. Highway 35 begins just south of there, and is the beginning of the PCOR - Oregon segment. I know this is short notice. The trip I was originally...

I used one of the 4' trailer frames for mine. However, it is easy enough to cut down one of the 4' x 8' trailer frames to the exact size you need/want. Northern tool sells a very similar trailer frame. Those "C" channel frames are quite sturdy. And yes; they're perfectly highway capable...

I think this might be your best bet if wanting the old military trailer look. I still don't really know the difference between the two (I've never asked them). https://www.kaiserwillys.com/complete-trailer-assembly-kit-fits-41-45-mb-gpw...

Oregon fires? Yeah... another reason that this trip might not get finalized till closer to departure time. Bummer. The Overlanding gods are working against me. Do they have bears in Oregon?

I thought about it, but I still need to do a little bit of research on it. Like where are those California fires, and would that impact the trip?

Sadly, I'm cancelling this Old-School Vehicle Overlanding Trip Run. It came down to just me and one other person, and unfortunately they were going to have to bug-out on/after day #2. I can't see myself out in the middle of nowhere (we pre-ran this trip; I know how isolated it can be out...

Yeah... dogs in packs scare me. Wolves, coyotes, etc.

Oh yeah. There are places that are not for the faint-of-heart. Tight squeezes between trees and/or boulders, muddy ditches, hill climbs, etc. That's why the vehicle requirements are what they are (including dedicated tow strap attachment points front-and-rear, like tow hooks or D-rings or 2"...

Might be doable. Need to see pictures : )

Wow; sounds serious. Hope you can git'r fixed without too much drama and expense. Your Bronco? Full size vehicles are so much more comfortable to take on long trips. My other adventure vehicle is a 96 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 I bought new; now with 225,00 miles on the 5.2 engine. This is the...

So we're about four weeks out from the start of the Old-School Vehicle Overlanding Trip (Woo-Hoo!). I know a lot has happened Covid-19 related since I posted the Rally Point months ago. For some folks, it is ruining their vacation plans. For others, now they've got free time on their hands...

I know... old thread. However... Don't knock the little Northern Tool or HF-type 4' trailer frames when building an overlanding trailer. I've got thousands of miles on this little HF-based trailer doing some crazy stuff. It is amazing how much stuff you can put into (and on) one of these...

You're welcome. I forgot I also used a pair to mount a little shovel on the side of my TJ's roof rack. More of a potty-shovel if you know what I mean.

Quick Fists mounted to some metal bracket thingies. I bought the metal brackets at either Lowe's or Home Depot (find the isle with the fence hinges and "L" brackets and such - they're over there). I needed something to raise the Quick Fists so the shovel head would clear (it has a steep angle...

Close-up pictures of the tent-cot cover if you're interested in making one for yourself. It isn't 100% waterproof as you can see around the leg openings, but I've never had any issues driving in rain (and I've done a lot of that). Think of the underside opening as a large "U" going from the...
