    Black Friday & Cyber Monday Overlanding Gear Deal Thread

    Update- I sent them an email a couple of days ago and got a return phone call yesterday. Unfortunately I was unable to answer it but he left me a voicemail. Basically he said that the product is coming from South Africa and should have shipped. He was hoping to get it to the US any day now...

    Va to AK to Mexico and back

    Good luck with your adventure! I hope you have a good heater. We spent a cold weekend at Expo East recently and was glad that we had plenty of propane.

    I think I got the combination light that lights the side of the road but primarily focuses straight in front of you.

    I love my BD 30" lights. Crazy bright, and shine way down the road/trail.

    Full size overlanding pros vs cons.

    I'll play! We like our '16 F-350 diesel with our Hallmark camper because it is very comfortable on the longer trips we like to take. Our first real trip was three weeks long. Next week we'll be gone for almost 4 weeks and in the summer of '19 we're planning a three month trip. The truck has a 38...

    Beginning of a long road to Halifax, NS

    Won't your comprehensive insurance cover it (minus your deductible)? My wife hit a deer two years ago and it only cost us the deductible and since it was against our comprehensive (not collision) it didn't count against her and her rates didn't go up the following year.

    Alaska Highway

    We're planning an extended trip in 2019 and have begun research on various aspects as well. One rule of thumb I use when traveling in unknown areas is to never let my tank get below 1/2 ...if I see a gas station and I'm about midlevel I stop and fill up...this paid off big time this fall when...
