    Bronco? Tundra? Other? HELP!!!

    I was going back and forth a month ago, and ultimately decided to stick with the 4Runner for light overlanding. But I was very close to going with an F250 Tremor over an F150. Enough payload to haul a Hawk Camper with ease. 4x4, rear lockers, Tremor package, Warn winch, dual batteries, HD...

    Who else brings a grill?-1 cooking device to rule them all!

    There is no perfect setup. Depends on the cook, the group, etc. Most practical - propane two-burner stove, with a carbon steel skillet a pot, a griddle, and whatever you use to make coffee. Can cook pasta, boil water, sear steaks, saute veggies, etc. BBQ: Best at grilling, less useful when it...

    Big Easy Overland 5th Gen 4Runner

    How did your suspension handle the front bumper and winch without an upgrade to handle the weight?

    Bronco? Tundra? Other? HELP!!!

    My first thought was a 4Runner, but towing/V8 may lead you to a Lexus GX. You may also want to take a look at an F250 with a sturdy camper on the back.

    Find someone with a stock F150 who is yearning for 20 inch wheels, and trade.

    Need some real world suggestions on lighting options.

    Someone in your party could be critically injured and you may need to drive him out before sunrise.

    Okay - ordered it based on your recommendation and Corrie's.

    Coffee Set Ups

    My wife vetoes any french press because the cleanup is such a pain. At home we use a pour-over, and in the field we use a percolator.

    Gobi Roof Ladder 5th Gen 4Runner - Help!

    Not always a bad thing, though. Small companies can implement the specific vision of the owners and their team. Expanding too quickly can outstrip their financial reserves, their management capacity, their quality control, etc. Outside capital can bring in venture capitalists who don't share...

    Trailworthy/Sleep inside?

    A 4-Door Wrangler with an Ursa Minor top. Minor mod, but perhaps a significant investment.

    Trail Security

    That could make an interesting vinyl wrap.

    Winch is it about the name?

    https://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/129-1107-massive-multi-winch-shootout/ You have a choice of made in China, or Warn. And some Warns are now made in China too. Some Chinese winches work well. I'd look at Engo, T-Max, and Superwinch.

    Jeep Gladiator Top Dog overland concept

    I'd love such a truck. In a year, the parking lot at work would be full of them.

    The Best Tent Ever, Maybe?

    We love it. The Gazelle is like camping with a two bedroom cottage. We use the T4 plus, which has one room large enough for a queen size mattress, and an entry room of equal size, useful for dining or hanging out on a rainy day. It's very handy, but rolls up about the size of your swag, plus...

    The Best Tent Ever, Maybe?

    I like the Ursa Minor replacement top for a jeep. Someone should make something similar that uses an accordian seal to connect an open sunroof to a hardtop tent.

    Use a Tarp for awning wind wall

    Seems that a canvas tarp and some heavy duty velcro would work.

    The Best Tent Ever, Maybe?

    That was a good video - thanks for putting it together and posting it. My wife and I have been using a Gazelle for a few trips, and have been thinking about camper and trailer options that would allow us to park and sleep. If we didn't have a hundred pound dog and lots of stuff, a swag would...

    Overland Bound 3-in-1 Kit Discussion

    No FSA CC, but we sent the receipt to the Federal Employee FSA app and got it reimbursed afterwards.

    EXCURSIONS AND F-250's sound off!!

    Thanks. The market is full of junk - first hand reviews count for a lot. I'll need a step for my wife, and probably the dog too.
