    I saw you guys pulling into Echo as I was leaving. I didn't know you were part of O.B. Small world.

    James Baroud Isothermic Kit review - An Overland Bound exclusive

    I ordered it online from OK4WD in New Jersey. It seemed like they are one of the few who keep it in stock.

    James Baroud Isothermic Kit review - An Overland Bound exclusive

    I've owned my James Baroud Evasion RTT for about one and half years. Overall I like the tent but was curious about the Isothermic kit that they sell as an option. I couldn't find anything online about how well it worked or even what it looked like. Eventually I decided to take the plunge and...

    Biggest waste of money (let's learn something)

    interesting about the Borla. Initially I was considering it, thinking it was the higher quality product.

    Biggest waste of money (let's learn something)

    Interesting...I currently own a Jeep Rubicon and a LR4 and I'm itching for a 2017 Ram Power Wagon. The size concerns me, but I didn't think of it as a serious issue. I have a hard time squeezing my 5 y.o. twins with gear in the Jeep and I can with the LR4 but it's a 2013 with 81K miles on it...

    Biggest waste of money (let's learn something)

    I have friends who swear by these CAI's. Good to know. I always had some reservations.

    Biggest waste of money (let's learn something)

    That was my logic but it didn't work out that way. I'd consider it but at this point I've accepted that this is the normal temp range for this engine.

    Biggest waste of money (let's learn something)

    in hindsight it appears these Jeeps just run hot. 219-229 degrees in the summer seems to be the norm. I thought I can get the truck to run cooler by venting the hood....wrong. Coolant temp didn't change at all (using a digital temp gauge)

    Biggest waste of money (let's learn something)

    Sometimes we learn more from our mistakes. What's the worst accessory or product that didn't deliver or wasn't worth the money for you? I probably have many... Poison Spyder hood vent for my jeep (doesn't reduce my engine temps at all) REI Quarter Dome tent (rainfly window came out completely...

    A couple basic questions about rtt's and their supporting racks

    Hi, I can't answer your specific question about the rack but here's my 2 cents and this is coming from a guy who owns a RTT. When ever I go camping with my kids (5 y.o. twins) I take a ground tent. I enjoy using my RTT but having my kids climb the ladder and the ingress/egress makes me...

    Isothermic Kit for James Baroud

    Hi, Anyone use an isothermic kit for their JB tent? Does it really work? When installing, which side faces in? Take care, Tom

    Roof top tent vs ground tent

    Here's my 2 cents on your dilemma. If you expect to fit 1 or 2 people max - Hard shell If you need to fit 3 or more - Soft shell If you value speed and ease of setup - hard shell If you want/need a connected annex - soft shell (could be partially addressed with an awning and side walls but...

    Washboard/rough gravel

    I agree on both solutions. Obviously the size tire you have to air down makes a big difference. I find speeding up to find the right speed makes a big difference also. A good example is the road between Ubehebe crater and the racetrack in Death Valley, CA. I'm doing ~45-55mph and the road is...

    Go-pro knock off

    Maybe I'm getting older because I used to not care but I'll pay a little more for quality and towards a company in the US versus something made by a company in China who's knocking off an American product. The new GoPro's are not that expensive, look sleeker and are smaller. I don't work for...

    Best Bang for Buck Overland Rig

    Based on budget I would go with a Jeep Cherokee. They're plentiful , inexpensive, capable with tons of mods available.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Upgraded my brakes which became the weakest link after all the extra weight and 37"s. Dynatrac Progrip.

    Roof top tent vs ground tent

    I'm a RTT convert also. However, I prefer the hardshell RTT versus the soft flip over design where you need to open windows with poles and add a cover.
