Im gonna be in the area in a while. Are you busy today? I am in my 18 wheeler though, but I think there is a little truck stop nearby there.

Fluffy And Rusty They are actually my sister's pups, but Fluffy has been across the USA a few times with me in the 18 wheeler, from Cali to Maine and back to the Northwest. So he's been overland, sorta...

Thanks for the tips. I was able to configure the magnify option so I can zoom in on my focus point. I will throw lightroom on the laptop over the weekend.

So I got my manual lenses now. On the olympus body it doesnt do the focus peaking automatically, so I set it to a custom button so I can turn it on. I was screwing around with the camera these last couple of days. I am getting the hang of shooting it on Shutter priority with the manual lenses...

Pulled over for the night and took this at a rest area.

Like DaveT mentioned, lots of the ambulances have a high idle option. Shuttle busses and certain pickups and vans I move have this feature. It helps keep the extra items running and increases oil pressure too. It is very common in the trucking industry to idle up the motors to keep the oil...

If you choose Panasonic or Olympus you can get some small pancake zoom lenses for them to make them compact. The mid range ones have some relatively compact bodies. I personally have a Olympus OMD EM5 Mkii, I ended up sticking a grip on it to make a bit bigger. But without it, it is nice and...

I just got a 8mm F4 lens for my Olympus, [so 16mm because of the crop factor]. Its all manual so that should be decent for this kind of stuff. I just have to find the time to get out and experiment with it. I also ordered a 12mm [24mm] f2 Rokinon so hopefully I can figure out how to use them.

If you have enough beers the wind won't bother you! These were taken at TDS 2018, the wind was rough at night, but I slept fine. But I am not a light sleeper. When I parked I faced the Drivers side(left side for non US folks) towards the wind and left the awning and fly down on that side...

Bought a set of LCP gullwings for my 80! Next I need to reorganize the cargo area a bit. Wife can reach in too using the step.

How much of a budget are you working with? And how handy are you? I built a all aluminum rack for my 80 out of t slot extrusions and C channel. About 500 in materials and hardware and mounting feet for my gutter rails. Plenty strong to hold my RTT and Awning!! I got the 2x1.5 inch c channel...

My favorite was your self walking dog.

Was nice to meet some nice people with nice rigs. Thanks to front runner for the coffee and bagels/donuts. Got a few things I was missing! Hope to go again later in the year. Hopefully my A/C works then.

Firestik Ftw! Mine is an adjustable one, on a wilson gumdrop mount, works good. I have the wilson spring mount, but since I stuck it up behind the bumper I left it on. On the pickups, I like when the antenna is in the center, it makes them look like r/c cars lol!

CB is good for talking to trucks, but getting less popular on the road these days. You can get distance on CB radios, but that is all grey market, import type stuff. Ham seems to be more serious, and they definately have good range. I believe you get more bang for your buck on Ham when it comes...

I would say switch pro, but for me that one makes sense since I have seperate fuse blocks for all my accesories. I like the minimalist switch panel and the newer one allows color changing which is nice because you can match the lighting to the same color of the vehicle. (pet peeve of mine). Cost...

It auto rustproofs the undercarriage!

Solid axles are king!!! End of discussion! Just kidding, they both work well if you know their limits. My 80 has solid axles, but just because they are known to be stronger also doesnt mean I am going to do everything, foot to the floor all the time. He two previous posts make good points. The...

I've seen these in Nicaragua, I wonder how much they are changing for the American market. That size truck is very practical! I imagine they will be regeared, or paired up to different trannys since in other markets they really dont need to do more than 120k/h. Will be interesting to see what...

How big is that mppt controller? I have a renogy river 40a, but its huge, I have been eyeballing these because they look compact and you can get the bluetooth adapter for them. The renogy rover one is like 10 x 8 inches and like 3 inches deep. I am still waiting on a panel to mount it on, so i...
