    Pacific Northwest Gets an Overland Expo

    Brutal honesty is that the bulk of the vendors in the aftermarket off road and overland gear are mainly east of Mississippi, and there are probably more folks that rig their vehicles for climbing up the side of a mountain rough terrain travel out there near one of the shows, and that's what...

    Running long term Iceco fridge - off solar generator & panel - and issues with IceCo

    I can't speak about this person's model, but my ICECO JP40 which cost me just a little above $500 on sale uses the same Germany SECOP Compressor that both ARB and Dometic use. I couldn't justify paying over $800 doallrs for the same capacity and the name. When we are not traveling, we have it...

    A 2 wheel drive sedan, a good tent with a campstove to cook your meals and storage for campsite supplies supplies works for a lot of families. You don't need to win the lottery to be an "Overlander". Spend your money on good basic campsite equipment, drive what you have, enjoy yourself, and...

    My wife (born in Germany) and I would love to ship our Toyota Tacoma Off Road over to Europe to travel around, but the costs are to expensive. Easier to travel by train with a backpack.

    Billstein 5100. Can I lift front w/o lifting rear, What's the best set up?

    My 2020 Toyota TRD DCLB Off Road is going to get the Bilstein 6112's with a 2" lift up front, and the 5160's in the rear with possibly an A.A.L. (brand to be determined), as I have a Leer truck cap, with a full Sherpa rack on the cap on it full time, and that is a constant load of 250 pounds. I...

    I run the General AT's on my 3/4 ton Chevy 4x4 truck, and they work well on that.

    What do you use for weather forecast?

    Any unobstructed view of the outside (a.k.a. any type of window). Where we live, the adage of "If You Don't Like The Weather, Wait A Minute" really holds truth..... :sunglasses:

    Overland Expo East 2022 "You know what we need to do next year is...."

    I just might go for the day, but camp out the night before near there, and then drive in to attend. I then would keep heading down to St. Pete. (have a house down there) seeing as I have done the majority of driving down to Florida already. Always good seeing like minded folks, shooting the...

    How are you hauling your Gazelle T4 tent?

    Long bed. I have a Sherpa Equipment Co. "Crow's Nest" full rack coming for the roof of the Leer cap I have on my Tacoma, and I will be putting a Yakima or Thule Skybox up there to put the tent up there when we travel to keep it out of the elements. For now, it travels inside the truck bed with...

    Overland Expo East 2022 "You know what we need to do next year is...."

    It appears that the greater perceived interest, and even the ability to overland is greater west of the Mississippi due to the vast expanse of lands and places to go that are currently popular (which is baloney, I.M.H.O.). East of the Mississippi has as many interesting places to travel to, and...

    I'm there as long as I'm healthy, and the creeks don't rise (as they say in these parts of NC).
