    Overland Bound Podcast S1 Ep.03 - Yeti and Yolo

    We used to sound like them and then we foolishly let life get in the way. Thought provoking. Great episode! John

    Back Country Navigator Review

    I use Canada Toporama maps on BCN myself. I found the NR Canada Topographic didn't look right and the info is super dated. Occasionally I'll use Open Cycle as well if I'm in or around towns. Only issues I have are there isn't a night mode so the screen is still too bright. If I turn the...

    Back Country Navigator Review

    There's definitely a learning curve. I muddled through it years ago when we used to go geocaching. Although, as time went on and more features were added it seemed we used it less. Google also changed how android accessed the SD card and map storage was eating up space on the phone instead. I...

    Best Bang for Buck Overland Rig

    While I miss my XJ, I'd go with what I can sleep in, in a hasty camp (think late night run and you're knackered). The only mechanical issue I've experienced with my Cherokee was the crankshaft position sensor which was a cheap but pain in the @$$ to replace. On second thought, I can sleep...

    Back Country Navigator Review

    I've been using this for about 4 years. Especially in northern Alberta where there minimal cell service. Sadly there's limited map options up here in Canada . Nice thing with BCN, even if you don't have a mapset downloaded, you can still keep a track going for the trip back out.

    HID vs LED

    Absolutely. Most people don't seem to think that after a simple mod like that, one needs to adjust the aim of the beam for that very reason (and after adding a lift too).

    HID vs LED

    While I have nothing more than factory halogen bulbs, I had considered LED for a while due to their low demand for electricity compared to HID. Long story short, LED don't melt snow or ice. Freezing rain turning to snow while on a highway means you need to stop a lot to clear the lights off ...

    Welcome to the Western Canada thread

    Shout out from Edmonton. Now that we've finally got around to fixing the transfer case issues I'll be able to get out off the beaten path more often without fear of needing recovery :yum:

    My "low key" overland pig

    I upgraded from a Ford minivan to an 06 Sierra 2500HD extended cab for work as an owner operator industrial courier. Well, oil industry took a nosedive recently as most are aware (here in Alberta anyway). Year later I left the courier biz after I paid the truck off. As she looked the day we...

    1. Edmonton, AB 2. 06 GMC Sierra 2500HD 3. 10 years in the Canadian Forces (medical release in 2003). Overlanding for business and pleasure since 86, when we just called it camploring. OK maybe I was the only one who called it that. And, a parking lot shot. And when we're not surrounded by...

    Chevy Silverado

    How 'bout an 06 Sierra 2500HD? Having said that, I too am in the early stages of mine. I find lots a great info on the Dieselplace forums (I'm a gasser but a lot of the info transfers over)
