I do this when I go to music festivals. Just have a stand alone charged car battery, A 1000k watt inverter, with projector, laptop, cellphone, gopro all charging. Works great! It's just a spare battery I had lying around so I don't care about ruining it too much. I just bring it home and throw...
I would say get a shackle kit for your hitch. They are about $60 and can take a good yank. The standard "screw in" tow ring is really only made for pulling the vehicle on flat ground, with freely moving wheels or winching it up onto a flat bed, might become a projectile if you try to yank/get...
I hate to say it, but if you wheel, and they offer you some kind of tire protection plan, take it. I've already had Discount Tire (America's Tire) replace ALL 4 of my all terrain TA with brand new ones TWICE for free because of sidewall punctures. Normally I would say they aren't worth the...
I wanted to hardwire my 1000 watt cobra power inverter under my seat, but I was concerned about water entering the cab during a water crossing. Of course I'm not going to be USING the inverter at a time when water has a possibility of entering the cab. I'm not that dumb....BUT I am not too...
I remember being a kid and going on all kinds of shooting and fishing adventures with my dad in his 94 toyota pickup. We always had such an amazing time exploring back roads, reabing maps, and just enjoying the great outdoors. Then he got into a terrible car accident and totaled his back and his...
I'm with this guy. There is a fine line between over priced and too cheap to bother. I have learned though that with a lot of things like tent, cooking supplies, cold/wet weather gear. (pnw guy here) you generally get what you pay for. I've used cheap stuff and I can attest that there are just...
I had a boss once who pined over my fully expidition equipped 4runner. He had an AMG g-wagon and would constantly tell me it's clearances and forging depths and what not. One day he asked me if I knew anywhere he could use his g string I mean g wagon without any getting it dirty or risking...
35s for overlanding. No. I go with a 265-75/16 bfg all terrain. I do probably about 60/40 highway/offroad. This keeps fuel consumption down, wear and tear down, and gets me through just about a very thing I've encountered off road.

Air down and speed. But trying to make a quick stop on a washboard road at speed is quite the interesting situation. Do so with caution.

I use a Gerber Machete in camp, but if I need a saw, a good ol home depot 16" hack saw is light weight a great.

I've been in hellish winds that felt like a bull was ramming into the side of my rig. My CVT Mt Shasta extended series with annex held up amazing even with the window flaps open. It's like being in a fortress, it does make noise but I am still able to cook and sleep.

I'm with Manwithajeep. If it takes that much convincing, it might not be worth it. Although all it took was one night in my roof top tent to change my better half's mind, but her only issue was being cold.
