    Is the Overlanding community killing itself

    The competition to define a term is more divisive than the term itself. Everybody wants their version to be what a term is. Just do what makes you happy, call it whatever you want and ignore the nay sayers. It's 2024 men think they can be women,women think they can be men, and yet people are...

    22 inch all terrains for sand and gravel roads only

    Toyota AT3 is a good tire, you already seem to recognize th limitations of the low profile tires so I won't belabor that subject.

    What features would you most like to see in an overlanding trailer?

    Independent suspension(preferably air ride) and fully articulated hitch are where I would start.

    Anyone have a Jetboil Genesis Base Camp 2 Burner System?

    The wind screen is absolute garbage, it's kind of heavy, the formed wire handle falls off the rubber bungees are just looking for a reason to break, the footprint is pretty big with a bottle attached and it's too expensive at full retail. I have one, I love it and have used it extensively. It...

    Upcoming Trip- Vehicle Advice

    In 2024 I'm afraid any expectation that you will buy a road worthy and off road worthy vehicle for $5k that you can drive across the USA is extraordinarily optimistic, bordering on unrealistic. Drive what you've got, pay attention to what you really cannot do that the opportunity actually...

    12 volt lunch box oven - Recipies and how do you like it or not?

    I have one exactly like your picture that I used when working. It's biggest downside is lack of temperature control, but it DOES get hot so you just have to regulate time. If you put frozen stuff in it, it would burn part of it before all of it thawed, so you will want to start with thawed food...

    Spare Tire

    I wouldn't carry the weight without the benefit of being able to use it with impunity. A little googling should answer your "Will it fit?" question, if getting underneath and having a look doesn't answer the question. If you're still uncertain take one off the truck and see if it fits. I...

    Wow,outward appearance is that's a great deal, if you threw in a couple Go-Pros and a Skottle it's like an instant YouTube channel. But seriously, bump for a good deal. *you should edit in some engine/transmission details.

    Airing down Falken Wildpeaks AT3W

    I wouldn't go under 20psi with any brand tire unless some type of bead retention is utilized (bead lock or proven substitute like Method) if I planned on any steep obstacles. You can get away much lower on conventionally designed wheels until you start side loading and then it's coming off...

    20 gal aux fuel tank installed on trailer.

    I didn't for the reasons I stated earlier (legal and mechanical). I connect a12v fuel pump to the AN fitting on top and pump it off to the filler neck. The fittings on the tank I linked are pick up, return and vent( vent has roll over check ball. I keep the pick up and return capped and vent is...

    What is your favorite Go-To knife for overlanding.

    Did either of you have a man-bun? JK Benchmade will sharpen your knife for free for life if you need that and send it to them. Personally I do not.

    20 gal aux fuel tank installed on trailer.

    Make a hole or use longer plumbing, I don't know you'll have to figure that out, but I can tell you that you don't want fuel plumbed from your trailer to your truck. If you want it in your trailer use marine outboard tanks and just put them on top of your cover when you want to transfer fuel.

    20 gal aux fuel tank installed on trailer.

    It opens right? When transferring fuel from the back of the truck bear in mind static energy that will build up in metallic and some non-metallic components while you are going down the road. Use a bond wire to discharge static before transferring fuel and be mindful of fumes in the...

    20 gal aux fuel tank installed on trailer.

    You want a wet fuel connection to your trailer? No you don't. I would advise you to put it in the bed of the truck. Illegal in most places to gravity feed gasoline from auxiliary. Plumbing into the existing system will almost certainly cause problems with the tank pressure sensor and likely the...

    Non Lethal self protection

    LOL, the pointy end of a spear definitely qualifies as "lethal". I put an aluminum cap and a big screw in carbide traction bolt in the butt end of mine to serve as a translator, persuader and glass breaker.
