    Oklahoma overlanders where ya at?

    I was wondering when they would cancel bonfire... it seems everything is shutting down. Don’t get me wrong, I understand it. But it’s still no fun...

    Recovery rope vs recovery strap

    Years ago I used to run the Canadian River bottom, all on sand. we had to use @Boostpowered method. It works well when needed, and that’s what I consider a running start. But I also agree that it’s not my go to option out of the gate. But sometimes you don’t have a choice...

    Recovery rope vs recovery strap

    I agree with the kinetic ropes being the way to go. Definitely not cheaper option, but they work much better I’ll edit to add a little reasoning on my choice... kinetic ropes will pull you out of a suction/stuck spot without the harsh jerk that would happen with a typical strap. That’s how...

    Expedition Happiness

    That one is really good. I also liked this one I stumbled onto. Not filmed as well, but worth a watch no less.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    thats exactly where we are in it, seeing what works and what doesn’t for us. It’s easy to get wrapped up in what is “needed” before you even know. I have done that many times in the past. wanting a full size bed really limited my storage options, but it makes it comfy, and that keeps us both...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    you’re assuming correctly. As for now, we are using a small-ish soft sided cooler that I just sit on it/wedge where it fits. Not perfect, but it’s best I can come up with at the moment for it. my drawers hold most our small stuff/recovery gear for the moment, my plan is to use my Thule cargo...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Test fit the mattress and put a sheet over it. Still have to build a true cover, but this will make it useable for now foam factory did a great job making it to my exact specs. If anyone ever needs a custom foam mattress. I highly recommend them.

    Suspension for 2019 Toyota Tundra

    I can’t speak for super lift kits, as I haven’t installed that brand in over a decade. However, the airlift products that I’ve used/installed have seemed to work well. I put a couple sets on some titan xd diesels (one of which is lifted) about 1 1/2 years ago, and the customer is still happy...

    Has there been any thoughts/word of this event being repeated this year for 2020?

    Oklahoma overlanders where ya at?

    Welcome, vehicle choice is a tough one. Do lots of research, and drive multiple before deciding is my recommendation. We love our 4Runner, but everyone’s wants/needs are different, so just make sure whatever you pick works for you.

    Oklahoma overlanders where ya at?

    Sadly, I can not make April the 11th. I am covering a shift for a coworker that day. Which really sucks, but it is what it is.

    Let’s see some bridges

    This one is on the old highway 99 near wolf, ok over little river. The county demolished the first 15 or so feet not seen here to keep people off it. The stringers aren’t touching bank hardly, it will be gone one day I’m sure

    Let’s see some bridges

    This is that same bridge. It’s one of my favorites. I have spent many days under it. Those days were way back before soggy bottoms existed though. Lol Ironically, I now live relatively close to it and haven’t been back over there in a long time

    Let’s see some bridges

    I have a love for the old abandoned bridges that are left behind. We find quite a few on our drives out to places around here let’s see some of them! I’ll start us off with the Carpenter’s Bluff Bridge over the Red River on the Texas/OK state line

    Oklahoma Adventure Trail Sulphur to Boswell

    We decided to go do some of the OAT this last Saturday. I have been wanting to do it since I discovered it, which coincidentally is how I found OB. we didn’t follow the preset “legs” of it per say, we started close to the house south of sulfur, ok then headed east toward Hugo before turning...

    My first attempt at offroading... yikes

    A day out on a trail is never a failure IMHO. It may not be how you planned it, but at least you got out there. Next time will be easier, and you learn something every time you go out. Even if it’s to check the map every time. as far as scratches, I am wrapping our 4Runner with clear vinyl to...

    Can gmrs and cb share power supply?

    Yeah. That thought crossed my mind already too. another benefit is if I move the GMRS to fender it will clear my carport. So I think add a second coax, and mount to fender is where I’m headed.

    Can gmrs and cb share power supply?

    i agree totally on that. I didn’t think about it the night I ran power wires though. One radio at a time until a secondary fuse block will be my safety measure for now. that’s actually my plan. As well as secondary battery to power it all. Just haven’t gotten there yet, lol
