    RedRob, That's your right to do. However, I was reporting Mario's and Clay's opinion - was just that, reporting. Now I'll share my opinion. 98% of most Overlanders, fall into the "Weekend Warrior" class - out early Friday Evening, Wheeling-Fishing-Just Camping, Back home on Sunday afternoon...

    Aluminum vs steel wheels

    What you are looking for is a "255/80 R17" is the closest thing. Standard tires are 31" 32" 33" 35" - 34" isn't standard.

    Beginning a build

    Reality First... Determine what and where you want the truck to go. Where and how you're going to camp. What activities you're going to do, while in camp (Flyfishing, Mtn Biking, Climbing, Hiking, etc). All these things matter, before you spend your first dime. Take 100% of all your camping...

    Overland Travel Series

    Yep, especially in the riparian areas for the Mountain Valley floors, Sun Valley, Stanley, Mackey Bar, Boulder-White Clouds, Sawtooths and the back side of the Tetons. The western States have nothing to compare too, to the New England States "Leaf Peepers"...

    Overland Travel Series

    I think Fall is best, Mid-Sept to Mid-Nov, we can still get some hot days, but the Snow normally doesn't fly until after Thanksgiving on the valley floor. 2nd Best is Spring, Mountain meadow wild flowers and the streams are still fish able. Summer takes 3rd, and unless you like playing in the...
