One cannot "carry" in some states, as well as in some locations within carry states; it gets dicey. Additionally, when I crossed into Canada they asked me if I had bear spray, which is not legal to carry into Canada, even though you can go right to an outfitter store in Canada after Canadian...
Aluminum rims are lighter so they have less unsprung weight, an advantage, although steel rims are stronger, their advantage. I've used my aluminum rims for years w/o an issue, but if I was into rock crawling I would use steel rims for sure.
I think there may be a misconception "out there"...
Hey TrippinStfflr, not sure about you but I will camp anywhere I can. I've tented in on and off ramps, behind gas stations, etc. IMO being able to find places to camp in cities is VERY valuable.
I say go for it, add all the places you know about, that is what makes this app great, EVERYONE'S...
Wow, pretty amazing. I was in China 24 years ago as well as recently. The first time "every" scooter had a small 2 cycle engine, this latest time "all" scooters were electric.
SO I guess there are MANY solar panels in use in China. Cheap electricity, once you buy the panel!
I see the Trump admin just put a tariff on solar panels and washing machines from China, so you purchased your solar panel just in time; I've read most solar panels are made in China.
nickburt, thanks for the clarification. What do you travel in, 4wheel wise, as in your picture?
We are looking for something else, we now have a Toyota FJ60 Land Cruiser. Earthcruiser and Maltec camper are interesting for us, so far.
In my youth, I bought a "Cotswald" from my grandparents...
ALSO national carry reciprocity narrowly missed being passed by Congress about 9 years ago.
And in late 2017, the same law passed the House, but now it needs to pass the Senate.
IF you care about this, join the NRA and urge your Congresspersons to pass National CCW Reciprocity so if you travel...
There is a lot of good information here, thanks for the thread and the subsequent replies.
BUT depending on how old a post is, what a post says MAY no longer be the case because laws change, federal and state.
SO check for yourself, and NOT with a LEO, they have so much to deal with and so much...
iOverlander is a new app for finding free campsites, worldwide, see
ioverlander.com
It’s all based on user input content and allows you to pull up places within about 100km of where you are.
If you look it up you will see there is not much posted about free camping in the US, YET, but with self...
Spacers have definite disadvantages I am not willing to accept (less bearing life, etc.).
Steel versus aluminum; they each have their advantages and disadvantages, I chose aluminum for less unsprung weight and am willing to accept they are more susceptible to bending compared to steel wheels...
No gas shortages in the east, but keep a "full-ish" tank out west, but that pretty much always applies out west, at least with a stock gas tank .
Not too much of a worry overall, just be prudent.
More info as I am seeing interest in driving the TAT.
Overview about my equipment again:
I've done it with 2 friends; first, we were on our mid '80s BMW R80G/Ss, just 'cause! and we like them, and then my wife and I drove the TAT in our off road worthy Land Cruiser FJ60.
We had no problems...
The cruiser that I would not mind having is an 80 imported from Japan by Land Cruisers Direct
http://www.landcruisersdirect.com/
They are near St. Louis, Missouri. The owner, Steve Jackson, picked out a REALLY nice 80, automatic, diesel, etc., and up fitted it to suit his family's off roading...
Nice Rig!
Does the sag on the Jeep, due to the trailer tongue weight, bother you? If so what options might you consider to be able to raise the rear end so it your Jeep is level?
