Looks great. I bet you could set up camp in 30 minutes off of that trailer. I hate to invite you there to work. I'm on call 24/7 and can't guarantee I will be there to work. Once the place is built, I'll invite people out or maybe host a regional overnight meeting so we can camp to get...

If I ever get my barndominium on 5 secluded acres built, I'll invite you over. You can show me your trailer and I'll show you my barndo. I plan to do grid intertied solar and either a well or rain water collection. I'll start looking hard for land East of Dallas as soon as the divorce is...

Love the trailer setup. Once I build my house and shop, I'll have to learn to weld and try to build something like that. My son is a diesel mechanic and he'd love to help with something like that. That looks like it would do pretty well off road.

Congratulations. Is it the eco boost 4 or did you get the hybrid?

I'm not trying to put down anybody's decision to buy a RTT. It's your money and your decision. We all have different wants and needs. As someone looking to get into overlanding, I'm just trying to wrap my head around the choices and figure out what I want. My wants and needs can evolve, but...

I always appreciate brutal honesty. It tends to save me money and heartache. Truth be told, I only get 3 weeks of vacation per year and tend to work 50-70 hours per week and will only get to camping/overlanding maybe 5-6 times per year. I WANT a Gladiator anyway and I won't need to drive it...

I get it that it's easy to set up, safer from wildlife, and they give you more privacy. They are really cool looking, but then I see the price of the tent, and then I see the price of the rack to mount the tent. Anytime you want to run to town for supplies or camp several days in the same...

I make a point to buy items that are USB rechargeable and keep them on charge until needed. Especially flashlights. I keep a hand crank/solar/USB chargeable emergency radio/flashlight at home and on the road. The radio will also charge my phone or flashlight if needed. Paper trash is good...

Hand sanitizer will start a fire in a pinch. We all have plenty of that.

I wanted to give one of my sons just a middle initial instead of a middle name. Wife wouldn't go for it. She really didn't go for the middle number idea.

You could grill steaks on that over the camp fire.

I'm just repeating what they told me. It was in a diesel if that makes a difference. No spark plugs.

Some people in Jeeps are reporting a 2 mpg bump because load is being taken off of the alternator. Solar is expensive, but it might be your answer. https://www.cascadia4x4.com/collections/vss-system/products/land-cruiser-80-series-lexus-lx-vss-system-90-watt-hood-solar-panel

Don't Tundras have the rear glass that slides down? A sleeping deck under a topper with drawer storage under the sleeping deck might work. You could let your feet hang inside through the window or come up with some kind of back seat deck along the bottom edge of the window. Easy access to the...

I have a Texas LTC and carry a Kimber Micro 9 anytime I leave the house unless I'm working on Federal property.

An AT tire is a good place to start. BFG K02 is where many start. Road noise is OK. I've gotten 60k miles out of a set before. They are snow rated. I've heard some people complain of not enough sidewall protection, but they have a proven track record for years of good performance.

First post here. I plan to order a new Gladiator as soon as the divorce is final. (Don't ask unless you want to hear the tawdry details.) I'll be a few months building it to anything overlanding worthy, as I am also looking to buy land and build a barndominium East of DFW. I drive a company...
