    Interstate 5x8 Enclosed Multi-Use Trailer

    I have long envisioned a build on one of these with a bed that lifts to the ceiling, and a giant slide out framed with aluminum extrusion that had all of the storage,kitchen,power,etc mounted in it, all under a reinforced batwing effectively doubling the size of the trailer. I wait as the...

    Galley and sleeping platform system

    Looks great, nice work. tnutz.com is awesome, for those that don't know they will cut to your given dimensions very reasonably which also conserves on shipping. Their site is not a nice nor as complete as 8020.net but they have what is commonly needed and ship quickly in my experience. Cutting...

    Should we use 8020 or aluminium tube for our drawers and bed?

    8020.net has load modeling software available for free use. tnutz.com will sell you cut to length (accurately) extrusion saving some work for a very modest cut charge. Connectors are a little high, but if you are going to skin it with some type of board the board itself serves to unify the...

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    "Frozen gas lines" is a bullshit story. They shut the power plants in to avoid the surging natural gas "spot" price saving the utilities hundreds of millions of dollars in profit. ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) passed an emergency order today allowing the utilities to pass those...

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    LOL, see you're talking about moving to a more affordable place, all the while suggesting we shouldn't be concerned about where we live getting more expensive for purely political purposes. And to be clear when I say "political purposes" here is how it is done in our government: A politician...

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    Sales tax is collected at the point of sale , no complication there. One of the first things the previous administration dis was lower taxes for most, particularly the middle and lower income brackets when expressed as a percentage of total income, and simplify the tax code. There are a number...

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    For that to be meaningful they would have to survey the USA as 50 individual countries not as one. The political landscape is vastly different across the country and as a result State and local taxes that are applied. I bet that they haven't seen $1.86 for regular in Californistan in the last...

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    You are simply accepting that high taxes are a good reason for high fuel costs. I reject that notion categorically. High taxation is a function of inefficient and likely corrupt government. There is absolutely no shortage of oil, there is in fact a glut. Remember a year and a half ago when...

    Ram X mount movement....any ideas?

    If it moves and it shouldn't duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should WD40. For all other issues get a hammer. Seriously post some pics of what you've got and we might can help. Since it is a holder holding things, it is likely relying on either tension, friction, or both.

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    This is like saying America shouldn't complain about getting cancer because Europeans have had cancer for a long time now. Curious what nation you live in and how many miles on average you drive a year?

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    Insomuch as it is a violation of site policy to discuss the reason for currently existing and imminent fuel cost increases, I'll just say that I hope the folks who asked for that stupidity are the first ones to be affected, the most seriously affected, and the most long term affected.Simple...

    Differentials and lockers: experiences and recommendations

    Lockers are by nature an on when you need them off when you don't which is to say you will use them very infrequently. Front lockers dramatically increase steering effort so as a result reduce steering capability. Steep incline transitions like from a creek bed or river bed to an embankment are...

    What should be the first mod

    No matter where you go, no matter your brand of "overlanding" a good nights sleep is a critical component. So if you are going to be sleeping in, on ,or around your truck, make sure you are warm, dry and comfortable. For me, mobility, shelter, food , self rescue/extraction, fire suppression...

    Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else. We will not further define "overlanding".

    Why don't you just lock this thread up for me @M Rose, nothing beneficial is being accomplished here. I'll not waste any more of your time.

    Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else. We will not further define "overlanding".

    Absolutely, I'm just asking the other members, mods and staff to help guide that conversation so it doesn't end up a poo flinging event as so frequently happens
