    San Diego bound for OE West 2019

    Here's a standalone thread for those of us driving to Overland Expo West from the San Diego area. I'm currently planning to leave Encinitas early morning May 16 (THUR). I haven't yet plotted out any details, but I may camp THUR night somewhere near Black City Canyon. That's a little north of...

    US West Reoccurring - San Diego Overland Bound Monthly Meet - 09/27/2018

    Expo Overland West from San Diego ... who’s going and when from our area? I’m debating on when to leave, leaning towards starting early THUR and camping that night somewhere in between.

    2017 F350 Overland

    In a few weeks I'm getting custom cabinets and a jerry can rack installed in my bed. The first pic below is my before shot. A local shop in our area fabricates parts made to order, and I'm optimizing storage w/o compromising floor space. I'm also adding some more pics from Crystal Cove State...

    US West Reoccurring - San Diego Overland Bound Monthly Meet - 09/27/2018

    Hey guys quick question. I was at the mtg last week and a few of you mentioned recently doing a ham cram to get your license. Where did you go for that? I definitely want to get er done before Overland Expo West. Thx

    2017 F350 Overland

    Thx for the positive feedback, again. I’m also really curious about the upcoming Bronco, can’t wait. I just read a teaser about the 7.3 gasser. It’ll be interesting to see how that comes to market. The shop that installed my new bumper is Goose Gear in Westminster, CA. The owner, Brian, is a...

    New rear bumper is hung. I had a hit and run a few weeks ago while parked overnight in a Marriott Hotel lot.

    2017 F350 Overland

    I was able to sneak in a quick over nighter at Crystal Cove Campgrounds in Laguna. Great place with nice facilities and not a bad seat in the house

    2017 F350 Overland

    I ended up buying General Tire Grabber X3s. They get great reviews and so far I’m very pleased in mud and rainy freeway driving. I’ll get them in the snow soon.

    2017 F350 Overland

    20" x 9" rims (Dick Cepek Deegan 38), 275/65/R20 tires. I'm nearly ready to replace my tires, after barely 18K miles. I'm considering switching to BFG KM3s or Nitto Ridge Grapplers. For now, I'd prefer to stay with no lift/level, as I'm in a parking structure at work (barely fits as is)

    Sleeping bags.

    Look at Big Agnes brand. They make many fill/temperature options and oversized cuts in many models

    2017 F350 Overland

    I had my (Frontrunner) rack installed last week. I went to their SoCal shop and had them do it onsite. It looks nice and they were great to deal with. I will definitely continue to work with them for more products going forward.

    Vehicle Security Tips

    Having recently had my truck stolen on a cross country road trip I know how important this thread is. When the dust finally settled from my insurance claim, I was out more than $50K to get into a new replacement vehicle. I’d suggest you look at a company called Ravelco, a simple, proven product...

    Super Duty bumpers input

    It doesn't look like Mercenary currently makes bumpers for Super Duty trucks post 2015. They do look nice though, so I'll keep watch.

    Super Duty bumpers input

    Hello. I’m curious what experience our community has with after market bumpers for 2017+ Super Duty trucks. There are many choices and I’m committed to replacing both front and rear over the next few months. I haven’t yet landed on a permanently mounted winch or one I can move between front and...
