    What do you think are really good tires for most off road ventures

    So far I'm very happy with BFG Rough Terrain. Quiet, long lasting and perform well. Not great in mud but that's not what I really want to be trudging through.

    Good points. Even a van unless has a high roof is too short for standing. Most tents have the same issue. There is no perfect vehicle. You need to decide what compromises you are willing to live with. I have noticed a lot of people both 4x4es and RVers change vehicles after living with one...

    The OSB Box

    I love it. Any idea how much it weighs?

    Vans are great for many reasons. All the comments above are true. If you choose to go with a 2 wheel drive try to get one with limited slip. Invest in good tires. Don't plan on 4 wheeling with a van. If you push your limits recovery gear will be very helpful. Maxtrax, winch, recovery cables...

    If you can buy something already built try not to spend over $25K as there is always more to do. I spent $15K and have put another $4K and have not quite finished. $1000.00 for an unexpected AC compressor repair I wasn't counting on didn't help. There is always more to add. Trailers seem...

    It really depends on your money situation. There is nothing wrong with the 2011. To make it a 2011 TRD off road might cost 5K plus labor. But only you can decide if that's necessary. Take your $15K present vehicle add 5K or spend $40K. Or you could put the extra 20K into traveling and having...

    IPad Mounts

    I use a Rammount and I've been surprised how solid it is. Make sure you check out: Ipad mounts? - Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum

    Poor Mans Troopy build

    I had one of those I bought new. I really liked it and sold it too soon. Please remember that it doesn't have lockers or limited slip diff. If you go off road recovery gear will really help. (From experience) Tires I think are step 1. Then recovery gear. Then go have fun Enjoy

    Fake Overlanding?

    I think it depends. I was thinking for instance of a chainsaw. A better quality and more capable (larger bar) allows you to be more efficient when cutting large logs. Total overkill for small branches. Running off road beats up the vehicle. A better more capable vehicle will last longer with...

    Fake Overlanding?

    Vehicles are tools. The better and more capable the tool the more you can do with it more efficiently. We may not always have the need for all the capability of the tool but when you do you are glad you have it. I buy a tool based on what I think I will need and I can afford. I bought a 2010...

    Fake Overlanding?

    I think this definition is way too specific. Can't I overland America? Why months or years? If I like my camping spot why do I have to leave after 1 night? I think it's more about the journey than than the destination.
