Check out Northstar before you buy either. They make some great batteries! They were all we used aboard ship when I was in the Navy... Battle ready! Automotive

Check out Northstar AGM batteries before you buy. I’ve used them for years and wouldn’t use anything else.

Nice! Congrats. I'm partial to TLCs! Both of mine are/were J40s. I'm a member of the local TLCA club called Battle Born Cruisers and we do monthly trail runs. Hit me up if you ever wanna join us. Next one is to the lagomarsino petroglyphs and it is a stock rig friendly day trip scheduled for...

The Samsung tablet is as good as any other for this purpose. We don't need a lot of compute to run maps/gps apps, so that is good. I was eyeballing this one before I remembered I had an iPad mini somewhere. Free is good! The key is to make sure the tablet has a dedicated radio for GPS. Some...

Yep, no worries! It will take a while to get my kit where I want it too. Long time and expensive. One bolt at a time! :) I am planning on running a set of sliders from Whiteknuckle 4x4. They have reasonable prices and they are a small shop (from my hometown!). I like supporting small businesses...

Here’s my $.02. Take it or leave it. :) I am an old school off road guy who likes to camp. I am in the midst of outfitting my main overland rig (while doing a resto on my 68 FJ40). My Bronco is a bit older, but I think the basics still apply to any build. Make sure the vehicle is mechanically...

Nice. Congratulations! I like the Rangers better than Canyons and Tacos. I see lots of potential for the platform.

Yep. I'd choose a Land Cruiser over any other vehicle! Great choice. Congratulations!!!

I am a member of a local 4x4 club too and I'm trying to pull some folks from there. I'll post here if I end up getting some takers so folks can meet up with us.

Anyone wanna wander around Verdi, Peavine, Dog Valley, Stampede area next weekend?

I took my Beater Bronco out and did some donuts in a dirt lot near my house. I'm down to do some exploring after work this week or next weekend. My Bronco is pretty much stock, so I can't do anything too crazy. :)

Of the options you presented, for Overlanding, I'd go with a Rubicon, but I'd go out of my way for an 80 Series Land Cruiser before entertaining anything on your list (Heavy Toyota bias [emoji6]). For trail riding and recreation only I'd love get a modified RZR from Red Dot Engineering. Looks...

I think it depends on the job. I have found shorter handled shovels handy when I’m digging out an axle and space is an issue and the longer ones are nice when I am upright or need some extra reach. I used to carry a longer garden shovel and a shorter shovel so I had what I needed. I also used to...

I too am a big fan of Cold Steel products. I like their Special Forces Shovel as it can double as a cutting, throwing, defense tool as well and at $25, the price cannot be beat. Cold Steel is legendary for building extremely strong weapons and tools too and I have no fear of putting them to the...

Excellent. I just did an RSVP for the GPS training at the Collective. I look forward to meeting you and the others.

Oh Cool! Thanks. I’ll see if I can make it.

Hey Folks! I'm new to OB and just made my first post in the new members thread. @HappyOurOverlanding suggested I check out this thread since I'm in the Reno area. I'm excited to be here and look forward to meeting you all face-to-face. Thanks!

Thanks @HappyOurOverlanding! I see there are monthly meetings for the Reno area. I'll try to get out there for the next one so I can meet you and others in person. I'll check out the thread you shared too. :)

Thanks! :)

Hey Everyone! I just joined a few days ago, but I've been an avid offroader, camper all my life. I've been busy being a dad for the last 17 years and now that I'm in my 40's, my kids need less of my money, and have a little more cash in my pocket, I've decided to dive back into offroad. Low and...
