    CVT takedown video

    Here's a time lapse video of me putting away my Mt. Shasta CVT on my Humvee trailer. No real reason other than I was playing around with the GoPro today.

    Let's see those full size rigs - Trucks & SUV

    Wow, I've actually been to that little store. Rode my mountain bike to the top of a lookout near there and ran into some lady that appeared to be squatting in the lookout and living there with her little dog.

    Interior Accessories

    I love the ScanGaugeII. I have it hooked up all the time in my Hummer and use it primarily as a more accurate engine water temp monitor than the built in analog gauge. Comes in handy for reading just about anything from the truck's computer, including engine codes.

    Not your typical Overland Vehicle (pics)

    Here's my not so typical rig. 1996 AM General Hummer with a CVT tent mounted atop a government surplus M1101 HMMWV trailer.

    Post Up Your Cockpit

    Here's a photo I took earlier this summer after I had given my interior a good cleaning. Out of the shot is my ScanGaugeII to the left of the steering wheel.

    ARB 12v didn't fit my GoalZero port

    I accidentally discovered another hack that works much more cleanly than the one in my video above. This is the spring that sits on a mountain bike quick release skewer. Just unscrew the end of the ARB's 12v plug, put the spring over the fuse, remove the metal end piece that normally retains the...

    Anyone interested in an all electric overland rig?

    I think this just gives you an excuse to be "stranded" in the middle of nowhere while your solar trickle charges your rig enough to get you home again.

    Internal fridge drawers

    Our ARB packing technique could best be described as "pile it into the fridge." We end up with things buried deep in the bottom of the fridge, bags leaking, things thawing, and in general it kindof turns into a mess by the end of the trip. What I think I need is a system of watertight vertical...

    ideas for solving this trailer hitch problem?

    With the trailer directly behind my truck the swing away tire carrier runs into the lever to which the emergency brake cable attaches. I'd like to be able to swing the tire carrier out all the way regardless of how the trailer is angled. Would the best way to solve this be to get a different...

    Overlanding with cast iron skillet

    I love cooking in cast iron and always take a skillet with me on trips. I have a rag dedicated to washing it, otherwise I go through the paper towels like there's no tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone has any good techniques for storing and traveling with your cast iron. Even when I try to...
