Thanks. Having fun!

Well I haven't had a lot of time an money to put into the Overlander but adding a few things this spring/early summer. First thing is I got some Waterbricks as my water storage system. Compact, stackable, and will make transporting water much more secure and useful. So far I really like...

Gig Harbor, WA. Currently it is a balmy 58 degrees topping out at 79 today. I think it got to 90 once this year. Truly God's country. Don't tell anyone. :)

She had a great rookie season. Settled in after being a little timid at first, but she got the hang of it. She ended the season having retrieved 60 ducks. She started breaking a bit at the end because she got so excited, but we will fix that. Rather have that problem than not wanting to go...

Well here is the latest video of a walk around of my rig. I will not be doing anything else this season. Now it is time to use it! It also has video of a local car show that I took it to. We are hoping to get more overlanders to come out! links are being weird on here. So if you hare having...

I have a guy who I am going to have build it for me. I think they are way too pricy. They are not that complicated and there are a ton of build videos out there. I also forgot bumpers and a winch should also be on the list. :) I look forward to seeing what you do! A lot of folks start with...

Thanks! I am having fun. Doing wiring right now. Not my favorite. I will keep making the update videos, but coming to the end of this years modifications. It all ends with the Truckfridge being delivered on Friday! Money budgeted for overloading (and a bit more) is now spent...

I am a duck hunter and I have also started archery deer and elk. Used to hunt deer with a rifle but took the "growing kids up" years off and just focused on waterfowl. Now my son and I pursue the elk and deer with the bow. That is what got me into overlanding. I also have a dog American...

Look into Wavewalk kayaks. I have a couple and you aren't stuck in one position. They are incredibly stable and much different than any kayak you have ever been in. I have a couple. As to naming them I have neither named my kayaks or my vehicle, but I have been asked about it multiple times...

Solar panel storage. I have some aluminum angle attached to the underside of the bed slide so I just put it up there and bolt it. It is a 180w solar panel.

First real trip was elk hunting and have improved a few things since then but loving having a more capable rig that allows for getting to and staying in wild places!

Hi Gabe, Might be fun sometime. I am a Pastor when not playing outdoors so I have a really tight schedule I am already booked until September Elk hunting! So not a lot of room but I appreciate the idea of it and maybe I will find some spot to do a trip or two. Just getting into it but I...

Hello, New to the community. I live in the Gig Harbor, WA area. Vehicle is a 1997 Chevy Suburban 1500 Newbie to overloading but been hunting and fishing (and going to the places where that is good) all my life. Looking forward to meeting other overlanders and enjoy ing the process of watching...

Next is I have beed doing a number of little things. Back up lights Recovery, computer, bed slide Drop Down Tables on the Barn Doors Next up is the Redarc and second battery system! It is in process right now!

Now that I had the roof rack and I was able to transport the kayaks, next was to start to address the camping. ARB awning and awning room was our choice. We added it with the intention of getting some sort of roof top tent as well but having used it for a year, we like it so much that we may...

That was the beginning of the process. Here are some of the results after the fab shop. Added a 10' piece of MDO 3/4 inch. Yes it was a little bit heavy but I will be stiffening the suspension anyway. In looking at the other options it was actually comparable to some of the steel options and...

First Mod the Roof Rack! For me the goal is capability. The standard roof rack on the suburban was ok, but I needed a much larger platform. I wanted to be able to carry 2 kayaks and potentially some version of a roof top tent. While my goals have evolved the rack was the place to start...

Hi Everyone, This is my second thread on this forum. Thought it should be sharing my project. I am getting into it enough that it might provide some creative inspirations to others doing some builds. There are all sorts of styles of overlanding so I think at the front end it is important to...

Hi everyone, First post to this forum. I will be doing a "build" thread as well after this one. But I wanted to invite anyone with an overland rig that would like to show what mods you have made to a little car show. Our church has a car ministry where they fix cars for folks who cannot...
