I wish I could get by with a minimalist tool kit. But when you drive a 22 year old rig, you go minimalist in other areas! [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

And disposable nitrile gloves too! Nothing like grabbing a steering wheel with greasy hands to make an apparently bad day worse! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I do all of my own, I'm sure partly because I installed 12 volt electronics for YEARS, both auto and marine. I'm still in the "field, but I've switched to the home and commercial side of a/v and control systems. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

zulander_overland here!

Thanks Steve!

I've heard about that duraplate stuff. Sounds pretty nice! Looks like a solid platform to build on for sure! I wish I could replace my curved fenders, but the passenger side of the trailer is out galley, and I haven't found ones yet that would still allow us to open the side door, where the...

Thanks! A walk around video is scheduled as we've had a lot of requests for it. Headed to PINS (Texas coast) this weekend. Plan to shoot it then if it's not too windy.

Probably my favorite to date in the Lone Star State. We're looking north, across the Rio Grande, at the Chisos Mountains. You'd think we're in Mexico, but we're not!

Here's our boy Andre, doing what he does best. Keeping an eye on camp...

Can a brotha get an upgrade?? :sunglasses: 4865

Hey Folks! Mike here. Finally getting into the forums after getting my badge about 3 weeks ago (#4865). We hail from Central Texas, and get out with our Trooper and custom trailer as often as we can. And our Great Dane Andre is usually hogging all the cargo room in the Troop. That's one...

My turn: San Marcos, TX. Driving a 95 Isuzu Trooper pulling a '56 pickup bed converted into our camp trailer, with a RTT. I wouldn't call the trailer overland ready just yet, but he (Sid) is getting close! He's taken us out on several tame adventures in the 9 months we've owned him, and had...
