Yes, when I say "board members" I am referring specifically to members of the message board, Overland Bound members explicitly Then I'm just here to agree with the sentiment. Lol.

@bgenlvtex So my post may be irrelevant. I have a very specific view of the term "board members" due to my proximity to corporate and nonprofit management. Are you referring to OB as a message board and thus directing your suggestion to all users? If so, I will take my post down since it's not...

Welp, last year was a wash. Between life and lockdown I spent far too little time out and about. My schedule is still out of whack but at least free time is becoming more accessible again. It dawned on me the other day that I have yet to touch base with anyone in the community. Missed every...

Dirt and heat are primary alternator killers in my experience. Water is less of an issue. Contamination wears the hard-parts and heat kills the diodes. Older units are even less tolerant due to quality of design and materials. Make sure any covers, bought or fabricated, provide ventilation as...

I kinda wish, as a society, we would come to realize that chat threads, forums, blogs and comment sections are not conducive to substantive discussions on most topics. Text has a way of augmenting language and allowing for unnecessary (see: incorrect) interpretation into things like motive...

Welcome. Updates to your profile (rank, badges, ect) tend to have a delay. It'll show up.

Yes! Fantastic choice. Congrats

Different provinces have different rules. And it depends on the border guy you get as well. See what they say before you go about correcting modifications

Yeah so canada tends to be a little tighter on stuff than most, but not all, states. I can't speak to everything they flag but good rules of thumb are: - non-primary lights should have covers over them (light bars, ditch lights, aux fog lamps, etc). -tires should stick out no farther than 1/2"...

To make a long story short, I use it (back east) as an all encompassing explainer for why I stick out like a sore thumb with west coast folks. Saves a lot of headache. Admittedly it has become a habit to say and it does get thrown around quite a bit without thinking.

After much deliberation, the new addition to the family is an Esee PR4. Think I finally found my forever blade. The scales are a bit of a love it or hate it situation for some, but they are perfect for my hand; no hot spots after extended use and lots of traction. Been using it in the kitchen...

Now that is sexy.

Skids are No. 1. No question. You can go a lot of places in a Subaru when you don't have to worry about trashing you more vulnerable bits. I've seen too many punctured transmission pans and crushed oil pans on those things to change my mind. Edit: check out Primitive Racing and see what they...

As stated, temperatures are the main thing. Not all vehicles have actual gauges and others only read within an area of the sweep so oil pressure and system voltage are good ones to pay attention to. The rest are basically reserved for folks with a deeper knowledge of what they're looking for...

Most newer vehicles regardless of brand use "smart charging", it just means the it's controlled by proprietary ecu software instead of the old style voltage regulators. So don't worry about that too much as nice dual setups are used successfully by many people these days without issue. I'd be...

No Build Thread, still workshopping. 2008 Silverado 1500 Ext. cab 4x4 5.3, 4l60e, ~220k miles Not a perfect platform, but I've owned for over a decade and it's never failed to get me where I point it. Only notables: Truetrac, Dual batteries, baby truck cam, homebrew rack, Bilsteins and HD...

Big states; lot to see. I can also recommend highway 20 (north cascades highway) from Winthrop to the west side. Very beautiful and will be open by June (hopefully). I will also point you to the Washington Back Country Discovery Route (WABDR). You definitely don't have to do the whole thing, but...

Most of my issues with Nissan relate to ease of service. They are one of those companies that focus on ease of assembly with little regard for those of us who have to go back in and repair them. That said, the Titan is large enough that repairs are pretty straightforward. The 5.6 reliable if...

I cant in good conscience recommend an f150. There are too many of my customers (work/DD) that have had bad experiences with them. The 5.4 has valvetrain issues. I've done a water pump on every customer's 5.0 that we service- all before 50k miles. The rear has severe axle wrap in stock trim and...

So some of it is the added drag, as you would expect. And the only real way to combat that particular problem is with some sort of deflector. The other consideration is your higher center of gravity with it installed. It acts as leverage when you experience body roll; making it more...
