Is that because you have one and are just a bit biased, or are there specific details that make the 94 better than say a 96 or a 93? Sent from my HTC6545LVW using OB Talk mobile app

I can't answer for the roof versus rear rack with first hand knowledge, but me personally I'd rather use the rear swing out arm. The reason is purely about practicality of accessing the tire if it were needed. The spare tire can be heavy and awkward moving around, not to mention putting the flat...

Hello, This may seem like a strange question, but I was wondering how much support is required for the external jerry can shelves/holders? And, how are they installed? I'm assuming you take the back paneling off and have a support plate inside that gets bolted through the skin of the door in...

Looks beautiful. Big Bend is one of the places I keep wanting to visit but never have.

Yeah, these are cool, a great vehicle, I would love one myself, but I would have recognized it. The truck I saw once and didn't identify was something similar to this but it wasn't a Land Rover. Or maybe it had some body additions or mods that tricked me. I only saw it in passing. Sent from my...

That's the newer one, the older ones were more blocky. Haha. You know, now that you mention the defender like truck, I think I know what you are thinking about, but I only saw it once and not close enough to see what it was. It had the doors off, looked almost European military. Sent from my...

Interesting read. Nicely done. I remember liking the look of the LM002. There's another SUV, an odd one that I can't remember the name. I think it began with an L, something like LADA, Lamda? Anyway, I believe it used Ford 5.0 engines (or maybe the ones converted for the US did?), was square...

Thanks. The outlaw hideouts book especially sounds intriguing.

Looks good. Found AZ, Moab, CO, and CA - sadly not one for NM.

How about NM and the southwest (CO, UT, AZ, etc.)? I know there are several. I recently got a couple of maps and map books for NM (like a gazetteer), but something specific with trails and roads would be even better for planning routes first time visits to new areas. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm curious about the various solutions people have come up with for carrying water and for dispensing it when needed. Especially those that are using vehicles only, and not trailers. How much water do you carry? And how long are you relying on it? How often do you refill? I'm using a...

Making me jealous. I've wanted to do the AlCan highway for years, but never have been able to make the time and money variables come together at the same time. Haha. Yellowstone is a great park, visit in the winter or off season if you get the chance and haven't already, otherwise it can be...

Missed this little gem. Talk about making some great memories together. You two are going to have a blast. California to Alaska. Great trip. Looking forward to hearing about your trip and hopefully seeing pictures.

Hah, great job! And great deal! The REI garage has some pretty good deals. Almost bought a kayak a few years ago. I wish I had a store closer though.

Hi, and welcome! $300 for a RTT? I've seen some good deals at REI, but that's crazy. How'd you pull that off? Guessing combination of coupon and using dividends? I'm sure you and your son will love it. My daughter loves sleeping in our RTT. Looking forward to getting out again one weekend...

The diesel Excursion is something I'd like too. Though it's just my daughter and I, and 2 dogs. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using OB Talk mobile app

Hi, and welcome to OB! What part of Nebraska are you in? I've spent a bit of time there myself (Kearney, Grand Island, then later west in Scottsbluff). One thing I've noticed is that overlanding seems to mean different things to different people. The beauty is, they're all correct. For me...

Love the Isuzu VehiCross. A very unusual vehicle, the rear gate opens to either side of the vehicle. And from what I understand it is a capable little off roader. Would love to get one if I could.

Nice looking 70 series. Looking forward to seeing some of your adventures through the redwoods. Been years since I've been up there (used to live in Willits, CA in the early 90s). Beautiful area.

Nice job on the Ranger. How do you like the 3.0 liter? I used to have a 91 4.0 liter for a company truck. It was a nice truck, though the 4wd components were a little on the weak side. Blew the plastic pieces in the auto hubs the first winter up north. Still, with the 5 speed, I sure did enjoy...
