    Dirt Bikes: Anyone else throw one on/in the back?

    How does that hitch hauler work? I've been wanting one for better ground clearance than my current one. Cant believe there arent more dirt scooter riders here. Any more my truck is the base camp and the bike is my adventure machine. The bike goes more places and is cheaper to fix when...

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    It exists a lot outside of the OB oriented groups. Even beyond the buy once cry once. People just act like if you arent buying top of the line everything you're being a "poor boi" I've been flamed because I said my $30 light bars fill every need of mine. Some nights I do wish theh were...

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    My only issue is if you get into most "overlanding" social media groups you cant get genuine help. You try to ask one simple question ot get some feedback on what has/hasnt worked and everyone turns into keyboard commandos and not picks or trashes on everyone else. I was trying to find some...

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    What you are describing isnt necessarily elitist IMHO. Yes I do believe "over landing" has become elitist because so many judge based on what you drive or what gear you have. I dont have lockers in my truck but I do have a light bar. My old truck isnt going to be doing enough offroading to...

    Guy broke his truck trying to recover me

    Its always nice to offer something but not necessary. Had you called him out and something happened then yeah Id say offer to pay some of the bill. Last year I was in the back country and came upon a guy and his son riding dirt bikes. He was on a Fat Cat and had a major punctured tire. I...

    Rules for Overlanding

    My biggest rule, and it can be applied to many situations is dont be a (bleep) head. Respect others, respect land, respect yourself. It all goes hand in hand.

    New to us trailer!

    We have the 8 hole version of this and have it flipped up. Was considering the 14 hole then finding a sweet spot and cutting off the excess. Only issue is that will make it impossible to drop the tailgate when trailer or hitch is installed. Trying to find a lunette ring that will lower the...

    New to us trailer!

    Anyone have recommendations on a pintle hitch that will raise the hitch on the truck? It tows fine as it is but I cant one that will reasonably raise it. Most are either the same height as what I have or 3 times bigger which is too much.. I saw one and was about to order it until I realized it...

    Gas can question for long term users

    Mine is still flimsy when loaded. But mine is only secured by the bottom. Maybe if I could gusset the sides it would do better.

    Gas can question for long term users

    Do any of you have any recommendations on mounts for Waivian brand steel cans? I am wanting to carry 1 or 2 additional on my trailer's fender and looking for something that will hold them secure. I have the Waivian branded lockable mount in my truck bed and it may work but its kind of flimsy.

    To Chainsaw or not to Chainsaw, that is the question

    I got a little Stihl MS180 last spring, not the 180c just the plain 180. It's an awesome little truck saw. Fits in my toolbox and doesnt weigh much. A tank of premix and bar oil will do quite a bit of cutting but I carry an extra quart of oil and a small metal can of premix. When the small...

    Model..Overlanding

    Question for y'all... How do I convince the significant other that they are not "stupid toys" I have always enjoyed RC anything. Had my fun time with planes and such but they seemed to be a money pit. Been wanting a scale crawler for some time now..

    What’s a good first camera

    OP, I am by no means a "photographer" but really enjoy taking photos. Its not a hobby for me just something I enjoy. If possible I would maybe check out local photography gear stores. There is one near me that offers classes. You can take their beginners classes, which usually last a day...

    Which tablet or Laptop?

    Yeah I haven't been able to use my Gen 1 Ipad for quite some time now because the OS has stopped, the apps need updated and they either cant be updated or they need the new OS. Some apps that are still downloaded work even though they are way out of date and others do not, like youtube. It...

    Which tablet or Laptop?

    I am curious how you are all running old apple products. Our first gen iPad became slow and lost support the second the next gen iPad was released. Our 2nd and then our 3rd gen ipads were the same story. The minute they released the next model they stopped supporting the old ones. No new OS...

    Benchmark Atlas

    Yeah I just saw it while browsing the local farm and ranch store and thought that it was neat for being under $20. Grabbed one to carry our personal hygiene supplies in and have fallen in love. Much easier to find what we need and they are still small enough that you could take them with you...

    New to us trailer!

    We have been running a RTT on the bed of my truck. No issues but we have been wanting a trailer for quite some time. Simply so that we dont always have to take one truck. We chan change up what we drive depending on where we are going or doing. The trailer will allow us to haul motor bikes...

    Benchmark Atlas

    Not sure if this is deep enough but I really like these boxes. I have started using them for a lot of stuff because of their form factor, water proofness, and cost. The cheesy "ammo crate" sticker can quickly be peeled off and leaves no residue. EDIT Looks like they may be just too small for...

    Why not just a brush guard?

    I haven't seen a brush guard harm a radiator but I have seen a cheap $99 ebay push bar or bull bar bend back and take out a radiator. Person just booped the back end of a car in traffic. Enough that it would have likely just been broken plastics and maybe some head lights and tail lights.
