Hey all, does anybody know if there's a way to mount this to a tubular steel roof basket, or does it mount only directly to HD style racks? I have a generic roof basket on my camper shell that I kind of like, and I have Yakima tube style rack bars. The pics of the brackets I've seen don't look...

Hey everyone, I'm in the early planning stages for my annual extended trip into the Rockies this summer. In previous years, I have done well washing clothes with my washbag and a clothesline. However, last year was pretty overcast and rainy when I went, meaning my clothes usually just didn't...

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into the Orion power adapter. I do astrophotography too, but had been making that work ok with the inverter (since sound isn't an issue with that). But, plugging the camera directly into my 12v outlet would be more convenient anyway. Wouldn't have cables running all...

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice on a problem I have recording videos. Specifically, an audio problem related to my rig. I know that's kind of a separate subject from pure photography, but I'm hoping someone here might know the answer. I did a lot of vlogging in my rig last year and got...

A few practice shots at night. The pic of my friend's RV includes a faint comet NEOWISE directly above it. Taken last summer in Arapaho National Forest.

I misspoke in my OP. I did add the 5100s all around, but you're right, they didn't really do much for the ride height in the back. The fronts are at the highest setting, which pretty well levels everything out front to back. The main reason for doing that was to add a little clearance for my...

Hey all, I'm looking for some advice on upgrading the rear suspension on my Silverado. A couple years ago, I swapped in some Bilstein 5100s to level out the rear end while gaining some clearance for some new tires. Everything worked fine. A couple months ago, I replaced my topper with a...

Hello, I'm selling a sleeping/storage platform I built for my Chevy Silverado. This should fit any pickup with at least a 6.5' bed. I am not a craftsman, but this thing is SOLID. Worked perfectly for the last 2 years, and got me through many nights comfortably. I used a sliding under-bed...

Amazon. Same stuff people use for sub boxes. I had a little gray left over from the sleep platform I built for the bed, and bought the black for this.

Hey Everyone, I started working on a project at the beginning of the quarantine to make my back seat area more efficient when I'm on the road. It consists of modular shelves which allow me to swap the rear seat back in with about a half hour of work (probably faster once I get used to it)...

Hey Everyone! I wasn't sure where this question fit best, so, I wound up here. Does anyone have a product recommendation for protecting leather from the elements? I have a leather sheath for my axe that I ordinarily leave on my roof rack when I'm on the road. I've previously used Ballistol...

I don't live in Canada, but I was having the same debate with myself a while back. All the Hams I talked to said that for emergencies, it's better to have something with a sattleite connection. Either something like the Garmin or some other EPIRB. There are too many factors (atmospheric...

Looks like a nice truck! Good for you - keeping chasing the dream!

I haven't seen national forest stamps. I collect the parks stamps and have just been buying decals on redbubble for the national forests I visit. I did have an occasion to visit a ranger station for the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest. They didn't have anything like that there. Just some...

Greetings fellow cheesehead!

Thanks for the tip!

Check out freecampsites.net as well. Between ioverlander.com and that one, you can probably find some previously reviewed camping along your route, if you don't feel like blazing a trail based on MVUMs and such. Dispersed camping is awesome and I highly recommend it. But, sometimes a spot that...

I use a thick memory foam sleeping pad, heavy sleeping bag, wool blanket, and if I need a little extra, I'll toss a hand warmer or two in the bag. I have a 12v fan for ventilation to reduce moisture buildup. I rarely need the extra, but it's nice when I'm just getting in the bag after being out...

I honestly never considered an auxiliary tank, since it seems like just carrying jerry cans would be so much cheaper. It's just a matter of finding a place to put them. I'm looking at a spare tire carrier with an add-on jerry can holder. That will probably be my next big modification. Now if...

Well, let us know if you do. Now that you mention it, it's got the wheels in my head turning about what I could store where my spare is lol.
