    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    After much deliberation and consternation on what kind of reserve gas source to go with I finally made a decision and went out and bought a 3 gallon rotopax and installed it.

    Welcome to the boards and the roads. That is a very nice Jeep indeed.

    2003 Ford Ranger Edge Plus

    3 gallon Rotopax arrived today. Here it is installed. Really starting to enjoy this setup. Also I have attached a photo of the Cab ceiling where a few weekends ago my son and I spent some time putting up our patches that we have collected over the years. Some from our adventures but most...

    Overland Hound

    It has taken a while to get a pic of them together as they are normally running the house and the trail but here is Rex and Kip or Overland Doodles, or as we like to call them the terrible duo oodles of doodles.

    Lets Talk Cameras

    First of all, great thread, thanks @Raul B . For a long time I was a die hard DSLR guy but due to many technological advances with media, mirrorless and my style (getting older sometimes warrants lighter gear). Given that I have made some adjustments to my kit. I use to have a D800e and a...

    New (or New to me) rig suggestions

    Honestly probably not as good at a Toyo but not sure anything is. The truck has been around for about 10 years and has become a staple in the Chevy/GMC line. Most of the truck reviewers are also preferring it over the Tacoma ( not trying to start a war for Tacoma lovers ). I have looked a...

    Toyota Tundra and Tepui RTT - Need advice on racks

    If you can afford it I would highly recommend the Leitner Designs Active Cargo system. Very configurable. I just put one on my Ranger and went with this rack over a custom built and others due to the numerous options it offers. I suggest you talk to @raul with https://xpeditionoutfitters.com/...

    270° awning DIY?

    I like that design, possibly for support you could use aluminum beams that slide into some kind of a sleeve that was rigged to the vehicle. The rear extension would be the length of the roof rack and the side extension would be the width of the roof rack maybe a bit longer to create a kind of...

    Tire suggestions?

    I recommend Toyo Back Country Mud Terrains. They are the same spec as the Cooper Discovery SST Pro. Great on the trails and not too much road noise while on Tarmac. The Coopers are actually made from the Toyo spec. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Use two triangle tarps, they are usually called sails and used for patio coverings. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Exploring Shotgun Creek

    Starting a new thread to track my activities in the Shotgun Creek area between Marcola and Crawfordsville. This is primarily an OHV area but a lot of the trails are Cat II Jeep type trails. I will primarily be using Gaia GPS and some Garmin to track the routes. Most of these are shorter day...

This afternoon I drove from Springfield to most the way home on forest roads with a few sections to OHV trails. Let me know if you are interested in coming out this way and we could schedule...

    Ground, Cot or Air Mattress: Make and model please.

    Okay so we are down to two cots. Still working on the sleeping pads but here is the analysis so far. The cot choices: Browning Titan Cot XP - This is a big cot, strudy and a little taller so easier to get from sit to stand. Also fairly easy to put together and the price is right at $89 on...
