    The next GX470

    The GX can be a very good off road truck. I had one for 5 years and moved on because I wanted a pickup again.

    Going back to a Full Size for my Overlanding

    RTT - Hardshell vs Softshell???

    I have a TuffStuff Alpha ll and I love it. I like the over hang at the opening for when it’s raining outside, I can climb in and take my wet shoes/boots off out of the rain, something that a lot of these tents don’t have. I also got the annex and can set it up for longer stays or if the weather...

    What is your favorite time of the year to overland?

    I like spring to fall. Being in the mountains of Colorado, spring and fall can get down right cold, under 15 degs at night. It nice to see the high mountains flowers and wild life out and the streams running. Most of the places I go, I can’t get after the first couple of snow falls or until the...

    Fridge with single battery

    I have been doing it for 5 years now, off a big X2 31M AGM battery. There are times when the fridge will shut down do to low voltage, but that is only when my truck sits around for a few days, never happens on the road or on the trail. I would like to hook up some solar panels. I plan to add...

    An argument against Roof Top Tents

    At 63 years old/young, I used a RTT mounted on a half rack for the first time this year, 2 nights in Moab and 11 nights on the trail or traveling, I am loving it. I have slept on the ground, air mattress and cots, in a small 4 person tent that fit 2 people to a Kodiak 8 person tent, each have...

    OB Approved 10 Tips For Sleeping Warm In Camp

    bring a couple of army blankets, the wool blanket will make sleeping in cold weather a lot nicer. I have used them between the bag and cot and between my bag and an air mattress and over my bag. With my RTT, its just over the bag. I used them with my mummy bag in 10 deg weather and was comfy warm.

    Needed some advice

    sorry I just saw this, I made a shell for my truck to go over the bed rack, need to keep dust and water out. I was working with ABS plastic and I found that a good high count saw works great. I have a plunge saw that also worked well. As for bending it, I scared the inside of the bend, about...

    Bald Tires

    when tires get to 4/32" I replace them if I didn't already replace them because of a trip I am doing. My 1 year old 2020 Tacoma had its cheap tires replaced at 19K miles, only 5/32" of tread left. Didn't matter, we where doing the Pony Express across Utah & Nevada, I want some good 10 ply...

    What's your campfire in fire season or no campfire areas?

    I have one of these and also carry this 80,000 BTU Propane Convection Heater, the second heater is great for colder weather. We use it also in the mornings when it’s not in the best interest to start a fire if your leaving in a couple of hours. Living in the west, no fires are becoming more and...
