I have a 90 Suburban right now and it works for going off road, but I mainly need it to tow my 30ft travel trailer. However it get 10mpg on a good day and is 30 years old. My position at my company is about to change and it will require me to drive 104 miles to the airport and then back each...

So, in the next few weeks I hope to be getting a 11-13 Forester. It will be used for an Airport car mostly, but will also be a light overlander that allows me to go farther than the gas mileage of my Suburban will currently let me. With this I am wanting opinions of RTT vs. a light weight...

I guess just to prove that to be an Overlander you don't have to have a Toyota or Land Rover, this group from the Czech Republic decided to cross the continent of Africa in 2 Trabant 601 Universals. If you don't know what they are, they are a super cheap car, 2 cylinders, 2 stroke, front wheel...

I currently have a 90 Suburban and it works, but the mileage is a killer for long trips. I also have a 2001 Forester, but it is time for it to go to a new home, needs more work than I want to put into it. I want to replace it with a low mileage 2009-2012 Forester XT. I have found a few that...

My wife has been resistant somewhat to Overlanding. Not that she is totally against it, but it is hard for her to see why we would take a Suburban or Subaru camping when we have a 30ft travel trailer with 3 slides. I want to be able to take her out on weekends and explore and have her be...

As of this week my family now owns 3 Subaru Foresters. I bought my wife a brand new 2019 Forester and my daughter bought herself a 2019 Forester. My daughter had a 2001 Forester and it is now my car. I still have my 90 Suburban, but my job is changing and I am going back to traveling a lot...

I have been planning this from the day I saw the ad for my truck on line. I got most of the supplies last week and built it this weekend. It is still in the rough stages and I have some finishing touches and clean up to do, but it is about 90% done. I wanted a sleep platform that would allow me...

So I just finalized my membership and it shows the "Member" banner, but it does not show my number. My number is 20484, how do I get it added to my profile?

I was watching a video by OB 0000 and he had a bag for his maps. He said it was some kind of garment bag and worked good, but I figured I could make something myself. I happen to have a roll of heavy reinforced vinyl I have had for many years. I got it while in the Air Force in the 90's-2000's...

So a few years ago we moved from the busy West side of Washington to the East side of the mountains. I work from home and as I look out my office window I can see Mt. Cleman, about 5000ft. Behind it is Mt. Rainier, the Okanogan, and Wenachee NF's and the William O Douglas Wilderness. However, I...

So, I am heading off for a weekend trip to explore some of the area near me. The foothills of Mt. Rainier. The weather was looking great till 2 days ago. I can see where we are going from my house and there is snow up there now. My guess is only about a trace to 1in, but still cold. I am not...

So, I recently have decided that Mason Jars are fantastic. On my recent trip the first night we had eggs in a carton in the cooler. This worked, but the carton got all wet. The next day I mixed up the eggs, milk and salt/pepper in a Mason jar and put that in the cooler. Worked perfect. I like...

So, I am thinking about lockers and LSD's for my truck and looking for some advice on the best options for a limited budget. I know that there are selectable lockers out there like ARB air lockers, and OX cable lockers. These are great, but expensive. There are conventional lockers like the old...

When I got my 90 Suburban it had no roof rack. I need a rack to install the solar, move the spare to the roof, and add an awning. All the racks I found are for new trucks, or were stupid expensive. A couple of weeks ago my father in law was visiting and we stopped into Lowe's to see if there...

As I am setting up my Suburban for camping in, I have been thinking about what I wanted in a stove. I knew I wanted 2 burners, and I thought propane would be good. But then I though about where to carry the propane tank and it seemed to add complications. So I decided to go for a Coleman stove...

Just checking in from Central Washington. I am in the Selah/Naches are near Yakima. Not too many others in my neck of the woods, but if anyone is traveling through, I have 15 acres of land at the base of Mt. Clemens overlooking the Wenas Valley. You are welcome to drop by and make camp. I am...

So, I am not sure if Farkle is a term used here, in the Motorcycle world it means "Functional Sparkle" and can be anything added to your bike to add usefulness. So, I see a ton of things that people add to the dash of their rigs, what is all of it? I know I see GPS or IPads for nav, CB radios...

We, I suppose Light and 90 Suburban don't belong together, but what I am going to build will not be crazy. I am not building a RTW live in truck, more weekend warrior to explore the country around me. I had a 1985 Chevy K30 to tow my RV, but it had no room for the dogs once we hit the road. I...
