    WTB: Patriot X1 or Turtleback Expedition for Jeep JKU.... Change my mind???

    So, I hope I'm staying within the topic of this thread – I have a Patriot X1 for sale here in the marketplace. Might be interesting since I'm willing to make a great deal if I can get it done before I leave for an extended trip to Europe.

    FOR SALE California – FrontRunner Drawers for 5th Toyota 4Runner, SF Bay Area $1200

    FrontRunner drawer system for 5th gen Toyota 4Runner. According to the FrontRunner website, from 2009 on. I had it installed in a 2021 4Runner TRD Pro. It's a great fit, although the original attachment wasn't to my liking so I added an aluminum mounting which solidly installs the drawers to the...

    Up close and personal with the Genesis Basecamp Stove by JetBoil

    I have the Stansport hose regulator and have used that a few times. Works great. I also have a Stansport metal regulator which I carry as a spare item in case something goes wrong since the stove is used in Europe and spare parts are hard to get. I always carry a bunch of adaptors to be able to...

    simple kitchen ideas

    Since overlanding for me is more than short trips over weekend but or such, pre-cut or pre-cooked is just out of the question. I have to be able to buy fresh food, keep it cool, prep it and cook it. That doesn’t mean complicated meals but that there can be no required prep outside of what I can...

    Garmin in reach mini

    Yeah, I went to the InReach because of the more features (two way comms) and the hopes of better GPS reception. The SPOT3 was actually a bit better at tracking reliably for me, it was definitely much faster in starting the tracking after having been off for a while. SPOT has changed their plans...

    Garmin in reach mini

    I have a Garmin InReach Mini mounted to a suction mount in the left lower corner of the windshield, it gets GPS reception there. But I have to say, the device itself is rather underwhelming in the whole GPS reception area – it takes forever to actually acquire, has worse reception than an old...

    GMRS Mobile radio options

    I also like the nicer install I have for my vehicle mounted radio. I carry one handheld unit and one fixed in the truck - works great for my use case.

    ROOF TENT?

    Everybody is different – I'll rather get up. And I've been doing this for a long time.

    ROOF TENT?

    Man, this thread is enlightening. If you guys used a slightly bigger diameter hose (or not, depends I guess) and a hose clamp, why would you need a funnel? Just attach and go to sleep … I might be prissy, but that’s all just plain disgusting. I get up from sleep, get out of the tent or down...

    Dometic 55IM - Compressor 24/7 w/ IM on?

    Similar. I tried the ice maker once and haven’t used it since. I might use it in a more “targeted” way if I know I want ice that evening. But that’s about it.

    First overland trip

    Two things: check fire restrictions and whether you need to carry any fire suppression gear. I don’t think so for UT and CO, but better to check. The other is that there actually are places, where you need a permit even for BLM land. Again, I don’t think it applies to UT or CO, but I’d check...

    Whose from the Bay Area? Post a pic

    Nice picture! If you don't mind me asking: what's that antenna for?

    Body Shop Recommendations

    South Bay: Anchor Auto Body in Sunnyvale has done good work on my Audi a few years ago. They messed up a bit on our Golf but made it right after we pointed it out. I don’t know any closer to you.

    Propane conversion kit for Coleman white gas stove

    I used a Coleman white gas stove and it was a royal pain the rear. It’s clunky, unreliable flame, very bulky and even in the best of times flame control is soso. I’d say, since some mostly decent propane stoves aren’t much more than a conversion, get one of them. Oh, and think about getting a...

    Skottle First Cook - Issue

    It can be a mix of many things, for example disc too thin and not distributing the heat properly, therefore some parts getting too hot (burning the seasoning) while other parts aren't getting hot enough, not really creating a seasoning. The pan manufacturers know what they're doing, they have...

    What gets adjusted when increasing tire size?

    I'm saying that, after reading the content and claims on their website, I would not buy anything from them. You make your own decisions. Plus "leveling" an overland vehicle before all other mods are done and the final weight is determined is not the smartest move either. And spacer lifts are for...
