Nice looking fire pit! May have to see about getting me one like that. I like how you can still feed from the front with the grill in place.

I will say, I had the opportunity to put a FWC Granby in the bed for a delivery from NC to Tulsa OK, truck seemed to do a little better with a little bit of weight in the bed. Again, didn't take it on any crazy off-road trails but what little I did it felt good. Anxious to get out with what...

The Silverado has a G80 rear locker as standard equipment; I haven't experienced it yet but from what I have read and understand it is an automatic kick in when one wheel spins about 120 revolutions faster than the other wheel; then it kicks in and you have traction to both wheels. Then I guess...

Guess I never posted any pictures of my full size; it is also only 2wd so I think I posted on that thread. Got this at the end of December 2019; only had been looking for about ten years or so, probably longer than that. Built the mid-height bed rack and moved the RTT from the Trailblazer to...

Not trying to fool myself into jumping in over my head but what have you done to your 2WD rig to enable that little further reach (or should I say that safer reach)? I got my truck right at the end of December; one of the first things I did was make the bed rack to mount my RTT (I know, doesn't...

My EDC is the CRKT M16-13T in the upper left corner. Picked it (and a bunch of the others up while deployed to the Middle East; managed to get a new knife with each deployment). The Schrade and Rat 3 stay in the truck along with a couple other pocket knives and a Leatherman Wave. Most of the...

I created a Rally Point for a meet-up on Saturday, March 28 at the Blue, Brew & Que Festival in Kenansville NC. Figured it might give some of us a chance to meet other OB members and enjoy some bluegrass music if you wanted to stick around. Just a parking lot type event; don't think there are...

Welcome to OB and the forum. I'm also down in Spring Lake (out in the county though, not the town). If you haven't already I'm sure you'll hear about Old Hwy 105, gravel forest service road that runs between Lake James State Park and Linville Falls. Beautiful area with great views and a bunch...

I am out off Elliott Bridge Road (in Harnett County). My three daughters are all grown and married so it's pretty much just me. There is a monthly meet-up in Mt Airy on the first Saturday of each month. I am planning on going to that on 7 March. Actually I am planning to go out that way and...

Anyone interested in a meet up at the 2020 Blue, Brew & Que Festival on Saturday, March 28, 1000-2000 EST? Event officially starts at 1100 so we can compare rigs and take notes before it starts.View Rally Point

The new YouTube video with the Trama Kit is up! Looks like the kit is available in the OB Store; there is a link to the kit on the YouTube video.

Bought a GoPower Rechargeable Waterproof Flameless Lighter & LED Flashlight. Stumbled across it at Walmart; been looking on and off since Expo East where I saw a vendor using a similar one. This ARC lighter has the bonus of the built in flashlight. It is USB rechargeable so it can pretty much...

Was going to say the same thing about SMORR (about 35 miles SE of Springfield); I stayed there last weekend while out for MOORE. Tent sites are $15 a night and if you wanted to hit some of the trails there is an additional fee for that. Nice clean restrooms and wonderful hot showers. They...

Just hit up Amazon for a Headrest Med Kit and all the "trama" stuff to go in it; also picked up a deflator kit to facilitate the air down process. Next purchase will probably be a portable compressor for those time I have to air back up.:laughing: Still have a fairly long list of things I...

For me I am currently using a RTT on a mid-level rack on the back of my truck; the RTT sits so the top is level with the top of the roof of the truck. We have done the ground tent as a young family, moved up to a pop-up Coleman trailer, to a 25 foot travel trailer. Needs changed as family...

Just going by what they told me. I would have been happy to run up and down the level 1 trails a bit just to get dusty and get my tires spinning some. Still need to figure out how to drive the G80 rear locker on my truck. As far as the Raptors go, Brandon said they have proven themselves...

Saturday, March 7, 2020... I'll be there with a list.

Great “weekend” at MOORE & SMORR! Left Eastern North Carolina on Thursday and picked up the FWC Granby in Whittier NC. Took the pass thru the Great Smoky Mountain National Park to Pigeon Forge TN then onto I-40 West. One night on the road and arrived at SMORR early Friday afternoon. I was a...

Stunning pictures; thanks for taking us along on their adventure.

It was a pleasure sitting in on your classes at MOORE this past weekend. I took plenty of notes and will be working them into my kits in the coming days. This article is just another bit of information to make our overlanding experience that much better.
