  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Bike Touring?

    Tip my hat to those who travel under their own power, wish I had the discipline and the stamina to do that myself.

    Overland Bound Challenge Coins

    Not knowing the production cost, I would think $25-35 sounds fair, but it would need to cover total cost, and a small percentage to the group coffers.

    I am back!

    I couldn't imagine going through that, glad the family is safe, hope your town gets cleaned up and put back together quickly, and more importantly hope the weather holds out, was watching the weather channel earlier seems like it may be rocky for the rest of the week.

    What is your rigs name

    We've always named our vehicles, from my first Jeep an 85' CJ7 named Jessica, to my current Sportage named Roxy. Makes it easier to remember which car we're talking about, there have been a couple of repeats over the years, from three Cherokees, a half dozen Baja's, a couple of Souls, and...

    Headed to the Northwest

    And of course after you get home, you always find a guide like this... The Oregon Coast draws tourists from around the world every year, attracted to the region for its rugged terrain and natural beauty. But while many of these visitors might not explore beyond the viewpoints lining Highway...

    Headed to the Northwest

    We did, the family really enjoyed it. Almost too much to see and do in the area. We're going to have to plan another trip soon.

    Headed to the Northwest

    We made it back.... 3500 miles on the road in five days. We drove to central Oregon coast and camped there for three days, and ran over to Eugene to visit an old friend. Then we made the trek to Yosemite Valley to visit family on their last season in the park before driving back to Arizona. A...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Needed some extra storage, so we fabricated this hitch mounted case this week. We put it on a slide so I can open the hatch, yet slide it close to the truck while traveling. Large enough for the bulky 18x20 tent, 6 gallons of water, cooking gear, and some other odds and ends. Should be able to...

    Headed to the Northwest

    Planning a trip in mid-August to the Pacific Northwest, Eugene Oregon for sure, may drive up the 101 from there. Looking for a few good places to camp, hike, anything a must see in the area? We'll have franken-daughter with us, so we can't go too primitive. (Teenagers!)

    Overland Rig Wants Vs. Needs

    As far as a lift, depends on what you want to do. The 2.5 with 33"s would take you almost anywhere you would want. From experience I personally wouldn't go that large on the tires, the strain on the drive train is significant and could cause severe damage.

    Overland Rig Wants Vs. Needs

    That's true, I forget that most of the new rigs don't really have a good place to tug and pull on or from. The older trucks and Jeeps, you could almost put a chain on anything to free them up.

    Overland Rig Wants Vs. Needs

    Very good article, I agree with the tires, number one place to start. I'm a bit cautious with lights, early on I got sucked into that, having more lights was a priority; but then I realized, I stop and make camp before it ever gets dark. If we are running late breakdown on the trail or get...

    Overland Cooler Size

    I'm a fan of carrying two coolers, one for drinks and one for food. Currently have an AO (similar in design to the YETI soft sided cooler which I bought at Home Depot for $50) which I use for drinks daily behind the drivers seat (Can keep a twelve pack cold for four days in the summer with a...
