  • 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.

    Trash on trail!

    Thank You for the effort. I have never seen a campsite quite that bad but have seen some pretty dirty ones. thx for taking the before/after pictures, post them up as a incentive to all. The satisfaction of a job well done will help with the muscle aches. Also put in for protector III, you...

    Tire chains

    It is the 'lock to lock' clearance that is the question. When the front wheels are at full turn, the back inside front tire can hit the inner fender or the frame, if the steering lock keeper's are not adjusted correctly. On some fender's, it is also the outer front fender opening. Chevy's...

    Lets see some trail photos!

    Very nice editing. I really like the PIP (picture in picture) screen shots. It also was interesting watching newer and older gen. vehicles on the same obstacle sections, and how they fared over the terrain. I watched how steep that down section was, with the 4 wheel vehicle wheel slide, and...

    OB Approved Members Spotted Thread

    If only I could be so lucky. 2+ years, and only once did I think I saw another member in a different traffic lane. I was unable to get over and verify, let alone flag them down. Vegas has a lot of new members, so it will happen. I just have to keep my eye open. As I understand it, planned...

    Nevada overland guide

    I typed in Nevada trails on 'BING', and got a multiple of hits. These were from local to statewide web addresses. There are quite a few, but not like CA in quantity. Mostly for ATV;s, and SXS, but also for vehicles. The State has a Trailhead in the East that starts near Caliente NV (US 93)...

    Snake Shot: Do you use it for your trail/camp gun when overlanding?

    I have seen these Austrailian plagues in the past. 'BIBLICAL' comes to mind. Mice, Rabbits, it is scary to be seen in their multitudes. So to answer your warning, I get it, and your right. The only thing else I can think of is a biblical plague of locusts. Too those caught up in such a...

    Gazelle Tent

    What about going to either the sporting goods dept., or the house wares dept., of your local store, and purchasing 2x cans of spray on waterproofing or scotch guard? Would this not make the bag either water resistant or waterproof up to a point (not heavy rain). I have done this for a whole...

    Dangerous situations!

    Being that highway is just north of the test site, you can be....'privileged'.... to see some strange things. If your in the right spot at the right time. It is not called DREAMLAND casually,...... without reason.:astonished:

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    Yup,.......Sister and BIL had an original IH Scout with both setups. Sold them as a package deal. The new owner scored on that deal. That 1/2 cab was a rare option. Never seen it on the road, but hope to.

    New Snatch Blocks

    I have the WARN/SMITTYBILT..(cast)... H/D style (very heavy) that is similar to that shown above. I also have a 2nd- 36,000 K version that is constructed like the light/medium K versions. I realize that you need 3 if you ever expect to reverse pull a vehicle from a front mounted winch...

    GMRS info request

    Baum creek reservoir? I miss the time I was there. ATV ride all the way around, 3 days of camping, And all the trails in the area. Flushed a Elk on a trail, and a black bear in the trees on a couple of trails away from the water proper. The hot springs place was closed when we went by...

    GMRS info request

    " I’m going to help him get it uncluttered so his coms setup won’t be so confusing." I can so relate with my 2003. That was a main concern with the down size of my Cobra 140 to a Uniden 520 XL CB, and the purchase of the Midland GMRS 275. There is only so much real estate to use, before it...

    Looking for an F-250 Snorkel Kit

    From what I have read, Safari and maybe 1 or 2 others are made for water. Others like Toyota OEM snorkels are not (only dust). They are not completely sealed, and have to be modified by using silicone on their joints to waterproof them. Either it was Ronnie Dahl, or Andrew St Pierre White, or...

    Looking for an F-250 Snorkel Kit

    'Safari' is most likely to have a model. Ford and Ram are big in Australia. Check for a compatable product model number, that would work on a North American build. I have seen some pictures on some very new trucks, so they must be available. PS: Depending on model year, I would think...

    Camp Site Tips and Tricks.

    One of 2 ways to accomplish the same thing in camp. Submit it under a validation (OB Innovator). Get credit for it. I like the idea for it's simplicity AND EASY clean-up/ storage. And for a 3rd bonus idea (full water jug), it is something you need to have with you for obvious travel/camp...
