  • 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.

    Lotus development VS Jac-Jaw

    a) Do you use one b) Do you plan on purchasing one? c) Why did you choose one over the other? d) As a recovery piece of equipment, what safety factor did it play in your decision? Each basically accomplishes the same function, but due to design differences they have limitations when compared...

    Overland Bound Flag?

    I also like the vo2 version. A Yellow or a Gold background really POP'S. I also like the mini flag idea over the full size 3x5. It allows use on the trail, as was mentioned above. Leave the 3x5 for a base camp flag, and as we already have in the store version. By doing that, both styles...

    12v fridge recommendations

    Good to know, and thanks for the input from afar. More and more International members are chiming in. From Central and South America, Europe, of course Australia, and now from you in South Africa. You must have some great adventures and stories to tell. Most of what I know about South...

    12v fridge recommendations

    Snow Master has a good rep. More top of the line, and not cheap. Seems to be preferred in many international countries. They are here in the North American market now with distributors. A South African Co. I think. Comes with a lot of standard features, unlike some cheaper models that then...

    2 Method Campsite cooking

    Here is a way to cook a meal using 2 different methods to cook or prepare the meal. 1 is by using the aluminum foil method, and the other by using a dutch oven. Cook time will depend on how hot the coals are, and your diligence to keep it from burning/charring. Amount of food servings will...

    2 trophy upgrades in the last 2 weeks. :grinning: I have been stymied from accomplishing more due to personal/medical and Covid 19 issues. I would like to get out on a clean-up/campsite sweep this year, we will see. Vegas has a couple of big events around the outskirts which fill those big 30 &...

    Trash bag

    I like the idea and Amazon photos showing the 'Traxacx' able to be attached separate from a spare tire. This was the method I would use on my pickup truck tailgate. For the 'Trasheroo' it seemed that this attachment method was more complicated...ie...prone to slip. Having it only a week...

    Tire Recommendations

    I did 25+ years on BFG-AT's (KO), best I could get was 45,000 plus on a gas engine, and about 43,000 on my diesel version. My truck tires were kept in a state of mileage rotation every 5,000 miles, with TP tread measurements dictating rotation. These were my best longevity reaches. Because...

    Overlanding with Diabetes

    Fed-Ex is in the scope of things, one of the least you would expect this type of problem with. The USPS......yah, To many are low motivated, and follow the creed of 'It will get there, when it gets there'. For the Fed-EX shipment, you should be able to track your delivery, on your own, and if...

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

    Like you, and Indiana Jones, I do not like snakes. Benign or poisonous, they are not my cup of tea. While not popular in some circles, I too would be in the shoot first, identify later crowd on this subject.......key in the shotgun shucking sound. :grinning: They avoid me, I avoid them. I...

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

    Since I first posted this question, I had never seen one around my Sister & BIL's place in the mountains (25 years), but I was aware they might be around. Also this was most peoples experience up there in the mountains (Southern UT). Well it seems that 2 weeks ago, my sister while ATV riding...

    Dogs with motion sickness?

    Question: Are they related out of the same stud or dame (vernacular-soft), as growing up we had 2 females (mom/daughter-poodles) that ALWAYS got motion sickness, and the brother sometimes did also. Otherwise our family (mom/sister/me) have been blessed with other dogs over the years which...

    89 Octane availability?

    At least in Nevada, you can also find 85 octane, and a few other places as well. The wide differences I believe is due to those counties that mandate smog tests and those that do not. In Nevada, Clark and Washoe counties have a annual smog test due to higher vehicle and population densities...
