  • 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.

    OH yah....sweet. got to love those 3 generation photo's, flying together. That Ford Tri-Motor looks' like the one that was in Vegas, ferrying tourists. I believe it was called SCENIC AIRLINES. It flew for years. The rainbow paint scheme on the side looks like their emblem also. PS...

    Is there any place in Colorado without a fire ban right now?

    As has been stated, the States in the West have become very skittish about wildfires. So many, and so many of them BIG. The $$$$ amount of damage is crazy. That Paridice town fire, where the town was burned to the ground, and many were trapped trying to escape, has rammed home, that fire...

    Why do you like OB?

    Getting out from under the...RAT RACE...., camping, exploring, getting to see new places or going to see areas you always wqnted to see. Trying new gear, companionship with those who share your passion also, makes for rich and memorable memories. So getting out of town is always a goal, when...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Aftermarket OR.....homemade skid plates? (black ones) I like the transmission one first, then the big transfer case one, as my 2003 OEM is much smaller. The Duramax/ Allison with it's spin on external filter is just waiting to be snagged on a rock or obstacle. Just glad there's no Def, as...

    Essential Solo Overland Recovery Gear

    Pretty much THIS....in this order, when rolling SOLO. If I was to offer up any additional, it would be a new kinetic rope, over a kinetic strap. Prices have come way way down on some. They also have the benefit of being easier on you and your vehicle when either being recovered or when...

    Overland Bound Geocache General Discussion

    Rather than CASH, which could create it's own set of problems, I think some CUSTOM SWAG, or tee shirts, or sweatshirts, or camp gear would be better. Maybe a special redeemable coupon to the OB store. This would also keep it in house and more manageable in cost...

    Winch Gloves: You use them Correct?

    Good to know. I had not heard of that problem. Using steel cable, ....for me.....everyone said......GLOVES......make sure you use GLOVES. Having the size winch that I do, steel cable is all I can use, as synthetic would limit how many feet you could practically use, being a thicker diameter...

    Chevy Silverado

    Not knowing how your OEM pads held up, makes it difficult to compare. Also how you liked them for your needs. GM 1/2 ton PU's were notorious for poor performance and weak longevity during the mid-late 90's. The 3/4 ton and 1 ton's, had much better reputations. For example, my 2003 3/4 ton...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    In NEVADA, and most states, if not all?????....(an exception would be in the North East states and probably a few others of a more liberal bent) , require long guns to be empty of a round in the chamber, while being transported by vehicle. In NEVADA, the magazine can be charged (full) with...

    Portable Fire Pits?

    Do not apologize for keeping older threads alive. I wish more people practiced that, as it keep's a more consolidated thread topic. It allows for finding a subject, with multi answers. It avoids multiple threads with similar or repeated answers, and thus makes it easier to compile the...

    El Cheapo Maxtrax Storage Bag

    Price has dropped quite a bit,....sub $10.00 (good price). The big question is what type of boards you bought, as a Amazon commenter said his off-brand did not fit. (A) What did you buy?........X-Bull or a clone etc, as they re very available and affordable. Some X-Bull clones have a...

    OB Approved Overland Safety: Fire Extinguishers

    If you follow....coyote works on YOU TUBE, he filmed his jeep going up in flames, due to a electrical short I believe in the middle of no where. Used up a bottle or 2.....NO JOY., a complete loss. So having a bottle or 2 is good. This thread was very informative for size and types, and what...

    GMRS

    Love the mic relocation idea, very clean, and it allows the cord/mic to be out of sight when not in use. Can you give part numbers and brand names for the jumper wire and the mic connection. THX It really gave me some ideas, along with those small RAM mount's. My 2003 Silverado has a busy...

    GMRS

    Years ago i was up your way, and saw the necessity for my CB (Uniden 520XL) to be set to the 'loggers' frequency. Was up in the mountains East and North of the old abandoned cement factory when a logging truck came barrelling around a blind corner. We knew he was coming, but still were started...

    X-Bull Gen2 vs Gen3: Who has used a Gen3 in recovery?

    During my shopping travels, on Amazon today, i came across these. Not X-Bull, but a CLONE of their GEN3 design. Same picture as my above post X-BULL but with a carrying bag now included. Has the new trademark stamping in the board (molded chevron), on the end also. ZESUPER New Recovery...

    Lets see some trail photos!

    Good photo shot. It really shows the difference and the contrast between AMBER lens and CLEAR white lens types. The reduced glare is pretty dramatic in that photo. For those who have not given it much thought, this pic makes it very visible.
