  • 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.

    Overland Gear Deals Thread!

    Wish I had been known about these before my Toyo AT II purchase. I got a great price, but per your link......WOW, what a deal for sizes a lot of us would use. A hundred bucks cheaper per tire. Lite Bright (you-tube) loves them, and did a review, along with videos watching them in action...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Just ordered some YELLOW TINT FILM, for a small set of white Aux 55 watt driving lights. This will make them more viable as a driving light/fog vs my larger 500 HELLA Yellow, not Amber grill lights. Snow or fog is rare in Southern NV, but when you need them, YOU NEED THEM.! Travels North, or...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Not knowing what features or how expensive you want to go, I just checked on the Midland website. They have the DBR 2500 on sale, if you use a discount. From $149.99 down to $119.99 if you use the longstanding discount code.......overlandusa. Not sure when or if, they will retire the coupon...

    Nature Photos

    I have seen the small herd that hangs around Death Valley Jct. in the Armagossa Valley area over the years. I always was looking foreword to seeing them when I drove thru the area. EDIT: Found this after I originally posted. This is exactly where I have seen them. That is the opera house...

    Lets see some trail photos!

    I did some driving projects that took me from Vegas, down to Corpus Christie, in past years. It never ceased to amaze me how, the landscape changed from hilly scrub, to tree and grassland, when driving along the I-10. In a group run, that size, what type of Communication's gear did you and...

    Windshield Pics...

    A real bonafide WATER CROSSING. Was it a area, or fording spot you were previously aware of? By that, I mean did anyone go out there and do the WALK, to check the depth before crossing. From the pictures, it looks like it was just above hub depth/ maybe wheel upper wheel rim deep. Where was...

    Winter Overlanding Questions

    It says a lot, does it not, about so many young adults in this day and age. What you describe is really bad behavior, and this,.....not from a bunch of city kids, but from those in a small rural community. To make it even worse.....I either knew all the kids or I knew their parents, or both...

    what PSI do you run on trails?

    That PSI might be okay for non ice under snow conditions. If it's over 3-4, you might consider 20 PSI if traction starts being a issue. If you have a compressor, than everything should be okay, as you can adjust as needed. If you don't, than the 30 PSI is probably as low as you want to go...

    Dangerous situations!

    Had a similar incident, when hunting with my Dad as a teenager. It was late season, so only a few camps were occupied. When full, about 12 spots could be used. Our intention was to set up camp, which we did. The next day we went up the mountain and spent the night in sleeping bags (very...

    Best mobile air compressor unit for Overland travel?

    Did a lot of research, both compressors and the reviews that accompanied them. After a lot of reading, price comparisons, and the frequency I expected to use it, I chose the Viair 88P. As a price point, it was cheaper than some, but more robust than others in the same price range. A big...

    Dangerous situations!

    Have you ever heard of the web site CORNER CARVERS? They are a group of track racers who have a vast knowledge of the in's and out's related to the subject (brake, engine, suspension). They are into Mustangs, and European cars, which translate to heavy weight sedans that are very hard on brake...

    GMRS Radio!

    Thanks for the link. It will help with Navigation for those drowning in the lawyer speak as written. I can so relate to the MAZE that is .gov. I would have gotten my GMRS license much earlier, if the website was easier to navigate. Gave up twice, before bulling my way to completion, and...

    US West Official* OB Las Vegas Thread!

    Your picture shows all the small SIPPING on the tread blocks. It will be interesting to see first, how well they handle snow that is on the roadway, then the accumulation on the trail with the AT pattern tread. I saw where the lodge area on Mt. Charleston, expects from 12-24 inches of snow...

    I thought that might be the area. Saw what looked like..........southern Highlands Southern 7 Hills in the far background. Grew up here most of my life. That mountain the mining company is working has been reduced by almost half, at least a third, in my lifetime. PS. .....A little history...
