  • 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.

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    I have seen people buy something similar in surplus, with a communication cargo box on it. They gutted it, and then built themselves a nice live in/glamping rig for WAY>>>>LESS, then a basic new entry level 4x4 truck would cost. If it's all about the adventure, who cares if the top speed is...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Oh Yah, a early Hi-Boy with 80's folding mirrors, in great condition,......whats not to like. Super rare, as this was a time before crew cabs became popular out side of Railroads, and heavy industry. They were worked hard, and put up wet. I have only seen 1 or 2 in the last decade, and they...

    Jerry Can safe for drinking water

    I thought there were some spigot systems that screwed onto the cap, and allowed use, without drilling. Check around before using a drill.

    Recovery boards and mounts for $65

    X-Bull, Orich, and at least 3-4 other offerings are the same product, all from China. Prices fluctuate quite a bit....$45.00-$100.00, so shop around. Your linked video, was the same one I watched, and was the impedance for purchasing my 2 sets. Very Impressive with all the latest responses...

    OB Approved Camping with Firearms

    You make some very valid points. Way to often now people react with whats in their chest, and not what sits on their shoulders. Feel good individuals, and publicity hound politicians put forward legislation that when scrutinized, does not address the problem. They also ignore Constitutional...

    Recovery boards and mounts for $65

    Simple ,Cheap, and it works for what is needed. My input would be to double your setup, so it is secured in 4 places. A nice solution that is cheaper than some DIY homemade brackets I have seen. EXCELLENT, thanks for the update.... :grinning: They should be as good as the TRED's...

    Silverado 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton??

    No clutch or friction LSD...........Only the gear driven True-Trac, and then see my caveat above. Keep side to side turning to a minimum, and when using, the straighter your wheels are, the better. Your steering would be limited when using the LOCKER, not regular 4x4....err........I mean...

    Silverado 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton??

    I was under the impression that Ram only offered a locker rear for the POWER WAGON, also of course for the front. All other models were only available in a LTD slip design rear, unless you went aftermarket. I never had to use my G-80 in a manner where pulling the pin, was going to grenade my...

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

    Thermoelectric coolers are really just a chiller. They will not cool perishables to refrigerator safe temps. Here in the SW, even with some 'blue ice' pacs put in, the temp only managed to drop into the high 40's. Good for cooling drinks, but not something for safe food storage. Mine is a...

    Running out of toilet paper

    My dad made one out of old 2x4's and scrap plywood, along with a old toilet seat. Worked great, but was not a compact piece of gear as you could imagine. I borrowed it a couple of times, and received some ribbing over it. Guess what,......they all were not shy when it came time. After my...

    FIRE Regulations, BC

    Seems sensible. Grew up with this in mind, never thought large fires were reasonable. If they get to big, you cook on 1 side, while freezing on the other side. Doing the...rotisserie... was not cool (pun intended). A shovel and some water should always be in reach. Here in Nevada, these are...

    Resolved Is the OB app broken?

    Earlier today, the app wouldn't let me in. I tried a few times over the next couple of hour's.......No Joy. However, if I went thru my E-mail, it opened okay. Later this early evening, I tried again. It wanted my password to get in. When I did that, it....The App,...opened correctly.

    Nice to see the recovery happening in the burn areas. The flowers and plants taking hold will really help with soil erosion reduction.

    4Runner Owners Registry

    Exactly my thought. The front bumper attachment points, along with the overall bumper/grill area does not seem condusive to a ARB or TJM winch bull bumper at all. I do not think I have seen any new gen 4 Runner with one at all yet, only as you mentioned the center area upgrade bumper area...
