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.

What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?
HOLY Cr*P,..........10 studs sheared. Fractured by over tightening? A while back Ford had issues on their F-450/550 10 stud hubs with brittle metal. That is the only time I have heard of a OEM defect vs Operator/Installer screw-up That must have been a E-ticket ride. Hope that was only a...- Desert Runner

What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?
Give it time to be resolved. Brien is good on fixing issues(west coast-USA). Many of us recently had a big issue with some software issues due to new updates where we had had no problems before. Give Lanlubber a chance to pass the problem up the chain. It is possible another regional...- Desert Runner

Legal Weapons and Overlanding
Many years ago i would have said....12ga, first and last. Now years later and older, and hopefully a little wiser, i would go for the bear spray first, then the 12ga, hoping i had the time to do such. Once you pull the trigger, all your options a gone.- Desert Runner

What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?
The Deer shot if it had your badge in the picture would have been a total absolute over the top INFLUENCER III on instagram photo. A great photo never the less.....I like:grinning: I'm pining for the mountains. It's been too long.- Desert Runner

To Chainsaw or not to Chainsaw, that is the question
FIRST take a chainsaw safety course. If you think you don't need one... You are the problem. SECOND take a fire safety course, and carry the few tools needed to put out a fire. AND visit the local Fire Service office before venturing onto their roads. IF the road has a "RadioControl" sign. Get...- Desert Runner

Can I get by without 4x4
Good advice............ A short shovel, a recovery strap and a shackle are the minimum basics if dirt roads, regress into fire roads that seem to be neglected. If you have a hitch...so much the better. Watch You-tube recovery videos and peruse the recovery threads within OB. That way your...- Desert Runner

To Chainsaw or not to Chainsaw, that is the question
Depending on your trail preferences, you can modify your load-out to better suit your expected destination. If you do a lot of trails like the photo, it would probably be a good idea to carry one. In more open country a shovel/hand saw/bucksaw would be more reasonable. The Expedition Overland...- Desert Runner

2003 Chevy 2500 Suburban - overland build
Did the Z-71 jounce bumper upgrade(yellow-front), as my original ones were looking similar to the OEMS you pictured(hard foam). Those New black ones look suspiciously similar to the AC/Delco(polyurathane). I upgraded to a 285x16x75 size tire, and it fits in the stock spare location underneath...- Desert Runner

Scottles Worth the Price?
An Idea on that question: Could you not, assuming you have a little welding knowledge, buy 3 short pieces of pipe. Then buy enough length of smaller pipe that would telescope inside the larger pipe, to create 'legs'. Buy enough to cut to length for your desired cooking height. Buy 3 of those...- Desert Runner

Go Tread vs Max Traxx?
A thought: With the mounting holes at the end of X Bull boards and their copies. Could you not use some H/D ZIP TIES to create a continuous road of boards? Does anyone know if the MAX TRAX connecting straps would work on other board brands ? I'm just musing on possible alternatives......input...- Desert Runner

What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?
Equipment is not for my rig, but very impressive for the asking price. Just doing a mental arithmetic cost analysis, that is a great buy for someone who could afford to outfit all at one time. You never buy with the hope of cost recovery, but for personal satisfaction. Hope all parties reach a...- Desert Runner

What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?
These:............... Rather then this more HD version for heavier trailers next. You do not need that special trailer coupler that rotates horizontal/vertical, as those are basically reserved for Hard core off-road trailers to avoid extreme binding. The top 2 can be loosened for less friction...- Desert Runner

What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?
Depending on ride height, you could do a reverse shackle, to raise it like i have seen others do. Not a 'hardcore' off-road trailer, but it would allow a little more flexibility, and get you further into the back road areas. Add a tongue/hitch stabilizer for the added lift when rolling the...- Desert Runner

What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?
Just ordered them...A great price, AND it came with a bag AND the tethers. I could not buy or make some tethers for the included price. They have Olive Green also at this price. The other colors are about $5-10 more. STILL A DEAL over other offerings. The other great point was the...- Desert Runner
