  • 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 Rally + Fridge Conundrum... WWYD?

    If you have not bought thru Camping World yet, I would pass on an extended warranty thru them, as many have said that they are in financial straits. Just something to think about before investing in something extra (ad-on extended warranty) that might not be honored down the road.

    Planning trip -- Spokane WA to Vegas

    Sounds like Interstate 15 S, is your preferred route. If so, just south of ST.George UT, in the gorge, in the AZ area, is a rest area, that i believe has a few camping spots. Coming south, out of the gorge past Mesquite NV, you could park at the casino/truck-stop on the Indian reservation...

    Steel Pass - Death Valley

    That is one heck of a truck. I love the pop-up camper feature. A great idea when your in between dirt roads. Keeps your cross-section to a minimum. The choice of a FORD (selectable hubs) allows for a easy upgrade to a LSD or full LOCKER in the front. Is it a F350 or F450? I like the idea of...

    Why not just a brush guard?

    Bought a ARB for exactly this reason. During a driving project outside Detroit, on the Interstate, my partner and i saw AT A MINIMUM, at least 25 dead deer that had been hit by vehicles in less than 10 miles distance. Saved my pennies and bought my bumper as soon as I got home out West...

    GMRS Antenna mounting solution (I think)

    Could you not mount it on one side of the front bumper, and then, depending on the overall length, use a small strap & clip to attach to the antennas end? This would create a bow, either long-wise, or crosswise) that should clear your garages upper door frame. I do this with a Wilson 5000...

    OB Approved Overland Bound Comms Frequency Guide

    How prevalent are Comm's being used up in the Pacific NW? The reason I ask was when I was up in Eastern Oregon, in 2009, the back roads were signed with logging truck use, but no radio was used. Just a vehicle horn used when approaching a blind curve. I was with a former LOG BUYER, and he...

    OB Approved Overland Bound Comms Frequency Guide

    EDIT: "Maybe"..... they have relaxed the law/rules for English language signs. Up until the ...last independence/autonomy....2014 election vote (6 years ago), it was illegal?/discouraged?, for all but French.....was being debated by political parties to be changed. You would be in Ontario...

    WARN 8274 winch. Who has one, What rig do you use it on, and why do you like it over newer model?

    A sad reality for US companies this last couple of decades. The BEAN COUNTERS ruling the roost,vs the engineers and enthusiasts. Where the bottom line means everything. I do not doubt what you have heard from your friend. Once a company goes public, and Wall Street is involved, the...

    WARN 8274 winch. Who has one, What rig do you use it on, and why do you like it over newer model?

    I knew WARN had moved some of their cheaper winch line models to China, but not their more upscale ones. Wow, that decision in this trade atmosphere is going to bite them in the rear. If this is the case, then the addage, "WARN or None", will cease to have the meaning it once did. Fanboys...

    Dealing with Snakes?

    I had not heard the mothball technique before. I will file that away for the future. Here in the West, it is just Rattlers you have to worry about. I also did not know that copperhead snakes were so aggressive. A 12 gauge sure would be a comfort item in that case. I once read a story that in...

    Someday With My Babies

    "Now a gift from my father in law!" Be glad it was a next to last year 7.3, as it, and the 2003 to mid year change to the 6.0 engine had all the OEM upgrades and improvements. No mater how much the OEM's test and engineer the next generation, they always have teething problems on new models...

    Let them eat SPAM!

    Now that TREET has been brought up, I remember trying it many, many, years ago, and thinking that it was a cheap knockoff of SPAM, and not as good as the.... for me....known brand. I would guess that is what sauces and condiment choices are for.[emoji41] [emoji30] [emoji2] [emoji7]

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    GM does not have to do a copy of the Ford Raptor. They instead need to do as RAM did, separate from the Power Wagon. They need to at least offer some 'ala-carte' off road parts thru their parts department. While RAM/FIAT does not offer the full package, they offer upgrades not seen on the...
