  • 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.

    Overlander, Adventurer, Traveler...Impressed by a Honda CRV?

    Thanks...like I was saying, I bought it as a "day trip" vehicle. I have a built and outfitted Land Rover and a full size Ford 4x4 truck. In the past I would've never considered a Honda for anything more than paved national park roads...maybe a well kept fire road ...maybe. Which for me was...

    Go Beyond!

    I'm sharing this video of one of my all time favorite Land Rover commercials. However, let's forget that it's a Land Rover commercial, that's not important. What is important is the message....

    Vinyl Wrap/PlastiKote On Hood

    I did this on my Rover and added "eyes" because I sometimes throw recovery ropes/straps/cables on the hood as well as other gear occasionally. Over the past year it has held up to every thing I've thrown at it, although the edges are starting to curl and peel. I used the Performix brand...

    Overlander, Adventurer, Traveler...Impressed by a Honda CRV?

    Overlander, Adventurer, Traveler...Impressed by a Honda CRV? Yes... Lets start with a quick backround story. So, about 6 months ago I was looking for a small fuel efficient AWD vehicle to use for day trips and adventures. Nothing hard core, nothing for multi day, week, or monthly...

    DIY budget Awning $40.00 all in...

    I've had more than a few members PM me about my DIY budget Awning. So, I thought I'd share some photos and a description... I started with an 8' section of 4" black PVC pipe. I have 6' Thule load bars which I bolted the PVC pipe to, I accomplished this by duct taping a socket wrench to a...

    Stirrin' the pot

    I make/build almost everything. I not only enjoy the challenge it's also a great teaching and learning tool. Snorkel, Awning, Storage, Dog Cage...etc. When I do have to get things I don't or cannot make/build, I first try Craigslist "Barter" and "Free" sections. Next...I will buy non name brand.

    Yeti and Yolo - My Adventure Story

    I Actually did this for a few years several years ago after my wife passed. It helped me heal among other things. Off grid, freedom, teaches you to be very resourceful. I traveled all over the western US, Mexico and Canada. My rig at the time was a built S-10 Blazer. I did work though, as a...

    Well, this sux for one of our members

    " Well, this isn't so bad. I thought it would be a lot worse than this. They'll be able to buff this out. Oh, yeah.".... Dell Griffith to Neal Page, Plans, Trains and Automobiles :laughing: Just trying to lighten the mood...

    Jeep Badge of Honor?

    The only badge of honor I need....:grinning: lol...just having some fun, does look like a pretty cool program though, When I owned muscle cars I collected badges from the different events and races...I put them on plaques for display, of course we didn't have smart phones then.

    What do you do with your new $70k off road vehicle?

    Take it off roading of course! Fun video...I love the transition from apprehension to elation and just having fun. Because in reality...whether we pay $1000.00 or $70,000.00 it should be all about getting out, exploring and having fun in our overland vehicles. Enjoy!

    Overland Trip Planning: Know Before You Go

    Great forms!!! Lol, I have to say that I really need these...I do. But, unfortunately, I'm a "fly by the seat of my pants" type of guy. I am so... spontaneous. I have been so ill prepared for so many adventures that they actually qualify as "misadventures". But, I have to say...I have some of...

    Rolls Royce...getting into the overlanding market?

    That's what a lot of people say about Land Rovers, "Soccer mom SUV's", but a lot of us on here know different. The Mercedes G Wagon is a $100k luxury SUV, but a lot of us know how capable and bad ass they are off road. Lamborghini even used to make a capable off road vehicle...(do they still...
