  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week 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 Bound Emblems!

    Will keep a eye out. Kent was kind enough to send me a link to the Las Vegas chapter. There is more than 50 of us, so yah...spotting another OB member is great, as is the odds now.

    Question: how automatic are the updates, or do they go thru the moderators who shadow members activity? ...aka badge level or point levels?

    OB Hoodies

    True on the embroidery question, good idea on the shoulder location. In that case, Velcro on both shoulders.

    Go to Baja with looming threat of border shutdown?

    Ease up there...i think you have me confused with another! I never advocated going down across the border. I was one that urged caution. My preference is North, not south. Please take a deep breath, this is a discussion only.

    Go to Baja with looming threat of border shutdown?

    I think the Mexican government will have to step in at some point. The reason, depending on where the caravan ends up...that border crossing will be swamped, and if they rush the crossing, that is where you will see a closure. If it's like San Diego...all the Mexican nationals who have green...

    Go to Baja with looming threat of border shutdown?

    Postpon Postpone it,.....see how the situation pans out, then make your plans. The weather is not going to be real cold, so it is not like what Canada will feel like in December.

    OB Hoodies

    That is why i like the Velcro option, as it would be less involved and cheaper to have a members patch version made, and then applied to the hoodie. I am thinking of doing a black amazon ball-cap that would allow me to put my members patch on it, or another Velcro backed patch. I have a wicked...

    OB Hoodies

    Full length zipper would be mandatory. PLUS a Velcro section on the breast area for attachment of a OB patch or the 'adventure is necessary patch'.

    Mixing synthetic oil and conventional oil

    I believe the Shell T6 is a grade 4 full synthetic, and i use it in it's diesel form. I went thru so many reviews past the fanboy stage, because it was also a wet clutch compatible oil(ATV), and was known to be extremely resistant to soot buildup. and thus excellent as a diesel oil. Until i...

    Communications Gear & Thieves

    I had a 70's JC Penny CB stolen out of a car after High School, and recently a Cobra 146 SSB sitting in a box in storage. I miss that Cobra. Now have a mini Uniden in my truck. Almost lost that when the neighborhood had a rash of vehicle break in's. They ripped it off (destroying the...

    Trail Communication

    CB until the last few years. The people I hang around now, are all either tech or general ticket holders. I'm not in that circle yet. The CB is a mini Uniden, with a bed mount Wilson 5000 spring mounted disconnect. It works fairly well, for what it is. Mileage varies of course. Was gifted a...

    Why you need to buy a quality Handheld (Portable) radio.

    Thank You for putting this out there. I have never directly encountered this personally, BUT i have read about it in other forums, where the tone is like you mentioned above. There does seem to be some snobbishness out there, and from what i have heard, it comes from the old timers more often...

    ARB 37qt Fridge Freezer

    Years ago i managed to find a stock OEM under the hood FORD dual battery holder in a junk yard. It was one of the few i ever saw for the 1984-1989 body style. The F-150 i had was the great straight 6 truck engine. Slow as molasses on the road, but great off-road. There was a few time i...

    Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

    Hello all, been a Southern Nevadan resident almost all my life. Grew up here, and my family did a lot of area exploration in the state. We also did a lot of primitive camping, so tents, sleeping bags, and campfire cooking were a part of me and my sister's early years. It made an impact on how...
