  • 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 member chapters

    Group think can be good or bad. My above concern is this very thing. There is always those who like to be leaders, and being a 'A' personality, can dominate a group and marginalize other group chapter members. So that being said there has to be checks and balances put in place to minimize...

    Overland Bound Emblems!

    So....from march 2015 to the end of October 2018, membership went from sub 200 to over 15,000! 3.5 years, that is sensational growth and no TV advertising. Just word of mouth and You Tube. NICE>>>>>>>>>I wonder if Micheal and Corrie ever thought this site would be this successful.

    Chevy build

    What year is that? A Tahoe that still had the ability for steel aftermarket bumpers F/R. The new versions have all that plastic, and have marginalized their off-road capabilities drastically. At least the earlier versions were a American version of a land cruiser in size and conception(to a...

    Have you had any zipper problems and dust??? In the ATV world zippers are frowned on because of dust contamination, and velcro is the preferred closing system because of that. The dust makes for sticky or broken zippers, and you have to buy dressings or cleaners to counter-act the dust.

    Cold Weather Gear

    At least 2 sets of thermals...I like the new, super tech thin ones for layering. A 2nd med-wt., since these are for working. If you were in a more static situation, heavy thermals would work. i would also get 2 types of beanies. A large one that easily pulls down around your neck, and a...

    Why I'll never buy another Chevy!

    ****Summed up correctly****.....with the possible exception of the ZR2 and upcoming AEV edition in January 2019(apples to oranges comparison)...I know:fearscream: full size vs mid size!

    Auto front “lokka” lockers on independent front suspension

    Because of the GM design in their 2500/3500 HD trucks, the question of durability and practicality have been a continuing debate. With no manual hub offerings, everything is automatic it is basically a 4x3, the front end turns all the time on 1 side. Those that own a RAM, do have a expensive...

    Tree Savers

    Tree savers are static web straps, that can be any size, but are usually 5 or 8 feet long. Tow straps are also static but usually 20-30 feet long. I bought 2 different brands that are 5 feet long. 1 i use as a tree-saver, the other as a 'bridle' to reduce the stress on my front recovery...

    Tires 265/70/R17 on stock wheels no lift 2018 Jeep JL 2Door is good or no?

    Staying with a 17 inch rim and tire combo is the correct thing to do. OEM direction is more and more a standard 20 inch wheel, which is exactly what you do not want in a off-road vehicle. You get decent air down ability with a 17". Some models out there offer a 18 inch wheel which is probably...

    Power Wagon on Snake Lake Trail, Tahoe National Forest

    A very thoughtful narrative of your trip. Nice photos, and good info on vehicle limitations. I doubt any other full-size rig could do it. The difficulty even with a front locker say a lot.

    Representing

    Ronnie Dahl was 1 of the first to get me hooked on off-roading videos and over-landing. The other mentionable's were right behind. I did a lot of BINGE watching on You-Tube.

    Camera Gear, Tires, and Secrets!

    I have used BFG since 1999. The BFG muds were the first 2 sets on a f150. Once I went to a 2500 HD (4x4) in 2001, i have continuously used the KO 2 AT on my subsequent trucks. I got usually 43,000-48,000 miles with rotations. Did a lot of reviews, and almost went with Cooper, but...

    OB Trasharoo

    I wish the OB branded bag was at a lower price point. I have been looking at the Trasheroo. Their custom logo bags are nice and just a few dollars more than their standard offerings. Offer a custom gold background behind the OB logo, so that it really stands out. similar to the green...
