    You tube Overlanding

    I’d guess there are far better things to spend your money on than undoing a very average lift for your particular vehicle. While the lift may not be required for what your current uses are I doubt that it will hinder you from doing those things. It may also give you the ability to go just a bit...

    Abandon Mines

    Anybody else enjoy exploring abandon mines? I have started looking at and exploring more and more of them. I enjoy using them as destinations to build trips around. Usually good history, artifacts, etc. I am starting to get further off the beaten path with them and entering deeper into them...

    Thinking outloud, please interject.

    Whoooaaaa. Back away from the edge. It’s a long way down if you jump.

    Well, it sounds like your decision is made. I must say, a dedicated rig does make life much more simple. Mine own rig is such. Good luck on the hunt and subsequent build.

    Thinking outloud, please interject.

    How far off grid are you going? Where is “out there”? You already do not have parts locally and have to order them so what’s the difference between now and then? If you are getting by just fine now would you not then? That $2500 could go a long ways toward other stuff.. or just one thing. Just a...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I figure every once in awhile I should start it and wash it. Fired up the radio and the 2 Meter was hot today! Fun to listen to while working.

    Tesla Cybertruck - What do you think?

    And it’s gps systems will route you through every super charger station from here to Death Valley and back without a hitch! You can admire other electro trucks in the hour it will take you to fill your tank. I am a fan of many things Tesla. Heck, most things Musk it would seem. That said, range...

    Inexpensive RTT

    That’s a screamin’ deal. Not sure I like their tents that much. But, at least you are getting a well known name and some customer service behind the thing. And at the price of the no name Chinese stuff at that.

    Dangerous situations!

    I guess it doesn’t qualify as dangerous but... Left my office later the anticipated once and got stuck in traffic on my way out of town. This put my way behind schedule so I decided to stay overnight in an unfamiliar spot not far off the highway. The place I stayed is part of the Marine Corp...

    Inexpensive RTT

    If enough people want a cheap Chinese knockoff tent, someone should put a direct buy together. I ran across someone doing so and bought a 270 awning for 115 brand new. As mentioned above, Alibaba is a great resource. The guys selling this tent are most likely doing the exact same thing. You’d...

    Tesla Cybertruck - What do you think?

    Don’t worry. All of those workers will get exactly what they want one day. They are just going to have to follow Tesla to another state to do so. There are reasons that NUMMI (the company that owned the same factory prior to Tesla) closed and that there are no other auto manufacturers on the...

    RTT hard cover idea..???

    I think I get what are doing now. I have the same issue with a tall rig ant a flip rtt. I would have the tank and the rtt inside and basically mimic a rooftop cargo carrier. Alternatively, I would look at switching to a hard shell rtt, which is the route I am going.
