I get it that I won’t find a do it all rig, but I am gonna try lol. I love the Ford SDs but they are large. I hate the experience I had with my last one after the turbos blew, dealer didn’t want to warranty it and then while trying to squeeze 10K out of me, went bankrupt and closed shop. That’s...

Good point as your just reminded me my exhaust on the power stroke was like 1800+ degrees. Makes complete sense that it would be a danger in wooded areas. I didn’t evan realize it. Thanks! I am also concerned with diesel when traveling outside the US with it. Canada not so much, but anything...

@ChasingOurTrunks it’s like I am talking to myself ... lol My original thought (and still top choice) was to throw either a PCOR Tray/Canopy or a RSI Smart Tray/Canopy. The PCOR would allow for the dog box. This is what I was imagining for my sons service dog, his own space. However heat/cold...

Regular maintenance isn’t the issue, it’s when something goes wrong. My last power stroke DRW blew up its turbos and the repair was 10K.... which is why i second guess the diesel thing all the time. Especially outside the US.

If they still made the excursion, it would be at the top of my list.

@ChasingOurTrunks you list sounded like a Jeep list at first. The reason I really like the Diesel Gladiator is the fact that it offers a platform that meets a lot of the points for me. Transfer case, frame, 5 passenger, and truck bed. I want a diesel for long term use and high mileage, as a...

Great information on your process and very solid points!

Thanks everyone for the insight. The reasons I am having a tough time making a decision are: 1. Transferring from off-roading/rock crawling to overlanding. History points me towards wanting to able to manage all size trails. 2. Family size and comfort is priority if I want them to come along...

Looking for some guidance... I have always been a Jeep guy, a truck guy, and a diesel fan as well. With that said, I am patiently waiting on the Jeep Gladiator Diesel as I feel it will be the perfect truck for me. However, being new to overlanding, and trying to work out the loading up a 5’...

Yes that would be great!

That is the dog we would prefer even though your right we can’t seem to find a reputable trainer to train one as service dog.

The only drawback would be the lack of an “outside” screened area with the core. Which can be resolved if needed.

I am actually looking at the 12 person, 2 adults on 1 side, 2 kids on the other with dog. Which would allow some space in the middle for gear, or for just hanging out, or as a safe area for my son. For $300, looks easy enough to set up alone too if needed .

I have seen that and realistically is I think I would get an awning. how do you like it? I have seen some reviews online but nothing with a family. how long does it take to fully deploy? do you know if you can attach it to a 270 awning? I know the room would not be the size of the 270. sorry...

I am actually down to choosing between these two tents based on recommendations from this thread. For family of 4 + son’s service dog (going through process now), and also provide a screened in area / safe space for my son (autistic) ; while also providing a place for my wife to escape too as...

@Airranger84 in another video I saw while doing my research, Goal Zero has a “link” that ties it to the car similar to a dual battery setup. Might be for lithium only though, I don’t remember. However I figure I would mention it. You guys can see it that works for you.

with OZTent enough room for everyone and dog?I think the new model is the RX4 or 5 which has the walls and floor.

On another forum I have been following the development of a RSI Smart Canopy, Smart Tray, and Canopy XL for the Jeep Gladiator. Since Overland Bound has members all over the world, I was wondering if anyone has experience with RSI products. If so what can you tell me about your experiences with...

Goal Zero Yeti 1400 For the CPAP guys, they touch on it briefly in the 9th minute of the video. Possible option for you guys to explore.
