    Spring Break 2018 Death Valley Overland Trip Planning March 25-29 - 03/25/2018

    I RSVP'd as "Going" but it doesn't show up on the page here... maybe I need to be approved? I've got a 2016 Power Wagon on 37's. Should have my RTT and such by then to enjoy the trip with my sons. Looking forward to it.

    Driving question - soft conditions

    This is why 2007-2010 Dodge Ram HD trucks had an “empty” button on the dash... it would let you run lower pressure in the tires without having the annoying warning light on all the time. It’s very common to run lower pressure than the PSI rating on the sidewall. That rating is the max PSI and...

    Truck level kit

    I’m guessing it’s a Tacoma? If so, King or Icon coil overs will offer way more performance than a bilstein 5100. I put the 5100’s on my FJ, performance was negligibly better than stock. I then put the Icon coil overs on it and it was game changing. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Two words: air down. Lower air pressure makes washboard much easier on vehicle and humans. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Looking for information regarding backcountry travel and camping in Death Valley.

    New Years 1998... I was driving on Saline Valley Road (west edge of Death Valley NP) and the airbags went off on my 1997 Dodge Dakota. This was on a graded dirt road, that had some recent rains wash across certain sections. We hit a washed out section going 50ish and BANG. No damage to the...

    Looking for information regarding backcountry travel and camping in Death Valley.

    Get an InReach and go have fun! Satellite communicators are a game changer, making it much safer to travel alone. That said, it's always better to have 2 vehicles travel together... but at least you will be found before you're dead if something does happen that strands you in BFE.

    Have you had any poor handling or alignment quirks since installing the Thuren springs? I imagine caster may be an issue which could cause wandering on the highway and such. Any feedback in that regard? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Largest RTT (Roof Top Tent) Available?

    First off, I know almost everyone in here knows RTT stands for Roof Top Tent. I put it in the title so this thread will be more easily searchable. So... I have a wife and 5 kids. I am looking for the biggest RTT available. So far I have found: 1. CVT - Mt. Denali - 87" x 96" sleeping...
