    Rude Overland Vehicle Etiquette

    Fair enough, the dude said I stopped reading at “ I was doing 75” then went on to berate the op. I called him out- he’s no expert at traffic flow, patterns, nor safety. My record and work history? I never talked about it until I retired. Now? Once in a while I mention, if for no other...

    Rude Overland Vehicle Etiquette

    Read Read exactly what my responses were to the gentleman that was attacking the original poster- and you’ll find that we agree. When being tailgated, one continues without changing a thing until a safe transition can be made into another lane. That would be after passing, which should be...

    Rude Overland Vehicle Etiquette

    so- according to your logic, if I am traveling 10-15-20 mph over the posted speed limit in the left lane, progressively passing slower traffic in the right lane, and you come roaring up behind me, and tail gate me with relentless abandon, I should slow down abruptly so I can dive into the...

    I thought they only lived out in Athol. But you are correct- metro Boston is a big gridlock with tons of Massholes LOL btw- I hated going anywhere on the 1-95 corridor- including Boston.

    Doesn’t affect us

    Off-Highway Vehicles | Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation This is definitely a step in the right direction in roping in the abuse that these types of vehicles render on the trails. The new law does not affect us as overlanders as long as we are using registered street legal vehicles...

    Gear on outside vehicle while on highway

    Wow, 6 hour drive. I wish.. Because ours is a dedicated vehicle all the stuff stays bolted or fastened on, except 3 boxes and the propane bottle. I have to take that stuff off to get in & out of the 7’ barn door. A home project will be to make the barn doors 8’ so I don’t have to bolt...

    Is anybody actually getting out ? (Edit)

    Thank you Shaun, as I get older I find it to be a lot easier to be whom I was meant to be. I can be quite inquisitive sometimes, always trying to figure out how things work, especially minds, and I’m sometimes mistook as being a troll. Sarcastic? Absolutely , but never troll like! Ha!

    Rude Overland Vehicle Etiquette

    The OP wasn’t clear, however, if I’m in the left l lane, no matter the speed, if I am progressively passing, I’m staying there, until I have passed however many vehicles I am progressively passing. That is the law in like 32 states.

    Rude Overland Vehicle Etiquette

    One more very short story on this subject. We live about 5 miles from a major 4 lane highway. It is a network of two lane country roads to get home. I'm in our unit, trailer in tow, doing the speed limit or 5 mph over depending on the twisty winding roads. Some guys in a car come up fast...

    Where to put pens, pencils, etc in the rig - just a little DIY tinkering

    Mine are in the glove box rattling around or in the zippered pouch with vehicle’s paperwork. I don’t wanna stab myself in the eye

    Portable heater

    I’ll 2nd the Little Buddy suggestion. We use ours quite often and it does a great job. We set it up down below in the annex of our RTT and we stay toasty warm, even when the temps get down to 11f.

    Is anybody actually getting out ? (Edit)

    I used to post up trip reports on various forums, here, expo, mud, YouTube, F/B etc, and even had a couple of stories published along with photos in hobby magazines. I was easily clicking the shutter a thousand times during a 3-6 week trip. I even had a very small fan base. In the 3-4 years I...

    Rude Overland Vehicle Etiquette

    Oh jeeze; you just had to get me started on people that are so easily offended.. Nah; no time for em, I gave up, if they are so easily offended they can find their own little campsite to be all by themselves so as not to be offended. Happy New Year to all. Peace out.

    Rude Overland Vehicle Etiquette

    Unfortunately, yes you are. There are lots of people that would be joyful to close down our access to public lands and make the vehicles we drive so strictly regulated making any modifications illegal. All they need is an excuse to justify their negative stereotypical opinions of our...

    Unfortunately you experienced something that goes on every day in every city all across ‘Merica. Karma will get them, it always does. Not only do they pay the price in premature wear of brakes, tires, steering & suspension components, they will have an accident. Interestingly enough, people...
