I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- Overlanding/camping is not for everyone. Some people just don’t get it and never will.

Agreed. A simple set up and a whole lot less money — AGM battery, 65ah & up, charged with 200 watts of solar, will go indefinitely. ( gotta have sun ) We too had one panel and it required a lot of management. 2 panels is the way to go.

The short answer to the OP’s original question? No. Long answer? long ago I had heated seats in a fancy euro sedan. I don’t miss them. It just doesn’t get that cold around here to justify them again. I had ACC in the last 18 wheeler I drove. I f do I’d not like it, at all. I use cruise...

The deepest fording I’ve done was about 30” and that was many years ago. Any deeper than that we will find another way to cross. I don’t run in packs, but when I do run with 2 or 3 others we each stay way back from another so the dust has either settled or blown away. Keeping distance...

It’s a VW bug/beetle swap. It’s a very popular swap to fix the dependabity problems with light GM truck drive lines.. those old transaxles were bulletproof .

Good words from Road there.. I’ve a Landcruiser as well, a solar set up, a house battery, a manual isolator switch, a fridge, a small freezer, a 12v shower pump and a power inverter to run our 110v water pump. When my alternator dropped down to charging only 12-12.5 volts it was time for a new...

Infortunatel Unfortunatly, it’s more difficult to get a drivers license

Yea, should’ve clarified, known criminals with records or suspicion of crimes.. you see that a hole in Georgia. 21 years old, no previous record. That’s how it always goes.

Correct, the culture needs to change. Criminals however, rarely, very rarely, in fact never, partake in mass killings, nor are criminals killing folks during a crime of passion. It’s always the guy/gal or kids that have zero criminal record. Criminals, on the other hand, generally end up...

Cool traveling to aspire to, eh? Just read Graham Bell’s story of traversing Africa, Morocco to the cape.

Back in the mid sixties I went on a snowmobile retreat up on Michigan’s northern peninsula. I might have been 12 years old. We were farmers and cold weather gear meant rubber barn boots, two or three pairs of socks, two pairs of pants, a sweatshirt over maybe a flannel shirt, a zippered...

Well, those who stormed the capital were not poor or disadvantaged members of our society. They were middle class income and up wack jobs that fell prey to nearly 40 years of anti government propaganda telling them that government is bad. The poor and the disadvantaged were protesting over...

Ok, I’ll probably catch hell for this but here goes. 40 years ago I was a weekend warrior and a BFG guy. Their new AT tire back then was the cats ass. 35 plus years ago I was a Goodyear guy only because I ran a business and needed a dependable all weather street tire. That lasted about 5...

My vote, if it means anything, would be against any forums on OB that would be brand specific or vehicle specific. There are a ton of forums all over the internet for brand specific trucks, suvs, and Jeeze, anything with 2 wheels or more. Got a Toyota Tech question? Go to Mud, or any one of...

If it breaks it is from user error. I know because I screwed one up. However, the warranty is for life, and they sent me a new hatchet. I didn’t even have to pay for shipping

Check out how these guys secure really heavy stuff. I’ve seen one go over an embankment and not a single thing broke loose.. I strap down our 65lb 14”x14”x 48” tent using the same method. I don’t trust camstraps. For one, they are only as strong as the human is able to pull them, they do come...

60s on the Gladiator? I didn’t know that. About time, whined the former owner of a Dana 44 up front that was outfitted with 35 ujoints. As with my old rubicon I’d have to get rid of all the marketing badges and labels. Ahh, on second thought, F-350 when I get too old to set up camp.

Isn’t that the truth. Jeep wandered from me with the introduction of the JK. And, I can’t believe anyone, especially on these and other “ off road” type forums, can possibly argue that IFS is comparable to solid axles. They just aren’t. Comparing apples to apples, Toyota IFS versus Toyota...

Goodyear will retain the Cooper tire name and all that goes with them. The Goodyear name will continue focusing on passenger tires.The Cooper brand name will continue focusing on “fun” tires. That is the plan. If you have to ask how I know, I can’t tell you. Then again, it’s too late to...
