    Rotopax VS Jerry Cans

    Yeah I concur, you only complain about the price til you have them in your hands and realize that they are made to be bomb proof.

    Rotopax VS Jerry Cans

    I have a bunch of both. Here's my BLUF - Jerry cans for fuel are a PITA. The neck always leaks, and the weight of 5 gallons at a time makes it hard to manage. So I prefer rotopax for fuel. I use sceptre 5 gallons for water most of the time. As far as when? Well anyone who has driven the length...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I'm about to have to do this too, I had my head redone last summer, and I let the shop replace it. Since then I've developed a significant exhaust leak, Im PRETTY sure its the Y-pipes, but I'm prepared to do them all. Im tired of the sound. :(

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I think they have that reputation, to be sure. That's why we started fooling around with not cleaning them, to get a feel for the worst case scenario. We were just unable to make them malfunction. Now, if you push forward on the magazine slightly while firing it, you can generate a double feed...

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    For my money, a tactical shotgun is by far the best defensive (and intimidation) weapon there is. That being said, I believe in keeping a smaller framed pistol handy (Sig 229 right now), and I have trusted my life to the AR chassis several times now. Steve I have never found it to be "fussy"...

    Fzj80 loud screech in reverse

    If it didn't start til you gassed it, it **probably** wasn't the transmission. I wouldn't think the U-joints or anything would make a difference in Forward or Reverse.

    Vehicular Hypochondria

    This post right here. I have the same issue, Im always hearing "new" noises, or feeling "new" vibrations. Its a thing. But I find that peace of mind comes in knowing that I can fix it, or at least be certain of whats wrong when it does coome. I mean I drive a 25 year old vehicle through some...

    External Fuel Storage

    So I used to do this as well, but I'm going away from my Roof Rack rapidly (gratuitous consonance). I plan to go to something smaller, there are numerous reasons, but it leads to me finding other ways to transport items. Fuel being one of them, I always carried two or three jerry cans on the...

    OB Watches

    I'm pretty stoked about this one too, I think I'll go with the Tactix, but its basically the same device. Very nice.

    Fly Fishing

    We spent the day fishing the North Fork of the San Gabriel yesterday, both with flies, and with spin baits. We did really well on red rooster tails, so we dug up some red dragonflies and bang! It was a good day on the river. For whatever reason, I don't seem to have any pictures with the fly...

    Fly Fishing

    THAT is beautiful right there. Gorgeous I just found a guy who posts on IG about fly fishing Brushy Creek. Living waters fly fishing I really enjoy small woodworking, and Im really leaning forward with trying my hand at bamboo rods. It's somethingmy dad used to do, so I have a little...

    Rear Diff Problems- Anyone rebuilt a Toyota 80 rear?

    Yeah I've spent a lot of time on gear installs, he's a wealth of information. Interestingly, I found that it wasn't the rear diff at all, but rather the front. After a bunch of chasing and troubleshooting we found that the noise was just traveling up the tranny tunnel and faking us out. I'll...

    Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

    The Tundra is a really overlooked, undervalued Overlander. It's got all the good of its more famous little brother, plus a V-8, and a better interior (arguably). Nice ride.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    That smell is more likely your cooling unit. Mine was full of all sorts of funk. I'll post a pic... Sent from my iPad using Overland Bound Talk

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    You know, I've never removed that panel from my truck. I always just fight with the leaves and whatnot through the grill. Sometimes I'm a dumb@$$.

    Tents

    This is the thing, I read a lot of reviews and I see people give solid feedback on products I know to be sub par. I have a few things around that I know will only work in ideal conditions, and I'm ok with that. I always try to temper reviews with reality and when i review something, I try to...

    What was your first vehicle you took exploring.

    I had a Volkswagen Dasher that I used to woo my wife with. You know what kind of woman she is now. It was Rust Orange with a white vinyl interior. Most importantly, i was young and poor, and couldnt afford to replace the starter, so i had to put it in neutral, engage the E brake, and arc across...
