    Off Road Cargo Trailers

    It really depends on where you want to take it. That trailer looks limited on belly and axle clearance and might be a bit wide and long for the tougher mountain trails. That said, your pic is the exact spec I would want if I had a truck with the torque to pull it. I prefer the coastal areas so...

    There's a good chance of me hitting both if time allows since I'm right between them in San Marcos.

    Roof Top Tent or Ground Tent?

    They do it on purpose. Ever notice they also prefer the fine tooth zippers over the big tooth zippers like you find on diving gear? There are easier ways. You can even get more reliability by looking in the history books. Buttons and/or grommets will fix what their engineers couldn't get right...

    SVO ....Small Vehicle Overlanding

    Yeah, I was lazy and didn't take any other rig pics but it was just a simple fishing trip this time around. The group I went with can't go without ac in 100+ temps so we were staying in low cost motels. I don't trust hotel beds so the orange box came along with bedding and the outdoor cushion...

    Overland Weight reduction

    10 liter is 2.6 gallons right? Home depot and Lowes have some good 3 gallon buckets that stack and can be repurposed while camping. They also stack inside each other when the water is used. ...or milk crates. They hold 4 gallons in a stackable, rugged, multi-purpose design that also fits...

    Off-road traction bar?

    Check around some 1/4 mile drag racing sites. I've seen them but haven't looked for them.

    OB Gathering with all members invited? - possible?

    If you need planning assistance on water capacity and quality logistics, feel free to give me a holler. That's the field I work in and I'm pretty good at problem solving.

    ATX Rigs n Tacos (Austin TX) - 06/29/2017

    This is why I would recommend Logan's roadhouse over the Cabela's restaurant. Last time I was in Cabela's on a week night they were making store wide closing announcements at 8pm.

    ATX Rigs n Tacos (Austin TX) - 06/29/2017

    I'm just down the road from Buda in San Marcos. In the Cabela's parking lot there is a cracker barrel, Logan's, a Dan's burgers and some fast food.
