@North American Sojourner Ha ha! To get that next Instagram shot ya mentioned earlier, no doubt!

Pricing differs wildly between regions, so let's not discuss price too much. For mixed and mud, what are your thoughts on the Maxxis RAZR AT 811? Looks like a moderately aggressive tread pattern, and is 3PMS rated. Specs look like it would be fine for light towing as well (5k truck, 5k...

@Renegade Not bad, not bad at all! Hard to beat ARB's compressors. Point taken, people work hard and spend much time and money to develop a solution to a negligible problem (releasing pressurized air) relative to the amount of effort put into easing and quickening an actually complicated...

@Kendv8s Looking sharp! Always sorta wanted a 1st-gen Raptor, but no way I could wheel around here with it - trails are too tight! Would make a great base camp and tow rig, though. Happy trails!

@OTH Overland @reaver This! There is no one ultimate vehicle for every task (taking us back to @RichieFromBoston's "ultimate" thread), but rather, the ultimate collection of purpose-built vehicles and add-ons for each task. More options are always better. Best option would probably be a built...

@Renegade Airing up, time consuming? What you using, a bicycle pump? Kidding! I have two 12-volt portable compressors, both received from acquaintances who no longer needed them; one is a worn-out Slime and the other is a cheap HyperTough (Wal-Mart) but either one will get all four of my 33's...

@Monte1 I need them and I kind of want them, but I won't likely ever get them. Low-hanging branches are common where I usually wheel, but I'd have to see them in action to know whether they'd work on my kind of branches or not.

@North American Sojourner Now now, don't be hating on the guy who has a specialized tool for every thing! Sure, nobody needs it, but you gotta admit that all of this trendy specialized equipment looks pretty cool at the bottom of a shiny, clean tool box that never sees the sunlight!

@Chad C Ah, I see! No doubt someone will use them; and I forgot about the swivel chairs, that partition would certainly get in the way! Gonna keep tabs on this thread, I like me a good van build!

@Red_Leaf_Overland Hypothetical is the name of the game! There are plenty of full-size options out there, and cross-compatibility between Silverados, Suburbans, and Tahoes means abundant aftermarket support. You could actually make that a reality for fairly cheap, if you can find a good truck to...

I've never seen any tool work faster than a random rock or twig, just poke it on the valve and let 'er rip for 10 or 20 seconds, then verify the pressure with a Slime gauge, ha ha. Of course, most tire pressure gauges also have a nub on one end for releasing pressure.

@North American Sojourner Magnificent!

@Chad C She's coming along nicely! Although if I might be so bold, keeping at least one of those shelves or the partition in there might be a good idea, for gear storage - you could hang commonly used items such as axe, shovel, jumper cables, etc. on the partition, use the shelves for a spare...

@hstraw Both configurations look great, but un-delete that spare tire ASAP and get a matching spare! Nice tire choice, just keep 'em rotated - Nitto deep treads don't wear amazingly well, in my experience. I run them hard though. Toyota Sequoia is a good pick for a big rig, but I would...

@benmmc Seriously? Garages are like every other business though, looking for bodies to fill positions. "Experts" know so much, their knowledge hardly applies to real life. Ha. The print-out isn't a bad idea, but ultimately if you want the job done right, you'll have to do it yourself... lots...

@Sholuck87 Congratulations, now you see why there are rules! :P Nothing like a solo outing to put your truck through its paces. Some times it's a test of self-sufficiency as well, which is not a bad thing. But it's better if you bring a pal whose help you don't need!

@Linda C_bad5f1 Welcome to OB1, from the east coast! Hope you have fun in the community, and enjoy the great outdoors.

@Carnage_95YJ Well, I don't want to push you to do anything you don't want to - but I'll be sticking to the moderate trails any way, so you'll still have somebody to run with even if you don't take the hard stuff. It's really up to you, though. And where's @b0wfin, I thought he'd be in on this...

@Carnage_95YJ Found some old pics from last year, to give an idea of some of the easier trails. The camera never captures the slopes. The majority of the trails are like this. There are lots of videos about the area on the Internet, as well. Most of it is only difficult because of incline and...

Your forests look roomy, up that way! :P
