    Camping in a Box!

    Love my Plano boxes. My needs are slightly different. We have a few smaller boxes for our camping gear to be organized. The gear all stays separated in our water tight offroad trailer so we don't need to condense it into just a couple boxes because it hardly ever needs to be transported far...

    Overlanding Rig Build - 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser

    "All modifications and maintenance are done by me." - best sentence. Its important to know your vehicle. No AAA out on the trail. I do all my own mods as well.

    2014 Long Travel Tacoma Overland Build

    I had the old man emu Dakar suspension when I was running a softoper/bedrack/ rtt. It held the weight great offroad. The RTT sitting above the cab does affect the mileage but I stopped caring about mileage long ago.

    How To: Off-Road Trail Tire Repair

    I have a tire plug kit in all 3 of my vehicles and have used them several times on my cars and other. No need for a fancy kit. I have the $3 dollar kits from walmart. They work great. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Slime-Deluxe-Reamer-Plugger/47301725

    Airing down tires.

    Ive seen several flats from people not airing down and the traction when crawling without airing down is terrible. Also the ride is so much smoother with aired down tires. Totally worth it. I usually go down to 20 for overlanding/fireroad stuff. I go to 15 for offroadng.

    The SOP on SH*T

    I hike up the biggest hill. Once I get to the top I dig a hole and put my folding tolet seat over it. I then relax and enjoy the view with a fresh cup of coffee. After a few minutes I fill in the hole and hike down.
