    Janky kitchen build

    For those who have seen my Raider built, it's pretty small and integrated in terms of gear (it has to, to fit stuff), so it doesn't have a kitchen, just a slide-out fridge and storage boxes + 2 Kelty kitchen bags for food stuff and coffee stuff. This build isn't for that, it's for my Sequoia...

    Pots and pans (and kettle?) - nesting, compact, not crazy expensive

    I've been doing a lot of reading, but it's clear that many here have more extensive cooking needs than I do / more space to put stuff / more actual cooking skill than I have. Anyhow, I'm looking to pick up a small set for camp cooking that ideally would include a pot, a frying pan/griddle, and a...

    Yakima Road Shower - Cap Seal - Does it have one?

    I've had a Yaki Road Shower for a few years, used pretty regularly, but last weekend it wouldn't hold pressure, was leaking through the cap - past the threaded part, not the pressure relief valve. I looked at it an there's no seal (rubber, plastic, etc.) on either the cap or on the "base" on the...

    Affordable tablet for maps w/SIM card slot?

    I know there are some "toughbook" style tablets (SxS and stuf like that) built for the hardcore overlanders, but I'm looking for something just for our weekend trail runs on the rare occasion my buddy isn't there with all his mapping gear to lead the group. Since I won't use it much don't really...

    adaptor for JetBoil halfgen from propane tank to match Coleman grill

    I recently picked up a hose to run from my 5lb propane bottle to my old Coleman stove so I can stop using the 1lb disposables. Works fine, as expected. But then I went to use it on my Jetboil Halfgen and.....apparently it has a different (finer) thread pitch on the screw-on adaptor than the...

    tubing thickness for swing-out gear carrier.

    I'm looking to build a swing-out carrier for half of the rear of my rig. Tire is door-mounted so this won't carry the tire. The plan is to have it about 2' long (off the left end of the bumper frame) with a 2x2 square tube bottom piece and two 2x2 vertical pieces. The verticals will mount a 24"...

    Weekend trip: Dolly Sodds, Blackwater State Park, Canaan Valley (W. Va.)

    To finish up 2023 we took a short weekend wheeling/camping trip out to West Virginia, which was one day of great weather (50s even up in the mountains) and one day of torrential rain (but still warm). This one had some great trails and scenery, good primitive camping (if not a bit muddy), and a...

    Build/overland/4x4 stuff: 1989 Raider, 2010 Sequoia, and other projects

    So since I have my build threads on my various vehicles elsewhere, I'll just pick up here where I am on those, and post about various stuff I'm doing TO them and WITH them (admittedly less cool than the adventuring many of you do, but hopefully they'll improve! Here are a few relevant links if...

    New member - Mid-Atlantic (Raider and Sequioa are my means of travel)

My vehicles: 1989 Raider V6, 5MT, LSD for weekend trips here...
