UPDATE: need this gone to free up some funds for other projects. Dropped the price to $4800 and throwing in my CVT tent and awning as part of the package. It’s the one pictured in the second post. I'm selling my home-built offroad trailer. Built myself from 1/8"x2" square tubing and 12 gauge...

Hey folks, we're moving to Nashville in the fall, and I'm just looking for some high level info on camping and routes in the Tennessee area? Honestly, It won't be worse than Texas-where camping is limited to state parks and private campgrounds. We're not hardcore-we have two toddlers, and just...

Need recommendations from Austin area folks! My transmission has started shuttering and chattering from a stop. It's done it a couple of times. I've already done a fluid exchange, I think its time to take it to a shop and look into a rebuild/replacement. 2003 4runner v6, 4wd, 213K miles on it...

Good video on this for anybody who's not currently aware. Full disclosure, I grew up using equipment and towing all sorts of things out of the woods or being stuck, ALL with a tow ball. I'd consider myself as close to a farm boy as a city-grown boy could be. Things like towing, using heavy...

Like the title says, has anybody used this particular arrangement for sleeping? It’s been several months since we went on our last camping trip with our daughter. Last one she was barely sitting up on her own, so sleeping in the RTT together wasn’t bad. Now, she’s a crawling fiend, and she’s...

Sup guys! Thought I'd share our weekend with you guys as we get started on it. Basically, I read a random comment on here a while back, where an ex-military dude said he remembered spending DAYS packing and re-packing humvees before missions, simply working on perfectly finalizing their loadout...

Hey everybody! Our fam is traveling from Texas, where we live, to Alabama for Thanksgiving. We're planning on capitalizing on the roadtrip time, to hopefully do some exploring. Tentative plan: Camping somewhere in East Texas or Louisiana Tuesday night on the way to AL, drive the rest of the...

Like the title says. Do you actually use it on a regular basis? And is your use hobby based, or coming from practical need for communication in a group? CB/Ham/FRS/GMRS. Whatever. Trying to decide if its even worth it for me to go down the mobile radio rabbit hole right now. My family and I...

So we have a bit of a problem. Our fam wants/needs some sort of shelter structure. Primarily for shade (because TX is hot and sunny), possibly cooking, and being able to hang out while sheltered from rain and wind. No real need to sleep in this shelter. We have a RTT for that. So which is...

Hey guys! So my wife and I sat down and did some planning for next year. We’ve got more trips we want to do, and a lots of things about our rig and setup that need to be addressed and upgraded. I had a huge long post typed out with our plan but I thought hey. Why not just see how other people...

Anybody frequent the San Antonio Cars and Coffee? A friend of mine just asked me if I wanted to go, I didn’t even know San Antonio had one. I know it happens 2nd Saturday of every month, 8-10am. Still figuring out the other details. Was mainly curious if any other OB members had experience...

Hey good folks! I need some help and suggestions. Edited-re-read this post and holy lord it is long. Shortened because it was ridiculous. I have some storage issues on my 4Runner, and I'm trying to lay out how to use the remainder of my roof rack space! Could use help or suggestions in...

Hey guys! My first thread, I've really been enjoying this community though. Friendly informative place. My wife and I are seriously considering attending OEW 2019 and making a long trip out of it, we've never been out west, and I've always wanted to get out on some of the awesome trails and...

Hey guys! Just discovered OB community recently. Been in San Antonio, Texas for a year or so, grew up camping and backpacking and have slowly been moving in a more vehicle-dependent direction since I owned my Tacoma, and now my 4runner. I’ve always loved being prepared, and I really started the...
