Here is my new and old Defender. Old one has a new Cummins R2.8 fitted and headed to exhaust shop. Spent past 9 months installing it! Getting her ready for Expo in Flagstaff!
I'm trying to be honest. It's not a dubious claim to call it freestanding as all the above mentioned awnings are freestanding. We will revisit the website and make some changes as we don't want to deceive customers. We will remove 'fully' from the description.
They are very sturdy and we have...
Yes, I am part of Overland Pros, no secret. I am also friends with Michael and we sell product through Overland Bound.
I am not trying to misrepresent or make outlandish marketing claims. All those awnings are considered 'freestanding'. Ours is no different. In strong winds all of them should...
It is freestanding. It doesn't need poles to be deployed and is very sturdy. Very similar to OVS but has velcro for walls which is makes them much easier to out up and down. The legs are for very windy conditions or if you have walls attached the awning to help with support.
Your choice...the...
Haven't tested directly in wind but it's the same hinges on the Wraptor 6k which withstands a decent amount of wind. It also comes with poles to guy it down if wind is an issue. Most of the time it will be fine on its own. Sets up really fast!
I have the 4 gallon original with pump cap. Works decently but leaks. I won't keep it in the truck. The hitch mount works well but can decrease departure angle if serious wheeling.
I've scaled down my clothes on trips dramatically the past few years. Now for a whole week I'll prob only take 2 pairs of pants, 2 shorts, swimsuits, couple of Ts, 2 long sleeves. I find I wear one set of clothes multiple day and just change Ts, undies and socks. In the desert I wear bedrock...
It's amazing how inconsiderate people are when camping in a campground a few feet from others. Loud music, cussing, staying up really late when there are people right next door. Campgrounds need to enforce the 'rules' more so everyone can enjoy the space. Again, the main reason to build a...
I have gone through at least 4 Trasharoos over the years. They just dont stay up and get shredded all the time. I now have a GARB, made in Canada. Definiely more expensive, but much better design and more robust. You can leave the mounting straps on the tire and then just attach the bag when you...
Overland Pros, based in Sacramento, will have a booth there. We make some great roof top tents and awnings. Michael has a few videos of our products and has our Wraptor 4K awning on his 80 series. Please stop by and say Hi! Overland Bound discounts!
Update- bought the Inreach Mini before my ascent of Mt Shasta in June. Works great and love the size. 1/4 of the size of my original InReach. Nice to have a rechargeable battery and it lasts a number of days and easily recharged with mini-USB though I wish it was USB-C. Screen is surprisingly...
I agree that budget gear is what most people buy, but then I have broken and gone through so many 'budget' chairs and tables over the years it added up to more than good quality products. Budget chairs also tend to be so uncomfortable I just gave them away.
14 inch coilovers in place on 1.75 inch DOM tubing we bent. Custom power steering hose in place. Fired her up last month as a test run. Working on clutch and brakes to get her moving again. Then the interior work begins...
Snow peak iron grill table with Baja burner, oven, angle table and side table. Will buy double BBQ box soon. Planning on building out slider with storage in Santana/Defender.
Next up, battery isolator for dual battery setup. Already have RuffStuff dual battery box and 2 Optima yellow tops. Cut...
Imported another rover from Barcelona. A 1991 D90 LHD with a great frame but the interior is a bit beat up. Will fix her up and sell her. 200tdi engine ia very strong and doesn't leak...might be dry, lol...
