I look like I am about to sneeze! Great trip, I really enjoyed hanging out and kicking up dust with all of you!

Definitely a fan of the Delorme Gazetteer map books although I wish they would spiral bind them. I keep one in the rig for whatever state(s) I will be in. The Butler maps, even though they are designed more for 2 wheelers, are awesome if they have one for where you will be running. GPS is nice...

First a disclaimer: I am not an engineer, chemist, expert in drivetrain/gearing systems etc. What I AM is a driver/operator/heavy truck tech with experience in heavy shops for 20 plus years and over 2 million miles of driving experience with trucks weighing as much as 100 tons. I actually have...

If you already have a 5 lug hub you are in good shape. As far as tires, Kenda makes a really good looking 235 wide off-road tire (not exactly cheap) but you would probably do fine grabbing any 15in AT or even MT tire that has a good thick sidewall. It's hard to find anything in a 205 that's not...

I have one of the Carry On 5x8 trailers too, so I can give some input. I don't use it for overlanding but would do a few things before I considered it. The bigger the tire you put on it, the longer the bearings will last. Bigger tire size = less revolutions at the same speed. These trailers...

I didnt like the "L" bracket mount that came with mine, tended to bounce going down the road and flex more than I liked while deployed. I have my RTT on risers above my bed rack and it provided a perfect solution to make a support bracket. Solid as a rock now!

I have the smallest of the OVS 270 line, the 270LTE. I love mine, have it on the drivers side with my RTT deploying to the passenger side. Even though it is small, it is perfect for myself solo. It offers just enough rain protection or shade to have a chair or 2 next to the tailgate and keeps my...

Sorry I was tired and was assuming you were talking about their winches as opposed to recovery gear. Their recovery accessories are just fine as well. The purple recovery straps are great, they will easily meet their WLL, but as with any rigging don't exceed the WLL. The screw shackles are good...

I will say this about harbor freight winches... We have a 40ft trailer that we use for sea containers. We had a Smittybilt X2O 15k winch on it and had nothing but trouble with it. The control box leaked and rusted the solenoids solid, the motor wouldn't spin all the time and you had to tap the...

So here is an example of how the OB1 app is drawing under the notification area/top bar as compared to other apps. The search and menu buttons are quite hard to press without hitting the back and home buttons. As far as the offline mode problem, all seems to be good after unselecting the auto...

I'm not familiar with that exact fitting, and hard to tell the type of fitting with the cap on, but it kind of looks like a high pressure R-12 refrigerant fitting maybe? Either way if it were me I would change it over to a more industry standard connector like a Compucheck test port fitting.

I took a look at things and did find the auto offline mode setting, turned it off and will see how things go in the morning. One thing that makes things difficult on the app is getting to the menu. For some reason the OB1 app draws full screen under the top notification bar, which has a home...

I will look at it in the morning, but to be honest I have looked and never seen any settings for offline mode anywhere, let alone anything like the screenshot you have there showing the biometric authentication setting. Is there a difference in versions with a tablet type device? I will look and...

This is the issue I am having... I have a phoenix automotive android stereo that I run in my JT. OB1 app works perfect as long as I have it completely closed and the unit has been on for 30 seconds or so first then open OB1. The problem arises when I have OB1 running, shut off the rig, then...

Have you been up in the area yet? I know it's not always accurate when it comes to trails and access roads, but the snow cover map doesn't look too promising. I wouldn't mind a day trip up there as I haven't been up that way in years, but don't want to spend the day battling hood deep snow.

I might be wandering in later Friday evening or possibly Saturday morning, work and all. I won't know for sure which until probably the day of but will be there either way.

This was a great trip. Everyone I met was really nice, and I had an awesome time! I hope to be able to do this again soon with everyone. One picture I thought turned out great...

As far as the taco potluck, I am more than happy to bring along my selection of hot pepper sauces for those that like their food to make them sweat. Is there anything else that I can bring along?

Greetings fellow travelers! New member here but have been doing this for a while now, although until recently just figured I was just driving through the woods and camping when I got tired... never realizing there was a name for it lol! I am a wrecker and recovery operator which is slightly...
