    New Mexico Overlanders

    Saw a pretty badass 5Th Gen 4Runner with an OB badge on Eubank @I40 today. Blue with an RTT. Nice rig to whoever that was.

    what do you carry your tools in? (ideas and pictures)

    x1000 for Gorilla tape. And ratchet straps. Screw drivers, vice grips, and fluids are handy... the list grows from there.

    What are Your Favorite Overland Recipes?

    Posted a new one the other week, avocado toast two different ways... smoked salmon and soft boiled egg. Also found out the the MSR windburned works really well for making toast in camp, thought it was pretty slick so wanted to share.

    New Mexico Overlanders

    Hey everyone, I just relocated to Albuquerque from the SF Bay Area (yes, another one of those people haha). My grandfather worked at white sands, and my father was born in cruces and graduated from NMSU, so New Mexico has always felt like kind of a second home. I lived in Tucson for about 7...

    I think it might be like steel cut, the Irish style. If it is I’m a big fan.

    Weird, I’ll look at the link. If you search “Overland caprese” it should pop up, the channel is Overland Cookery, got a few other demos up there.

    moving on from a tacoma

    My only concern with the power wagon is that it’s an FCA product. I’m sure this has been discussed elsewhere though?

    moving on from a tacoma

    The older I get, the more I enjoy full size suv’s and pickups. For what it’s worth, maybe spend some time behind the wheel of those. This is coming from someone who sold back a 3rd gen Tacoma after justs a few months of ownership.

    Overlanding cook books

    I published a cookbook specific to overlanding earlier this year, we had a booth at the Overland Expo West if any of you were there. We just launched our YouTube channel today, and we're on Instagram as well. I emailed Michael a month ago or so asking how to go about promoting it here and...

    Post pictures of your camp kitchen

    How about a camp kitchen in a kitchen-kitchen? Running inventory and deep cleaning everything the other night, I should have taken a shot of the spread I had going on in my living room, gear was everywhere!

    WK2 Jeep Grand Cherokee Rock Sliders

    It’s not hard, just annoying cause of the foam so it takes awhile. Chief just released their sliders too which look really nice.

    Storing eggs

    I’ve found the yellow plastic holders to be too small for most eggs, but maybe it’s an older model. I also like sunny side up or over easy eggs, so I usually pack whole eggs. At home I stick to pasture raised, but for overlanding I’ll find whatever dozen comes in those clear plastic...

    Selling a brand new Front Runner rack for 5th gen Toyota 4Runner's. Includes under-rack table slide, shovel mount, and fairing. Rack uses their universal tracks so it sits much lower to the roof than their vehicle-specific option. Nothing wrong with the rack, just going a different route. Asking...

    RTT and High Wind

    I’ve been in some obscene winds in my Tepui without a hitch. Others couldn’t sleep but I’ve gotten used to the peripheral noise. Have there been any reports of a rtt catastrophically failing in high winds? Anything is possible but I don’t think I’ve come across any. I’d be curious to see what...

    RTT and High Wind

    My Tepui has d rings on what becomes the underside of the floor when it flips open, where the ladder attaches. If it’s windy I’ll throw a cam strap from one of the rings down to my slider. I’ve never been concerned about it folding up, more about it lifting up enough to drag the ladder in...
