    Stocking stuffers for Overlanders

    A way to boil water for coffee/tea, food, etc. I’ve had lots of different stoves/cook systems over the years and came across the Fire Maple Gear systems(knockoffs of the Jetboils) and it’s been fantastic, and gets lots of use. It’s a great gift, around $70, and will definitely come in handy.

    Post pictures of your camp kitchen

    This is probably my 4th or 5th version of my kitchen setup!

    US Southwest Big Bend Closures

    Went there the end of April! Big Bend is beautiful! I think I saw one of the most epic sunsets out there when at camp. I would go as early as possible, if you can, as it gets very hot, at least for me. We had over 100 degree days, and the sun was brutal-lots of sunscreen! We camped down...

    Let's see those rigs in action

    Few pics from a trip to Colorado/Utah/Arizona area this past summer. Gladiator is a good friend who traveled with me, and the Land Cruiser is another close friend on the trip-76 series, RHD, diesel with the first Alucab Thor conversion in the US. He did the conversion before our trip this past...

    Thank you! Yes, you access from inside the vehicle. There's about 6'4" of headroom when standing in the Jeep, so plenty of room! It's nice to be able to stand up to change clothes, wash off, etc. An Ursa Minor really is the perfect setup for a Wrangler, especially for those doing a lot of...

    Continue building my Honda Element or find a Tacoma or 4Runner?

    Some good advice already posted here. Really comes down to how capable of a vehicle you really need, based on the terrain you plan to visit. I built my Wrangler to basically allow me to get up and through any terrain, and to be the perfect rig for extended travel(for me). I also have a Honda...

    Figured I'd post a couple of recent pics. Got rid of my DV8 steel bumpers and went to factory Recon/10th Anniv. steel bumpers, with a Maximus 3 ft bar. I got tired of the look of the DV8's, and thought the factory steel bumpers just looked cleaner. Plus, a change is good every now and then...

    Camp Photos!

    Just did a 2 month long trip out to the Southwest. Some epic camp spots out there! Leaving again mid August for another couple of months out in Colorado, Utah, and possibly back out to California. First and second pics are in Alabama Hills, one of my favorite areas. Third and forth pics are...

    US East Northern VA / MD Monthly Meetups

    It's been awhile since I've been active on OB. However, thanks to my current schedule, I have a lot more time now! Just actually got back from Baja and a two month trip to the southwest. Highly recommend, as the SW is stunning! Have there been any meet ups recently here in NOVA? If not, we...

    Baofeng GMRS

    I've used the Baofeng UV-5R 8 Watt version for a couple of years. No issues with it at all. It's very clear, is stronger output wise compared to most handhelds, and it's cheap! I also have a couple of Midland handhelds as well. They all basically do the same thing, designed to be used for...

    Rooftop Tent Rally

    Heading down towards Arrington for Expo East this coming Tuesday, camping for a few days before rolling into Expo. Leaving Expo on Sunday most likely and doing the same thing again before heading over to RTTR the following Thursday. RTTR is always a lot of fun! I'm surprised it hasn't sold...

    What justifies the expense for a rooftop tent?

    So, do you want the brutally honest truth? And I can probably speak for most of us on this forum, to a certain degree. It's not a matter of need, it's a matter of want. Most of what we purchase isn't needed, at all, but we WANT it. I fall right into that category with many of my purchases...

    New old guy from South Carolina

    Welcome to Overland Bound! This is a fantastic family of like minded folks who are more than happy to share knowledge and answer questions, so ask away! Are you coming up to Arrington, VA next weekend for Overland Expo East?

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Oh, and the Ursa Minor top was a few months ago. The Ursa is worth every penny!

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Dynatrac Serious Performance complete Dana 60/Dana 44 axle assemblies. Can’t wait to get this install done. They’re still in the crate!

    Can’t even recall the last time I posted! Hate when work gets in the way! Don’t think I’ve posted any pics since installing the Ursa Minor.

    Tailgate Flipdown Tables for Jeep Wranglers

    Yep, you can not beat the quality, finish, fit, etc on the Outback table. The Front Runner table is decent, but it's nowhere near as nice as the Outback. Looks great!

    SOLD Helinox Cot One - Tan

    These are fantastic! I keep one with me in the Jeep all the time. It’s been borrowed many times at camp by others and everyone says great things about them.

    What is your preferred shelter? (Rooftop Tent vs Ground Tent vs Etc...)

    Love those Fleetwood Neon's! I had one of the Cobalt series. Wish I never would have sold it! Yours looks great!
