I've literally been looking at off road campers all day. Man, it's crazy that you can spend twice as much for a little teardrop than I paid for a 30ft bumper pull. And it's not much more expensive to do a flat bed swap with a slide on camper. I think I'll do the trailer option and see if I can...

Lol great entertainment. My favorite were the "takedown" chopsticks. Do chopsticks really take so much room you need them to nest into each other? That's a pretty nice Defender though.

No you been plenty of help and thanks for the response. I pretty much considered everything you said. Another disadvantage of the F250 is the cost of aftermarket parts. Pretty much double what you'd pay for a Toyota. After thinking more about this, it really only comes down to the F250 and the...

I have 3 separate rigs I could start to build up. I want to hear your advice. I'll start by describing the type of Overlanding I'd like to do and a little about myself for reference. I live in Middle Tennessee. My wife and I were full time Rvers for a few years but decided to settle in Tennessee...

This guy has a pretty cool Tremor. I've got the sane Diamondback bed cover but I dont think I'll be doing the same set up that he has.

The only complaint I have with the aluminum bodies is finding a shop to do the repairs. My wife was just recently attacked by a stationary pole at walmart. She tried her best to escape the beast but apparently it was to fast for her and did considerable damage to both driverside doors and the...

It makes me sad that ARB no longer produces the bullbar for the newer Superduty. This would be my choice hands down.

Yeah not a lot of choices for the Fords. I have a '17 Superduty and prefer an ARB style bumper but cant really find one I like. I'm seriously considering just using Warn's bumper mount winch. I know guys in the oilfields who use them a lot and say they are very capable. If you're looking for...

That doesnt look like a bad little rig. Would be nice if it was awd but at least you got plenty of room. Great advice from all the other members. I'd just add that maybe go out with a group if you're unfimiliar with the trails just in case you get stuck. Always make sure someone knows where you...

Nice to meet you. We should get together for dinner sometime.

Thanks for the heads up. I should be home for thanksgiving( I work offshore). I'll check back when it gets closer.

Whats up guys!! I'm semi new to OB. We just settled in Middle TN in Rock Island. We were full time RV'ers for a couple years but recently bought a property to build a little homestead on. Obviously being an RV'er, I'm not new to camping and traveling but I've always wanted to get more into...

Go with either Viair or ARB. They cost more but well worth the money. The cheaper brands are poorly built and have low duty cycles. Dont be fooled by "high" output cheap brands. They might fill a tire a couple seconds faster but the poor construction is gonna cost you in the long run. Ask me how...

Got my 5# from Ace hardware, but yeah, it was 50 bucks. I had problems finding a place that would purge it. Took it to 3 different places. All said they couldn't. Had to take it to a propain dealer to get it purged. I think the other 3 just didnt know how or didnt want to waste the small amount...

It sucks that you'll spend more on a mount than on the bottle itself but still worth it.

Wonder if anyone has ever thought of using their CO2 tank as a fire extinguisher. Seems like it would work. Obviously you'd need a different nozzle. Maybe have it set up as an extinguisher at all times and then change out the nozzle for tire inflation? IDK, im just spit ballin.

Man, im not trying to scare you but once apon a time I was a Lexus tech and had an Lx450 come in with every dash light on and misfiring like crazy. Turned out to be extensive rodent damage. The insurance company totalled the truck but the customer wanted it fixed. Turned out to be like a 40 some...

Sometimes we get caught up in titles. Overlanding, Camping, Rv'ing, Off roading. Its all the same innate human desire to explore and discover whats over the next hill.

Yeah I thought maybe that was the case but on this example spec sheet for a PWM charge controller it has an input voltage of 12v and a boost voltage of 14.4v. Specifications: Nominal Voltage: 12/24V auto recognition Rated Charge Current: 30A Max. PV Input Power: 12V/450W, 24V/900W Max. PV Input...

Why cant you use a solar charge controller as a DC/DC charger? Or am I missing something?
