    Overlanding a little "differently" this weekend...

    Sand duning has always been one of my hobbies. I have a sand rail that's been under the knife for a remodel for about 2 years now, and it finally got ready for a shake-down so I decided to go out to Dumont dunes. In the past I've had a "toy hauler" type trailer, or an RV for the dunes but I...

    Any 8.1 GMT800 Suburban owners in here?

    Hey all, I'm looking for actual experience with, and feedback on 8.1 GMT800 Suburbans from owners. I'm pretty familiar with the GMT800 platform as a whole, and I've had a few buddies with 8.1s in pickups but nothing beats real-world experience that matches the intended use case from owners. A...

    My rant for the day...

    Am I the only one that finds it frustrating/annoying when folks post threads (often with a catchy title) that have ZERO content other than their YT video embedded? I get that some folks make YT content to actually help and educate, heck probably the majority of YT'ers. While some make massive...

    What are your favorite skottle/dicada/etc. recipes?

    Let's not debate whether or not "skottles" are worth it (there's already a thread for that), or focus on alternative "better" cooking methods here. Let's just share our favorite things to cook on the skottle. I'll start with a few that are my "go-to" favorites: Peppercorn Crusted Steaks with...

    If you're going to ask "what vehicle is best..."

    Obviously we see a lot of threads here asking "what vehicle is best." And like most matters of preference, we see a lot of varying opinions and often staunch brand-loyalty. It's much like asking "blondes or brunettes (but hey, what about redheads)?", "1911 vs. polymer?", "Whiskey or beer?"...

    Fool-Sized Overlanding Three Ways in Big Sur (and a 4Runner)

    Decided to go down to Big Sur this weekend with a few buddies. As it turned out, we represented 3 different versions of Fool(Full)-Sized Overlanding: full size pickup with a Four Wheel Camper, Suburban with a sleeping platform/drawer system inside, and a big-arse Ford van with a minimal DIY...

    Resolved Can we change/tune the "frequency" filtering?

    I imagine I'm not the only one that runs into this... but perhaps I just browse differently than others. I tend to go to the "New Posts" link, then I launch a few threads in new tabs. I tend to skip around through them, replying in some, looking up things in older threads to link in some of my...

    Going back to a Full Size for my Overlanding

    Historically, I always camped from my pickup back before we called it Overlanding. I've also done a lot of trailer/RV camping, and still have an RV. In the search for simplicity, I got more into Jeeps the last few years, and managed to over-complicate those too. I went from throwing a tent...

    SOLD (SOLD): West - 2018 SoCal Teardrops 459 Krawler - $22,999 - Las Vegas, NV - Willing to help with delivery up to ~500 miles

    Hey Overlandbound folks, I thought I'd make this available here first. First, let me address why I'm selling, as I'm sure it'll come up as the first question. In short, I'm buying a Four Wheel Camper slide-in for my pickup truck, because it suits my life better right now. I actually work in...

    Forum won't allow 2 characters in "First Name" field...

    Hey OB admins, I was updating my location in my profile since I moved recently and ran into an issue. Apparently the forum requires 3 or more characters for a first name. My real, legal first name (on my Birth Cert, SS card, etc.) is just "TJ". Not T.J. Not Thomas. Just "TJ". -TJ

    Recommendations for cheap/simple point 'n shoot cameras?

    Hey, I'm hoping the photogs in here might have some suggestions for a cheap/simple point 'n shoot that's well suited for Overlanding, outdoor and action photography. After most of my trips I always regret not getting more pictures (or vids). I have a Samsung S21 Ultra for my phone, and it's...

    What are your favorite adventure trailer gadgets and "hacks"?

    I recently got my first adventure trailer (a So-Cal Teardrops 459 Krawler), and have been setting it up for trips while I wait for the mountains around me to thaw and get a first trip in. When I was (much) younger I did a fair amount of backpacking. In more recent years I've done a lot of...

    Overland Trailers - first-hand experience: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    Hey OB folks, I'm looking for your first-hand experience with an Overland trailer. I'm currently kicking-around the idea of an overland trailer for use with my WJ but would love some real world feedback. My rationale for a trailer is as follows: The WJ is a great, relatively small size - but...

    Spots to go Overlanding in Central or Northern this time of year (Feb/March)?

    Hey Overlandbound, My winters are usually dedicated to other hobbies, so I don't have great winter Overlanding spots picked out. However, I really have the itch for to go on a trip in the next month or so. I don't mind snow camping and some cold weather, in fact I rather enjoy it. But all...

    Fool-size Overland Trip: Tamarack Lake in Shasta-Trinity National Forest

    This last Sunday a friend and I headed out to explore Tamarack Lake in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest and camp for one quick night. We hadn't been up there, and actually just took or tow-pigs. I was in my '11 Chevy Silverado 2500 (Duramax/Allison) and he was in his '06 RAM 2500 Megacab...

    New Member, '03 WJ JGC from Lincoln, CA

    Hello Overlandbound, I'm a new member from Lincoln, CA. I just joined (OB-20043) and made a brief post in the Member Introductions thread, but I thought I'd expand a bit here. I grew up backpacking with my Pops, so I'm familiar with minimalist camping, packing light, etc. Over the last few...
