    4R Suspensions?

    I've been running an Old Man Emu setup for over 2 years now and have been very happy with it. It's very basic and does the job. I went with heavy coils up front (steel bumper/winch) and mediums for the rear. It carries weight, absorbs the bumps and there's no adjusting or rebuilding. I put...

    Rig Mileage

    65k miles (105k km's) on the 4Runner. Just did the first transmission fluid change. Haven't replaced any mechanical parts yet, which surprises me for the abuse it takes off road. Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself.

    Welcome to the Western Canada thread

    Disregard my comment about Tumbler Ridge. I forgot how far it was from Terrace. I'm used to flying there, not driving.

    Welcome to the Western Canada thread

    Welcome! I haven't ventured as far as Terrace yet but lots of stuff in Tumbler Ridge. A Backroads Mapbook at any Canadian Tire might help.

    OB Approved Chain Saws

    I'm using a Stihl MS271 and love it. Never had a problem yet. Would definitely recommend if you're able to carry a larger saw.

    Mountain biking

    Can we possibly start a Fat Bike vs Mountain Bike debate in this thread? I'm looking to buy a bike to bring with me on overlanding trips. I am fairly sold on Fat Bikes but I also like the full suspension 29ers. I have not been on a bike in years (at least seriously). Not sure which direction...

    Who Planted the seed for you to be an OverLander (Pic/stories)

    Great thread. Thanks for all the stories everyone. Mine is fairly simple. Grew up in an 'outdoorsy' family. Instead of going South on vacation my parents packed my siblings and I up and went camping to various provincial parks in Ontario. We were in Scouts (and later I went into Air...
